Can you add a link to organized play/Steamroller rules? The Steamroller rules include the Rumble Variant that uses a smaller 30x30 board, opposed to the standard 48x48. Other note: Cyriss has fewer casters and everything else. They will get new releases but they won't catch up to the main factions.

Pyronic posted:Well since there's a new thread i'll ask again here: I'm having trouble deciding between Circle and Cygnar for my first foray into Warmahordes. I know a surprising number of people who play both Cyngar and Circle. It seems like a popular combination. As far a your first faction goes, I'd say pick the one where you like the most different sub-themes. If that's about even interest, think about if the Focus or Fury mechanic sounds like more fun. If you really want a bunch of guns/shooting, go with Cygnar. Circle has a shooting game too but it's kind of Cygnar's thing. If there is anything in the battle box you want, just get the battle box. It's a really good deal. If you want to get something else first, do that. Who are you going to be playing with? If you want to join a local Journeyman league, then that has rules for advancing your army from the battle box up to 75 pts. You do have to start with the battle box though. If you're going to play with people who have full armies already, then shoot for 50pts of whatever you want. If you're going to play with a group of new players, you might want to keep an eye out for the two-player starter sets, whenever those come out. I think we know what's going to be in those so you can buy other stuff if you want to get started before they come out.

Pyronic posted:Its a new scene, my LGS is getting into Warmachine for the first time with mk3, there are players around that play at other stores about an hour away in different directions, a couple friends and regulars have gotten battlegroups, 2 khador, a menoth, a couple trollblood, a retribution, and a skorne so far afaik, but so far we pretty much will only have battlegroup boxes for a while. Yeah, sounds like you should stick with the starter. If you can't decide between your two options based on looks/themes, maybe there's a playstyle you like more? Or one you really hate. Have you played other minis games? What did you like or hate about your lists there?

Mr.Booger posted:so new edition, cards printed some time ago and errata already happening, is the minion deck safe to buy, or does it have alot of ones that might change? There hasn't been any mention of packaging decks with any future V2 cards. It sounds like the V2+ update cards will be in a pack of their own. I guess eventually V2 cards will make it into reprints of decks but no idea how that will be implemented.

Kithkar posted:I hate that I'm probably going to buy a battlefoam tournament bag. 75 bucks is kind of too good to pass up at that price. Is that the one that's supposed to be carry-on sized? I'm pretty sure I won't be flying with my minis but I've got too many to transport all at once. I'm going to need to figure something out. Getting something carry-on sized might not be a bad idea, just in case. Has anyone flown with a KR case, or I guess any other case? What size? How did it go? I did fly once with a small amount of minis in a Sabol case. It worked out but that was forever ago and that case is long gone.

KPC_Mammon posted:Try emailing them. A friend of mine couldn't figure out what he should pick up for his Menoth forces so he just contacted them directly. After telling them what he had they told him exactly what to pick up. It ended up working out great for him. Did he just send a list of what he wanted to foam up? I've got a Warmachine battlefoam bag for my Skorne and the little zip on extender for my mini Mercs. Plus the little Malifaux bag for my skirmish game problem. I like having all my stuff stored in foam but I'm out growing what I've already got. I don't really want to give battlefoam more money. The KR Aquila looks like what I would want if I go nuts on Guild Ball and don't want to evict my other skirmish stuff from their current home. I'm wishing I could have gone with KR from the beginning. It seems like the perfect solution for storage if you're going for a whole faction collection.

chutche2 posted:I have a pair of feldherr cases I use, and that's enough to carry 3 lists in pretty well. Neat. I've never heard of them before. Bookmarked for future reference. I cleared out some shelf space for stuff I can't fit in foam. I've accepted the fact that I should probably shuffle my stuff for the immediate future. I'm kind of sad that all these Skorne banners and flags I love so much are making my army a bitch and a half to transport. I could probably fit a whole additional tray of infantry if I de-flagged my beasts.

LordAba posted:They somehow written Exemplar Bastions Sanguine Bond ability worse as well. I'm pretty sure I know what they intend, but the way that it is written if you have 1 model take 5 damage you can choose to pass one point of damage to one model and only end up taking 1 point of damage. I'm guessing this isn't intended? I tried reading Sanguine Bond to get this result and I can't do it. I can see how you can misunderstand it this way but that doesn't make it RAW.

No matter how many people you get in a closed playtest, you're still going to get weird wording because that relatively small group of players totally know what those words mean and approved them, even if they don't agree with each other.

It's probably going to just be the caster, the cards and pin like they said on primecast. Oh. I didn't know they did collectors boxes before. We'll get Gastone eventually. Maybe in the first Merc book, fingers crossed.

The Bee posted:I took the quiz and looked up the recommended factions, which were basically a giant pile-up around 40%. Aesthetic-wise, I think I'm digging the Legion or Cygnar most. Cygnar's got a big, kind of exaggerated hunch profile that makes nice silhouettes, while Legion's got really nice ugliness to it and I love the stumpy little shredders to bits. Also, dragons. I find beasts a little easier to paint than jacks. I like painting organic stuff like skin, fur, hair, etc. better. But then again wings are a little harder to paint than, um, not wings?

WAR FOOT posted:Very true. I'm a sucker for 'sentient' robot factions that aren't terminator-esque. So, basically all bar Necrons. Do you want a Hordes faction so you can screw around with the fury mechanic? I know CoC functions a little differently than the rest of WarMachine factions but they still use focus. Do any of the MKIII starter boxes catch your eye?

WAR FOOT posted:Pretty much the only aesthetic I'm not huge on is Trollbloods. I was thinking if I was teaching someone the basics I'd just run the CoC with standard focus rules, regardless. Induction seems needlessly complex for a first time. If you get someone else interested, you could go in together on one of two player starters. They're going to be Cryx/Cygnar and Trolls/Skorne.

Aren't most Steamroller tournaments 2 lists anyway? It's been a while since I've been to one. It doesn't seem like 2 lists + Specialists needs that many more models than just 2 lists. Do you have to include Specialists if the tournament allows it? And do you have to bring the full points of Specialists if you do include them? If you don't have to use all your Specialists points, new players could still benefit from swapping out a solo or something.

Literally The Worst posted:whats the best way to store my foam trays full of stupid plastic monsters? i was going to use a comic book shortbox but i forgot how tight they are (like, the trays fit perfectly but there's no room on the sides to get out a tray at the bottom) You can run a strip of cloth or something under the foam trays so the ends of the cloth stick out over the edge of the box. Then you grab the ends and lift. Use an old t-shirt or sheet.

We used to use metal toolboxes and glue magnet sheet to the bottoms of our 40K minis back in high school. More than one person we know had their car broken into and their toolbox taken. Tools are expensive too. And drat that thing was heavy when full of old metal minis and mine only has they one top tray. One of my friends still uses one of those two drawer toolboxes for his WMH.
