I also have a Battle Sisters squad box. I'm going to model my Novitiates as Battle Sisters to have the actually good team rules with the visuals I prefer. The squad box plus the Novitiate Superior means I have 11 full-fledged Sister models. There are 12 unique operatives to model in Novitiates, though, remembering you need two So somebody has to look like a Novitiate. I'm soliciting opinions on if it should be (1) the Reliquarius because I don't think I'd ever bring her to the table anyway (2) the Penitent because the flavor text says she's on probation (3) the Hospitaler to give a loose non-combatant impression (4) the Condemnor to look lighter-weight and sneakier

I’m thinking of using some money for my club on terrain- where can I get some good “Ruined City” terrain for cheap to Canada?

Look for "Pegasus Hobbies' Gothic City." They're good value boxes, and look great if you put just a little effort into adding details.

Waited an hour through a preview stream promising The Old World coverage and got a single Bretonnia model. Amazing. I don't know why I get my hopes up. Fool me... How many times? It's definitely shame on me by now. I'm just going to play OPR Fantasy stuff at this point

They are definitely putting four+ years of dev time into a project 'that they are not going to make a real effort with', yes. This is a rational conclusion to take away from being shown an incredibly sculpted teaser mini.

My issue is not that we get drips of information every once in a while, but that most of what we have seen have been resin models. Just show us some plastic stuff, I don't mind waiting for the game, I just want to know if I can afford to play it.

This is a rational conclusion to take away from being shown an incredibly sculpted teaser mini. Do you have any source for the 4+ years dev work or are you just being exceedingly optimistic? And thinking the mini quality says anything about the game quality is pure delusion, especially when we're talking Games Workshop. Assuming half assed game design is the sane position at this point.

I mean, do you think it's possible that ToW is just one of many projects worked on by a small pool of designers and sometimes there may be err gaps, if you will in dev time, and there hasn't been a dedicated ToW team that's been banging away the game nonstop for four years?

The different time setting just means new heroes which is why that's all they're showing, it's probably all they're making new outside of the rulebook.

This is a rational conclusion to take away from being shown an incredibly sculpted teaser mini. A company who cranks out miniatures at a breakneck pace has their side studio working on a project and is demoing one model a year, on average. No effort was made to time the project with a massively successful video game franchise of the same topic. The majority of the models will be resin and expensive. Doesn't seem like a real effort to me for a game that needs more models than any of the other GW offerings.

Improbable Lobster posted:The video games are probably a big part of why The Old World is a thing at all. That's just an asinine complaint. It seems like a pretty reasonable complaint given that the series debuted 7 years ago. If they were going to make a serious attempt at The Old World that is designed to bring in new players and establish a game with legs then they would have already launched it in the last 4 years. We know they can come up with games and launch them in that time frame as they have, they launched Aeronautica Imperialis in that time frame and they will likely launch the new version of Epic prior to ToW's release. They had plenty of time and runway to even do a never before seen faction to launch with WHTW:3, they could have done Cathay. Or Kislev. But they didn't. They didn't leverage an incredibly succesfull cross collaboration of their IP that was attracting new users and fans. So either GW is terrible at business or ToW isn't a launch they are putting any real effort into and are just going to use it to sell expensive resin models and get some use out of their old moulds and pacify some old Grognards. Or both.

I was googling up ToW release info today and so only realized this morning that a lot (all?) of the line will be resin. Ugh, uuuugh. But if it creates new rules and any interest at all, I'll just make an army using Mantic plastic or something. I'm determined to get an army made and games played if there's any level of interest anywhere at all near me.

moths posted:Did people straight up forget that ~90% ToW is the AoS plastics you can already buy right now? Basing is going to be an issue because there was an article a while back that stated that they are for sure sticking with square bases and increasing the base size to 25mm. They did not close the door explicitly on having movement stands that accept round bases like a lot of other systems use for rank and file, but they did not seem to imply that was a direction they are looking to go. Most of the new AoS stuff is a little too dynamic to fit nicely, even on 25mm square bases. Heck, even the original rank and file WFB troops barely fit together. Cavalry may be the easiest to adapt as they are small units and if you run a unit of 5 you run them at that width, making frontage concerns with a fixed movement base less of a concern.

I took a cursory glance at some of the AoS stuff on GW's webstore, and all's I can say is good luck getting the majority of that into rank & file cleanly. So many of the AoS models have very dynamic poses that work great for a single figure, but not so much when they're going to be part of a massed regiment of troops. If GW were smart they'd have just revamped Mordheim to include some of the AoS stuff, and made some newer sculpts of some of the original MH warbands and characters.

Sydney Bottocks posted:I took a cursory glance at some of the AoS stuff on GW's webstore, and all's I can say is good luck getting the majority of that into rank & file cleanly. The new AoS units are crazy dynamic, but the thing to consider is that most of the 8th ed WHFB figures got issued round bases and rolled straight into AoS. Plus, we know 20mm based units are going up to 25mm. That's an extra centimeter between models, which makes ranking a lot easier.
