I have two or three Linemen in my orc team. One of them is called (by me) Hero Lineman, because he has block. Meanwhile, #2 The Black Orc has yet to manage get Block, which pissess me off to no end.

This is the best loving play in Blood Bowl. It can't be beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFV3qabHSqg The play itself starts at around 3:30, but the sequence of events that leads to it is pretty funny too. Goblins.

Today I came to realization (while pooping) that I likely have enough Space Marines to give each legion a Minigeddon army. If only I could coax them out of their square bases and find line ones... and also find time for all that.

Nobody cares about the base shape, as long as it adheres to standards.

JcDent posted:Ease of painting, tho. Agreed, but, odds are, you're going to have to break the bases to get them out, you'll wind up snapping a few legs at the ankles (trust me on this), and you have to find (i.e. make, because you'll never find them at a reasonable price) bases. If you are going to go ahead anyway, a 1/4" hole punch works well on thin plastic card, cut to size. Then another piece (unpunched) or adhesive magnet sheet cut to size works for the bottom. I did this for my IG. It's very time consuming, but the bases look alright. Another alternative that I've seen people do is to take card or laser-cut wood to size, tape it in a stack, mark out your hole placement, then drill through the stack. I haven't done this, as I'm terrified that my stack will shift and I'll wind up ruining half the bases. People also use FOW bases or even washers for their Epic bases, though you have to build up the surface on them.

I know I'm getting old, but when I see a stand of 6mm models on the table from 2+ feet away, I pretty much see colored peg-like things on a stand. If you're able to apply a base color and wash to all the models, then gussy up the three you can get to, I think things will be A-OK.

That's kind of funny, given that the Heresy fluff was written to explain Titan Legions. Is there a Horus Heresy fan version of Shadow War Armageddon? I googled but didn't find anything too complete.

berzerkmonkey posted:Well, you have one guy doing the HH Epic models, and if you aren't in the know, you can't get the models. Plus, the way the community is, you have tons of people making and commenting on lists, but nobody bothers to actually get out and playtest. And I bet that guy is American! I dunno, you'd think the community would actually play the drat game...

If he's european, please inform me over PMs :P You'd think people be more excited about Epic HH, since its 1) HH on a good ruleset 2) HH on cheap 3) HH on small. Nerds are the worst.

Something about the Escher models turns me off. Not sure what. I'm a big fan of the originals though so maybe it's just that they aren't a perfect reproduction. Goliath dudes look cool though, like them a lot.

I think it's the painting style, same house style FW uses on the BB models and it looks a little garish for my taste. I'm just shocked the Escher girls look so good, I was dreading some Infinity-style cocktease nonsense but these two look pretty badass.

I'm not a fan of the new Eschers, honestly. The body proportions are cartoony and weird. They look kinda...mutated - but I guess that's kosher for Hive Gangers. And you're right, that paint job is doing them no favors. The poses are cool, though.

It doesn't suck at all. If you want Old Necromunda you can use the old rules with the new models, so it's still good even if the rules suck. And there is absolutely no reason to write the new rules off yet when we know next to nothing about them. Necromunda/SWA is a very good system, but it is also as old as gently caress and shows it. Personally I'm hoping for 'turnover' events like in Blood Bowl.

I'm happy to wait and see. I said a week or two ago that I either wanted it to be all new or all old, not a sloppy mix, and it looks like we're getting all new. The common criticism of SWA is that they're 20 year old rules parading around as a new product, so seeing them adapt the current 40k with considerations for the skirmish scale seem like a good idea to me.

Wizard Styles posted:So how poo poo is the current 40k then? Honestly I don't know. I've not played it. I've only played Firefight with people who have played it and they don't compare it favorably. One guy complained that his opponent in 40k exploited a rule blocking shooting into combat by having the models that weren't engaged form a conga line that could shield the rest of his army. I have no idea if this was just a shitlord taking advantage of a newbie or a real problem with the rules. But something like that, even if real, wouldn't be an issue in a game without units. So it's possible that whatever flaws 40k does have in its current form won't be present in Newcromunda.
