As far as I'm aware, Celestine takes on the one with more topknots than arms, and beats him, but gets pretty hosed up in the process and was last seen recuperating, ready for the next End Times novel

This horrendous poo poo is 80 pounds, or for some unknown reason $220 loving dollarydoos, because what's an exchange rate? I could get 2 of everything here for $244 dollarydoos and cover 2/3 of a table with an infinitely better looking attempt at the same Eldar ruins concept, as just one example

He's the plainest, most boring, most vanilla primarch, from the Ultramarines, and he's the guy half the Marine players hate because Matt Ward's fiction turned him into the 'liege lord' of every marine, more beloved than any other primarch, even their own sometimes.

Vyper uses the ring mount like the Wave Serpent, while War Walkers and HWPs use the slot mount. Seems pretty stupid when the weapons are otherwise all the same.Irate Tree posted:Also, plastic Aspects when? lol never. Aspects are gonna get squatted, just you watch.

That's like suggesting that if Dominos bought your local independent pizza joint, they'd start making good pizzas, when in reality they'd gut it, and turn it into a normal Dominos outlet selling those lovely grease disks they call pizzas for $5

They're $5 down here, and they got pinged in the media this week for breaking all kinds of labor laws, ie because corporate declared that wages could not be more than 27% of profits in a fortnight, managers were ordered to go back through the books and remove hours people had already worked, so they didn't get paid for them. Also scamming them out of penalty rates, paying below minimum wage, etc, all while making $600 million profit pa for the shareholders and putting everyone else out of business with the $5 pizzas.

Metal is not easier to work with, it's stupid, too heavy, doesn't glue properly, and paint comes off of it way too easily just by touching it while trying to move it to varnish it, especially on geometric edges. It's far and away the worst mini material. Styrene plastic is absolutely the king of minis and model kit making. Also pinning is not easy, it's hard as gently caress to get a tiny little drill bit to line up on a tiny little joint on a tiny little piece of mini when neither the part nor the drill stay steady because I'm not a neurosurgeon, and the drill always misses, goes in off angle, or goes too far.

Leperflesh posted:Just to be clear, Styrene plastic is king, but metal is far better than restic. If you have never had to work with restic, count yourself lucky. I've used styrene plastic, resin, restic of several formulas, and metal, and I rank metal the worst of the lot. The only use I accept for metal is in 15mm single piece minis, like flames of war infantry, but even then plastic is better. Gravitas Shortfall posted:The point is that you shouldn't have to pin because multipart metal kits are a terrible idea.

Never played it, jut know of it; review says it uses alternate activations, but armies are constructed form multiple groups called helixes, and when you activate one unit, you have to activate every other unit in the same helix before you can use one in another helix

I've been looking at Ironjawz models because I like their look (studio paint scheme sucks admittedly) and getting the urge to build an army but the litigating of the terrible terrible rules in this thread is helping to talk me off the ledge. Another lost goon saved!  The death thread recommendation is to find some Ork minis you like, and use them to play Kings of War.

mcjomar posted:I haven't even installed yet. I was doing ok on my second try, then I lost my only captured city while doing a super important quest battle, and it was subsequently defended so strongly I couldn't take it back; then while going for a weaker city some beastmen walked right up to me, and apparently that's an ambush  which resulted in my troops getting loving whipped. They then auto-retreated in the direction of my ex-city, at which point the defenders left en masse, because it was their turn before my next one, and ambushed the remnants and lol gently caress if I didn't just quit so I can go back to my last save tomorrow.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:was your army in forched march? I went my max move distance if that's what you mean, didn't know that meant I could be auto ambushed. Went back to an earlier save, and now I've managed to conquer Reikland, though really the defenders in the final city easily had the strength to break my siege at any time, they just never tried. I'm guessing I now need to conquer all of the other provinces I can see in order to reform the Empire, before moving on to the unmarked swirly poo poo beyond those coloured borders. Atlas Hugged posted:God gently caress Games Workshop and their loving toxic culture. A guy posted a gorgeous Ork army on the FLGS Facebook group and I asked if he'd be interested in playing some Firefight with them as proxying a Marauder army with an Ork one should be pretty straightforward. He replied that he wasn't interested in mixing minis and that "one man's meat was another man's poison". I think the saddest part is that he'll be able to find a game of 40k any time he wants no problem, when really with that attitude he deserves to sit alone at a set out table while everyone else plays other games.

The rules for Warpath are up for preorder with an April 22 ship date, available in a Warpath + Firefight + Sourcebook compendium for 30 brexit dollars, which is pretty good, or available in 15 brexit dollar singles and the 50 or 100 brexit dollar starter sets. New vehicles aren't up yet, but I expect the standard Mantic discounted triples to return in the near future, I figure they're rebuilding stock. I have the PDFs for loan if anyone wants to read with intent to buy on liking them. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Mar 9, 2017 |

Atlas Hugged posted:This is why I like Deadzone. You can learn to play in about 5 minutes. Also Mantic are doing a skirmish game later this year on KS, alternately referred to as Fantasy Deadzone or not-Mordheim. Combining the factions/minis (plus new hard plastic troop sprues funded with it) from Kings of War and the pedigree of Deadzone as a ruleset should make for a good skirmish game, but it won't be at retail until 2018.

Not a viking posted:Finally a place to use the old mordheim ruins! Amongst other things no doubt! And to answer the... naysayers before they ask, yes it's another Mantic KS; yes, they really could fund the development and printing of the new rulebook out of pocket, and even some new resin/metal characters they can now produce in house, but the real reason they're going to KS is to use the preorder money to fund the production of as many new/replacement hard plastic troop sprues for Kings of War as they think they can get, and probably some terrain as well. Hard plastic moulds are expensive, small companies can't pay for them without a pre-production cash injection (preorder/bank loan/crowdfunding) etc

They didn't need to, you just take the same rules and scale down the measurements accordingly, or for a full sized table you just put lots of tiny minis in the regular sized bases.
