shoplifter posted:I feel terrible for you guys, my FLGS is a 20% discount on all GW by default You're lucky. The one local store that gives a discount is on a sliding scale - 10% for over $50, 15% for over $100. I mean, it's cool they do that, but with a 7% tax rate, it isn't enough to make me want to shop there in a regular basis (though I do try to buy something ever time I go.)

My only concern about these are 1) it's gotta be heavy as gently caress, even empty; 2) sometimes airline travel is not the most gentle, even if you have control of your stuff, so you're really dependent on your magnetizing, since you don't have anything else protecting your models from rattling around that hard case; 3) are the Tablewar cases even carryon sized?; and 4) cost - how many models do you have in there? That's the $130 case, right? A PACK 432 with Magna Rack is the same price (cheaper with a sale) and I'm curious how well it compares. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Jun 26, 2018 |

I have Soul Wars coming in the mail tomorrow and picked up the Dark Imperium starter set after spending some time at the local Games Workshop store. The three mentioned are the go-to novels. Hammerhall and Others is also a good jumping off point. If you go to the BL page and look at the books in the first two lines (from City of Secrets to Silver Shard), you'll be good. Anything prior to that was AoS v1, and, while some of the books are considered ok, you could spend your time reading better things.

Business Gorillas posted:Played my first game of AoS a couple days ago. I made a comment that the whole "piling in" concept seems like it would be a big pain in the dick when it comes to tournament play. Some guy not involved in the conversation shouted across the room that if I don't like it, I shouldn't play in tournaments. Technically, no GW game is good for, or even made for, a tournament environment. So, even though he was being a smartass, he's correct. Just play AoS or 40K for fun - tournaments are the bane of fun gaming anyway.

Business Gorillas posted:I mean that's fine, my first impression of AoS was that the game seems to have a veneer of "if you actually play the rules as written the game breaks immediately", which doesn't seem like decent game design Again, you're equating GW with decent game design! I'm not saying that GW's games aren't fun, but they are certainly not well written, and are ripe for exploitation (as with the goblin example.) The good thing is that GW is seeing things like the goblin incident and making changes accordingly, so, maybe at some point in the future, AoS will be a solid game (or maybe not.) (Please note that I am not trying to be a dick.)

darnon posted:The only two I know off the top of my head that stock Warhammer to be wary of are Doc's Discount Game Store and model girls or whatever the account is out of Myrtle Beach. The former can be very slow to ship to the point of needing to file eBay claims to get moving. The latter is less a big deal but they tend to ship sprues bare out of box despite charging shipping fees. I never had an issue with Doc's when I was using them, and I bought a LOT of stuff. "Model Girls" is some weird cult (seriously) using a sexxxy name to lure nerds in. I've bought a few things from them in the past and never had an issue, but if you do have a problem and call them on it you get a response like: quote:Reply by modelgirl (Aug-07-17 22:58): quote:Reply by modelgirl (Apr-27-18 07:29): It's kind of like what Trump would write if he were selling on Ebay.

They're lesser daemons (beasts) kind of on the same level as Beasts of Nurgle, Fiends of Slannesh, and Screamers of Tzeentch. There's no real straight line analogy between them though, other than the fact that they are all beasts and not semi-independent daemons. Nurglings are kind of their own thing.

Lord_Hambrose posted:I kinda like how limited the factions are. You get just the important thematic stuff so they can release what makes sense, without having to give everyone every kind of thing. Also, the designers are able to create cool new things as a thematic new army rather than give Fyreslayerz a second kind of calvary after struggling to fill the calvary slot the previous year. This. I'd like to do a Stormcast force at some point, but I am kind of paralyzed by the number of unit options they have. I'd rather have a smaller pool to draw from. It also makes it easier to pick up a new, cool army - I'm not being forced to pick up the new, slightly better unit option for my army. I've got what I've got, and I can either bulk up a particular unit, or grab something from another army that catches my eye.

Bombogenesis posted:At this point there are effectively three separate Stormcast factions(Base Stormcasts, Vanguard and now Sacrosanct), but GW keeps them all lumped together for whatever reason. I enjoy the lore about how they have massive hosts with different chambers and such, but they could probably safely split them into different factions without hurting anything. It also doesn't help that I'm really just getting into AoS seriously, so there are a lot of things related to rules and organization that are a bit confusing to someone coming from older GW games that had things like hard and fast unit limitations. The new Warhammer Legends scrolls have been posted. Sadly, nothing for Matched Play (though we knew that.) I really want my TKs to be a thing, even if I can only play them with friends.

You could, but AoS is at the point that if you are starting a new army, you should really put them on round bases is you plan on playing them in any sort of environment outside of your close gaming circle. But yeah - while the lists are going to be different, they are still the same models.

The whole point of Warhammer and 40K is that it is oppressively grim. Neither are nice places to live and life is a constant struggle just to survive. It's not that GW can't write shiny happy rainbow land, it's that they don't want to. Everything sucks, and there are no good guys (except maybe the lizards.)

Business Gorillas posted:I think the AoS lore being bad is worth talking about considering the designers of the game actively encourage you to create your own stories in their world The lore doesn't suck anymore, and GW is actively making it better. And it isn't that there aren't any "good" guys, it's just that nobody is without a skeleton in their closet (at the very least.) Stormcast, like Space Marines, vary in their level of zeal and connection to normal humans. The Dwarfs (sky and fire) are greedy, but still have a sense of honor. The Idoneth are tragic elves who don't like what they are, but also don't just want to curl up and die. Lizards are pretty much good guys, fighting Chaos in all its forms. Free People are just normies trying to get by.

Apollodorus posted:Hello again, fellow Warhams. Where are you trying to sell it? Recent sales show that it's going for $170 shipped - subtract 13% for fees and $20 for shipping, and you're looking at $127.90 in your pocket. If you sell for $125, I'd ask for the buyer to pay for shipping and Paypal fees. You might also want to look at splitting it up if the complete set doesn't sell quickly - most players won't need both Elves and Skaven. You'll get about the same amount of money either way you sell it.
