I want it on record that I don't have time to game because I spend my time chasing my kids around, not because I'm working so hard. My posting history should make it clear I don't do nearly enough work.

Flames of War is getting real dumb so I'm looking at Infinity and Dropfleet again. I didn't actually like Frostgrave when I tried it all that much. It seemed pretty wonky. My FLGS isn't stocking warpath because mantic are apparently hell to order from and work with.

berzerkmonkey posted:What's going on with it? Stuff I have a personal distaste for? Stuff like the unit cards, nerfing assaults (and really all non-artillery ways of killing dug-in infantry), the wonky morale rules I wasn't insanely keen on from TY... There's a lot of stuff that, alone, I probably would've gone for but together is just too much irritation to really be living with. Objectively, the rules are like they were typed up the night before submission working from napkin notes where you had loads of great ideas that were definitely top-grade material but you can't quite remember them because you were working at 4am. Blitz move prompts so many questions because it's not very clear how it operates. Building LOS doesn't mention that building walls block LOS (they're listed as Tall terrain earlier and it specifically mentions that you can't see troops on the other side of buildings, though). Snipers hides still give them concealment, bullet proof cover, and gone-to-ground status even when shooting, as always, but the rule that's probably meant to be there that says they can't take normal movement is missing, so presumably they can carry them with them. Relatedly, their gun isn't slow-firing, despite having a new stat line, so it should probably be Slow Firing (which they maybe assumed they didn't need because they assumed the intention was obvious snipers can't move). Assaults, despite being "simplified", now have confusing wiggle about who gets to assault (especially with the new QoQ rules). The way last stand is written it's arguable it never applies. There's probably loads more stuff I've forgotten. If I needed a recent example of the kind of problems you get when you design internally where everyone knows what you mean already and either don't have or don't listen to playtesters (I wouldn't speculate which), I would absolutely point to V4.

Apparently they're better now, but the owner still prefers to go through a distributor instead of ordering direct. And yeah Frostgrave wasn't my cup of tea.

Bistromatic posted:Bureaunauts That looks pretty cool! I might spend some of the money I save by not buying GW stuff and the time not spent on raising kids, working and playing Infinity and buy that game. Frostgrave was a real let down when I realized my Muscle Wizard was really poo poo at the game

Looking for advice on my WIP chaos lord. His schtick is going to be that his name is"Heretestical", a devotee of slaanesh. His catchphrase is going to be "SUCKLE MY HERETESTICALS!". I plan on shouting this warcry at my opponents to throw them off. What should I go for, colorscheme wise? Should I paint his armor to look like a hairy ballsack?

Pyschological warfare is a real thing, and nothing fucks with somebody like a 36 year old unemployed man demanding that they suckle him. This is how i'm going to loving win games kiddo. I have the right attitude, now I need a paintscheme to match it.

Skin-tone paint scheme, then varnish. While the varnish is still wet, get some electric clippers and give yourself a good trim, ensuring the trimmings fall over the mini. Hairy flock armor

  The new "just a conversion" superultramarines, that don't really invalidate your current marines but really they do and you need to replace all yours with them if you want anyone to actually play you at the store

Milky Moor posted:Haha, no way. The photo that made the rounds was a conversion piece. It doesn't look anything like these. These look like new marine models to me (and size-wise similar to the Deathwatch marines released last year, but it's hard to tell without seeing them next to a current model). They're even being painted as part of an existing faction (and not a "whole new faction of sigmarmarines).

To be totally fair Third Edition was a similar break where all existing books and several models and entire armies were invalidated. Hell it's where we get the term squatting from. It was also one of the better editions of the game. Now it's easy to say that GW had a lot more talent working for them at the time and you can point to names like Andy Chambers where that's impossible today. But at the same time I think I heard that GW stopped putting names on things because weirdos on the internet got creepy and violent. So just maybe everything won't be terrible. But it will be incredibly overpriced and I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Jeb Bush 2012 posted:nah it will be terrible Yeah. I played 4e and I think WM had just come out around then. I liked the aesthetics but not so much the giant pieces of metal you could put in a sock and use as a bludgeon. I still have the Harbinger of Menoth from a clearance sale years ago and while I want to paint it someday, I'm afraid of it shattering while taking it to a painting competition.
