Weird question.. is there a VASSAL like way to play TOW online? I love warhammer, but A) Have no income (disabled), B ) Have no mini assembling skills (tried with Blood Bowl in the past), C ) have no painting skills. And yes, I know of the TW:WH series. I have all three, but would prefer something turn based if possible (and because I'd like to try the Old World

Majkol posted:Yeah, no way I'm paying that. I bought a Highland minis Warboss on a boar, put a magnet up his rear end and he's gonna sit on a wyvern from Dungeons and Lasers. It's going to be less than half that price in total, including having to buy a base separately. Any excitement I had during the Kislev and Cathay concept art phase evaporated pretty quickly. The prices are just insane - if the models were resculpts then sure, whatever, slight justification. But just re-releasing them (really kind of bad sculpts if you have no nostalgia for them) with a massively inflated price feels like the scalping is coming from inside GW.

About half the minis they're rereleasing feel classic and I'm glad they're back, and half of them feel like it's absurd to charge full price for them ityool 2024. However the WFB nostalgia guys seem to be hoovering them up and everything is out of stock instantly, so eh. I guess I'm just not the target audience. The actual game seems pretty good though, and I can use cheaper and better 3rd party minis for that.

I’m the target market and now that I earn more than (checks notes) what I did when I was 14, it’s not a big deal for me. I just hope I can buy what I want when the Dwarf preorders open and don’t get another weird stock issue.

the only real headscratcher for me personally is badlands ogres costing $110 for five while the much better looking ogor gluttons (which were previously used as ogre bulls in WHFB 8th edition) are $60 for six like I'm sure some people like the older sculpts better but do they like it $50 better?

I can as well but I can't justify the purchase when I look around and see better or similar sculpts for much less. I would feel like a mark.

A little WIP from my chaos warriors: This is my first free-handed banner and I'm pretty happy with the skull. I think the fire needs a bit of work, but it's almost there. It was a fun little thing to do and I'm going to keep the general goofy theme across my army's banners though I won't be replicating symbols. Tzeentch is 100% a wizard van guy and I want to represent that if I can. I'm only a few more steps away from hitting these models with gloss and oils. Then they'll be matted down and based. When they're done I'll paint a wizard.

Finished up my first batch of chaos warriors over the weekend. My original test model was really helpful and I was able to modify the scheme a bit to get it where I wanted. For example, I pushed the contrast in the metallics a bit more and deepened the shadows on the cloaks. I was aiming for something I could knock out relatively quickly. There's a fair bit of drybrushing here - the cloaks especially. I still took some time to wet blend things like the horns and the color change on the banner. Speaking of which, I took my first real shot at freehanding on this banner which was definitely a learning experience. So without further ado, here are the models: Group shots:    Command section:   Mooks with my test model in the middle:   More mooks:   I'm really happy with how these guys turned out. They're tzeentch weirdos so I added some small things like glowing runes on their pendants, the standard bearer has a glowing blue eye, and the champion has orange eyes and fiery runes on his sword to make him stand out. If I have a complaint with these models it's that I wish there was a little less variety in the skins and furs they're wearing just to help streamline things. I think I managed a good amount of variety there though. I also felt obligated to paint them off of their bases just to be able to access certain areas. The cloaks can be difficult to work around otherwise. Of course the shields were separate too. I'll be continuing the general wizard van art theme with future banners. I have some ideas already and I think I'm locked in on my eventual battle standard bearer. Next up I'll be painting a wizard as I've previously mentioned and then maybe some hounds for something quick and easy before diving back into another batch of warriors. I'm planning 40 of these.

Beaten to it, but whatever. Rulebook Forces of Fantasy Ravening Hordes The big changes here are in the rulebook document and they're more clarifications than anything. Here are some highlights:
They also made some small adjustments to the legacy lists, but they don't seem to be highlighted so I'm not sure what they've changed at a glance. Safety Factor fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Apr 9, 2024 |

Safety Factor posted:[*]Lances may be used whenever a model charges or counts as having charged. There's been a weird little debate about this in the community and some folks thought that lances couldn't be used when pursuing a unit that had fallen back in good order. Hopefully this answers that. This is a wild one. Was someone, somewhere (probably in a tournament) arguing, that opponent can't use their lance, because "It only count-as a charge, not an actual charge."

Issaries posted:This is a wild one. Was someone, somewhere (probably in a tournament) arguing, I want to say it was a previous version of the FAQ - it's why quote:Q: If my unit loses a round of combat and either Gives Ground or Falls Back in Good Order, can it choose to use different weapons in the next turn if the enemy made a Follow Up or Pursuit move? is in cyan. It's because it says it's an ongoing combat and lances are explicitly 1st round only in their rules, so they had to be changed to work whenever the unit charged. I do sort of wish they'd come out and say this a bit more clearly - I'm assuming since they state here it's an ongoing combat stuff like hatred doesn't reactivate every time you pursue too, but it'd be nice to have a definitive answer on what's an ongoing combat vs a fresh one.

Changed from setting an enemy unit's BS or WS to 1, to a simple -1BS/WS. oh sorry I misrembered. It was that the murderous rule only applied to units using 1 hand and not 2, but witch elves only come with two so they can't use the rule. Looking at the PDF they did not fix it at all.

The magic item clarification affects me a little because I was planning on running a dragon ogre shaggoth in my chaos warriors list. I was going to give it a runesword for WS7, I5, and essentially turning it into a pseudo-demon prince with ridiculous stats. I'm not broken-hearted about it, I had just assumed incorrectly. Not much is drawing my eye in the generic list so maybe I'll go for something defensive instead. Or maybe I'll take the wizarding hat. The hat is probably the funniest/tzeentchiest option because it'll let me splash an almost useless level 1 wizard into my list with a magic lore I don't normally have access to like illusion or even waaagh magic. I just need to figure out what a level 1 might actually be able to cast. Probably need to rely on signature spells too.

Murderous is still weirdly situational. A lot of DE get it who'll never use it, but it's a silver lining on the corner cases where you have to use a hand weapon. Is there a change log somewhere? hooman posted:Official rules support your vibes. Heck yes, chariots are officially an Old World trolley problem.

My initial enthusiasm for getting to put my tomb kings back on the field has been dampened considerably by several months of being unable to actually buy the rules for this game I can order a UK copy on eBay for less than half the price of a US edition ($53 vs. $130), although add $25 in shipping and presumably a couple or three weeks for it to arrive. I also see listings from europe, japan, etc. lol everyone's aware that there's a severe shortage but going to ebay for this new in-print game feels like letting Games Workshop get away with something somehow if they can't supply the US customers with rulebooks then gently caress'm
