I think the majority are either students or military, though the Forces guys range wildly in rank and specialization. That only makes sense given that there are 3 post-Secondary schools and a large...
The problem I'm finding anymore is that so many of my games are becoming one-sided one way or another. The rules I'm still alright with, but the massive changes to army building seem to be ending up...
The biggest consideration to me, assuming finances are not a huge issue, is whether or not you can make enough use of small chunks to be satisfied with your purchases. Even.....10-ish armies in I...
When I was in a bit of financial distress a number of years ago I sold off a heavily converted Word Bearer army that I had sunk a LOT of time in to for far less than they were worth to me because...
They'll be really tough against basic weapons, but I doubt they'll ever get shot by them when an Autocannon bypasses their save, extra wound, and FNP all at once to bag itself 30+ points a shot. An...
My initial thought is that the points seem really low for the Janissary unit. 80 points for an effectively fearless blob of 30 Guardsmen is crazy low. Cultists are TWICE the price equipped with...
When I used to be a TO I always wanted to run an "Everyone is Equal" event where every round had a single army designed by the TO given to EVERY player to use. These lists would be mediocre in power...
Can't wait to see that one in person in a few weeks!
War of the Ring was actually a pretty solid system. The skirmish game was just too clunky though. Fun at very small scale as a skirmish game (I introduced my 14 year old brother-in-law to gaming...
Looking awesome. Might be the best Truescale project I've seen. I don't tend to like the look of a lot of them, but these guys manage to be properly scaled while still maintaining a classic Power...
Going really well locally. It's interesting to see people commenting about how 5th was the heyday in their communities. Ours was nearly dead by the end of 5th, still our least favorite edition. ...
This looks like it will be fun supplement to read regardless of how useful it is game wise.
I wonder if those CCW's are just conversions from the Ashen Circle? It'd super cool to get those though, they'd fit a lot of places.
I really wonder if the Lord of Skulls isn't the answer. it obviously wasn't hugely well received but I have to wonder with GW's push towards getting Superheavies included in 40k if they aren't...
Warmahordes is number one for me, given how functional the starter sets are, how concise the rules are in a small book, and how well the game scales. Locally players aren't the problem that they are...
Yeah, I'm feeling a trap here. No way they scrap an update on a poorly selling system no-one likes (at least around here) to re-do something that is cranking out expansions and books left and right.
I know it's not broken when compared to a bunch of the 2nd ed stuff, but I always found the 3rd Ed holo-falcons with Spirit Stones that were nigh unkillable and could take/contest quarters when that...
I'm not terribly fond of the points spread as they're listed here. We play 1850 or (more often) 2000, where as 2500 basically never gets played outside of the occasional tag match. 2000 to me fits...
Whether or not Finecast is actually a good material, the idea that it is awful is already dominant in the community at large. I know that GW tends to not listen to the community, but in this case I...
Stuff like this is why our local tourneys only give out prizes as draws, to keep people from wanting to cheat their way into free stuff.
A friend and I have always had Dark Matter weapons going "zort"
Agreed that most Eldar weapons are likely fairly silent, even reaper launcher probably just make a hissing sound. Distort weapons...
You're telling me! On a 3+ that thing can pump out 4 large blasts doing a minimum of S6 Ap3? And it's balanced against the Wraithknight how?
As a White Scars player long before they were "good" bike squads are the obvious choice for me. They also fit into my central philosophy for 6th, which is "if you can take something on a scoring...
Maybe it's just my nature to vote for the underdog no one seems to like, but I've become a huge fan of the Storm in the new book. Cheap heavy flamers in the enemy deployment zone turn 1? Love the...
