Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:what do you mean area movement? like squares or hexes? if so you might check out dust tactics Bistromatic posted:No idea about their exact scale butthe Conan boardgame and Mythic Battles both use area movement and are pretty cool from the demo games i played. I can ask a friend about the scale if youre interested. Leperflesh posted:Yeah I hesitated to mention the conan boardgame. It's area movement skirmish, but it uses boards, not terrain on a tabletop. I mean, you could make terrain on a tabletop and define some areas and make your own scenario and play it I guess, but that's putting a lot of work on you. Yes, sorry, was indeed talking about stuff like Conan (or Bonaparte at Marengo), but done with normal miniature wargame terrain rather than as pre-printed boardgames. Guess it hasn't been done? Irate Tree posted:This guy's converted Imperial Grot army is loving amazing and adorable. That's the kind of poo poo GW should be encouraging. People actually engaging with the setting rather than just the rules. There's a reason Bandai Namco (IIRC) calls themselves a character licencor rather than an animation and games producer. Have an of the rules previews mentioned anything about making it easier for players to ~forge~ their narratives? IG doctrines, Chapter traits, Tyranid mutations, Vehicle construction rules... Actually, heck, have they said yet how army construction is going to work at all? Edit: I guess "Open play is the most flexible, and easiest to get started with, allowing you to use any miniatures you like." sounds pretty flexible... Edit 2: just noticed the "Explore the Factions" page lists Craftworlds, Harlequins, Dark Eldar and the, uh, Ynnari as separate factions. Surely they wouldn't do that if they were planning on consolidating them? PoontifexMacksimus fucked around with this message at 13:17 on May 7, 2017 |

You missed the point entirely. Warhammer (which I should have specified to be 40k) isn't just played as a tournement game. Narrative games and campaigns are extremely popular, and are this most common way to play in an organized format. In these formats, it places more emphasis on fun then wining, and the tiers lists mostly disappear. Not everyone hounds Tournement reporters for lists so they can try them on Saturday. It sad that Warmahoards fosters such a system.

You could literally smear poop on a book and it'd be a good rulebook for the "forge the narrative" crowd.

I flipped through the Osprey Ronin ruleset and it had rolling for turn priority, the same thing AOS has but written in 2013.  Guess I'll have to see if test of honour is any better.

It's not like you get two whole turns in a row without a player responding to you. It's really not that big of a deal.

Yeah rolling for initiative with alternating activations is fine. That mechanic is even a key part of Guild Ball's momentum mechanic.

Have you found the morale rules to be good? I'm looking at the leadership scores and modifiers and it looks like it's fast and brutal and leads to routing massacres, which it should, but suffering an unlucky critical to get to wavering seems to be easy and the morale rolls are harsh.

I haven't played it. I've just played Test of Honour which is very "light". We intend to play Ronin in the near future, but we intend to play a lot of games.

So my friend and I were at our local game store for warmachine tonight. As we are setting up our game some guy walks up to us and asks what we are playing. This is a fairly common occurrence so we think nothing of it and give him a brief run down. He says he plays 40k and then for some reason starts getting into technical terms about the size of our game (rather than talking just like skirmish or something hes trying to get into like if its a platoon or whatever). This sprawls into him talking about military organizations and such. We mostly ignore him and continue setting up. Out of no where and with no provocation he suddenly calls Native Americans savages (although he tried to deflect this comment by saying he does not view them that way but that's how they were viewed at the time...) before starting to talk about the right of conquest making things okay... My friend just basically turned to him and said, you can go now, and the guy eventually leaves. I turned to my friend and said that I was pretty sure we were like a couple minutes from this random guy saying that Hitler did nothing wrong... Anyway, it was an odd day at the game store, thought the death thread should know. I'm really glad the random guy doing an ethnography for his highschool on our group was not there for that conversation...

Ok I haven't been paying attention, did they seriously reverse the shopping cart thing finally? Meeplemart slowly put up like a thousand warhammer products on their webstore. And man, these prices are bad. Mostly. Is Burning of Prospero out of print?

Historicals are really bad for this. At one game some friends were at, there was a guy in a scooter that targeted a Chinese character because "I hate Chinamen." And then there was the Legends of the Old West game I played in - "Let's shoot some redskins!" Seriously, guys? Its two thousand loving seventeen.

On the other hand I had a pickup game of Not-40k with a cool asian-american dude who had a lovingly converted Shinto themed White Scars army. He got to use them in a game that didn't take 6 hours to play and he really liked it. But yeah gently caress most historicals. I've never had outright racism (and I live in Florida!) but the amount of Wehraboos that were steaming at my brother's neon-pink German army was hilarious.

Does your bro have a colorful Stug too? The one sad thing about world of tanks was not having a crossover with GUP. At least they had that for world of warships so you can play with colorful cruisers and destroyers and cause all sorts of rage.

Yeah after getting the starter box, my friend and I realized that just like Descent, it's just a testing platform for a future L5R game which we'd rather play instead. The game is still better than AOS so i don't know what you're on about

Cost. Considering that, from what I've heard, it takes two base boxes to make "playable" units for the game, you're looking at a similar army cost to AoS/WFB. Also, I didn't mention AoS, so there was no need to bring it up.
