If anyone wants to make their own set of KoW tokens, I've finished the design. I'm not actually interested in selling them but if you have local access to a laser cutter or a Makerspace or something, here's the final artwork: And here is a link to the SVG file which you should be able to use with pretty much any cutter: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98893721/TokenArtwork_AllPaths.svg The art is all sized by mm, and the page is set up for a standard 12" x 12" sheet. All the embedded fonts and artwork are converted to paths so if you want to change fonts, kerning, whatever you can easily remove and replace them.

Daedleh posted:Is that speed on the Beast of Nature the +1 speed artefact? If so I'd think about swapping it onto the Hunters of the Wild. With Speed 7, they can charge enemy units up to 4" behind their deployment line in the first turn. Hunters of the Wild are more than capable of disrupting and shutting down shooting hordes so either your opponent keeps all their shooting units further back (giving you an advantage for scenario objectives) or deploys them close enough for you to shut them down before they get to shoot. Just the threat of a Speed 7 Vanguard unit can play merry havoc with your opponents deployment. Adding the (vicious and attacks=7 30pts) is nice chrome. I'll miss the Wild Companions. It seemed an interesting way to have a bunch of roman candles to call on. Improperly supervised fireworks in a forest army. Heh. The speed artefact is a tougher trade-off now that we're at 1500 on the dot. I really don't want to dump the ranged options I have left unless they're overkill.

Thanks for the info! I'm just now getting around to assembling my Dwarf stuff from the kickstarter, so I can hold off on the Steel Behemoth until Mantic releases their final version of it. If I don't like theirs, those links have some spiffy options. Also, is there a general consensus what's a better value when it comes to points: dwarf crossbows or rifles?

Anyone know what size the Dungeon Saga base sizes are and if they're not 20mm would rebasing them on 20mm bases make it a pain to actually use in Dungeon Saga? I'm thinking of grabbing it at some point and the Undead miniatures would make nice additions to my KoW guys.

Dungeon saga bases are 25mm and 50mm squares and no, rebasing them wouldn't be an issue as the game board itself still has the square grid on it

Cross-posting with the Warhammer thread because the Mantic thread needs some love too.Atlas Hugged posted:While you guys were reminiscing, I was out playing a good game. Today, a noble force of Elves took on an allied force of Kingdoms of Men and Dwarfs. My opponent had the clever idea to use some of his extra large trolls to fill in for some units to add to the flavor of his army. His ballista is represented by a single rock throwing troll and his Beast of War is proxied with two trolls in a line hurling rocks. The thing I really like about Kings of War is that Mantic has done a great job fostering a welcoming community that doesn't get hung up on what models you bring to the table so long as it's readily apparent what you have. There was a whole mix of ranges on the table and it makes for really personal armies. No one is going to field the same combination of units and figures as someone else.

I'm going to demo KoW at a con in october. I was thinking 1000 pts of my elves vs my ratkin and use a little bit of everything to showcase different special rules (TC, nimble, inspiring, magic) without using magic items. Gonna use all painted armies and nice terrain from our club on a cool battle mat I own. Gonna print out the rules and stats from easyarmy. Any tips or things I should consider?

Make sure you get a good balannce of blocking or height 2/3 terrain pieces on the board, so people don't accidentally assume gunlines are supreme/worthless

Blurry shot but those faces actually look... competent, which is a big boost for Mantic. I was iffy on Warpath before but I'm getting more and more positive about it.

Pretty much yes, except cheaper, and with actual women in the squads that also have regular combat uniforms instead of tactical heels or boobplate. Drone posted:Is that one of those awesome sharkpeople from Deadzone, but done up as a Warpath model? :o Same species, new sculpt! Her name is Adrienne Nikolovski and she's a named Rebs commander from the Deadzone Infestation KS project, but with parts swaps doubles as a regular Sphyr Lancer for the Rebs.

15k point game at Salute. They deployed at 9am and finished turn 7 at 5pm, but also stopped for lunch and for everyone to wander around salute for a while, so I'd guess a good 3 or more hours in breaks. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 09:59 on Apr 17, 2016 |

I believe breath attacks aren't considered 'normal' ranged attacks.

fnordcircle posted:I believe breath attacks aren't considered 'normal' ranged attacks. Well, that's what I was confused on. It's described as a breath attack that always hits on 4+ with a range of 12", but it still falls under the category of "ranged attack". Oh and I took a 1500 point list with the regenerating dragon in that report I posted a day ago. My friend was not particularly pleased by that.

Anyone play around with Salamanders yet? I'm limited by what models I have access to, but I think I'll be able to scrape together a 1500 point list (this is becoming the standard game size at my game shop for some reason).code:

I filled out the form, got an automated response on 16th January and received my missing pieces (some cards and dungeon critters) in the post about two weeks later. I'm in Australia, too. Yeah, I filled out the form and got a response very quickly. But then nothing about the shipping, I emailed them yesterday about it and got a response this morning that the stock they're sending me to replace the missing/broken stuff won't be in house until June.

The Deadzone 2 stuff is up for pre-order. £50 RRP for the new start, 5 Peacekeeper Pathhfinders, 5 Peacekeepers and 10 Forge Fathers plus terrain. Seems like there is less terrain in the box that the original which I think we all expected. I missed the Kickstarter but I believe the new edition moves to a 3' by 3' playmat, I'm guessing the new mat is paper rather than the mousemat material from the first ed. I quite like the differences with the 1st ed box, actually. Not too much crossover so both boxes give you the start on 3 factions and a good terrain mix. Edit: Hey, if I'm figuring this out right the Enforcers from 1st and 2nd edition starters make up the faction starter set. Neat!

My Dragon Tortoise is gonna be a fire-themed Beast of Nature. They're seriously my best friend right now. Being out in South East Asia, I'm limited to what my FLGS is willing to order in. The RPG players out here order individual Reaper stuff with enough frequency that the owner hits his minimum quota necessary to distribute the cost of shipping into his normal markup, but Mantic he's only really willing to put about one order in a year and god knows when the next of those is going to be. In the meantime, I'm raiding eBay and old plastic frames left in closets for a decade to put together my Salamanders. All things considered they're coming together alright. Oddly, all of the lizardmen I've ever gotten have come through South East Asia, even as a kid.

I'm coming up with a 2k list for a tournament I'm hoping to get to in July, 4 rounds swiss with Invade, Loot, Dominate, and Kill, so I need damage, speed, and staying power. This is what I have so far, mostly an expansion of the 1500pt list I got 3rd place with last year, with only one magic item deided on so far:quote:Ogres (Neutral) 1945 My idea is two independent, but close enough to mutually support maneuver teams of Goblins + Warriors + Boomers + ASB, with the Shooters + ASB sitting in the best firing spot to lay down wicked support fire, and the ASB is with them in case they get bum rushed, 9 dice hitting on a +3 with CS1 flanking whatever is charging the Shooters is not to be sneezed at. At 2k I'm fully expecting to see mass numbers of regiments and hordes, and a lot more flyers/high De troops across the table, so my positioning and maneuver game will have to be tight. Then, the two Giants and Mammoth are my fast moving, "Oh jeebas I have to ignore the shooters and go for them" force, but I'm concerned about leaving them without inspiring cover - my alternative here is to drop a giant or mammoth for a captain or warlord on chariot, which are less damaging ans less survivable, but, you know, inspiring.
