Longer Dwarven pikes - Vault Wardens.

[LittleDwarf]

Is it possible, from technical point of view, to make dwarven pikes longer without any gameplay/animation problems? Cause when i looked at the Vault Varden figures for tabletop i realized that if the Dwarven pikes were longer, it would be possible to place them behind, let's say, dragonslayers, and they could still attack. That would make something like real Vault Warden Team unit, with big shield guys in the front and back pike guys. Actuallly, then there could be made even another unit, Vault Warden Shieldbearer, with very weak attack and powerful defence, while Vault Wardens Pikemen defence should be lowered, thus creating the feel of original GW design Vault Varden Team ; Shield+Spear guy = power, alone they would be weak.

The a.i is unable to use such a shield and pike team together, thus a unit would be created that could only be used effectively by the player.

Is it possible to combine this 2 units to 1 with main weapon pike (shield at back) and secondary weapon sword with shield. The first line fights with sword and shield and the other lines with pikes, like archers in guard mode shooting and fighting the same time?

That would be cool!!!!!

Hm, I know that the A.I would be impossible to use it, but think about multiplayer.

EDIT:

It isn't even necessary to combine them to one unit, just make pikes longer and make the shield-guy unit with very low attack and high defence. They could be used just fine by player in multiplayer games.

No, wont work. Besides the mod is not based on Games Workshop's products so dont have to follow it even if that is where the inspiration was taken from.

I like the idea, of a high defense shield unit to mix with the pikes, very good thought

Yeah, i also liked it (if i wouldn't, i wouldn't ask) but as you see : it's not going to work. You can close this thread. Thanks for answer.
