 If nothing else, Shadespire got me to actually fully paint everything for a game.

Played my first game yesterday. Once you get the hang of the game it's really fun. Decided to paint up Blooded Saek up first since he took out Obryn during the game. He's also the coolest model. Zuul the Cat posted:Finished up Blooded Saek from Shadespire.

Are you all liquid green stuffing the seems or are the seems not too noticeable once they're painted?

I assembled the stormcast and it is just the shoulder pads that need checking. The Khorne guys with the flesh will need a firmer check. Of course you could just have them as more scars.

Saek is the only one whose seam really bugs me as it goes right down the middle of his chest and abs. For the rest, I use tamiya extra thin glue so I just brush a bit over the seam and that mostly eliminates it. I didn't bother puttying the shoulder pads on the stormcasts.

If you run some plastic glue into the gaps just before you squeeze the parts together they will seal themselves. I've had more seam issues with the stormcast since their seams run straight through the middle of the shoulder pads for some reason. Khorne guys I slapped together, half the seams don't even need sanding as they're very cleverly hidden in the musculature.

Okay, thanks. I snapped mine together without any glue just so I could play a few games before I'm ready to paint them. Though I'm tempted to leave the chest parts off of the Stormcast leader entirely since he has a wonderful FIFA graphic glitch look to him.

Yeah, I wish they did what they did for Severin for all the models, where the back piece has the full shoulder pad minus the front rim, so so the seam is naturally hidden except for the tiny bit of rim.

Anyone planning on picking up any terrains for it to make the games a little more interesting? I picked up some regular DnD terrain off etsy, like crates and barrels, a scrying pool and some pillars. Figured I could add those to the impassable terrain sections on the board.

Having some hex shaped bases with simple ruins/rocks on them that match the game boards would be cool (and probably easy to DIY but I'm terrible at that.)

berzerkmonkey posted:Are you doing this once the model is assembled, or during the build process? I assembled my Gorebloodmurderbros already, not realizing that gap was so large... I brush glue on the seams when I put the pieces together, very small amounts, makes things melt together nicely. Do before you primer/paint or it'll melt that too. Here's an example, you can barely see the seam:  Zuul the Cat posted:Anyone planning on picking up any terrains for it to make the games a little more interesting?

It was a blast, there is a surprising degree of tactical depth, beyond the usual CHAERG! syndrome Warhammer has s tendency to suffer. I was behind on glory (victory points) for the first 2 turns but in the last one managed to play a string of ploy cards to manipulate my opponent to his doom. Looking forward to the deckbuilding. We ran with the premade decks and even with just one game I saw how things could be optimized to make your guys play one way or the other.

w00tmonger posted:Anyone have a trip report for the game? Looks interesting, but I've been wary of GW My friends and I played about 5 games last Sunday. It's pretty fun, we may not have had our strategies down because the bloodreiver side won most of the time through excellent mobility and more easily getting flanking support. The starting decks seem to have some chaff to replace with other cards in the box. It seems like one team can very easily snowball over the opponent if they get a quick glory point and then an upgrade while the other misses any glory points in the first phase. But the games are so quick that even if it feels one-sided it's tempting to play one more and try again. Once the first two expansions come out and there are more deck building options I think it will really take off. One caveat is I would definitely do some kind of painting on the models, even if just a spray of primer and single ink wash over the whole thing. It's kind of tough to make out the unpainted minis, at least in the first few games and for people trying the first time.

Here is my Blood Reavers assembly video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9I0iedhlfI A tiny bit of liquid green stuff sorted out all the little gaps. Applied it with a knife to cover the gaps, used a dry tissue to wipe away the excess. Did the same with the Stormcast shoulder pads.

According to the GW rep my LGS talked to, all the cards in the expansions are faction specific so there's no worry of having to buy the expansions to stay competitive. Expansions will be $30, faction themes dice cubes will be $10 and there's no talk of it now but don't be surprised if they announce a plastic counter pack to upgrade the cardboard tokens the box comes with.

There are two decks in each faction booster. One is faction specific and one is generic and can be used with any faction. You don't need them, but they open up different strategies to win.

I am in love with this game and have been demoing it with mixed success. Everyone I can get to try it out has loved it, even people who don't like Age of Sigmar or more specifically the Stormcast. Brought it out to one of the local FLGS tonight to see if I could help them move some copies because the last store I demoed out sold out the next day. Unfortunately I had no takers and the general theme was the dudes I talked to hated GW for blowing up the old world. Hopefully the game takes off in my area because I really believe this is the best ruleset GW has ever released and I've played everything they have ever put out except inquisitor. Another hang up I've heard from people is the lack of warband diversity and with the Ardboyz and Skelies coming out next week I''m hoping for that to help kickstart the local groups.

We ended up just switching back and forth between opponents. It's cool that multiplayer is there and the rules seem like they'll work well but everyone wants to try and wrap their heads around the game, its not as simple as it looks. Also, we didn't even play the hold the artifact variant. I played probably 10 games with the same guy and the only time I got irritated was when the dice seemed to turn against me and he was up by 5 and two of my Bloodboys were out at the end of turn 1.

Then at some point after we are getting Skaven and another Stormcast and Chaos gang and the Slayers I believe. Really interested in the Skaven Warband. Wonder what it will be like.

Yeah, I could totally see a skaven objective that rewards attacking the same guy with three of yours. I've got to say, despite myself and their silly names, the new AoS Khorne minis are growing on me. They come across a lot better in person than they do in photos.

Just grabbed the box from a shop nearby at 20% off with the intention of getting some different sculpts for my Blood dudes and Stormsies. £32 for the boxed game seemed low enough to give it a shot and if nothing else I've got some more stuff on my painting backlog.

I'm so tempted to slave over these minis because I love how well crafted they are, but I also really just want to get them painted up for games. I've never built a wfb/40k army but I think I'm understanding the predicament.

So then you can play with them without fear of ruining the paint. And then when you have the time, wash, highlight, etc.

Yeah, warhammer underworlds is the name of the brand/larger universe or whatever, while the first core set is set in shadespire. https://warhammerunderworlds.com/ Supposedly there will be future core sets and the rules already allude to a players selecting a board from all the boards in their collection.

That should be fun. He said pretty much the same thing - all the North American managers just got back from their Dallas trip, and he let me know we played pretty much the entire game wrong last weekend. haha. Glad they had a training meeting with staff. He did mention what you did, about the expansions. If people are going to play it, nows the time to do so because it introduces you to core concepts which will be expanded on as it goes forward.

I airbrush some vallejo satin or gloss varnish on, this protects my work and also makes washes flow into recesses much better. after I wash, if I used a gloss varnish I spray some matte on afterwards. If I used satin, I can just continue painting over it.
