The most common one I see around here is people using covered tins. I'm mostly in with the bloodbowl crowd so brownie is plenty big for a team. Something like this is $13 at Walmart

I wasn't too worried about dust, more just a convenient way to store the minis. Also, I completely forgot Plano boxes existed when I posted that. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to use the cheap baking sheets for baking or something crazy like that. Also, we picked up Direchasm, Harrowdeep (more boards and dice along with the two armies), and the Champions of Dreadfang, Khagra's Ravagers and Exiled Dead armies when we picked up Gnarlwood. My wife really likes the look of the Lady Harrow's Mournflight warband, but I don't know if the Mournflight and Ravagers decks count as Rivals decks or not. Do we need to use the universal decks for them, or are their decks still "Rivals compatible" despite not saying so? Randalor fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Oct 31, 2022 |

Both Ravagers and Mournflight are rivals compatible. I think that the only ones that aren't are the original Shadespire warbands, but an extra card pack might be needed for the Nightvault warbands. I haven't looked at Underworlds in a long time now, so I'm not completely sure about Nightvault.

How long are the Underworlds releases generally available for these days? I love the look of the skeletons in Gnarlwood and I think the humans are OK, but I don't really want to drop 50 quid on another GW box right now. Will I still be able to get them in early 2023?

The Gnarlwood box should be available as a starter set until the next starter is released in April / May, at which time (if the pattern so far is followed) the skeletons will then be released in a box together with the Gnarlspirit Pack, which should be available for a year or so after that. (GW loss-leading starter set pricing being what it is, the set with just the warbands won't be appreciably cheaper than the starter set, so there's no need to wait til April/May.)

The Churn in Underworlds is so punishing. I love the game, I just can't keep up. I've sold all my universal cards from Shadespire > Direchasm and I'm trying to switch to Rivals, but finding some of the Rivals Decks already seems to be impossible.

They cut out all the White Dwarf Rivals decks and Silent Menace. It's just the one Harrowdeep, one Nethermaze, and two Gnarlwood Rivals decks now.

Talas posted:And I thank them for that. Most of the people that used to play locally (before COVID) are getting back into the game with Gnarlwood. Yes, just like with Warmachine Mk IV, I’m in favor of reducing the design space to make a tighter, better game, even if it means I can’t use some of the stuff I own. I organize the Underworlds meetup at my local store and we’re seeing a revitalization in interest now as well.

Squibsy posted:The Churn in Underworlds is so punishing. I love the game, I just can't keep up. Signs point to GW making "not having to keep up with the churn" a major design goal with Gnarlwood and the push for legitimacy of Rivals / Nemesis play. In theory, if you're playing Rivals / Nemesis you can literally just get a warband you like and a universals Rivals deck you like (and you don't need the latter if you only want to do Rivals) and be done collecting and still play on a more or less level field with everyone else. It does suck in some sense that pre-Gnarlwood universal Rivals decks appear to be generally not as good as the new ones, but OTOH that means that new players won't need to feel like they have to hunt them down.

That all makes sense and makes me hopeful. I feel like Rivals is a bit of a sad way to make the older bands be playable as the decks surely can only eliminate much of their play styles and unique character. And you still need the fighter cards (which I mostly have at least.)

Hey guys I have a question regarding the Kill team roster:- I noticed that the game allows you to equip side items like specific grenades, mines, shovels, etc. each with an equipment point value (with the total equipment allowed being 10), I built the data cards for my team but I want a good flexible way of assigning equipment differently per game, I cant really see a token specifying this in the starter box, and I dont want to print a checklist for every time we play a game. I'm thinking of making my own custom tokens that would allow each faction to have a physical thing they can put on their unit card so we can keep track of who is equipped with what. the front of the token is what equipment it is (Krak Grenade, Rosary, Shovel, etc.) and the back of the token is the point value of the item, that way it would be much easier for players to quickly choose and count up their item values to 10 and assign equipment to anyone they want in the team. would that work? I'll give it a try and see.

Al-Saqr posted:Hey guys I have a question regarding the Kill team roster:- Roster is for base models only (narrative might be different, I’m talking open and match play only) because equipment buying and assigning happens during the set up of each game individually. A lot of people use tokens next to the model or sitting on the card to represent them. Personally, I use a token next to the model for grenades, and just write down the rest on a scrap of paper.

Giant Ethicist posted:That's certainly one of the appeals of Nemesis, yeah, since you can use what cards you can salvage from the warband's faction deck as well, and also cover for cards in the Rivals deck that will be hard or impossible for the warband to use. We’ve been playing Rivals+ for months and I’m really excited to see it get official support as Nemesis. It’s a great balance of accessibility and customization.

Ok so it's time to be honest. I didn't realise Nemesis was a thing. It's lucky that I kept all the faction cards I had from the first four seasons cos this sounds great

     A single unit of Reavers left to paint, varnishing, and basing left to do and I'll finally have a 1,000 point army of High Elves ready to go for Warmaster. Thing is, I'm still not sure how I want to paint up the shields and banners, whether I want to go with actual designs, runes, or some combination thereof. I'll figure that out at some point, though.

Squibsy posted:gently caress yeah. Warmaster rules and the OG minis are also fantastic. Nice work! So actually, the general and all of the spearmen are Forest Dragon 3d prints. These are a couple of slightly older pics of them, but it gets the paint scheme across quite nicely.   I did go back through and change a few colors around, using Incubi Darkness instead of Snakebite Leather for the boots, to give it a darker, but not quite black look. I also went through and hit all the metals with Vallejo Glossy Black, then relayered the metals over it in order to make them pop a bit better, since that's the focal point of the army. Tbh, it was a quick couple of pics taken this morning before heading out for work, so once I get home I'll try and take some better ones, show off the gems a little better (since I've been using automotive paint flakes for them).

Don't know if they broke street date or what, but there's three new mini games at my B&N. Combat Arena: 40k, a death guard guy and a BA Terminator from the blind box square off against a marine and necron from the magazine.  Warhammer Quest: lost relics - looks cool, WHQ in a box.

Muir posted:How much of the way to an actual Blood Bowl team would that Blitz Bowl box get me? Full Blood bowl teams come with two sprues of 6 players each; Blitz Bowl has 1 Sprue of Human and Skaven players. So technically it gets you halfway, BUT the only way to get half-teams is from the BlitzBowl box or ebay.

Muir posted:How much of the way to an actual Blood Bowl team would that Blitz Bowl box get me? Depending on exactly what build you're going for, 1/3 to 1/2 each of a Human and Skaven team. You get 3 linemen and 1 of each of the basic positionals (Blitzer, Thrower, Catcher / Gutter Runner). At a minimum you'd need 5 more players for 11 players, and normally people go for 12 with max blitzers (4 for humans) so you'd need at least another sprue, plus you'd probably want the big guy too.

With Skaven you really want 4 gutter runners, and that blitz bowl box will only have 1. Though the majority of Skaven players don't bother with a Rat Ogre, so there's that.

Got my Kill Team starter box! so hyped to start building and playing! By the time I explore the game and see if I like it they should announce Soulshackle so by then I'll have figured out where to expand from there. the question is now how to build my Krieg Veteran squad, what weapons are best, etc. any tips or advice? is the grenade launcher good? does it ignore cover?

Muir posted:Sounds like it’s not an amazing entry point into Blood Bowl then. Thanks! Not really. They're also pretty different games - Blitz Bowl isn't "scaled down BB," it's BB adjacent and uses card-based objectives for most of your scoring. Blitz Bowl is more suited for someone who wants the BB flavor, but only wants to commit about 30 minutes or so to a game; or the person who already owns BB and some teams and would like something a bit different and/or wants to play a game with people who won't commit to the often infuriating whims of Nuffle's dice. EDIT: I appreciate that GW is doing these entry level mass market games, but holy poo poo, $50 is a big ask for the WHQ game. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Nov 3, 2022 |

First impressions of kill team starter set box:- 1) lol I got a misprint and got 2 ork transfer sheets and no imperial Krieg sheets, that sucks I wonder if I can request a free one from GW. 2) the overall quality of everything in the box is really really loving awesome, the models look utterly brilliant, the Krieg are smaller than I expected so I might need to figure out if I can do my designs on them effectively. 3) the presentation of everything is A plus, I’m surprised by how giddy I am opening and reading everything, genuinely excited to start playing this once I’ve assembled everything. Overall the starter set is a really good value, the only thing I can knock against it is the lack of the tac ops cards those are pretty essential and having to buy them seperately was not great. Also the dice feel slightly cheap but once I’ve figured if I enjoy the game I’ll get a more premium dice stuff. If the game turns out to be fun to play I will absolutely get a gallowdark thing really soon. Al-Saqr fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Nov 3, 2022 |
