I love Lord of the Rings as a setting, and "COOL DAD" energy is exactly my brand. Specifically, I have fond memories of going to the Metreon in San Francisco and seeing all the Middle Earth models in the GW store there when they first came out. If I knew anyone around here who played it, I'd get into it, but for now it's Underworlds and Warcry and maybe Kill Team instead.

Al-Saqr posted:there are unsubstantiated rumors that the next gallowdark terrain will be more themed around a command deck/prison barge look (dark eldar raiding an arbites ship to snatch prisoners for enslavement) if that's true it's gonna be a day one instabuy from me. Now that is the first time I've heard an explanation for why there would be an Arbites kill team. That actually makes some sense.

Teasing Genestealers vs Terminators for the last Kill Team ITD box? Or maybe just the 10th edition starter? The white head on the terminator points away from Blood Angels, so maybe Kill Team after all? https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/03/12/echoes-from-the-warp/

Crackbone posted:And that’s a wholly subjective line that pushes game balance to the players instead of the people you paid to write the rules. Right, nobody complains about chess players who "play to win at all costs" (unless that cost is getting advice from a chess program via your vibrating butt plug, of course). What I loved about Warmachine in its heyday was just that -- the rule set was tight, the player base was competitive but friendly, and you felt like you were playing a clean, strategic game like chess. Everyone knew you were playing to win, and there was good sportsmanship.

Cease to Hope posted:the oldhammer space beastmen were like that too though. some of them were just fantasy designs used straight, since there were only a couple 40K-specific beastmen (although they were easy to kitbash). Yeah, Squats and Beastmen in 40K both have a lineage going back to the very beginning. This box is directly targeted at people's nostalgia, and they got me for sure.

Annointed posted:Are there in depth guides for Kill Team? Other than Wahapedia and the occasional in depth article on Goomhammer info on higher level tactics and play seem to be hidden behind word of mouth and discord. Can You Roll A Crit? is by John Rees, a top Kill Team player (#4 in the world for the 2022 ITC season). He also covers Underworlds though is less rosy on it than he used to be. https://canyourollacrit.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@CanYouRollaCrit

Luckily pre-ordering through one of my local independent shops has worked out fine for me, but the GW pre-order and supply chain issues have gotten just absurd. There's also a comic book shop nearby that also carries Warhammer stuff but a lot of people don't realize it. They still had two copies of Gallowfall sitting around yesterday.

Warden posted:Sons of Velmor seem to be a bit worse than Gnarlspirit Pack, that's for sure. Gnarlspirit Pack is a bit overpowered, yeah. They actually put out a beta rule to nerf them a bit.

Squibsy posted:Seriously? Has GW truly managed to kill the spirit of converting and kitbashing as a central part of the hobby? There's a big difference between kitbashing in general, and the particular problem of using most of the defining features of one model instead on a different model that you'd see in the same context. "I kitbashed my missile launcher dreadnaught to use lascannon pieces instead and the lascannon barrels represent the missile tubes, wait, why are you confused about whether my dreadnaught has missile launchers or lascannons?"

SuperKlaus posted:Ohh awesome. I like that a lot more than the alternative. But because your roster is blind, you still wouldn't pick e.g. whether your Kasrkin sergeant has plasma pistol chainsword or bolt pistol power sword in response to the enemy, right? You would pick in response to knowing the enemy faction/roster of 20, but not what selections they had made from their roster. So you'd know whether you were facing chaos cultists or adeptus custodes and could choose accordingly.

Bottom Liner posted:It's still an entire product line in service of the real game. It's a niche within a niche, behind 40k/AoS/BB. It's more popular than Warcry, but a good bit behind Underworlds from what I've seen in a variety of local scenes. In terms of the local scenes I know of as well as the relative event sizes at major cons, KT is way bigger than Underworlds. Adepticon had a paltry showing for Underworlds and I don’t know if Gencon had anything to speak of either. Which is too bad because I love Underworlds and used to run our local meetup.

I'm looking to assemble the two Inquisitorial Support options from Ashes of Faith. I think I've got enough bodies to build all the Tempestus Scions options, but I've only got the five Sisters of Silence. Is there a clear best choice there? All great blades because I would bring a different support if I wanted shooting? How much of a pain in the rear end are they to magnetize if it is worth having the other options?

Stephenls posted:Oof. No more big combined Kill Ream boxes with two kill teams and terrain; I guess that means shipping costs have gone high enough that GW would have to set their MSRP higher than they figure audiences would accept. I appreciate this as I do have enough terrain already.

No Luck Needed posted:I suppose what I meant to say, is there a community that can recommend "count-as" for these games I've got a pack of the Upzone terrain. It's.. all right. Sturdy enough, I expect, but doesn't have the feel of actual plastic terrain. I picked up two Mantic terrain crates on clearance at a local game store and they're way better.

I've been hanging onto this Island of Blood starter set that got passed along to me, thinking maybe I'd use it to start a Skaven army for AoS. But maybe I'll use it for Old World instead.

Bug Squash posted:I'm prepared to be corrected, but I think it's Cadian Shock Troops plus an upgrade sprue for more specialists, wrinkly heads and extra arms. It could probably proxy into or from Vet Guard extremely easily. I'm wondering if it's just the old GSC Brood Brothers Cadian upgrade sprue that's been around since they launched, or a new one.

After trying to hold the Underworlds scene together at my local independent store and having it fall apart anyway, it seems that the new manager of my closest GW store is into supporting the smaller scale games, and I'm going to (help him) run an Underworlds organized play event next month. Cautiously optimistic at the chance of having some turnout, the last time I played an Underworlds event there a bunch of people turned up that I'd never met before despite thinking I knew the local scene pretty well. We'll see!
