Rob, Brythoniaid Teyrn: Armoured with Arfwisg Trwm (corselet, helmet) and can replace this with Arfwisg Trwm (corselet) which has the replacement (Arfwisg) rule.

May have been mentioned (yes I am being too lazy to check) but the werbera in human form has the same M+W for the two-handed beraex as the bear form, 71 when the human for should be 54 I believe.

Re: Painting Ravens

Andy,
Thanks for the reply. I suspect that with my current painting skills (none existent) that the black base followed by successive layers of drybrushing may end up being the best option for me.
Would you recommend any particular inks to achieve that glossy finish?

Re: Skirmish at Coffa Tree 11/6/17

Aye that part was clear, I was meaning from a size perspective. The kindred terrain is rolled against a table that dictates the size of terrain piece that can be placed (as far as I can tell at least), will this just be a case of placing whatever sized piece of terrain you bring?

Just a quick question.
Given the rules for generating kindred terrain involve rolling against the chosen class to determine the type. How are you wanting to resolve this with us bringing two pieces of terrain to the event?
