MikeCrotch posted:I thought the profits boost was almost entirely due to licensing revenue, and that model sales were still not doing very well? The last earnings report actually did call out the weak pound as a big revenue source. For example at the current conversion the Burning of Prospero was selling for 95 pounds(or $115 US) in England and $150 US (or 123 pounds) in America.

Atlas Hugged posted:I'm sure that's it too, but the previous Deadzone edition put way more emphasis on the Plague and they feel like an afterthought in the fluff now rather than the main focus and I'm totally cool with that because the Plague are stupid. Give it time, they were sidelined only because the hard plastic basic troops were part of the Warpath KS not the Deadzone one. Mantic is gearing up for a heavy Plague push this year. That is, unless you decide to kickstart the next edition this year too.

Oof, it's hard to tell if the Thuuls are good models, the paint job is pretty bad. The Gigas look like lumpy blobs of play dough. I like the tidal elementals, especially the sea creatures along for the ride.

Not to skip a chance to jump on GW but if that's the source of the "They're changing the name of the Eldar" rumor it seems a little thin. Especially if, from that video, it looks like they're using Aeldari as a way to differentiate the Eldar of today with the Eldar from before the schism.

Irate Tree posted:I can't remember, was there even an explanation for why there's an 'ur' before gold? I mean, it's probably piss poor but was there? It's a real life mystic thing. Ur was one of the very first cities in recorded human history so Ur-"object" tends to be used to denote its status as a primal or original form. So Fyreslayers collect Ur-Gold because they are the Ur-Vomit Encrusted Tiny Bears.

The simplest fix, and it's the one that Deadzone, Malifaux and now Gangs of Commoragh use, is that you keep a standard point value for the campaign games. More experienced models with better gear cost more to field, so that you can't just always field your most powerful dudes against any team you come up against.

TKIY posted:New Hordes army? Basically it's Alice McGee's fairytales. There's more than a few comparisons to Malifaux's Neverborn that got the Warmahordes thread defensive about but aren't unwarranted. Personally I'm kind of torn. The models themselves are good but the paint jobs are a bit too pastel for the setting so that, even though they fit into the Iron Kingdoms setting nicely, they feel counter to the look and feel of Warmahordes. I get the gut feeling that if Privateer Press' Descent clone was more successful we'd be seeing them as as an expansion to that instead. That said, the center piece warcaster is Not-Baba Yaga riding a robotic chicken hut, which is awesome.

kingcom posted:Also don't casinos regularly throw out their dice just in case any of that poo poo starts put some kind of bias into the random rolls. They're machine shaven anyway but from what I understand that still means decks of cards and dice are regularly thrown out just to make sure (speaking of if you're a casino dealer how do I get my hands on old/used casino dice cause goddamn that poo poo is way more expensive than buying new, assuming they dont scrap them to make sure nobody brings them in later). Generally speaking, they'll retire cards after a single day and dice after a week. They don't throw them out but will stamp big holes in the center and either sell them in the gift shop or donate them to local retirement communities/churches.

Atlas Hugged posted:Can we talk about RPGs and stuff in this thread too? I know we go off on tangents about game design a lot and I think there's fertile ground in discussing RPGs. Anyway, I got into a stupid Facebook discussion about DnD editions and everything positive I had to say about 4e was met with the response that 5e did the same things but better. Not having any experience with 5e, I couldn't really say. So to fill in my own knowledge gaps, I looked through the 5e PHB and what I saw didn't impress me. Not to be flip but the op of the 5th edition thread has a full break down of the differences compared to 3rd and 4th. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3647634&perpage=40 The biggest sin, for me, from 5th is that is goes back to every class having its own fun to play scale from 2nd and 3rd that 4th was able to avoid. Casters start out with limited abilities that quickly balloon while what you're doing as a level 1 fighter largely stays the same straight to 20. If you want a game that does everything that 4th was able to accomplish but better try 13th Age.

adhuin posted:I'd rather have a skirmish level game than massed ranks game. Well that also announced they're rebooting the setting all the way to before the scorpion coup, which was also the time period that the rpg launched with. This could let the game breath a bit before they get to the clan wars and any miniature game associated with it.

Chill la Chill posted:This is what my friend and I thought and we assumed this was a reasonable place to try and play some 40k. Was going to split the starter and use them for skirmish games and maybe a 40k game once in a blue moon. Guess not. We both wanted the plague guys too so we're probably better off this way. I imagine that half will sell for a lot cheaper on ebay. That drone is gorgeous. I believe they've said the data slates in the indexes will be on the website just not the granular points values. It's just that going forward any new releases will be inside the box or codex only.

Ashcans posted:I'm pretty sure GW had started giving every race a big gribbly before the colossals hit. There was that period where orcs got the huge spider, DE got their hydra, TK got the huge sphinx thing. All of those are more analogous to battle engines in PP. $50-60 dollar heavy hitter anchors to your army. Though those things have been a center piece for WH Armies ever since I got into the game the first time back in the 90s with most factions being able to take dragons, giants or steam tanks. PP definitely started putting out gargantuans and collosi before GW did. And both companies have the same problem with them, giant $130 centerpieces that are a bitch to transport anywhere and each one is either hobbled by bad rules to be near useless or so powerful they can handle whole Armies by themselves. My only real experience is with GW, Infinity, PP and Malifaux. The individual models all tend to be priced similarly, it's just that the last three's games can all be played with way fewer models than GW. One thing I can appreciate with 8th is that while troops, usually an armies' cheapest option (money wise) stayed the same for points value, everything else has had their points value increased lowering the bar for entry and making game sizes smaller.

anti_strunt posted:As has been repeatedly stated in the 40K thread this does not necessarily follow. If you wish to play at old point levels, you'll need fewer models, but if you wish to play at old army sizes you just increase the points. Well it's an interesting situation since the trend since 3rd edition is that every new edition point values have gone down, not up. And ever since 2nd 1500- 2000 point games have been the staple so it bears to be seen which way the game will go. Also, note that I was talking about the bar for entry, I.e. The size of a force a new player needs to begin playing games. A start collecting box and a troop+transport bundle can get most Armies to the new 1000 point mark and playing games. Most players aren't going to refuse to play at that level just because they have more models than necessary.
