I suppose that might seem like the case for people know that the vehicle based big shoota had to be deleted?

Cease to Hope posted:gorkamorka was a genuinely great game with some very nice models and janky rules Fixed that for you. The game was over the top ridiculous bullshit fun. You WOULD have your dice gently caress you, or have your Boyz ran over but dammit if it wasn't always funny. Such a good beer and pretzel game It had the randomness of like Bloodbowl but both the game, and other players, didn't seem to kick you while you were down as much

Everything about that game that should have been fast took forever to play through, and all of the interesting parts happened between matches. I feel like if you're going to have a Mad Max game, you really want to make sure the vehicle rules work and don't involve four (or sometimes more!) layers of dicerolling every time you shoot at one, and that the rules for going fast are actually quick to resolve.

I would rather play Gorkamorka than 40k any day of the week. Maybe not the best balanced game, but so much fun if you had the correct mindset for it. Always funny how survivable getting hit by a trukk was.

Once I had my Bretonnians and Tomb Kings at a decent place, I was done until 9th hopefully reduced unit sizes. Oof Buddy, I thought I had it bad with just collecting Brets. I sold all mine in a rage eons ago though.

I have like ten thousand plus points of tomb kings rotting away on my shelf. Someday maybe I'll play some kings of war with them, but I invested in magnetic trays that were the right size for 8th edition fights but aren't the right size for Kings of War, and that really irritates me too. I bought into 8th edition by starting with a purchase of someone else's large, 3/4 unpainted 7th edition Tomb Kings army. I figured as the first 8th edition army book to be printed, the faction would surely get lots of support and be great! Also I really loved the story and aesthetic of them. They lost every battle I ever played with them, IIRC, because they sucked rear end on the table, in part becuase I didn't know how to play well, part because I didn't necessarily have the right models, but mostly because I played players who had one of the good army books. The game was wildly unbalanced. GW persisted in not supporting with new models or army books any army that was selling poorly, which was self-defeating for that army as the lack of support inevitably reduced sales for it. 8th edition had serious rules problems (like all GW games of that era lol), was too random especially in the magic phase (again, too much randomness being a recurring problem with GW rulesets), and with different writers writing each army book, the wild imbalance could shift with any new release. But the way it randomly seemed to favor some armies over others just came off as so capricious as to be malicious. The same time as they were slashing staff to run one-man stores, eliminating support for playing WHFB in stores or at their own conventions, killing their online forums, and otherwise just being a terrible company, they were just randomly loving over long-time players over and over again, and tons of us just... hit a limit. For me the limit was The End Times, in which they weren't satisfying with just deciding to not do Tomb Kings any more and maybe apologizing and explaining it as a necessary business decision, they had to actually have the Tomb King's eternal enemy Nagash win and destroy the faction. Supposedly we tomb kings players were supposed to play Undead/Vampires afterward, like, happily play as the faction that destroyed our faction. No apology, no admission of fault, just "haha isn't this awesome?" It's real, real hard to think of ever supporting that company again, after that. Despite all of its flaws, I really enjoyed playing 8th edition. And despite rumors and posts that GW is doing sooo much better now, I'll never buy in heavy into any GW product again. I'm happy to keep playing Epic Armageddon (although it's been 1.5 years+ of course), I'll try and play some Kings of War if I can find a friendly opponent, but I've got zero interest in Sigmar as a game or as a setting, and that's not going to change, so, welp.

8th also introduced random elements into places they had absolutely no place being, such as the daemon army book. "I'd love to gamble 150 points for a chance to roll the gift I want." - absolutely nobody

Virtual Russian posted:Oof Buddy, I thought I had it bad with just collecting Brets. I sold all mine in a rage eons ago though. Honestly in retrospect I kinda prefer it this way. I was angry at the time (and the following 4 years) but they exist as a relic of time rather than a bastardized version of themselves. I sold the Tomb Kings in a huff but Brets were always my faves. I have recently taken baby steps back into AoS though as Gloomspite is the thing I liked most about Orcs and Goblins condensed into its own faction, and Nighthaunt are just cool. I dont really play that much anymore though so Its a more about the journey for me now

I'm sure I could get a pick up game over at Black Diamond Games, or on Facebook or something. I rarely feel like I have the time to go out on a weeknight to hang out at the game store around dinner time to play a nerd game with strangers, though. I have a goon friend who would play with me, maybe soonish now we're all vaccinated, we shall see. I also bought into the kickstarter for Vanguard, although it's all still in the box it arrived in. Might give that a go.

For some reason the randomness in Gorkamorka never bothered me the same way it bothered me in say Blood Bowl or Necromunda Maybe it was because thematically the setting was pretty loving weird and wacky, and I read through the lore thoroughly before playing my first game. So the randomness felt appropriate? I've convinced a mate to have a go at doing a campaign when covid restrictions die down, we'll see how the game holds up

Bay area gooney bird with a stupidly huge collection Wood Elves, and Goblins. Stopped trying to gear up to the GW rules meta since 8th and am so glad I did. Based for WHFB. Lord of the Rings. This system and models are good. Been playing it since 2001. Man O War. Rules lousy, models pretty. Epic. So much Chaos from all editions. I dig the teeny models. Big map Ogre/GEV is fun with Epic models and an Ogrethulhu Mk V. Warmaster. Teeny models again. Picked up all the esoteric Empire and Daemon models. And a metric ton of Khemri.

Like Blood Bowl, the wackiness is at a disjoint with how long a match takes and how much screwing around you needed to do to actually play a match.

Richard Halliwell, cocreator of Warhammer and Space Hulk died this weekend. I hadn't heard his name before, but he's had a disproportionate impact on the hobby I love. Rest in peace man. Let's all spend 2CP to pour one out for him.

I've ordered from them a couple of times. The quality is great, but they are slow to make the order and then shipping from Germany will take an age and a half. Printing in Detail has a much smaller selection but the quality is the best and they'll hop on your order ASAP. Shipping is faster than Excellent Miniatures despite being in the UK. If you're in the US, Warp Rider Games has some of the new warmaster stuff for sale https://warpridergames.ecwid.com/Forest-Dragon-c59379383 https://warpridergames.ecwid.com/Cromarty-Forge-c74917204 however, they aren't good at keeping up with new releases and its frustrating. I would prefer to shop with them! If you want super-quality prints, almost all the new Warmaster stuff is printed only in Europe :/

My epic eldar have been gathering dust for a long time now, too! I forget if you've got/learned the Kings of War rules? Maybe we could have a KoW Movement Tray Construction Party in my garage, I've got all the tools and materials to do that, and then follow up with a KoW match in a later month or something. That'd be sweet. Or hell I'd still play warhams 8th edition too if you're into it.

If you think about it, WHFB has all the hallmarks of a GW specialty game now. - people are nostalgic for it - mostly impractical to actually play by modern standards - cancelled

It’s basically a full game with a board, dice, and rules. The other one is just the two warbands and their cards.

MRLOLAST posted:Does the boards really differ that much for UW? Like does one benefit a certain playstyle more than another or is it just taste? If UW means Underworlds, yes they matter a lot. They have different starting positions, blocked hexes and lethal hexes. Ghost teams that can ignore the blocked and lethal ones can benefit a lot from them. Being able to set up 1-2 hexes closer or further from the enemy fighters also matters a lot. Setting up behind blocked positions especially in defensive objective play can be game changing. Using certain types of boards in certain placements can create chokepoints that are easy to block off and so on. Currently in competitive play you can't use the same board twice in your bo3, and we have some banned boards because they had some extremely beneficial starting hexes (and some of them were sort of limited availability).

Do we expect anything for Titanicus for today's Warhammer Fest "boxed games" preview? Considering AT has just had the Warmaster titan released and the volkite weapons kits announced, how likely is it that there's anything else coming soon? I don't really have a grasp of how often the various game lines are updated.

Agreed on Traitor Legions for AT. Predictions: Cursed City reprint talk and an expansion preview. A new AI race, chaos maybe B&N style boxed games to recycle assets. (Space Marine Heroes 3 with the Death Guard) Necromunda House of Faith(?) and Redemptionist coverage Wild guess Mario Kart knockoff Gorkamorka (for phones!)
