Yeah you can cut off that pony tail part of the beard and green stuff that foot to a rock and it'll look better while not sacrificing the action of the model. I picked up Gangs of Commoragh and the system is actually pretty clean and simple. If they use the campaign rules for Necromunda and Mordheim it could fix a lot of problems people had with the first editions. Gangs still level up and gain new gear, but each game has a point cost and better gear and models cost more and special skills can only be used once a match for each time the model has the skill.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:That ogre is really cool. It's almost enough to make me want to pick up a human team. It's a shame the models in the box were so lacking in variety of poses. I thought ogres could play for a couple of different teams, that's why its one of the few big guys they're doing in plastic. Irate Tree posted:Don't know if this is the right place to ask but; has anyone played Gangs of Commorragh? How does it play? Play pretty good, all rolls are done with 2d6 for greater stat variation and instead of rolling to wound after a successful hit you roll to kill. If you succeed the model is dead and removed, if you fail it takes a wound. Models don't have a max wound stat but for every wound they have they get -1 to pilot rolls and +1 to your opponents kill rolls. Makes it a faster, deadlier game without the 'we rolled all these dice and nothing happened' that 40k has. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Feb 26, 2017 |

Well we already know the next team is goblins in April, I'm thinking Dark Elves. The skull is very similar to the executioners helms and and it looks like it has a helm wing like a few of the de helms have.

Kaza42 posted:Charge hits first means that initiative is nearly useless, when it was already not a great stat. The article says that Initiative is gone. They're probably going with the you go I go method from AoS, just that charge attacks are made and resolved in the movement phase and the charging unit doesn't get to attack in the combat phase.

No you're not, models already holding a ball is one of the more common complaints I've heard about this edition. This one is a little more egregious since it doesn't really make a lot of sense if you use him for a team without goblins. I guess you can paint the goblin as a ref to make it a funny little tableau but I think GW is just kind of over correcting over the concern that they have to make the new models exciting to get people that have been playing the game for 20 years to buy new models.

Atlas Hugged posted:Apparently it's a really good skirmish game and the AI zombie rules were good enough that they got ported into Deadzone for some solo and campaign missions. It's also selling really well and has fully justified Mantic pursuing it by this point. Zombies sell. It's ridiculous. Yeah it's a good game, and the skirmish side is basically everyone forms a band of survivors competing for supplies. The biggest downside is that, because of the licensing agreement, they can't just make generic dude models. Everyone has to be a character from the comics. It was apparently a several week back and forth to get the okay to include a zombified Ronnie model as a kickstarter exclusive. Sharks Dont Sleep posted:Guyver/Zoanoid bio-beams!?

Oh wow, I recognized the name CS Goto and I couldn't remember why so I checked his bibliography. He's the writer that the Regimental Standard was making fun off last week, right? The one with such a hate-on for Eldar that he wrote about how their grav tanks could be destroyed by a bunch of kids throwing rocks and how Eldar steal imperial tanks all the time because of how cool and good they are?

You can check eBay for Mantic's Battlezones, the aesthetic doesn't quite match up with 40k pieces but I'm hoping a unified color scheme would help pull it together. I'm planning to not intersperse it, have the GE stuff be the factory and the Mantic's stuff be the Hab-Block the workers live in.

Galaspar posted:Legacygangs.pdf is up now. Some slight wierdness/possible errors, like only one sustained fire dice on a heavy stubber, but looking very useful. Weapon choices are very open, so kitbashers and converters will be happy. Oh that's cool, I wanted to try creating a scenario featuring a plague zombie infested map using some cribbed rules from Mantic's The Walking Dead game but was worried that noice rules would penalize Cawdor too much since they typically got a lot of chain swords. The idea is that most guns create noise, while heavy weapons and chain swords create mayhem. At the end of every turn you check each zombie against an AI priority; Move 6" towards the nearest hanger in LoS resolve a melee combat if that puts it in range No LoS? Move 6" to closest noice marker Each player rolls a d6 and if the combined result is lower than the number of mayhem actions made in the game so far add the difference in plague zombies to one of the nine starting zone gaming edges. Thought it might be a fun use of the plague zombies everyone has lying around from the Dark Imperium box. Though I do worry that putting a penalty on shooting might infairly disadvantage Escher gangs.

First point is correct, they're following their bloodbowl model for NM, but the second is mistaken. They released a bloodbowl almanac in December that was the rule book and the first year's supplemental releases.

It just be historics at this point, they way overproduced GM, to the point it nearly killed the company when it didn't sell as well as they expected. It's a big reason GW moved from specialist games for a while.

GW was gaining ground in non-English speaking countries so when they launched GM they translated it to Portuguese, Italian, French, Spanish and German and printed up distinct versions for each country. The problem being, when you do that, you can't shift inventory based on demand. If they sold through their German printing they couldn't just ship some over from Italy where the game tanked and because they had so much capitol invested in the different language versions they couldn't really afford to resupply countries that ran out. They were losing so much money storing these boxes that they ended up just giving them away to anyone that subscribed to White Dwarf for a year.

That’s exactly what they’re doing. The most expensive box ever is the Grandmaster’s edition. Sort of like a wave 1 everything box. There’s going to be a smaller more reasonable box set. But given that the war hounds are priced the same as knights an all in one discount might be worth it.

So internet rumor sites are told AT is launching in August,see mentions of a specialist game launch in August, and immediately jump to Gorkamorka. Maybe GW games do, in fact, cause brain damage.

berzerkmonkey posted:EDIT: Son of a bitch. I really don't care for the exclusive cards that are only available if you purchase one of the KT starters. I have at least ten Burna Boyz - why would I want to purchase five more? I know someone will make a list, like they have done for NM, but man, that poo poo is annoying. I may be giving GW too much credit, but I think they mean the expansion will be the only place to get the physical tactics cards. The FAQ says the books will have the full rules for all the factions. Like how the codexes have all the tactics for the army but you can still buy a pack of the army tactics. I was ambivalent about he game but I might pick up the rulebook since the FAQ mentions the teased Rogue Trader game being an expansion for Kill Team.

bonds0097 posted:I imagine that tells you a lot about what the gross margin on GW products is at MSRP. It’s not that, GW has tiered incentives for bulk purchases. Your LGS that’s ordering like 5 copies making maybe $30 a purchase on a box game like Killteam. A big store with the warehousing and national exposure can afford to order the larger distributor tier of product. They might only make $10-15 per copy after discounts but if you’re selling 200+ units that is less of an issue.

I never played Renegade but what I’ve gathered from the rules isn’t it just a slimmed(but not in the good way, like you want) down Mechwarrior? Also, looking over the AT ad copy, I know that I will forever have the mind of a 14 year old because I will never see Maniple and not read it as Manpile.
