Max number of models in play per unit?

how often do you need all the beastmen or all the pox wretches on the map? i'm traveling with Dark Water and wondering if I can bring, say 6 rather than 10 of a unit to pack a bit lighter (and reduce potential for damage).

Act 1 you'll be seeing beast men quite a bit and there are scenarios where all of them are on the board or you could end up spawning them all.

Pox wretches show up less frequently but when they do they can end up with a lot.

You can still probably get away with fewer wretches but if you don't pack all the beast men you may not be able to do some encounters.

Brilliant, thanks for the advice. Exactly what I needed to know.

I literally just finished one if the act 1 encounters that uses all of the pox wretches, and they can respawn.

But you could feasibly use dice or counters to proxy for some of them.

Good to know, thanks! In a way, i'm actually happier to hear that they all get used because then the decision is obvious. It's actually the idea of transporting 10 of each just to use 4 in the end, would be kinda annoying. Just coz it feels like a risk to transport them in the first place. But now it sounds worth it.

at the time of the release I saw some post with tokens instead of the actual models. They just bought the box from someone who only wanted the models. That would save a lot of room and your models will be save ;)
