TheChirurgeon posted:I know that when I want advice about getting back into a game, the people I want to hear from are the people who don't play and aren't interested in said game Despite 20 years of playing this terrible game I shouldn't post about it because I'm not in denial about its current state or looming future state. Gotcha. Encouraging people to spend their money on a game that may not be recognisable and armies that may not exist in a few months is a real dick move.

Ghost Hand posted:Its similar to the GW is going to be sold/purchased.

You sure showed the zero people itt who were saying that. Ghost Hand posted:I KNOW this is not the "End Times" (I suppose based on how you want to define it) What does this even mean?

Fine. Let's say that the green stuff(just happening to be visible in multiple different spots where it's obvious something has been smoothed out with green stuff...something GW doesn't do anymore, since they do CAD sculpts rather than hand sculpts) is really just compression artefacts. Explain the two different colored bits of plastic? The legs themselves are one color, the feet are another. And if you look close, you can actually see the sheen from a glue join on the knee with the "stormcast greave" bit where it looks like someone shaved the 'arch' from another kit and attached it to this model. Explain the fact that the boltgun is the one from the Devastator Sergeant, attached to the back of a bolt pistol with the revolver magazine from the Techpriest Dominus' Luminagen Pistol mashed on top of it? The forearm holding the Bolt Pistol is the Clavis from a Deathwatch Watch Master. I built several of them and know that bit well. They removed the dataspike bit and added a pistol hand in lieu of the standard arm. Also, look at the torso. It appears to be part of a Centurion model(specifically torso part #6), cut down and mated to something else for the gorget. You can also again see what appears to be green stuff cabling underneath of it. The pack looks to be from a Mark IV plastic. And really, the only thing he blacks out is whatever's mounted on the backpack? Call it whatever you want, I'm calling bull.

Warpath: Firefight handles mishaps by allowing the opponent to redeploy the unit within 12" of the target point. It's a good compromise between no risk and ohgodmyunitisdestroyedthankyoudice. In Epic: Armageddon, units never scatter but each takes suppression on a roll of a 1, which works great in the context of that game.

TheChirurgeon posted:gently caress that too. I'm already paying for the Deep Strike by paying points for the models and not being able to assault for a turn. I don't need the extra randomness on top of it  In FF you can assault the turn you deep strike.

Was that in the middle of battle cannon probability chat? Cause I skipped like 5 pages there. I think I figured out what I don't like about the Nurgle stuff and the newer GW aesthetic in general. There's not really a lot of room to customise or convert anything. In addition to being so busy they have all this extraneous detail built in to the sculpt. Kinda like how they went through that period of not drawing anything that wasn't represented by or posed like a miniature you could buy.

I can hack the formatting in the 40k example, ugly as it is, it's more that I need one page per unit of my army, and many of my rules are such that my opponent will need them explained.

Played a game last night and we had a hard time understanding the cover rules. It reads to us like you only get cover if you're in it, but not behind it. Is that right? Like, if I'm shooting through a wood youn don't get poo poo but if you're COMPLETELY inside it (and infantry) you do? Also, if I've got a 20 man squad behind LoS blocking terrain but one dude is visible, can my opponent theoretically wipe out all 20 with a single salvo of good shooting due to that one dude?

Yeah, and I don't see how one is harder to work out than the other, since you're just drawing a straight line. Edit: ^^^^ Sssh, no snark. You don't want to be accused of hating the game now. ^^^^

WhiteWolf123 posted:I agree with you that sight to the squad that's entirely obstructed by cover should provide a cover save. Enough so that discussing it with your local playgroup would be something worth looking into. Yeah, but then you run into the problem of house-ruling the game and limiting your options outside of your group. Mine were talking about making each phase alternating activations, since it's more or less how the Fight phase goes and tends to make other games more enjoyable. But the house-rule rabbit hole goes deep. Mantic are encouraging house-rules and reporting the more successful ones back for future FAQs/errata. If GW had a similar mechanism I'd be down.
