RE: The Blood of Kings chat Why does Magnus team up with Stryker to stop Vinter? I thought Magnus was on Vinter's side. I actually haven't read much fluff outside of the Mk II rulebook and the Cygnar Faction Book, so I'm pretty behind.

Yeah I think the idea is that Old Witch 2 is Grymkin and Old Witch 3 is Khador, BUT they both use the same model and cards for both the Grymkin and Khador version are going to be in the box

I just played a game proxying Grymkin, 25pts, vs Cryx My list was The Heretic, a Skin and Moans, a Rage Cager, max Dread Rot, and the Battle Engine. Things I've learned: I haven't really played a Hordes faction so I left the Rage Cager maxed out on Fury which meant I couldn't transfer. I've never used a battle engine so Barathrum one rounded it  Dread Rot are very good. The Heretic is loving stupid and with fury one rounded Barathrum A lot of the Arcana are pretty fuckin' OP, especially the "Heal all Grymkin models when another model is destroyed". It's too bad I used it when my Rage Cager died, which died AFTER my Skin and Moans. At least the Heretic benefited from it. I'm very bad at Hordes. Looking over it, though, there's some potential for HELLA OP poo poo in this faction and I'm sure it's gonna get toned down.

It's open information. Being able to tailor against your opponent can be pretty nasty, but I just took the Arcana that said "Heretic". Each lesser Arcana seems to be made with a particular Warlock in mind, but they can be used by any Warlock and they are certainly quite situational.

Wait, I was being constructive with my Grymkin post. What I meant to say is that I lost so obviously Cryx is super duper OP and Grymkin suck and need to be buffed and furthermore, (Seriously though they're real fukkin good, also lol @ me for being like 12 hours late with this bad joke shitpost)

Monpoc looks pretty sweet. I see what people are saying about that Riot Quest trailer. I can't say I'm excited for it but I can't say I'll pass on it, because I still don't know anything about it other than it's cartoony and probably small-scale skirmishy. Neither of these are inherently bad (or inherently good, I suppose).

quote:I don't see having tight rules an straight forward play as pure competitive though. This is something that drives me up the loving wall in online miniatures gaming discussion; a lot of 40K players seem to think that balanced rules mean the game is only focused on the serious business competitive side of things, when balanced rules are good for all players. They have this "Don't worry about winning, play what you want!" attitude, but if what I want to play is, say, 7th edition Iyanden Eldar, well, suddenly I'm a cheesy WAAC powergamer because of the lovely unbalanced rules. Certainly no game is perfectly balanced, but one of the things I love about Warmachine is that PP seems to at least try.

koreban posted:I don’t think anyone was honestly complaining about game balance. I also liked that for the most part, I could play any caster in my army and make a list capable of competing. Yeah, that's a bummer, but I still think it's a false dichotomy. There's certainly a "casual" vs "competitive" attitude, but just because I'm playing casually doesn't mean I'm not going to play my best. That can happen in any game, though Page 5 definitely made things a lot worse with a lot of players. Obviously if I'm playing a newer player, that's a totally different game (err, so to speak), and I'm certainly going to take my time and explain everything I'm doing and why I'm doing it, and offer suggestions if the other player wants them, and in a casual game I'm definitely more likely to play something unusual and/or something I've never tried before (though it doesn't matter what I play because I am Very Bad at this game and all other games. EDIT: My issue is more with the GW "Just play whatever you want and have fun! Unless it's a broken unit, then don't play that or you are a Bad Person" attitude which is, ironically, made much more difficult than it should be by the piss-poor balance of the game. EDIT EDIT: I also didn't mean anyone in this thread specifically, it's just something I see come up whenever people want to discuss balance in GW games on forums like DakkaDakka. Mostly it's a real pet peeve of mine and any time I see anything vaguely related to it I feel compelled to rant like a madman about it

Excelsiortothemax posted:I heard rumours that Privateer Press might go public in a bit and is looking to get bought out by Fantasy Flight. Mind you this is all based on Matt Wilson doing the mini crate for FF and allegedly a message from Pagani saying that while he is on paternity leave if they sell the company he isn’t going with? I sincerely hope this isn't true. I actually really like FFG and their products, but I fear that they'd do their whole thing with the special dice and zillions of upgrade cards, and I definitely don't want that for WMH.

For_Great_Justice posted:My favorite are the ones that decry competative play then bring something hardcore to a "friendly game". Yeah 40K is pretty garbage and is one of the few games I've played extensively where "playing for fun" and "Hardcore jerkbaggery" is determined by attitude AND list instead of attitude alone.

Mystery box came in today, Retribution. Battlebox, Gorgon, Invictors, Colossal, Token set. TBH I hadn't even considered Ret as a possibility, my entire thought process the whole time was hoping for either Skorne, Legion, or Cygnar, but being happy with anything that wasn't Cryx or Circle and being willing to settle for Khador, Menoth, or Trolls.

The Supreme Guardian really makes me want to play Skorne. I was actually hoping my second mystery box would turn out to be Skorne, but it was Cygnar, which is 100% a-ok since that's the faction I play and I don't own anything that came in the mystery box other than the Ironclad and Lancer in the Battlegroup box.

I just picked up both MonPoc starters. Didn't get to play today, but I probably will on Sunday. The models are super loving cool, IMO, and I like the gameplay videos I've seen, so I'm optimistic. I really can't wait for them to release more monsters, though, since I imagine playing the same two monsters against each other will get kind of old kind of fast.

Is there a MonPoc thread? I didn't see one but that doesn't mean it's not there. I played a game with both starter sets. It definitely should be played with more than just that. I think it'll be a lot of fun with more than one monster and five units for sure. Need to get more stuff!

Yeah they're gonna really need to hit it out of the park with Riot Quest to overcome that super-lovely trailer. On the other hand, Infernals and story progression and a campaign book and Molemen and Ape monsters  I played my first 2 monster 20 unit game of Monpoc tonight, which is a vast improvement over 1 monster and 5 units. The game is actually really fun and resource management is super important.

So Infernals. Looks interesting. The Masters are really cool. They said the Horrors would be more fragile than equivalent beasts/jacks, and they weren't kidding. But HOLY poo poo I am so into playing the Heart of Darkness theme. I hope that it actually works out and they don't have to scrap it.

That's a very valid point. I just really like the idea thematically. My main faction is Cygnar, anyway, so it's not like it'd be going too far out of my way to play Heart of Darkness sometimes. But yeah holy balls the Infernal masters are really loving cool, and I am going crazy over the Howlers. Like I don't even know which Master to start with.I'm leaning toward Zaateroth, but in my heart of hearts Omodamos calls to me because I enjoy applying brick to face.
