Re: Frostgrave & Otherworld Fantasy Skirmish

Cool suggestions Monkey, I have been in the mood for a game like these. I found some reviews for Frostgrave - which has a very Mordheim vibe - but I was having trouble finding more specifics on Otherworld. Could you tell me more about it? I got the impression it would play like a gridless D&D. I...

Re: AoS Point Cost Algorithm!

I always felt constrained by GW's point values. They never felt right. I much prefer me and my opponent looking at each other's deployment and agreeing that things look balanced. However I admit I play with friends and things are usually civil. I can imagine things get much harrier once a tournament...

Re: Games Workshop Store:

I'm no longer aghast about GW prices. People keep trying to convince me to play Warmachine/Hordes because they say it's cheaper. I just checked Privateer Press website. The price for their starter sets are $50 each. Each starter set has from three to five models. Ever wonder what the hobby would be...

Re: Age of Sigmar SDK

You can use wounds, you can use algorithms. But at the end of the day just using your gut will get you farther/faster. Many models just have a combination of special rules you just can judge by stats alone. Certain synergies are just going to make certain units waaay more efficient than other units....

Re: Games Workshop Store:

I think you are safe, they are showing up in the US store.

Word is the forest spirits are going to show up in the next campaign book. So maybe they are just repackaging them with round bases or something? But I'd be patient, they will almost certainly show up.

Re: Heads Exploding! Age of Sigmar Rules Released Online

I find it interesting that 8e was a point-based system that had many complaints about how GW pointed it. People online discuss how to repoint them only to disagree on how to do so from one army forum to the next. Now GW has decided to leave it to us to determine what a fair game is and the first th...

Re: AOS Wood Elf units, strengths/weaknesses

Do to procrastination, my wood elves are still not ready for the table. I wanted to hear about the warscroll that lets your army ambush. Can someone share their experience using it? Is it as good as it sounds?

Re: Heads Exploding! Age of Sigmar Rules Released Online

Certainly after 25 games you guys have a decent idea of what it takes to bring down each other's units. All this building lists based on wounds is rubbish. It might get you in the ball park but you've got to take into account units with exceptionally high defensive or offensive capabilities. Hell, y...

Re: Kings of War

As razorfate said, wound just keep accumulating on a unit until they rout. Its sort of like your leadership checks and wound deduction rolled into one package. Im not sure if anyone mentioned this but any unit in KoW can hold a magic item. This means that any unit can be given a specialized function...

Re: Heads Exploding! Age of Sigmar Rules Released Online

Kings of War is pretty good! Dig around on the mantic forums and you should be able to find a beta copy of the 2nd edition rules somewhere. I'm really liking Age of Sigmar. I think it will be a big motivator to getting my wood elfs back in working order. Sort of like how the battlescrolls give you a...

Re: 1500 points against Ogres

Man, Ogres vs Woodies sounds like a fun time! Yeah, those waywatchers should shred up those mournfang. Without their armor they tend to drop like flies. Watch out for those Ogre Scouts (They are called Maneaters). He can deploy them very close and they certainly pack a punch. Most of all, watch out ...

If 9th was awesome and the elf aesthetic changed drastically then the plan was to sell them on ebay or something. Or maybe use them as stand-ins. I dont ...

In the BRB in the look out sir section it states that you need 5 models of rank and files. Period. Nowhere it states otherwise for monstrous infantry/cavalry.
