Skirmishers with Different Base Size

Post by youngseward »

Any of you guys know how placing a character with a base size that doesn't fit with a skirmishing unit works? I'm thinking specifically of branchwraith in wwardancers/scouts/waywatchers. In a normal formation the 25mm branchwraith would have to be placed to the side of the unit, but I'm not sure if skirmishers changes that as they have the extra space.

I think it still applies. Besides, if you mixed up the base sizes and charged or got charged you would be in the same mess as with a ranked unit.

When they get in melee they need to "contract" into a regular ranked formation so it needs to be on the side.
