Are the number crunching goonhammer folks looking at the new AdMech kits? I've got the serberys on the way and love the look of both variants so would appreciate some data to help decide. Leaning towards the raiders, but flamer hounds are drat cool too.

Lord_Hambrose posted:These shirts are almost there, but why not just do simple logos? One of my favorite t-shirts for gaming is just the Iron Hands. Easy peasy. Yeah I don't know why more game companies don't do nice clean logo shirts, they're so much better than the da share zone style merch they usually have

It's a wasted opportunity for GW not having a red AdMech hoodie with white gear-teeth around the cuffs, trim of the hood, etc.

a black polo with 40k iconography is perfect recognition of their audience. Why do warhams love wearing oversized black polos?

So basically: 1) Yes we looked at some numbers this week, based purely on the GW previews, check out Hammer of Math from yesterday 2) We will look at more next week once Engine War is actually out 3) I can tell you for sure that the Raiders are good because they're extremely cheap for the number of wounds they have and they have a bunch of offensive upside, but 4) Maybe don't buy 27 robot horse-dogs yet in case 9th ed makes using them unviable

Polos are perfect if you want to look somewhat professional, they're more comfortable than button-ups, and require as much effort to throw on as a t-shirt. They're perfect for lazy nerds, so of course I love them.

The Dark Angels merch is in the Fallen colors, and I kinda love that. AdMech ranger hoodie seems cool on paper, but IRL it would look like pixelated Santa.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/06/02/join-the-crusadegw-homepage-post-1/ Today's 9th ed article deals with the new Crusade army playstyle. Which interestingly enough enforces the usage of Power Ratings instead of points. Also whoever is writing these footnotes really need to fix their order.

On the plus side, one of the things they mentioned in the reveal twitch stream was something like "Power levels staying the same wasn't working." At the time I thought maybe it referred to being more open to adjust them with errata, but I'm hoping it actually means there's a bit more power rating wargear granularity.

It just seemed like an obvious thing to cut. They have points, then "redundant but dumb points." I'm a super-casual player, and I guess they're aimed at me, but I own a calculator so IDK what the point is. I guess annoying daemon summoning rules.

Some of these mugs aren’t bad...at least I like the ones that are a little more involved than copy/pasting Warhammer art. Drukhari “Architects of pain” mug could be fun in some work environments...

Yeah, if they manage to fix PL to any appreciable degree I'll at least try it out. It needs regular adjustments and some way to differentiate wargear more than "not at all"

In the stream they basically said they ignored PL and didn't change it when they changed points values and that was a mistake. I get the logic of "PL is easy to calculate" in theory, but in practice I think the days of agonising over every last point are mostly gone simply as each unit has a more limited range of options. Yeah I guess if I have 6 GK Strike squads and 6 points spare I don't need to pick what squad has what weapon (as with PL they will all have a special weapon because why not?) but who's really agonising over this stuff for narrative games anyway? On top of that, if their app is supposed to basically be "use this instead of battlescribe" there's no maths needed as it keeps track of it all. All that being said though, the big advantage of PL is letting new players use whatever models they built rather than worrying about whether their unit is good or not. Your Tactical squad has a missile launcher and a flamer? No worries mate, they were "free"!

They really, really want an "easier" and "less intimidating" alternative to points that results in newer players just buying and building units that look cool and playing with them, without worrying about whether you're actually shooting yourself in the foot by giving that one guy the bigger cool gun because it means now you can't afford the crucial piece of wargear in the next unit over. I would expect them to keep workshopping PL for the foreseeable future. In the past, "I built my tac squad with the coolest looking options" was accomplished by new players not knowing poo poo, but now everyone is extremely online 24/7 and it's impossible to escape netlists and the vague but omnipresent anxiety being considered trash for having the wrong list.

It also seems kind of patronizing to a new player. If I was just getting into it, I don't want to be treated like a kid who just wants to use whatever looks cool and that's it

Or, you show up with a fully painted to a good quality force, with kitbashes and conversions that make people just *stare* at your models. After that, people don't give a poo poo about if your force is minmaxed or not. I've even intimidated players over multiple editions of 40K and WHFB with just "a cool-looking army", and I've never been all that good at actually playing seriously.

You can, but what are the margins on making those people your target market vs. targeting the 14 year olds who can buy a start collecting and a troop box? (And a can of spray primer and three (3) pots of Contrast.)

I figured the power level for crusades was because all your dudes will be getting upgrades and relics eventually which don't mix well with the point system. Plus you can re equip units between missions if you are fighting a different army but keep their upgrades/downgrades.

If they think I'll be confused by adding points for a plasma gun, just wait until I get heroic interventions, consolidating, charging, etc! I suppose it does make sense with the units' fluctuating status in Crusade mode though. It just feels like weird training wheels that they're managed to find uses for.

Hi, if I could, I'd like to ask a question about faction keywords. I picked up the 8th edition Deathguard codex for fun, and to have something to focus on when I need a break from the news. I haven't played since 2010, maybe, and I can already tell the game has changed from the way the stat lines are laid out, the lack of mention of points, no force org chart, and so on. I read the Goonhammer Start Competing article on Death Guard, which was pretty interesting, but noticed that it mentioned including Nurgle demons would invalidate special rules that came with Death Guard forces. How does including something that comes in the codex make other parts of the codex/special rules updates printed somewhere else not work? There's no Great Unclean Ones here too, which feels odd. So, say, if I had a big pile of WHFB skeletons I wanted to fungal up and use as the archetypal horde of bodies models, do I have to count them as Poxwalkers instead of Plague Bearers so my stink marines can keep their Good at Bolters rule?
