Good old bloodbowl. Reminds me of the time that we had a ball fumble off of eight zombies in a row (they were grouped up) only to end up in the hands of a very confused mummy standing next to them.

Virtual Russian posted:War Walkers get a 6+ reinforced save, which until tonight I thought was a joke. Serves me right for going from memory! I should have checked before mouthing off. War Walkers having Reinforced Armour is indeed hilarious given that they're baby-carrier style. And I can't remember which thing I was fielding with Lance weapons that made me have to look that up over and over again. Maybe Fire Prisms. Or... heyyyy, war Walkers' Bright Lance guns. And yeah every army list I run always inevitably has falcons. They work fine on their own, but also serve as transports in a pinch, and they're an available upgrade for aspect warriors.

Old school Epic used square bases because infantry detachments had to maintain base contact I think? It made it slightly easier to keep track of which units were firing rolling the massive number of dice you usually ended up rolling. Like a Devastator Marine detachment was like 10 infantry bases and each got to roll 2 attack dice, so poo poo got bananas super quickly. Keep in mind its literally been decades since I played OG Epic, but yeah Armageddon was so much nicer and they released the neat boxy Warlord alongside it

Any idea when we'll be hearing about the next season of Underworlds? It's been a while since the last warbands were released.

I've been wondering the same. If memory serves, Direchasm was announced in August of 2020, so it would follow that the new season should be announced soon.

Good point. Depressingly, I wanted to get my hands on the Crimson Court, but it sold out almost immediately everywhere I looked and I haven't seen it come back into stock since, so I might not even be able to get my hands on any new releases anyway :/

I have the Reapers and the Soulraid still to paint, but work has had me so busy that I've only just started on los bony bois. Given the rate at which I've been getting through them, they should tide me over till the inevitable Season 5 Thunderstrike SCE vs Kruleboyz box in December.

I'm having trouble figuring out where the various weapons are on the various titan kits for Titanicus. Are some of the options for the Warlord only on forgeworld? Or no where?

Sunfury plasma cannon, power claw, and laser blasters are available as either a full Warlord kit or a sprue on their own. Same for Belicosa volcano cannon & Apocalypse missiles. The other weapons are sold singly from Forge World, in resin.

They announced the Arena Mortis expansion back a week or two ago, which likely will kick rear end and probably be the tide-over.

In addition to what LJS has posted, BattleBling (UK) do an absolutely massive selection of optional heads, weapons and other random bits if you really want to bling (heh) up your robots. They have various "inspired-by" weapons at half the rate FW are doing them for if you don't play at official tourneys.

Speaking of Blood Bowl, after only ever having the BB2 game client to play on, I'm going to my first Blood Bowl tournament ever this weekend, so that's nice. I'm in a .. relatively low pandemic area, so here's to hoping local infection rates stabilize again before we go full lockdown again.

I hadn't noticed that. That is disconcerting. As you say, I'd hope it means plastics are coming. The game seems to be popular enough to justify it, and the discontinued weapons would probably fill a sprue.

They routinely interchange discontinued/no longer available/out of stock at the moment. Maybe they mean different lead times?

TheDiceMustRoll posted:I can't tell if it's popular or not, I know four people that own various starters for it, and not a single one of those people has assembled the models nor shown any interesting in doing so. The titans are kind of complicated (at least moreso than Space Marines, or the usual 40K model) so I think people are a little apprehensive to get started. Also, it's got a much smaller player base, so unless you have people in your circle playing, there isn't a lot of incentive to start building. We've got one guy in our relatively large group that is in hardcore, and he has two forces painted up. Some of us have the kits, but since we focus on other games, it's not a priority for the rest of us.

I have the starter set, I just didn't have a decent storage solution. Battlefoam had a sale and one of the things that was on sale was the AT box insert so when that arrives, I'm looking forward to making my tiny robots.

What's the difference between this and the bullshit limited edition catachan dude that keeps selling for 100+ bucks on ebay? GW can gently caress off with this FOMO bullshit.

Lord_Hambrose posted:??? Uhh... It is a two week period? Did you read the link? Quoting GW: ” Everyone who pre-orders a copy of the new Kill Team this weekend will get one.” That said, it matters little if it's two days or two weeks. Launching a game and having the core starter box being available for such a short amount of time is just bad in every way. Good luck trying to build a Kill Team community with that kind of support. It's like trying to imagine how little chance I would have had of getting into Warhammer at the first place if the starter box of that time had been a stupid splash release horded by scalpers. It's bad for the hobby, it's bad for the fans, it's bad for the community. Lucinice posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/08/sunday-preview-adjust-your-scopes-kill-team-octarius-has-been-sighted/ Yes this is marginally better than Cursed City.

Everything in that box will be available to buy separately next month. You aren't missing anything if you don't get it, it is just a nice bundle. That said I absolutely agree, getting real tired of these GW FOMO boxes, but this box is in no way needed to get into KT.

I think they mean how this weekend is included in that two-week window. All the individual components will still be available separately, either way. It's just the bundle deal that's limited. This is a major improvement. E;fb

If it’s all going to be purchasable separately, it’s not FOMO, it’s basically a preorder discount.

Well if it will help curb scalpers in the long run to some degree, it's better than nothing. But I'm not stoked that it's the second time in a year that GW releases a new product that gets my interest (which is good) where I can't even wait until it's released to decide if I want to pick it up or not.

You can wait until the last day of the preorder window to order it, then cancel anytime before yours gets processed since they're filling them first-in-first-out. And even if you miss that extended soft cancellation window, you can certainly return it to a GW store.
