How to model wagon laager as TF? Asked by Phil Gates, 22 February 2023

I have a question for the hive mind.

When your baggage is allowed a Wagon Laager as TF for protection, how do you model that wagon laager and how do you base it?

  You base it using the Rule of Cool, what looks best!

  You have the area of your baggage plus half a base width extra around the edge for the TF. ('Half' is not fixed but I think most people make TF that wide.) Thus, 6 baggage with 7 TF gives you area of 4 x 2.5 base widths on which to build your model. (Most people treat TF corners the same as PF corners; i.e. not paid for and cannot be attacked but normally allowed for modelling purposes.) How you then model it is up to you but you can make it as one piece (not 13 pieces). Hope that helps. (And see what others say.)

  You could do something like this if you don’t mind the TF being fixed and working around that in the game. One big base is easier to transport and stronger

  I have some wagons on 40x40 bases (orginally intended to be baggage) that I use as TF, but you could use a smaller depth.

  Not a “regular” wagon laager, but I’ve got Essex’s mantlet-wagons on 40x30mm bases.
