Business Gorillas posted:So im flipping some of my stuff and debating getting into khardaron overlords for Soviet Space Dwarfs. Anyone got a good place to start? If you want to work towards a tournament list, the Goonhammer article gives you a pretty good idea of what to shoot for: a Dirigible Suit warlord, your two obligatory support heroes (with an Endless Spell for the Aether-Khemist Spell in a Bottle you should always take, and Warp-Lightning Vortex can't really be beat here), an Ironclad, and then the rest can be to preference but a full block of Thunderers to fill your flying clown car is probably the way to go

Hero #2 for Cursed City - Qulathis the Exile. I can’t quite 100% tell but it looks like the antlers are part of her armor? If so I guess Kurnothi can also just be regular rear end wood elves.

Vampiretide has their Kerillian. Going by this it might be a headband or something.

I appreciate that GW isn't modeling the strings on bows anymore. Plastic can't really be thin enough to look 'real' while retaining integrity. That being said, I wonder how crazy it would be to add something like fishing line...

I'm thinking this rumor engine from a couple of days ago could be a Cursed City thing If it is, there's good odds that the big guy we've only seen the back of could be an ogre. They're in the city at least.

Outside of the lumineth sentinels and some characters, did they model strings all that much? I know older crossbow kits (IE: empire and darkshard) tend to have them but I'm trying to think of a bow unit that did.

This dude uses painted thread and actually drills the bows so that it's not far off from an actual stringed bow lol. Looks pretty good. https://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.com/2014/12/modeling-tutorial-bow-strings.html I think fishing line would be more "realistic" at that scale but it would also probably just be invisible except for when it catches the light.

It's the kind of thing my brain has never had an issue making up. I I think the elf's bow should be more bent for how far her arrow is drawn, though.

That looks super cool, but I'd be afraid to have to also drill into hands and stuff if you have a model pulling the string back - especially if they're only holding it with a couple fingers or something

Pretty sure my first AoS army is gonna be either Orks or Ogors. They both play pretty similar in that they want to quickly get in the opponents face for krumpin time, but what are the big differences between the two?

They both play pretty similar in that they want to quickly get in the opponents face for krumpin time, but what are the big differences between the two? I would say Orruks are probably the more direct / less complex of the two (and also currently the more competitive army), and then your other big consideration is how elite you want your army to be. Orruks have three factions: Savage Orruks (basically a horde army), Ironjawz (fairly elite, smaller, harder hitting units), and Big Waaagh (in theory a combination of the two but mostly gets run almost entirely as Ironjawz because the faction traits are very good for them). Don't have enough experience with Ogors to give a strong answer but my impression is that they are an even more elite army, with the Beastclaw lists running probably the smallest number of units of any army other than Sons of Behemat. Currently I'd say the tier list for both armies in terms of competitive play would be: Big Waaagh Ironjawz Mawtribes (mostly Bloodgullet) Beastclaw Savage Orruks But they are both pretty much armies that are all hammer, no anvil, yeah.

Underworlds minis are so drat good but I wish anyone near me actually played it. Unfortunately everyone says the rules suck and that playing at a competitive level means collecting spending a shitload of money on cards from basically every warband that has ever been released, which leads me to wonder who they are making all of this for if it's that unpopular.

Huh, most people I've talked to says the rules are quite good? Supposed to be fast-paced and fairly easy to get into. Given the level of releases it has received since it launched, I'm thinking it must be selling quite well. Haven't had a chance to play it myself yet, though. Just painting a lot of warbands until the world opens up again

Yea I've heard mostly good things. I enjoyed playing it, what really drove me away was simply the difficulty of building a deck every time I want to play a new warband. XYZ cards being staples in every deck regardless of your band means you're constantly shuffling cards around. Just let me but multiples, drat it. Anecdotally, it seems to primarily appeal to people who want a tactical game that can be set up and played in under an hour, don't have to deal with measuring tapes and terrain and all that "clunky" time consuming stuff. It definitely feels like Wargaming Lite even by skirmish game standards, but it was still tactical enough to be engaging. I just got tired of the tedium of building decks because I change warbands all the time, and facing the same opponent who is my polar opposite in that he just picks a band and sticks with it for months at a time and I get bored of that.

Weird, there are literally no events for it here and the few people I've talked to about it said they didn't like it because it felt more like a board game than anything related to AoS. Most of the complaining was about how much of a pain in the rear end deckbuilding is though, yeah. Wish I lived somewhere where I could try it out for myself eventually, the small warbands are perfect for me because I paint slow and tend to lose interest by the time I've done like 10 mostly interchangeable versions of the same battleline model, and the sculpts have infinitely more character.

For Underworlds, our play group basically set a rule that all decks have to be made out of the cards that came with the particular band. That keeps it from getting too expensive or competitive to play. Underworlds is a really good filler game. It's quick to setup and play, and works OK with 2, 3, or 4 players. In the pre-Covid times, if we had a day of Warhammer, it would probably be one full size Sigmar or 40k game in the middle of the day, with some Underworld games before or after. I think Underworld is better than Warcry, and both are better than Kill Team. I like Warcry a lot, too.

I own a bunch of underworlds poo poo and play it regularly with a friend from work who is in my covid bubble just by virtue of us working together. Saying that underworlds is like a board game isn't wrong but its a drat good board game that goes fast and has a lot of interesting tactical depth. We're just starting to build real decks and I'm already starting feel it scratching the same competitive itch that I had with MtG.

It's a board game, Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. That's pretty much all we know right now. They made a few others in this vein (Silver Tower, Shadows over Hammerhal and Blackstone Fortress) and I believe they're fairly well-liked but I haven't tried them myself. Usually got some great models though. Winklebottom fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Feb 18, 2021 |
