I'm not sure what the problem is with the Frostgrave plastics, they are the most Mordheim like kits I've ever built. They're so good and so full of neat bits.

No problem - I just wanted to see if there were any other goon-recommended purchases for Mordheim builds before I pulled the trigger. I've added some dark ages stuff to the purchase as well - thanks goons for the recommendations!

Also in my city of Adelaide, which is near the centre of the eye, we had an earthquake this morning that woke me up, second in 9 days, and only the third one I can ever recall.

Irate Tree posted:I... wasn't aware Australia ever got earthquakes? o_O Everywhere on earth occasionally gets earthquakes. The entire planet is seismically active. Also eveywhere has the potential for very large quakes. They're more infrequent in some places than others, and in some areas they're so infrequent that the likelihood of experiencing one during one human lifetime is remote. But the odds are non-zero, everywhere.

Chill la Chill posted:Who does the studio art for frostgrave? I love their clean style which reminds me of 90s GW era minis but it's not quite the same. Can't put my finger on it. I just adore their colour choices. The miniatures look so soft, and I really want to replicate the effect but don't know how to do a pastel look like that.

Apparently one of Rowntree's first big corporate decisions was "if we're offering bundles, there actually should be a saving to justify buying the bundle". Gangs of Commorragh is like £80 of models for £35.

Where this goes wrong is that they're Dark Eldar, an army noone wants. The squad + transport bundles coming back is cool and good though.

They're going to have to do a lot to unfuck the reputation they've got over the last 20 years but if this train of good decisions keeps going they might be "ok" in a few years? I don't know really. Depends how all this

Yeah that's what I'm waiting to see. If it goes bad I'll likely take jcdent's advice and investigate the Northern Weasel Games ( or whatever the guy who made 5 men in normandy) as a replacement (I'm lying I'll check that out anyway). But it really depends what happens.

It's definitely wait and see territory, but they still make fundamentally bad games. If they take the mechanics of Age of Sigmar and apply them to 40k, it won't make 40k any better. They don't play test thoroughly enough and because of their preference for secrecy before launching a new list, they don't get the kind of open play testing that really helps make Mantic games balanced. Their new models are still ugly as sin and they put way too much emphasis on Space Marines because that's what sells, in the world's most obvious feedback loop. From what I've read of Firefight, which I still haven't managed to get a game of in yet, Mantic has the small scale scifi battle game down. And if I really wanted to use my old GW models, I'd just proxy a Firefight list. That said, if GW did a Gorkamorka or Necromunda relaunch, I'd buy them in a heartbeat, assuming the rules were either identical or reasonably modernized.

I would buy a GW worker placement game with servitors buzzing around cutting wheat or storing grain. Heck, make it like Stone Age since they absolutely ~need~ dice in there somewhere. Have Robutt be the chieftain first player marker.

Pretty much the same for me. However, in "GW is lovely again" news, holy gently caress look at this: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Deathworld-Forest This is a lovely thing they are attempting to sell, at a lovely price point. The ancient 3rd ed plastic jungle trees were better than that. That's just a massive pile of plastic

It might be cool if it didn't have so many specialised runey bits, weird sf forests are nic£80, what the hell? Welp. The sprues look half-empty by gw standards too. (it's me the person who really likes both the jungle trees and the current citadel wood and thinks they're legitimately cool-looking)

Also the current fantasy forests were actually kind of nice too - just over priced. But these things are - to my eyes - godawful. In less lovely news, 2 of my 3 sprues of frostgrave dudes have arrived (the barbarians and cultists - still waiting on the soldiers), and that one sprue of dark age beast whatever men who have shields and spears. Easy zealots. And these frostgrave sprues are really pretty. It's like the return of the empire free company, but at a reasonable price, and new and shiny, with almost the same degree of customisation (legs and torsos are a single piece on these sprues).

GW has always been terrible about terrain, all the way back when I started they sold 'GW trees' that were just the same brush-and-flock trees used by train/scale modellers, only repackaged at a 200% markup. Ok wait, credit where credit is due, the terrain they developed for Necromunda was legitimately good and interesting, and I which they had spent more time on that to produce a sholw shitload of card and plastic buildings.

And Dark Eldar probably aren't going to get squatted, even if it's not clear what state Comorragh is gonna end up in.
