Is a 12" by 12" circular shallow water terrain feature legal for tourny play?

If it is how can i prove it

i couldn't find specific rules on it... nothing about a size limit on terrain... unless somebdoy else can find something, then it's good, unless your warlord has a problem with it for some reason...

problem is, i seem to remember reading about a size limit.

"All terrain pieces that are not Standard Terrain Templates must be between 16 and 64 square inches in size, no more than 10 inches on any given side, and composed of only one type of terrain per piece."

So, nope, too big.

Too big on a side and 49 square inches too much area also.

A 9" circle would be legal and almost exactly the maximum area.

Of course, any terrain that does not conform to one of the standard terrain templates is allowable only by the warlord's discretion.

Exactly what Balduvian said. I allow ONLY the standard terrain templates in my events; saves alot of headache from people coming up with 'gimmick' terrain strategies.

(Anybody remember that 'donut-shaped' terrain trick? :rolleyes: )

The terrain piece called the 'copse' is a circular-shaped piece with a 4&½ inch diameter, or, to make things easier, exactly the size of a CD.

Anything bigger than that, no dice, unless your WL specifically approves it, ie, if it were for a special scenario or something.

Hope this helps.

That all depends on you warlord....

I f he deems the piece too unbalanced... he'll simply not allow it....

If he says that he allows only STP's than that's all you have.... can't magine why you'd want a big circle anyway

well in some special scenario games, special terrains really are nice. it makes for great gaming..

but for tournaments.. well that is another matter.

it really depends on the warlord if he see's it fit, either being fluff or being way to cheesy. but for me I don't normally allow non-STP's coz that was stated on the Warlords consolidated Rules.

even in a friendly game I still use the STP's to practice using the only terrains allowed by Wizkids.

hmm so the head warlord of the Philippines speaks.. LOL

my question has been answerred thank you

Actually, although the Warlord has discretion, this does fall out of the possibility of being legal.

From the WizKids tournament rules: "All terrain pieces that are not Standard Terrain Templates must be between 16 and 64 square inches in size, no more than 10 inches on any given side, and composed of only one type of terrain per piece."

10" is the limit on a size. Someone else can do the math and tell how small you can go on a circular terrain piect to fit in 64 square inches.

David A. Blizzard

If I remember enough from high school geometry, the maximum radius of a circle that yields an area of 64 square inches is about 4.5.

pi(r^2)=64
r^2=20.37
r=4.5

So you can go to a 9" diamater circle... which isn't much smaller than double the size of the standard terrain template.

Of course, even if you do that, your warlord still isn't obligated to allow it.
