If I am looking at buying Blackstone Fortress without the miniatures on ebay and the listing says: "All accessories of the games included except miniatures, explorers cards stats and mallex card stats." Is the game still playable? Don't you need the explorers cards stats and mallex card stats?

moths posted:I do, but I've not yet gotten to play. How can I help? I was looking for pictures of the explorer cards so I could make my own using a template I found on Yak Tribe. I bought a copy of Blackstone Fortress on eBay but it lacked the miniatures the seller kept the explorer cards as well. Luckily a friend of mine pointed out that any of the assets on a Tabletop Simulator game are available to be accessed on your computer. So I actually have top-quality images of those cards and have since printed out my own. Thank you for offering to help.

Has anyone tried playing Necromunda using Grimdark Future: Firefight? I'm interested in playing retro-munda as the ever growing list of books and models for the current Necromunda is a real turn off. I want a game I can play, not a meta to chase. I know that Yaktribe has a community book, but I love One Page Rules boiled down rules. Just curious how OPR works with Necromunda campaign rules. Or what other Goons have tried.

Took a look at the new Necromunda rules. 20+ gangs? Secret objective cards? 600+ pages of rules? Retromunda here I come. 160 pages across two books. I'm glad people like the 2017 edition, but it looks like peak GW. So many things to keep on top of. Yikes.

Lumbermouth posted:Goddammit I just want an easy way to get into Necromunda without having to buy like 6 things. https://onepagerules.com/portfolio/grimdark-future-firefight/ Grimdark Future: Firefight is a single-page skirmish game set in a war-torn sci-fi future, designed to be easy to learn but hard to master. The game is played with 5-10 models per warband, giving you small battles that can be played in 30-45 minutes. Players put together a warband and fight over objective points to control the battlefield, using skirmish tactics to win. The game features alternating activations and brutally quick combat, keeping both players engaged at all times.

Rumors are saying this is another limited run box. Dear god GW, just make enough to go around. Are their any good leads on the cost of the box? I'm actually tempted to pick it up and sell of the guardsmen and game components, only keeping the orky stuff. I guess we will see.

moths posted:Holy poo poo 3D printing makes Specialist Games viable in a big way. One trick that I have found very useful for keeping all of your printed minis in scale is to have a single figure that you drop onto any build plate as a comparison. A friend of mine bought a model from hero forge and I use him as my scale figure to figure out if the models I'm printing need to be scaled up or down. Once you have an army that you have printed and you are happy with pick one figure or row of figures from that army and compare all other models that you purchase to print against them. It's a great trick. 😉

Guildencrantz posted:Guess I'm in a small minority of Necromunda fans in being... not really hyped for Ash Wastes. Though this may be because the underhive vibe was one of the major things that originally drew me in and terrain building is now my favorite hobby thing, so "vehicles and emptier tables" puts me off. I'm not a fan of size creep either. Vehicles in a skirmish game isn't my vibe. I can see the appeal, but I want my small games to be small.

Lumbermouth posted:Jesus, Ash Wastes is going to be 300 loving dollars. Given that I'm waiting/trying to get my friends into Necromunda as a cheaper alternative to regular wargaming, I might just wait and see if the rulebook is fully errataed and pick it up from eBay piecemealers. You may want to look at alternative games that you can just slap a coat of Necromunda over to make it work. Horizon Wars Zero Dark Space Weirdos Planet 28 The One Page rule set which has a Necromunda clone. Most can be bought for cheap and maybe you can get your game and not need a $300 box set, errata, White Dwarf lists etc. Just a thought.

Crackbone posted:Am I wrong in thinking Ash Wastes price is consistent with other stuff vs. other GW box sets? Looks like it’s got overall more than the Kill Team box in it. You are completely correct, but the issue is their luxury pricing has finally pushed me out. The last thing I bought after a decade of not buying GW was the Octarus box. I got it at 20% off and sold the Krieg for a good price and still feel like the orks and terrain were fairly pricey. I will be shocked if another kit or box tempts me based on current prices.

Lumbermouth posted:Do they have the detailed campaign rules that Necromunda has? If Stargrave has something similar where you're tracking specific dudes and narrative progress, I'm in. I'm trying to bolt the campaign rules on to Space Weirdos personally. I like the dice system SW uses but it is a very light game that lacks much beyond pick up play. So I'm taking the necromunda campaign and just tagging it on as the after action part of a game. We will see how it goes.

The bane blade track system isn't really big enough for what I'm envisioning. I want a proper 12"x24" footprint and at least one storey of sector mechanicus high (5"). Trying to figure out how I could mount a tectonic drill and/or a crane onto it. It sounds awesome. I'm glad folks are loving the current direction of Newcromunda. I have officially hit the phase of my gaming life where skirmish is it. Large scale war games take way too long to play and I can't be arsed painting dozens and dozens models for a game, especially vehicles.

Chill la Chill posted:Friends and I are planning on splitting a box of Necromunda. We wanted the ash waste box, which has terrain, 2 armies, and rules/etc. I’m a bit confused on what is included with the rules and terrain and therefore how to price it, but what would be a fair breakdown of the $300* box if you were to split it into terrain, army+cards, army+cards, rules/templates dice? Split the cost 50/50 you each get one faction and co-own the remainder. If one of you gives up on the game the other buys the co-owned components for 25% of the original purchase price of the box.

Hihohe posted:I really dont get this You aren't supposed to make your skirmish game go really fast down the highway. That's a different game. The models are amazing. The issue I take is the inevitable upscaling of everything. How am I supposed to play a game on multi-tiered terrain with four levels when some joker shows up on a dune buggy? Everyone is free to play whatever games they want to play I just get exhausted at the meta of continued upsizing. It's like looking at earlier editions of 40K. The number of models needed to field an army is laughable compared to what is now expected nowadays. It's okay, it's just a side effect of getting old. You want your model smaller and your games smaller. It's a fact.
