Speaking of Blood Bowl, I have a game on Thursday with one of my Necro mates. It's a practice game for him as he's taking his Khorne Daemons team to a Tournament soon, so I'm not hugely concerned about winning, but I want to be competitive. I'm using my Dark Elves because the team I kitbashed a while ago doesn't get much attention. The rules are that you have 1,200,000 GP to recruit your team and buy re-rolls etc., and you can then select a 'package' of skills. I am thinking either of the following: - 7 normal skills distributed among the team, no player can have more than 1 - 6 normal skills, 1 player can have up to 2 of them But I don't know what skills to choose! My lineup: - 4 Blitzers - 2 Witch Elves - 1 Assassin - 2 Runners - 3 Linesmen Any help would be appreciated!

You could be a dick and load up on the blodge and just frustrate the poor sod, though he'll actually have some block and tackle if he can pre-buy some skills. Alternatively design yourself a team built around killing his thirster. Killing a thirster is always fun times.

That lineup only gives you 2 Re-Rolls. 1 if you take an Apothecary. Either way, you'll want Leader on one of the Runners. The easy & competitive choice for the other 6 skills would be Wrestle on the Witches (long-range ball-popping against a Block-having ball-carrier -and it adds some defense for the Witch) and Dodge on all the Blitzers. If you wanted to game against his team specifically, you could put Side Step on the Witches and watch him sweat over deciding whether or not to risk throwing a Frenzy block against them. Is his Daemon team the same as the one in the Cyanide video game or is he using something like this? goatface posted:Alternatively design yourself a team built around killing his thirster. Killing a thirster is always fun times. Dark Elves don't have access to claw. Or strength. Dirty Player is an option I suppose. A bad one.

I would drop the second runner for a third re-roll, an Apo or a spare linesmen. (A rookie linesman is a better thrower than a rookie runner because of the higher armor.) Assassin - Leap Runner - Leader (if you have 2 TRR) Blitzer - Tackle, Strip Ball, Side Step, wildcard Witch - Block, Dauntless Leap on the Assassin can give you a cage breaker, though it is of limited use on high armour teams. I am assuming this is a resurrection tournament, the point is to win the game not to survive it. As long as you have three elves, you can score.

Yeah it's a Rez tourney. I wanted to build a fairly rounded team rather than one specifically to face the Khorne bros as it's a practice match for him and not me, I get no benefit from winning. Other than getting trash talk rights in the future. I'm obviously going to play my best (which is not very good.) Considering the Khorne bros are quite slow I thought it might be quite fun to have the assassin as a shadowing/diving tackle guy to try and cause some turnovers. Then to have one Witch Elf with Block and one with Wrestle. I thought Wrestle on one of the Linesmen, and then dodge on all my blitzers. It's a bit dull but I don't think this free skills system is very good. I much prefer a proper league. I might can one of the runners. It's true they are a bit poo poo with no skills but dump-off is quite fun to play around with. I hadn't even thought about getting an apothecary but I kind of thought it wasn't so important in a league where players Rez and heal after each game, but I guess being able to refill my turn 1 dead witch elf would be good.

It is a weird skill package setup, without a limit of how many of a skill you can take. However it makes more than just the tier one teams competitive. It really depends on how Apos work during the tournament. If the Apo is guaranteed to work it can be an ok pick up for a finesse team, or if you have a key player on your team. If they work like normal, I would take a pass.

Evil Twin Artworks (http://eviltwinartworks.com/evil-twin-game-development/evil-twin-games/) Well technically they have made a game before. Seems like a legit place to sell an IP to. Also unlike Regicide the Chess Game at least this company has made 1 other real game and 2 app games. (http://www.warhammer40kregicide.com/) When I googled Hammerfall Publishing this is the only description of the company I found, as well as the only history they have online. quote:"Hammerfall Publishing is a developer of high quality games for PC and mobile platforms. Our current project Warhammer 40,000: Chess - Regicide is in development. Please check it out!" Of course GW Also gave their IP to the guys who made Ride to Hell: Retribution, after the company released that game. quote:2011 NASCAR The Game: 2011 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii) So basically what I'm saying is "good luck on your game GW!!!"

GW is obviously selling rights to no-name companies who are willing to sign away most of their stake in the game for a chance at producing something with name recognition that might hit it big. Unlike most properties, GW could give zero shits about the final product, as it can only make them some money for no effort on their part. It's not going to hurt their product line if the game fails, because the game isn't tied to an existing product!Doctor Borris posted:Also unlike Regicide the Chess Game at least this company has made 1 other real game and 2 app games. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Sep 2, 2015 |

PS game? No. I did play the PC games, and I liked them enough, but I'm a minority in that regard, so it seems. Regicide, at least by my somewhat trustworthy buds, looks like it's going to be good or at least not bad. Unlike Warhammer Quest or Storm of Vengeance. The Space Wolf game is OK enough, but maybe it starts fleecing you more as you play longer, dunno. I hate StreumOn, so I'm already against Deathwing, and Deathwatch: Nids being produced by Warhammer Quest guys, so, again, its a reskin of their previous game I have some hopes for Eternal Crusade and an eventual F2P ork goon grief clan.

Space Hulk: 62 Space Hulk Ascension: 72 / 7.1 user New Space Hulk Game so Far: 58 http://www.metacritic.com/search/all/space%20hulk/results The original space hulk looked and played terrible. Check it out on Youtube. From what I can tell it was marginally improved by Ascension, also by the same company. Both games sell for way more then they should on Steam, because it turns out GW loves money.

If you're making 40K XCom, you're not making 40K Space Hulk, since Space Hulk implies some fairly specific gameplay. And yes, I'd like Space Hulk a lot more if it was nothing like it (save for "you play Space Marines"), but as a Space Hulk game it was Space Hulk like I imagined it. Space Hulk.

They made 40k XCOM, it was called Chaos Gate and it had a great soundtrack I downloaded off Kazaa back in the day. It was ominous Latin chanting before that was super played out in bideojames. I was also a big fan of the 1:1 ports GW did back in the day.

Space Hulk was a straight up translation of the board game into digital format (including the campaign) which is precisely what the developers intended to make. It had the following issues: It was literally the boardgame while most gamers were expecting a modernised adaptation that was first and foremost a PC (YMMV) game with modern game mechanics. The game was over priced. It launched as a full priced title around 30 quid which was too drat much. I bought on sale for under a tenner and was happy at that price point. It was not a AAA release with fancy artwork and lots of features. It is made in Unity engine to run on everything including tablets. The game launched buggy as hell by all accounts. By the time I bought it things had been patched up and it was fine, which is no consolation if you bought it at launch for too drat much. Graphics. Personally I think it looks OK but that by no means suggests that its graphics are a selling point or anything to get excited about. It conveys the action and theme adequately but that's about it. Now, the sequel Space Hulk Ascension. This one was designed to go beyond the boardgame and introduces it's own mechanics, new genestealer variants, an all new campaign and character progression. The graphics are improved although modestly. It is a better game which I again bought on sale and probably would have been a bit disappointed with had I paid the full asking price. Ascension is what a lot of people expected the first game to be like. It is however still not a lavish Triple-A production with next gen graphics. It is a substantial upgrade of the last one. I like it and the attempt to put a new twist on Space Hulk, but not everyone will. If you see it on sale I would say give it a try.

I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, but I played through Fire Warriors a year or two ago and it wasn't... horrible. It wasn't what I'd call good, but it was that kind of schlocky "rent it and beat it in a weekend" game they haven't really done much since the PS2 era. For the five bucks or so it was pretty enjoyable.
