Just now listening to the Mantic North America podcast from last week, the first 45 minutes are Ronnie talking about Warpath. Really interesting. http://manticblog.com/2015/09/21/mantic-north-america-ep-6-i-like-the-way-you-work-it-no-yndijity/

One of my favourite Ronnie moments was getting a top secret seminar where we were repeatedly told not to talk about it in public. Then I did an interview with him for goons and he immediately blabs it all.

thegodofchuck posted:It was suggested to use the D&D Miniature "Caller in Darkness" for the currently mini-less Well of Souls, which I thought was a great start, but it looked awfully scrawny by itself, so I made something a bit more... soulful. If anyone is curious, this is how it turned out:     I used Agrellan Earth in the area the Well of Souls has crossed over and is close to to represent it leeching the life from even plants and the earth, and just a little bit of greenery on the edge that is just out of its immediate range. I was going to use some Lustrian Undergrowth, but the brand new pot I bought was completely dried out, shockingly. There is also a Skellie bit that was absorbed, my Chestnut Ink turned it a very gory sort of red, which looks raw and fresh, which is a bit over the top, and not my original intention, but I kind of like it in an 80s horror flick sort of way. I also tried to do a little drybrushing near the bottom with some Rhulic Gold to be some lifeleeching magicky stuff. Not awesome or anything but looks better than plain black imo.

Has anyone played Mars Attacks and is it any good? I love the Mars Attacks franchise and I'm tempted to grab it for a pretty self-contained tabletop game to play with a friend or two.

Also, re: the lore discussion last page or two: One of the three books in the KS is a lore book, so that should fill out the setting more! I'm definitely hoping Asterians are next in the KS; I really like their designs and would love to get them in hard plastic. GCPS are neat, but I don't really need them. Not that I'll be getting every faction anyway, especially in the KS.

Have we seen any examples of Asterian vehicles? Their infantry-sized models leave me a little cold but if their vehicles get real weird with it (Protoss-like, in a sense) I think I'd be interested in them.

There's concept art for one somewhere in this thread. It did give me a vaguely Protoss vibe!

I'm digging the vehicle art, even if I have to squint to see it. That flying board looks doofy though. Nothing a little remodeling can't fix, I suppose. I am really liking this render though, it's got a suitably alien look to it. I'm a sucker for single-eyed robot heads ala Grey Fox.

Yeah, those new droids are absolutely fantastic looking. For me, the heads harken back to both Shockwave and several 2007 Movie Toyline Transformers. That's very much a good thing. But what colors to paint them!? EDIT: RBH, those are Kalyshi. They were in the DZI KS, made of metal. They're basically your space wood elf equivalent, fighting with melee weapons and bows that're actually very high tech--energy fields and the like. They look very nice IMO. EDIT2 Basically the Kalyshi take the Asterian Balance thing in a more down-to-the-woods and agressive direction. Feeling that their race is too dependent on technology, they live and fight more like their ancestors, albeit with high tech incorporated into their stuff. That's what I remember from DZI, anyway. They're neat and the minis look GREAT. Esser-Z fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Sep 28, 2015 |

What's this then? quote:To the Kalyshi balance is the key element to existence; if there is calm, elsewhere there must be fury, where life exists there must also be death. The Kalyshi have seen the restrained approach their kin have taken to the human race and rejected it. The Kalyshi recognise the Asterian predilection for peace, and concluded that it is they who must be the war to achieve the universal balance.

It's a great day. This hasn't been posted here yetquote:The regional voting for which game system Masters will use for the upcoming season January 2016 through December 2016, culminating in the championship in February 2017 has closed. The decisive winner was Kings of War by a regional vote of 7-1, with the one vote against a very close one within their own region. Although I would have been happy to press forward with whatever game system the Regions came to a consensus on, I most glad that it was such an overwhelming vote for a single system. Keeping this national community of gamers united is good for everybody, providing choice and community for gamers, helping bolster attendance in a time of unprecedented transition for TO's, it's win-win all the way around.

Hm. Maybe I'll use Animated Shockwave's blue-grey for my Asterians. Can't do G1 Shockwave, because my Enforcers are already purple and much as I love purple, I'd rather not do more than one faction in the same colors. I dunno. They migh tlook good with something brighter...

I did not think I could get this pumped for space elfs. And I'm not sure if it's intended as satire, but using drone warfare as an example of elven arrogance is spot on.

I upped my pledge as well. Asterians vs Enforcers is going to be a rad painting project, hopefully I'll find someone to play with in the GTA. I wish they were running this KS a little better. Failing to update, putting the SGs below the description (although that might be a problem with the way KS is designed) and not really sketching out the goals ahead strikes me as the opposite of the cool Bones 3 KS. I know they need to adjust SGs on the fly and respond to how the KS is going, but it seems like they could hint at things to keep people excited. Just don't set it to like, six or seven goals ahead - I think Bones did that, then had to compress the goals because things stalled out.

But they've been doing just that. They've been hinting or outright stating the next stretch goal before they finish the current one. Plus the veermin tank has been being teased since the first day and we're only on it now. I guess the only other thing I'd want them to do is to explicitly state the asterian vehicle is up after the battlegroup is unlocked.

I wish that you could choose which two factions you got for the two player one. Enforcers are really boring and aren't going to persuade any of my friends to play.

So if they do one of those like, mega deals that are rumored, can you do that through the PM later or are those usually exclusive to the KS phase?Taear posted:I wish that you could choose which two factions you got for the two player one. Enforcers are really boring and aren't going to persuade any of my friends to play. I really like the Enforcers but I can see how kinda generic tacticool isn't doing it for you. I feel like we shouldn't like every army, though, that way they're far enough apart everyone can like something.

I think the Space Dwarfs and Space Skaven would be fine and both look pretty decent unpainted, since they'll never ever be painted. Enforcers on the other hand are drab without paint.

Everything can be done through the pledge manager phase. The only time that hasn't been true is when they've done a time locked deal, but that's not going to happen for Warpath.
