TKIY posted:Is Slambo resin? Yeah he's finecast.  It's the first time working with resin instead of metal or plastic and I'm not sure how I feel. I appreciate that it's easier to clean up sprue joins but there's so much more flash in general, and I did manage to gently caress up the bottom of his torso plate a little. I also like how plastic fits together a little better.

LordAbaddon posted:Not to interrupt the shitposting but is there any overview/meta rundown for the various factions(battleforces?(armies?(wad of cash?)))? I'm interested to see where everything stands in that "can't look away from a train wreck" kind of way. Tournament results are hard to scrutinize since they're frequently listed by Grand Order which doesn't tell you much, and also don't seem to have a ton of Big tournaments to draw real data from. What I can put together from podcasts suggests Sigmarines, Sylvaneth, and Beastclaw Raiders are Extremely Good. Most of the new/updated armies are less oppressive but competitive. This is excluding Ironjawz and Dwarves, which sound weak/see little play. Few seem to play the old armies in tournaments except a recent Tomb King list abusing a Leader ability to spam other leader abilities. There is now talk of banning old armies from tournaments over less scrutinized balance/point allocation and unforseen abusive interactions. I think this is dumb because AoS is fundamentally a bad tournament game to start, and stakes seem low to exclude underplayed armies just because people can't practice against them.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:thats pretty absurd if youve already bought a bunch of overpriced gw crap and decided to use third party bits to make them look less dumb that it would disqualify you from playing in a gw tourney GW basically never runs its own tournaments except dipping a toe like once last year. IIRC official GW event rules allow conversions but specify any single model has to be 51% GW product, as determined by a judge eyeballing it. A third party head won't disqualify you.

Ghost Hand posted:I see this as a good thing. They are working hard to work with the community again under their new leadership... blah blah blah. You've heard it all before. Well it's potentially good. Best case scenario they listen to players and pay attention to how the game is actually being played. If it's still the same old GW...  Time will tell. I just really wish they'd look more at the MTG model and hire the ITC guys into a DCI equivalent.

Texmo posted:I was in my local game store today, and noticed they had a set of Stormfront Eternal Warscroll Cards for sale, which is I think a fantastic idea, especially if they're anything like the ones from the Storm of Sigmar mini-starter box. Flipping through a codex to find unit rules is Tedious and Sucks, and i'd absolutely pay some bucks for the convenience of pre-made unit cards and tokens. How big are those in inches? I really like the Malifaux rules cards which are nice business card sized references.

Deino posted:The point I was bringing up is that GW is forcing other games out of the available space, though. That's a clearly predatory move in an environment that's previously been about showcasing as many games to as many people as possible. GW is trying to turn Adepticon into a GW event, instead of an industry-wide tabletop wargaming event. GW is the biggest game in town, want to promote their product (which players have been begging them to better support) and Adepticon presumably has finite event space. What's your solution?

Adepticon has a pretty concrete idea of the demand for different games, and we do not. GW money will likely tip the scales of triage at the edges but I doubt they're effectively cancelling 9th Age so GW can have empty tables with Sigmar banners dangling from them.

drat the Arch Warlock is a character they've apparently properly discontinued (Ikit Claw) and I can only find it on one website for $60. Only Jezzail listing I see on ebay is really old models, which are ugly and have their novelty, but look like good value even with shipping from Europe. Still think I want to try my hand and making better looking ones.

Business Gorillas posted:did they ever fix the OFFICIAL rules of your army being some fences around a very nice looking tree Or you could try to do that with Open Play and people would just stop playing with you. Atlas Hugged posted:The thing that bothers me about GW apologists is their insistence that being able to play the game how they want is somehow mutually exclusive from a game having comprehensive rules and balanced mechanics. Do they not realize that there is no miniature game police? I could go to my FLGS tomorrow and play a game of Kings of War where I fielded nothing but Troops even though that's a clear violation of the rules. As long as my opponent agrees, who cares?

Atlas Hugged posted:To me it's the "dumb kid clause" and GW not realizing that there would be people who didn't want to play that way. When my friends and I were dumb kids on limited budgets, we often didn't have enough models to make legal units or we didn't have the right types of units to make legal armies. "My friend has 8 plastic halbediers and a hellblaster volley gun, but that doesn't work out to >50% and <25%, guess he can't play." Obviously we could have just played if we wanted to, and inevitably we did, but we always felt like we weren't really playing Warhammer. So it's nice when the official rules recognize that as a legitimate way to play and you don't think that you're "playing wrong". Even the Kings of War book says if you're playing smaller games not to worry about points or army composition. Just play with what you have ready. Oh I definitely understand why it exists and think it's a good thing as a supported format, it's just confusing to think it was ever the only format and people were like "yes, good." Like reading about/listening to podcasts about the General's Handbook Handbook release and hearing people mad they were adding points is weird. I'm new to wargaming so I'm fascinated by how hardcore some people are about fluffy/anti-competitive aspects of the game. I certainly lean towards fluff since I don't think GW rules are very conducive to meaningful competitive play, but I like the idea of having objectives and a loose metric of balance even if I'm gonna play a less strict format.

Browsing lists for it a few weeks ago I saw a lot of horde type stuff with lots of Clanrats, Skavenslaves, Plague Monks, and Stormvermin or Battalion based Pestilens. If anyone's got upper table lists from Adepticon I'd like to browse through them, all I've been able to find is Nick Nanivati's winning Daemon list.

Leperflesh posted:Don't play a horde army in a game where you have to move each individual model with a tape measure. I think I talked about this in the 40k thread once but I've got a bad thing about liking horde armies for the fluff, not because it's what I want to play. A solution is getting some laser cut MDF movement trays for deployment and movement until pile-ins. It's so convenient, just imagine if everyone started using movement trays all the time for everything

Mr.Booger posted:where would one find allegiance bonuses? I have heard people refer to them, but didnt see any for skaven, is there such a thing? The Grand Alliance: Chaos book and Skaven Pestilens Battletome. The warscrolls included with models are all you need to field the unit but if you want allegiance abilities or battalion warscrolls you have to buy your faction/army books. Pestilens is the only Skaven clan with their own book for now.

Mr.Booger posted:Ah, okay. I have the GH, but didn't see much about it other than it was a thing. I will wait til there is a better skaven book, as pestilence was my Jam back in the day, but I am more partial to hordes of dudes and skyre atm. You might want to still get the chaos book then. You get Chaos Allegiance for undifferentiated Skaven if you want, and some batallions that might be good. I think the only Skryre allegiance ability (every unit must have Skryre keyword) right now is getting Stormfiends as Battleline so you don't have to move/manage a billion Clanrats.
