Yeah I might grab the pushfits to get some basic games in with people who are interested.

The push fits for death aren't the basic units though. For sigmarines and Khorne they absolutely are. Maybe there'll be anothe push fit or two for a £20 mini starter.

What happens to good souls? Mildly evil ones go to become the Nighthaunt line troops, chaos worshippers go to their gods, Sigmar recycles, but what about Joe Empire who just tries to make it through the day and maybe goes to temple twice a year?

Sigmar takes the Souls of the best and brightest, The Chaos Gods take those who worship them. All others go to the myriad underworlds and afterlives of Shyish. Nagash then sends his servants to collect those souls and pervert those afterlives. While also eating any after life gods that manifest with those afterlives. As of current events it appears that Nagash has further perverted the system of how things are supposed to work. Namely the big thing with his recent evil plan was to raise the undead in all the mortal realms, thus creating a zombie apocalypse. However this was not the main goal, the primary benefit is that he redirected the flow of souls, now all souls by default go his Fortress of Nagashizzar. Which he turns them into his ghosts. The Nighthaunt basic troops the Chainghasts are the souls of those who were not remarkable in any way, not just the mildly evil. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jun 25, 2018 |

Ghost Leviathan posted:Still wondering that I could field my old Lizardmen and new Deepkin, wondering why the hell they'd team up. Do the lizards have souls worth mention? Could they work out a deal? Background wise? Whoooo knows. Though Lizardmen are completely anti-chaos still, so I can see them working with the seedier elements of order just to take them on. Though I doubt they would get together with the fish elves for a spot of soul tea afterwards.

So Lady Olyander seems to be a ton of insane effects on a 7 wound 4+/6++ chassis. I wouldn't underestimate her but I have a feeling she might not be so crazy to fight in practice. If you can kill her in one turn to prevent her from ever healing or doing anything then you get to laugh at the guy who brought a 240 point model to the game. I'm way more interested in Kurdoss stealing command points, or using Reikenor as what a pleads to be a 75 point guarantee of getting the Purple Sun off. Also they all look horrible to transport, and I like that Kurdoss is followed by a band of ghosts constantly dissing him.

Yeah, magnets are basically the only way you could safely transport so many models so horribly topheavy and fragile.

None of them are Monsters so they all benefit from the -1 to hit with shooting "look out sir" ability. And the 4+ is unmodifiable.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:Yeah, magnets are basically the only way you could safely transport so many models so horribly topheavy and fragile. I wonder if we're going to see a broader shift towards magnet/rack based storage over foam in the hobby. I know having done it for my stormcast (mainly because of the prosecutors), its just way more convenient and pretty easy from a DIY perspective. If models keep getting more elaborate, it'd seem like that would be the logical step for a lot of people.

Any good guides to making a magnetic box? Do you just superglue some kind of metal sheet to the bottom of a box?
|

Jun 26, 2018 13:27

Hot glue or silicone would probably cover better especially if you're just using a plastic tote where the flexibility could break superglue bonds. Some folks have magnetic attraction/repulsion issues with magnets in the bases if you're running a bunch of dudes tight together. The alternative approach is gluing magnetic stripping to your container of choice and steel washers in your bases.

A magnet in the bottom of the tray and washers on the bases is the much better option IMO - your dudes won't tend to stick to each other, and you can get an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of magnet (the kind of thing you use for making magnetic labels for a scheduling whiteboard or what have you) for like a dollar. The magnet won't be super-strong, but totally strong enough to hold plastic miniatures in place under anything less than rough handling.

 I bought a TableWar case at AdeptiCon and while it was expensive, I love it. I've tried to make my own storage stuff in the past and it usually just leaves me disappointed. If you have the cash I'd go for that. I personally don't buy battlefoam™ stuff anymore

My only concern about these are 1) it's gotta be heavy as gently caress, even empty; 2) sometimes airline travel is not the most gentle, even if you have control of your stuff, so you're really dependent on your magnetizing, since you don't have anything else protecting your models from rattling around that hard case; 3) are the Tablewar cases even carryon sized?; and 4) cost - how many models do you have in there? That's the $130 case, right? A PACK 432 with Magna Rack is the same price (cheaper with a sale) and I'm curious how well it compares. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Jun 26, 2018 |

Tablewar posted:The Case is designed for the display, storage, and light transport of hobby models and miniatures. This case is small enough to be used as a carry-on on an airplane. This case is not recommended for heavy transport such as, for example, the unprotected checking as baggage within an airplane.

You're right, the one I was looking at didn't mention carry-on so I just went with the no-checking line.

It says an attack roll deals a mortal wound and immediately ends the resolution for the attack, no wound or save roll. Does this circumvent abilities that let you save vs. mortal wounds?

Disgustingly Resilient and other stuff still works.

Asteria looks like a Lord-Arcanum with some extra bits and isn't impressive to me. Aventis has a bit more going on because of his access to Mortal Wounds, but a +1 to hit for missile weapons for targets that he flies over seems nice. Not worth having to go with that ugly gold scheme to use, but they seem like okayish uptakes on a regular Lord-Arcanum maybe?
