Rulebook Heavily posted:Right now I'm more interested in hearing how the random objective cards pan out. So far I've heard nothing in between either praise for how fun they are or total slams for how they replace player actions with a deck of cards as the determiner of victory. They are going to be the real test of seventh edition, I think. I played a game with the cards tonight, and it was pretty good for most of it, but one or two of the cards were a little over the top. There's one that gets you D3 kill points for killing their warlord, on top of the point you already get, and then still gives you the points even if you killed him in some earlier turn. That's a bit too random. Another one gave D3+3 points for dominating all 6 objectives (easier now that everything is scoring) which is right and fine because it's really hard to do, but it's also a bit of insult to injury because if you're down to the point where the other guy can cover all 6, you're probably hosed anyhow. It took what was already a win (not for me) and made it a less fun win. Also, the change to fortifications giving them hull points is pretty huge. It means that a couple of squads of lascannon HWTs or, say, a squad of meganobz can wipe out the Strongpoint in a single round. Which is fine, but it also sets off the vortex missiles inside, which is also hilarious and fine, but not everyone will feel that way when their 550 point building goes up. I did have a commissar shoot down a Dakkajet with a bolt pistol though, so I really won the game in the end. Fix fucked around with this message at 07:48 on May 28, 2014 |

ghetto wormhole posted:Paging discount_bees to the 40k thread! This needs to be illustrated. I was using this model:  For his service he has been given the name Heresy Ford. His great glory came after escaping the collapse of his bunker by vortex explosion through an escape hatch alongside a single melta guardsman. The timely exit put them unchallenged on a scoring objective that had the skyfire nexus, denying the objective to the orks and taking it for themselves. They took full advantage and downed the nearby plane (Heresy did not actually need the nexus, rolling sixes). Then they were run down by a skorcha wagon with deffrolla. He ordered the guardsman to death or glory it and it exploded. Then they died as the deffrolla murdered them for standing there. He will live on.

e: ^^^^^ Those all seem pretty cool. Oh, something else about the tactical cards I forgot about last night: They should have included cards for Slay the Warlord and Linebreaker and First Blood, because using the cards themselves to track the score would be useful. The same goes with the psychic deck: they should have put an extra card with the Perils chart in there.

serious gaylord posted:I think this is where you confusion is. You seem to equate casual players as people who 'Don't know what they're doing, and when told otherwise their ego stops them from listening to me and thus being a better player.' You also seem to think that 'casual' players seem to think they deserve to win because they've spent money on the models they have. This is where you're going wrong. It also depends on what it is you're after winning. The irony about winning sportsmanship awards (and the accompanying prizes) is that you're not allowed to brag about winning sportsmanship awards (and the accompanying prizes) despite getting the same amount of recognition (and prizes) as the best general.

Panzeh posted:I always found it funny that only in a 40k tournament will you see "sportsmanship awards", like they need some special incentive to get people not to be dickwads. I mean, it's there in Flames of War too, but it strikes me as really odd. Sure, but you don't win Sportsman awards just by not being a dick. You do so by making fun games for your opponent, whether they be someone who is not necessarily good at the game, brought a sub-optimal list, or is a genuine facecrusher who got beat by other facecrushers in the first two rounds and is having a bad day because they're out of the running. Because if it's all about the winners then the majority of games played in a tournament are immaterial if you can't have a good time.

spacegoat posted:Epic: Armageddon is an amazing ruleset and the community that's been keeping it alive and updated has done a fantastic job. It, BFG and Blood Bowl have (or had) great fan support that evolved the rules rather than re-wrote them. Anyone remember the leaked 6th (or was it 5th? gently caress I'm getting old) edition stuff that turned out to be completely fake, but everyone was excited about? I want something like that. If you want that as a starting point, I still have a copy of it.

His GK landraider just rolled a 6 on the perils table after throwing all his dice to cast sanctuary (and it passed) thankfully that was his only unit left, a LR with a 2++ and fleshbane/armorbane, this is both dumb and hilarious.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Yeah, I REALLY don't like the new codex organization. I only have the ebook version of the Guard book right now, but compared to the old one actually trying to find point costs, upgrades, and statlines is just intensely frustrating. Even when I have access to the physical book, having to flip between two different sections of the book to hash out a list is just needlessly frustrating. Not to mention being told to refer to the main book for information on my army's most basic weapons. That they continue to put ten pages of model shots between the section that tells you what things cost and the section that tells you what things do is the dumbest thing in the world. Stick it after the fluff and just do rules for god's sake.

JerryLee posted:Also, in general (not just ghetto wormhole) is there an actual competing hypothesis for why they'd keep the full codex under wraps for an additional week after putting out the models? Is there only one caravan's worth of camels for them to send the packages out on and they have to make a round trip and reload? Because they get to send you twice or three times as many emails this way. It triples the amount of news they have.

JerryLee posted:Not a bad answer. Here's a follow-up question: why not then release the codex first and let the customers spend a week or two getting hype for the new plastic (perhaps pre-ordering it)? Because they'd rather you buy plastic during the hype before you buy the codex and realize you hate it or just hear reviews that it's bad. Once you own new units you're invested and more likely to think better of the book anyway out of confirmation bias.
