Hedningen posted:That’s surprisingly relevant for my Cawdor, so good to know! I’ll make sure to check with this group - it’s folks I haven’t interacted with much at my LGS which is generally pretty good about being non-groggy, but I figure I can also talk like a human person and get clarification on these things beforehand. Yaktribe is great, I play Cawdor too! Cawdor are *fantastic* with the new rules, you’ll have a lot of fun! Everyone going Van Saar is a bit of a worry, none of us play hyper competitively so there’s no van Saar in our campaign at all lol. If you’re interested in checking out a bunch of photos from our campaign(s) (it’s being run over two states, side by side) then check out Necrochunder on Instagram, everyone’s put a lot of effort into the gangs and terrain so it makes for good photos

Genghis Cohen posted:This is quite interesting stuff that I never got serious enough about X Wing to really understand. But my point was actually, if you are going to have arbitrary range/distance increments, just label them with numbers. Range 1, Range 2 etc. That seems better for communication than Range circle, range pentagon etc. The latter seems super inconvenient to describe in writing and even clunky to talk about. FFG didn't do it out of some desire to make it convenient for players. They did it to make the system proprietary. If the symbols map to inches directly it would be infinitely easier to decipher than FFG's BS.

I'm not praising FFG's implementation of it, obviously it's clearer and better if Range 1 is actually 3", Range 2 5" or whatever. I'm just saying it's better to assign your made-up units numbers (or even names, like 'short move/long move' or 'short/medium/long range' than it is to assign them symbols.

Genghis Cohen posted:Necromunda can certainly be criticised for publishing too many rules and proof-reading them drat badly, but it seems bonkers to suggest that has killed the game. For everyone who hates those aspects enough to leave the game alone, there seem to be two players who gripe but still enjoy the masses of vibrant content, and three more who have just seen the models and are asking how to buy into the game. ? Was that intentional?

Still trying to decide on which Path of Faith to run: leaning towards Fanatic, as I absolutely needed to use an Eviscerator on my leader because that weapon is amazing, and the rest of my gang is pretty much geared towards short-to-mid range. Decided bodies were more important at the start, so running 3 Brethren, 1 Redemptionist Specialist, and 3 Bonepickers along with a Priest and 2 Firebrands. Kinda light on armor and backup gear, but I figured an extra Bonepicker was more useful than a few 6+ saves.

Does anyone know roughly what size the Slaaneshi Knights from Epic 40k are in relation to the Imperial knights? I'm tempted to try my hand at 3D modeling and making "Slaanesh Knight" parts for Imperial Knights seems like a good starting point for doing curving parts. I'm just not sure which of the 3 sizes of Imperial Knight to use as the base for the parts.

They all look like average 28mm figs and even the new questoris is primaris sized.

So if I wanted to make Slaaneshi Knights for Chaos Knights in Warhammer 40k, would it be Armiger-sized for the Hell Strider and standard Knight-sized for the Hell Knight and Hell Scourge? Or standard knight size for the Strider and Dominus-size for the Hell Knight and Scourge?

The hell strider works armiger-size, the other two should be regular knight size. (That's how I'm doing it in Epic, anyway.) E: This link has the top half of the Hell-strider in 28mm, you're on your own for the legs.

Children of Juice, volume 2. Biting his bloody lip Pickles held Slub down, everyone gathered around as he performed the ritual once again to try and garner Juice’s attention. Echoes of dark whispers swirled in the periphery - it was working!. Breathing deeply he closed his eyes to Slub’s squirming and choking, and reached out with his mind and made contact. A word appeared in his mind, “Stimmhound”, and an associated feeling of inconsequence. That must have been that deranged bedraggled stimmer with the oily hair, reeking of bad booze! Losing focus for a moment Pickles recalled his glorious charge into the fray, crushing one of the reviled Stimkrue underfoot with others wasting their ammo on him or foolishly throwing themselves off balconies at him only to break their own bones… then that shabby stimmer had rushed in…. Snapping his eyes wide open, Pickles wiped the drool from his chin and rose to his feet. Glancing briefly down at Slub’s twitching unconscious body, he knew what he had to do now, and why his defeat had not also lost him the favour of the great Juice. Stimhound was washed out, and everyone else in that gang were irrelevant, but for one of Stimkrue that had not been there that day - Backwash! The name seemed to be burned behind Pickles’ eyes, he had to bring Backwash to Juice! Children of Juice, volume 6. Pickles shouted to Meatloaf and Scraps, pointing the lonely finger of his mutated chainarm towards the approaching Orlocks. Pickles turned to face the real threat, not waiting to make sure they understood the order, or seeing Meatloaf’s incredibly inept throw bounce his only grenade uselessly off into the distance. Lightning crackled as Stabbitha burst through the smoke, the terrifying reborn Escher-Goliath techno-hybrid shredded a second allied slave Ogryn apart just as Pickles slammed his back to the wall, hidden under the overpass. Now was his chance! Breathing deep, emboldened by the true spirit of Juice through rampaging through his veins, Pickles charged around the corner to face the monstrosity. Crashing hard into her they furiously exchanged blows in an exhausting show of stamina and resilience. Raising his combi-pistol Pickles knew the tide was turning in his favour, but suddenly felt a cracking shock in the small of his back from an enforcer baton! Stumbling he turned to face this new foe, but he was greeted with a another - the gaping maw of a patrol dog. Barely able to kick the dog aside or fend off the partolman Pickles swung around again as Stabbitha pressed in with her dual lightning claws racing towards his eyes. He didn’t have time, or air in his lungs, to speak, but the glare he gave through gritted bloody teeth spoke volumes - Stabbitha and the Ash Giants should have sided with the new god, Juice, rather than the the forces of oppression.

Nerds getting mad about symbols isn't limited to GW groups. People were talking about it on a Mantic page and I explained that I actually liked how with the symbols and multipliers, you could have effects that affect models for different values of movement penalty rather than absolute values or clunky "reduce by half, round up or down" and people immediately got huffy and said, "BUT THE TRIANGLE JUST REPRESENTS INCHES!" and completely missed the point.

Apparently further clarification from the devs shows that GW took the great idea of banded ranges and made ALL movement in "circles" so the idea that terrain would affect units differently is now out the window. Weapon ranges are banded, but not movement.

Weapon ranges are banded, but not movement. Wait did they say how terrain is going to affect movement instead? This seems incredibly short sighted. Like, that's 80% of the reason you'd use fixed units movement like this. E:  The use of "most units" and "usually cost" circle make me think it might work the smart way. They're probably spoon feeding this out to avoid confusing people who want to get angry. moths fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Jul 17, 2021 |

Taking a quick look at  Hell Knight and Hell Scourge look about regular Knight size (for the time), Questor is wider due to those gun arms so maybe Castellan equivalent, the Hell Strider is a bit smaller and iirc used to come in 'packs' so Armiger is probably appropriate though may be a little undersized. Subjugator is about Warhound sized.

Walked into my FLGS this morning at 10am, right as they opened. Asked about pre-ordering the Beast Snagga set. "Sorry, as soon as they announce a new set like this, we set up a reservation system. We have 33 people in queue to buy that set, and we are only getting 4 of them next week"  So many boxes are going to scalpers who are just putting them up online for double the price or more. I tried getting on GWs website immediately after, took a half hour to get into the web store and... they were already sold out online.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:yes but GW likes scalpers It makes perfect sense because having stock in storage is financial poison for companies like GW. If they leave some money on the table (the margin scalpers take) but get 100% of their stock off the shelves on day one, that's an amazing deal for them. It's like outsourcing your storage to a bunch of rando's basements and closets.
