Does anyone have suggestions for Khemri Tomb Guardian Blood Bowl figs? I like the Reaper golems, but the other Khemri player here uses them.

Hero quest mummies! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Milton-Bradley-Hero-Quest-Game-Parts-Mummies-Figures-/390966432502?pt=Games_US&hash=item5b076a52f6 ...OK, in all seriousness though, Reaper has a bunch of not-Tomb-Kings models they sell with the keywords "Egyptian" or "Nefsokar" http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Egyptian/sku-down Some of them are Bones, which are pretty inexpensive, for example the three-pack of mummies: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/egyptian/sku-down/77144

The Willys are nice, but more than I want to spend. They have some cool statue/avatar figs in that Reaper line. I'll likely head that way.

Greyish Orange posted:Got them all sorted out anyway thanks to your help One of you Dominator class cruisers has dorsal lance turrets -- It's an Overlord class battlecruiser. Has anyone every played BFG with the move-move-shoot-shoot sequence the rulebook suggests at the end? It seems like it would make the game better and make Eldar... less broken. And I don't mean too-good broken, I mean one dominant tactic broken.

Kore_Fero posted:You got a really great deal. You could probably flip just two of the larger ships on ebay to get your money back. Yeah, this is no joke. As much as I love BFG, I've been offloading my fairly huge six fleet collection on eBay because the prices are ludicrous. Imperial Navy battleships like those can grab $100+ per model.

Well the demographic in my area is a whole ton of people trying to cash out of BFG by selling their poo poo at an insane price, but no-one locally seems to be buying and the dudes aren't moving on their price, so as a result it's pretty much strangled any hope of BFG having even a small resurgence. I know there's at least one club but it's just a bunch of really, really established dudes with all the toys. Plus with Star Wars Armada on the very near horizon, I don't think that paying over $100 for a battleship is sustainable.

Why don't people play BFG with Firestorm Armada ships? I think they look awesome and if there's scale issues, well BFG isn't to scale anyway.

This is what I do but speaking from experience a LOT of guys are really attached to the style of the BFG ships which really hasn't been well replicated by another company on a large scale. They've moved away from it now but the initial run of FSA ships were made to be 100% in scale with BFG much like how the Uncharted Seas stuff was almost 1:1 with Manowar.

I thought FSA and UC were always larger than GW's stuff? Speaking for myself, I don't mind the FSA stuff, but if I'm playing BFG, I want to use BFG ships. GW stuff has a certain aesthetic that I like and if I'm substituting another IP, it takes me out of the feel of the game. It's the same reason I don't want to use "Greek Spacemen!" to sub for Space Marines. I like the look of the originals and I would rather not play than use something that I feel would remove me from the game world. ineptmule posted:Why don't people play BFG with Firestorm Armada ships?

That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that but of course it makes sense. Having never played BFG or read the rules or anything, I don't know to what extent 40k grimdark permeates the game, but I can see that clean-lined Dindrenzi ships etc. don't really fit that atmosphere. Edit: I never really got into the obsessively baroque ships in BFG. They're supposed to be many kilometres long, I think? The minis just looked like really bumpy squat little things to me. I think I'd have got into the look if they were, say, 50% larger to allow a bit more detail. Squibsy fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Nov 14, 2014 |

To me, half the appeal is the visual style of the Imperium fleet, with their boxy bodies, gothic superstructures and massive armored prows. It'd be like playing a Star Trek or Star Wars mini game using only the rules and different minis. Sure the rules (might) be good and stuff, but since I associate them strongly with the setting, it wouldn't "feel" right. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Nov 14, 2014 |

The aesthetic of 40k is one of my favorite things about it, and why 99% of "not-40k" models fall completely flat for me. Victoria Lamb is pretty much the only person who gets it right as far as I'm concerned.

That said, them ships! I love them. And visual style is one of the reasons why it's so hard to proxy 40K right. Sure, you can get with pretty much anything in the Guard (and actual anything if you get lasguns or quality not!lasguns), but it doesn't really work well with the other factions. Dreamforge please! Also, the OP might need some updates, what with GW having ditched the specialist games, many of the links don't work anymore.

3d printing would produce a lot more ships, but wouldn't make GW any money so they're not interested. I think a lot of the OP is forever lost after they pulled any and all mentions of "legacy" games from their website a few months ago.

I guess I'm going with the tired old spiel that widespread 3D printing is going to kill GW, yadda yadda yadda. And yeah, any and all links to can now be replaced with "find PDF online". A shame, I wanted to read about Gorka Morka a little. By the way, what's the local opinion on Inquisimunda? I've only ever read the rules and I don't like it at all.

I know there's at least one club but it's just a bunch of really, really established dudes with all the toys. All I can really speak to is the online market, but I've been selling literally thousands of dollars of tiny toy ships over the last six or so months and the demand is there. It's not quite as insane as it was right after GW started pulling models from their site, but if you're patient you'll always find someone willing to buy. The plastic ships are probably the exception, but the fact that you can sometimes get near retail prices for them is still pretty nuts. The funny thing is that BFG stuff used to be cheap. I bought almost everything I owned on eBay and I doubt my average amount paid per model was ever above 15% retail. Anyway, throw me in as another person who thinks the style of the models is a huge part of BFG's appeal. They're far and away my favorite sci-fi miniatures, and actually selling them off has been a pretty hard decision. I have a few FSA models around, but I can't see myself ever using them to play BFG.

The excellent online resource YakTribe has a collected 'vault' of resources for Necromunda, GorkaMorka and Mordheim, including original rulebooks and loads of extra bits and pieces. It's basically Yakromunda version 2, if any of you old hands remember that. There is also a gang/campaign management tool for Necromunda, with versions for GoMo and Mordheim coming soon. Finally, the forum has a pretty great community of Necromunda players and a (slowly) growing community for the other games. I definitely think something about YakTribe should go in the OP.

GorkaMorka should definitely be more popular. If you have Boyz and some Buggies, you can play it (and you should play it). Unlike most other specialist games. (on a semi related topic: Heralds of Ruin have the best Kill Team rules and anybody who says otherwise is a tiny commie mutant traitor). Some spergin' aside: how do people deal with models in Campaigns getting new gear not shown on the model? Magnets? Being swell enough people not to care about poo poo like that not appearing on the model?

Yeah, a few years back I was able to build a whole gang out of half a box of Boyz, a few spare bitz from a friend, and a few creatively used model parts/bits/old gift cards. GorkaMorka is the best because it encourages you to do such things.  Never did paint it.

I've only ever encountered one game where people are assholes (and it's written into the rules) that every model must be modeled with its exact equipment: and that's Warhammer 40k. It's ridiculous and you can always spot the people who have been abused by it when they ask these sorts of questions. You can play tabletop miniature wargames using anything you want to represent the things in the game. The only impediments are your own sense of verisimilitude and your opponent's desire to be a dick about it.

In an extended campaign of GoMo, I usually build a few extra dudes with different gear, and then I basically use the models available as a guide to what to buy! Similarly for Necromunda, I mostly have all the models from the gangs I'm playing, and swap them around as people develop, get injured or whatever. GoMo is a bit different to Necromunda in that you can get kustom guns and crazy Orky bionics that, aside from anything else, really deserve to be seen on the model because they are  . Usually then I try to model the bionics onto my guys. This probably all sounds expensive, and it is. The thing is I don't really play the big Warhammer games anymore so all my hobby budget (money and time) goes on my Spesh Games gangs.

Yeah, specialists are rad, wish I had known that before I started getting doods for regular 40K (and dropping it after some of the new rulebooks) I thought that your character could get an indefinite number of Guns in Necromunda (and 2 in GoMo), as well as changing them, so I considered it to be a bit of mess... and my sense of verisimilitude kicks in. Probably because more than anything, what attracts me to TT gaming is how cool everything looks like... when it's painted and presented on tables that border art pieces. I guess it would be possible to magnetize guns and bionics... and I guess butt replacements are an option, right? Magnetized ork butts? Hopefully, Mordheim videogame won't suck and I won't have to worry about stuff like that.

I think it's absolutely ripe for a miniatures company to produce a set of base gangers, equipment and weapons specifically designed to be magnetized and changeable throughout a campaign, but it sounds like it'd be complicated and expensive. I bought a box of the new Warhammer storm troopers with the intent of doing this, as they've got hundreds of options, but haven't got around to it yet. Edit: tempestuous scionsbox set. Check out those sprues! More than enough for a full gangs possible equipment in one box, but it's £25 for five models. The Supreme Court fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Nov 16, 2014 |

Well, those easy assemble 3-part (or how many exactly, don't remember) Marines wouldn't be too hard to magneticize, and most Marine firearms are big enough for magnets, so that would be a solution. Unless you really like dynamic poses. You can also have one magnet on the back, for additional weapons, but that's probably hard to make if you want capes and stuff, like with the Dark Vengeance cultists.
