I'm gonna get the models, paint them all up in my 40k army colors to use as cultists, and fall into playing necromunda with them anyway

I worry about the addition of cards, that always makes me nervous. And other companies sell books when custom dice are necessary, you either package them together or sell them both separately. But clearly they want to push the box. Maybe they think if enough people invest in the box, it will increase the longevity of the game. Inches as the measuring mechanic on a board raises an eyebrow, but it also means that it won't be as hard to get people to go from 2D to 3D and they won't have to write mechanics more than once. So as far as streamlining design goes, that's probably the right call since I think most people are going to want to do 3D anyway.

Ilor posted:It's been forever since I played physical BloodBowl - how does it work in the new edition if you don't have the cards?  The cards are a completely optional add-on and aren't required in any way. The old edition had them too, but they were buried in the rulebook and you had to make them yourself.

They'll have to eventually sell the rulebook separately but it sucks that they're going to make us wait for that... I'm not a huge fan of either Goliaths or Eschers and so I'm probably gonna end up with at least one gang I can't sell off after my group gets into this.

I would expect a standalone consolidated and updated rulebook after a year. At a guess.

Well they certainly haven't gone that way with Blood Bowl, but then again you kind of have to have the board and tokens to play. It's really just guys like me that have an old board and wanted the updated rules. Probably not enough of us to matter.

I know it’s been forever but how long was it before Necromunda had a stand-alone book back in the day? I only knew people that had the box set from the get go.

Yaktribe still had the LRB as of a few months ago, it's probably all you need for retromunda. Cults are going to be dope. GSC appeared in an issue of Citadel Journal and it was broken garbage, it'll be nice to see what they do with them today.

So if I wanted to play Battle Companies without resorting to files, I'd need to get the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey rulebook, the Fallen Realms book for... abilities (unexpected journey has stats for all the units, but not full profiles) and the Battle Companies book. Oh, and some Uruks, evil men, etc.

Just see if you can get the previous edition for cheap on eBay or something. The new game is basically identical from what I understand, and the LotR game was really good if you didn't get into silly model counts.

Unless GW does a GW and the premade starter warbands - which I guess are mandatory - really make it impossible, I'm looking forward to spending 20eu per army. All those sexy Easterlings, Khandish, Uruks, ooooh boy. My friend has bought Arnor because he thinks they're pretty, so he's going to have the most heroic Arnorians to have ever lived.

I just picked up the Shadespire Orcs last night, and they look really fantastic. I am intrigued enough with the cards that I am going to have to pick up the base game soon. How have peoples experiences been so far? I One of the guys at the game store said someone played like 7 games in under two hours. Hell yeah, sign me up.

I'm loving the game, played a 4-player game with all the warbands yesterday and we had a blast.

How have peoples experiences been so far? I The game plays real good! It's short and you can do a best of 3 in under an hour if you're fast. My only experience with the orcs is a four-way fight at games club, and they were on the other side of the board so I didn't interact with them much. They appear to not die ever but their combat effectiveness isn't great until inspired, and there isn't anything that can one-shot them without upgrades right now so they WILL get inspired.

Lets get some more Blood Bowl in here with what I think is the highest death rate game so far of our little league. B3AR FORC3 ONE vs THE BONEY BUNCH https://go.twitch.tv/videos/200182944 I saved the first guy because I just need to keep bodies in my line. If I only knew what nuffle had in store for me...

Well I pre-ordered the Necromunda box. Gang War has the campaign rules so I got that too. And since I was there I figured I might as well pick up the dice sets for Goliath and Escher. But that was it. I also bought the card sets

The main box has a handful of cards, 4 for each gang plus 20 generics. The individual sets have 8 specific to the gang plus 12 generics (and spare stat cards with gang crests for custom gangers). I don't know how much overlap there is between the base box cards and the specific sets. And yeah the main box has dice, but the Gang dice are in alternative colours with House symbols on the D6s

None according to a facebook response (except for the blank cards which are functionally the same but have a house emblem on them). I would assume that the universal cards are also different between Goliath and Escher because this is how they're wringing more money out of Necromunda and having them all unique means a true grognard will buy all 6 house packs rather than 1.

Given that you're gonna get the same price everywhere that isn't GW, Frontline and Warstore have you covered for West Coast and East Coast. What else do you want?
