Funzo posted:If the other side of that new Warcry box is good, I may be very tempted to finally get in to the game. You can pick up the current box for as low as 165 on eBay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/4039249789...ABk9SR56-i7j4YA It might be worth holding off and seeing how the new box does, because you can probably pick it up for less than 20% off if it doesn't sell well. I picked up the High Elf box for a really good deal because it was poorly priced and the model selection was not compelling for most collectors. Also, if you are willing to make a large order right now, you can order from the UK as the pound is extremely weak. Even though shipping is a bit high, I was able to place an order for Mortarion, a Gravis Tank, and the Admech Flyer that was about 30% off MSRP after it was all said and done.

Warcry is pretty good, yes. Too bad many people only play Killteam as the default small skirmish game.

I've played a bunch of games as Darkoath Savagers and it was amazing. Very well designed, though sometimes the random mission generation is just gonna gently caress you up.

Warcry is worth picking up if you can get it for 175 or so, just for the terrain and miniatures. They are really nice I think! And it is a lot of terrain. Even if you don't play warcry I think it is a good value. But they priced it so poorly you might be able to get even deeper discounts in a few weeks. Edit to add here it is at about 155, absolutely worth it I think: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1255172871...ABk9SR4CY-uT5YA

quote:- Army Faction: Skaven Any thoughts on this Skaven list I'm building? The Skaven book is so big and has so many interlocking moving parts I'm just kind of wondering if I'm missing something obvious. The plan is basically just to shoot poo poo up while clanrats screen and stormfiends provide a wall. Engineers buff the cannon and the ratling guns, while Thanquol gets on the boat with his skeleton bro and provides a massive distraction carnifex.

I'd probably run the Stormfiends as one group since they will love More-More Warp Power and can survive it. I've always been pretty surprised by them, but you definitely want them shooting for as long as they can. I've been running one group of 40 clan rats with a Clawlord in tow to ensure they survive battleshock. It has been a great tarpit while the rest of my army gets into position. I'm curious to know how your two groups of 20 do since I've always been hesitant to spend on clan rats.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/10/14/warhammer-the-old-world-orcs-bretonnians-tomb-kings-arrive/ The semi-quarterly Old World update has arrived. Mainly some new art of Bretonnian, Tomb King and Orc units. And a map update. And a possibly hint at a release next year, which coincidentally is also the 40th year anniversary for WHFB.

For some reason that update has got me so nostalgic for old warhammer fantasy. I just want some basic rear end humans fighting some of my basic rear end goblins. No godlike being centerpiece models or huge beasts. Just massed expendable armies led by a scrappy leader.

I imagine it's going to be rules for old warhammer playing the way it used to and a few special models and updates for the armies the designers like. I expect we'll get something like a mini range refresh for Bretonians and rereleases of the old warhammer forge pieces for empire and orks. The new stuff will nominally be seperate due to round bases.

When they refreshed the wood elves after so long and the rumours about new kits started coming I was so hopeful but it never happened. Maybe they've had some tucked away for years like the eldar jet bikes?

I have to imagine they will do almost exactly what Conquest: Last Argument of Kings does, and have relatively large square bases for formations that have circular slots for the individual models on round bases.

peer posted:d6 mortals for each model in this unit. ie, the chariot unit Lol, thanks, I also got this wrong. Glad to see the leaks. I was previously using my models as Ravagers, who got far worse, but they've now added another subfraction which rallies warriors/knights/chosen on a 4+. Since those are the units I'm all about, will probably switch to them. I've got a decent array of heroes and 30 warriors already, but will definitely end up with some more knights and chosen.

They seem to be teasing that it will happen next year as a 40th anniversary thing, maybe?

Getting new Bret sculpts is good for everyone, yeah. My original entry into Warhammer was a Brets vs Lizardman intro box when I was ten, and then a total failure at painting, and then getting back into the game around when Broken Realms began. Still miss the old Brets and I want to see a ghost version of them given how much the setting has talked about Hallost, the Afterlife of Heroes, which has managed to hold off Nagash's conquests since the Age of Myth.

So I just got back from a 3 round event with my Sons. Had great games, great opponents, but went 0-3, and I really felt like I was outclassed, badly. Now, that shouldn't be a surprise. Those were games 6-8 of AoS for me, and 3 of the games previously were 705/player, 2v2 games, so I know I have low literacy to what's out there. However, I found SoB are...not for me. I don't feel like I have the tools I need to succeed, and I'm not saying they aren't there, only that I didn't feel like the Sons bring the playstyle I'm looking for. I enjoy playing synergistic and flexible armies. My other army, OBR, felt much better at the 750 level than 2k of Sons did. I'm tempted by the relative simplicity and efficiency of Ironjawz. Again, not calling the SoB trash, but they don't play in a way I find rewarding. Going to try and see how OBR feel for me at 2k.

Sons definitely aren’t a flexible force, no. They have to play very smart for all that each one is super tough because they’re more fragile than they seem and struggle with board control and dealing with tarpits. E: Ossiarchs will do better if you want well oiled machine, but you’re gonna have to pay a lot of attention to when and where you use your commands.

Cooked Auto posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/10/16/sunday-preview-battle-beneath-the-gnarlwood-in-a-new-season-of-warhammer-underworlds Just in time for me to have ordered Nethermaze, they put the models on sale separately… Ah well, I guess I needed to get the actual game material at some point. If they’re going to bring back older teams without cards, they could’ve gone further back than last season (edition? I dunno how many ‘seasons’ these models actually comprise). Hell, if they don’t need to worry about cards, they could do entire season packs with every team included in one box. It’ll probably sell like poo poo, aside from weirdo completionists that skipped over Underworlds for Warcry until now…

How's Underworlds Rivals as a format? Definitely have no desire to collect random warbands for competitive decks, but definitely tempted to grab a handful of warbands to paint up and have premade decks ready to roll.
