JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:I feel like their main complaint was with the core game engine. The mechanics just aren’t that interesting and theres a universal optimal tactic. You don’t really make interesting decisions. Yeah, I watched the battle report they did for it and it didn’t seem terribly deep. It was mostly squating on objectives and trading some blows. The game was base three turns, if the score is tied at the end of three you go into extra turns until someone leads. Most of the models seemed to have 7-8 wounds but could maybe do 2-3 in any given turn.

Might be the objectives they had. Two games we played last night were hidden artifact (three treasures to pick up, only one is real) and burn and pillage (six objectives, burn one a turn if you hold it, first to burn four wins) and both games were rapid with a bunch of deaths. What are GMG doing that people aren't getting killed?

Complaining about releases overwhelming your ability to paint is peak privilege. Unless they're doing it in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Due to the take and hold objective they were sitting the big guys on points and skirmishing with the little ones. Oh and build comp too, the one group didn’t show up till the last turn on the opposite end of the board where the fighting was taking place.

Is there any chance the Warcry terrain is coming out separately or should I try to split a box with someone? E: Perfect, thanks. moths fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jul 31, 2019 |

The stuff in the starter? Likely not. Though there will be splits on ebay. The terrain packs, 1 available this Saturday, 1 available next Saturday and a third to come out later? None of the terrain in them is new.

Huh. It looks like the Garden of Morr also took a price hike, so it's probably smarter to just get the terrain as soon as people start opening boxes...

It does, and also the cardboard mat, but you're also only getting half of the old set for $90 USD. So it follows that after the initial WC box, the terrain will get similarly priced.

The 3rd terrain box is Azyrite ruins, not the stuff from the starter.

So maybe I'm looking at it wrong but it looks like to me the warcry terrain box has most of the old set, not half. Looks like you don't get a second statue and second gate - but there is still six mausoleums and some fences. Thundercloud posted:The 3rd terrain box is Azyrite ruins, not the stuff from the starter. Yeah, I was looking at the website and they list ruined city in the same place as the two scenery boxes but its just talking about the starter so I got confused and though that would be the third box.

I think I was looking at it wrong - I found an old unboxing review and the new set has all of the old one plus all the Warcry bits. The price is at $90, which is the same as the Sigmarite Mausoleum, which is the same kit as the old $60 Garden.

Well poo poo, this kit has had a very convoluted past. Sigmarite Mausoleum does indeed have more buildings for the same price as the Warcry version. Although at this point I'm pretty sure any guess I'd make about what that means for upcoming Warcry terrain as AoS releases would be wrong.

Gen Con preview today. Airplane game, Beastgrave and the next BloodBowl team - The Gwak'amoli Crater Gators (Lizardmen). Airplane game looks alright but my group has a fair few games as it is. Lizardmen team looks dope.

TINY PLANES TINY PLANES TINY PLANES   LIZARDMEN LIZARDMEN LIZARDMEN     I have been waiting a long time for a new lizardman team. I really like the saurus and the skinks are adorable if a little cartoony compared to the WHFB plastics. Curious to see what the chameleon skink does, it's not like lizardmen really needed a positional. Also, that turn counter rules.

They're smugly rage inducing, which is exactly what they should be. gently caress I'm pumped. I wish they'd step up the BB release schedule. 4 teams/year when there are over 20 teams is garbage, especially when they're only 6-7 models and a couple of tokens.

Curious to see what the chameleon skink does, it's not like lizardmen really needed a positional. Also, that turn counter rules. I'm gonna assume it's some kind of catcher or ball-handler. They don't really need this but it could sure help with Lizards in short leagues.

I found out that unsold mags are photographed and claimed for credit with GW. The mags are then supposed to be destroyed (similar to how a bookstore rips covers and pages off a book.) I've got a local store that sells back issues for $2, but it's a few months after the fact and it's hit or miss.
