Hustlin Floh posted:The Russ actually was updated just a few years ago, it's just that they kept the same look for the most part. They updated the russ to be easier to put together! They also updated it to remove most of the customization pieces. Same with the Chimera. Not exactly a welcome upgrade. The new ork codex could be subtitled "25 point twin-linked missile buggies" so the fact that they didn't release a new kit for them is pretty stupid.

Ilor posted:[Inigo Montoyo] You keep using that word. I do no thing it means what you thing it means. [/Inigo Montoyo] Since the RPGers have to gently caress up every topic they touch (jesus, go back to the kickstarter thread) it's mostly true. While some systems are better than others, RPGs are basically non-confrontational between members so you should just take the ruleset you are given and make things up with the power of your imagination.

TKIY posted:Yeah so age of the emperor is happening. Detailed in the 40K thread but the first things they showed are lifted right from AoS. Too bad it looks like they might have lifted the close combat activation rules, which is the most counter-intuitive system I've ever had the displeasure of playing.

I went to the game store and instead of playing a GW game I played a game of Aetherium. It was fun, and my hounds won the game by running around like mad capturing objectives. RIP puppies. Maybe you should play a game you like. It would help you relax.

Atlas Hugged posted:The thing to remember though is that these guys weren't not spending money on GW because they were simply done buying models or armies. They weren't spending money because their armies were under supported and 8th edition was a mess of a game. These are the same people who went on to support all the Mantic Kickstarters or to chase item cards in X-Wing or to buy the Oldworld video games or to spend a billion dollars on Kingdom Death or to create an internet fan edit of Warhammer and to support all the small time miniatures companies making models for it or to etc, etc. If Age of Sigmar didn't happen I would still be playing Fantasy and buying a woodelf army. Instead I'm converting my Lizardmen army into a Forces of Nature army for Kings of War, along with buying the Mantic Niads. Age of Sigmar means I'm never buying another GW army. I'll keep my Tyranids and Sisters (and Emp Child for 30k), but I was starting a mechanicus/necron army that I'm going to dump soon.

Terrible Opinions posted:Agreed GW shouldn't be praised for making very timid steps toward be better, just like EA shouldn't be praised if their newer games are technically less bad than Dungeon Keeper Mobile. It's like GW is EA and the other games are Yoko Taro being all like "why do they keep giving me money" and putting out gems like Nier. I've been playing Nier is what I'm saying.

So I'm thinking of getting rid of my Shael Han models for Wrath of Kings, and want to offer them here! I had all the factions from the kickstater (because I was insane) and already gave one of my friends the Hadross. I'm keeping Teknis and Goritsi. So, you want a poo poo load of models? Let me know, send me a PM, US only, final destination. The only stipulation is that you find a sucker and play a game and let us know how it is. Proxy, obviously, and the rules are free so there you go. Granted there are enough models that you can do a Shael Han versus Shael Han game at the smaller levels without duplicating models!

If you want to see random versus perfect information card games there is always Battlecon versus Exceed. It's not externally resource driven (see mana -> spells versus attacks-as-resources) but it is a good example of how minor changes can drive an entire different game.

In other "bad company" news it seems like Ninja Division/Soda Pop is continuing to poo poo the bed. First they sent a press email saying that they are breaking up with Prodos and the AvP kickstarter will be fulfilled by... magic fairy dust basically. Then they sent an email telling people to ignore it! Now there is a intellectual property dispute on the AvP game (that might not be new, who knows) and it seems like that was a waste of a kickstarter. SDE, one of their most popular games, is undergoing so much churn who knows how that will end up. They are changing up the brand, game modes, and model releases on a weekly basis. They have been focusing on Pet Parade, a minigame that nobody asked for, instead of Legends, which is what the kickstarter was actually funding. Relic Knights has the heaving anime breasts, but its rule system is going under an entire overhaul, including removing everything that made it unique! That's going over well so far. Literally. Their order of activation system and hand-of-cards system where good and made the system unique. It had its problems, of course, but nothing that couldn't be solved. So they decided to just dump them for a standard activation system and a flip system. They basically made their game poo poo Malifaux. Which is tough, cause Malifaux is a pretty drat good game. Massive backlash in the kickstarter of course. Rail Raiders, Way of the Fighter, Ninja All Stars: still kinda poo poo. This is what happens when mediocre game makers try to get into business. Internal drama, kickstarters to stay afloat, vastly shifting the established rules of their money making game systems...

Yeah, the marketing was horrendous. I always imagined that Anima would go away (since they had their own anime game to publish) but Hell Dorado was unique enough and was established enough as a ruleset that they could have worked on it without impact too many other things.

Sir Teabag posted:Pretty sure the Index idea was tacked on when they saw how bad the reception for Sigmar was, when it launched without points. They'll probably do the profiles and points better going forward because it won't be a reflexive panic move; at least for the units and armies that they continue to support. If you look at the absolute loving mess trying to figure out the points of a single model in your army, you are absolutely right they are just working towards dumping them. They can't even include the default equipment in the models! A Haruspex has three weapons, all unique, with two of them costing 0 points and 1 of them costing 11 points on a 267 point monster. It is like a car company not wanting to sell motorcycles, so they keep the motorcycles locked in the basement.

Wyrd does a thing where they offer an extra free model in packs if you buy them from a flgs. Their products can be easily obtained by asking your flgs for them. The problem is that they aren't big enough for stores to stock. Which is a shame.

I'm interested in that Runwars game, let me read a review of it! "Coming from Age of Sigmar in particular and being an avid player and fan of that game, it all just seems too cumbersome and weighted down with fiddly bits. Age of Sigmar is four pages of rules, your figures, whatever surface you are playing on, some terrain models, and a tape measure. Resolutions are all D6 based. All of the unit rules are on Warscrolls, which you can pull up on your phone. It's really a simpler game in terms of rules and physical components, but equally complex and deep. Maybe some folks think all of the extra stuff makes it more strategic or whatever, but I look at all of the clutter out on the table including the double dials you put out by your units and just kind of shrug. Yep, it's a Fantasy Flight Game. " ... "I'll not be trading in any of my Age of Sigmar armies for Runewars booster packs primarily because I think this game- which already seems destined for popularity- feels almost completely redundant with other games. It feels far too much like a "me too" product put on the market chiefly to appeal to three kinds of players. One is the massive X-Wing fanbase, who would likely prefer that this game were set in the Star Wars universe and featured land battles with AT-ATs and ranks of Stormtroopers rather than the embarrassingly bland Terrinoth setting. The second type is board gamers who are reluctant to play games that have tape measures and army books or have not gotten the memo that buying stacks of board games is just as expensive as buying a miniatures army. The third are players who are still (to speak quite frankly) stupidly aggrieved that Games Workshop smartly rebooted and streamlined Warhammer Fantasy Battles into Age of Sigmar. " The one thing consistently worse than GW? GW fans.

Rulebook Heavily posted:So 8th takes a ton of its skeleton from AoS, so why do I like it better than AoS? For me, it is that they didn't blow up 40k and make a completely new game. Otherwise shooting into combat, the random turn order, and the stupid picking CC system of AoS kills it. If it wasn't for the bonus you get in CC for charging in 40k I would drop it like a sack of potatoes. Such a stupid stupid system that actively punishes the player 50% of the time. DUMB. I joke about GW because, hey, Death Thread... but the CC resolution in AoS is one of the worse game designs I have ever seen.
