If you're talking about the same one I'm thinking of, the tournament was dated before it was posted here.

I'll try asking my friends if they noticed but they were probably having too much fun playing in the 4 x-wing tournaments held over the weekend to notice.

I thought AoS wasn't supposed to have codexes, but this "Battletome" appears to be one? 1000 copies of the LE, guys, better pre-order cos I don't see the AoS original LE anywhere on the site. Probably will sell fast.

Probably will sell fast. Yeah right, as if GW would resist the opportunity to release a 70 dollar book. They'll release the scrolls or whatever for the minis separately, but they will continue to release expensive "battletomes", with the only change that they'll now just consist of fluff, pictures of miniatures, and special bonus formations that you need to buy the army book to use. Foly hucking spitballs, the limited edition version is 140 bucks. Don't miss hits like:  Mystical knowledge reserved to the limited edition, such as:  And lavish insights into what hides behind the solemn death masks, as well as the contents of GW's soul:  Stay tuned for the Stormfront Battletome lilljonas fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Sep 7, 2015 |

Every limited edition battledumb will be available free, online, thanks to communism Which is why before every AoS game you must demand to see your opponents limited edition battledumb to verify they are playing a legaly dumb army

Mugaaz posted:Second vote for both Infinity and Warmahordes. I would add Deadzone to scifi skirmish. Not only is it a great game with some pretty nice minis (including DORF TERMIES and upcoming SPACE SKAVEN, to use 40k terms), the terrain is fantastic for basically any other scifi game. Other minis include dogs with chainsaw mouths and bombs strapped to them, teleporting dinosaurs, and a dwarf mercenary in power armor with big platfoom boots so that he stands at human height. Oh, and another power armor dwarf character that can literally do a Dawn of War style deep strike, complete with throwing surrounding models around--potentially off ledges to their doom! Also the human power armor people actually look like they can MOVE properly, have cool jetpacks, are mixed gender explicitly, and are still PEOPLE despite being power armor supersoldiers! The game itself has a neat mechanic where you have a deck of objective cards. You each draw one openly to determine deployment zones and who deploys/goes first, then you draw a second one to keep hidden. THAT card tells you your objectives--kill dudes, recover stuff, control areas, infiltrate off the enemy's board edge, etc. The result is a bluff-double bluff where you and the opponent are trying to complete your goal without revealing it, while trying to figure out the other player's so you can foil it! It's a really good game. Esser-Z fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Sep 7, 2015 |

Mantic are cool, once they've got a decent range with everything up to their current top quality I'll sink in, I'd try out their football thing if it was more of a straight Blood Bowl port. Blood Bowl is probably the only thing I'd buy off of GW if they released it again. Age of Sigmar tanked so hard I went from potentially enthused to play Fantasy to actually sort of hating even my beloved 40k lore because of how it looks in the baleful light shone by Sigmar's radiance.

Phoon posted:Dreadball is way better than blood bowl Yeah it's a different game but it works a lot better- it's got more flow, less cageball which is a lot more fun imo than super blockfests. It's sad though that the bashy teams they made in the first season kinda suck because bash ain't enough in this game.

I rather want to try Dreadball, but I only have so much time and space and money. I'm not even close to finishing painting my DZ stuff, and that's BEFORE Infestation arrives.

Funny you guys just started talking about Dreadball - I nearly just bought it with the 'LABOR15" discount code on the Mantic site. It's good until Wednesday and with 15% and free shipping a copy of Dreadball is only £42.50 rather than £50

I'd love to play a minis sports game, but I hate football and rugby. Now, if someone were to make a hockey game, i'd probably go broke buying everything available for it.

Blood Bowl is a game about managing risk and is based around hugely swingy mechanics and a dubious approach to balance, both for one off games and leagues. Dreadball is quite different in approach and for me is far less frustrating to play.

And given how terrible Mantic's website is (I keep getting timeouts right now), you know they're catching up to GW in terms of support*. * likely for less than $8 million.
