WarmaHordes model representation in YAML

aurum_adeptus_syvestro.yaml

###
# This is a first draft on a final goal to have warmahordes models described
# in YAML files. The plan is that we can start with just a couple of fields
# and be able, with time, to represent the entire model in a file.

  # this would be the point to define more models

For damage grids, i think that . for empty boxes looks the best. We should also take into account the format for colossals. We could either structure them as an array of grids from left to right, or we could do a single grid with 12 elements starting left to right.
