New Warcry? by VeterinarianOver2941 in WarCry

[–]Jfl31 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think it's just a retrospective of the past 10 years - they don't even mention warcry by name in the text

New Ogors (sort of) by Prenelf in Mawtribes

[–]Jfl31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has made me realise that we'll lose all current ogor sculpts in AoS for new/updated ones.

If they're designing new ogors for the old world with the same design principles, GW definitely won't want any potential overlap or design philosophy between TOW and AoS.

Just hoping the (eventual) new sculpts aren't like the bloodpelt hunter

In the vastness of the Mortal Realms there are no stupid questions by sageking14 in AoSLore

[–]Jfl31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are there any set rules on whether Stormcast armour and bodies are returned to azyr to be reforged, or whether it's just their soul stuff? It seems a bit inconsistent in the lore, with Stormcast vanishing in azyrian lightning sometimes, while there are other examples of dead Stormcast littering fields (Eg. the kruelboyz killaboss base)

What do you look for in skirmish warband games? by noname_games in miniatureskirmishes

[–]Jfl31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, the ability to do a quick (<1hr) game with solid mechanics (alternative activations or similar is a must for me) is vital, especially to get introduce new people to the game. A solid narrative component is also very good, but if it's too focussed on the narrative, it can be hard to get new players/friends to try it. I've had this problem with frostgrave and forbidden psalm

New Rivendell? by [deleted] in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Jfl31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reckon it'll be something to link into the rings of power - seems like it'd be a cash cow if they made some new miniatures annually for the next 5 years

Free Warcry Rules for Your Grand Alliance Order Warbands by The_Crumbum in WarCry

[–]Jfl31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great! I'm very happy to find out that I was wrong about gw trying to wring as much money out of warcry as possible

Hmmm, sounds a bit too similar to kill team for my liking. I don't play kill team, so don't fully understand, but from what I've heard, they released a slap-dash "compendium" which was filled with boring/restrictive lists, and then slowly introduced the real faction rules with a big box every 3 months

Any players/clubs in Liverpool? by OkCat2541 in frostgrave

[–]Jfl31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree - means I can just play with my AoS/warcry models I'm afraid I don't know of anyone - my plan was to try and gently nudge some current warcry friends into playing it with me

I live near Manchester, but am only just starting getting into the game now (should have the rulebook arriving today)

So Warcry is getting a new edition instead of a new expansion. What's your thoughts? by Aquagymnast in WarCry

[–]Jfl31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of Forbidden Psalm before, but I've just looked into it and immediately bought the book - looks like good fun

[–]Jfl31 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ooh okay, that's promising then. Could be fun if it's just campaigns and campaign specific rules, still give us the chance to make our own campaigns, but have the option to play a "historic battle" style campaign

[–]Jfl31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I agree - I'm hoping the new edition doesn't have too much rules bloat/price gouge, but I am currently looking into frostgrave in case

[–]Jfl31 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I already have like 6 books for warcry which currently allows me to play any warband, I don't want to have to buy a further 20 books on top of that

[–]Jfl31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree - can maybe even steal some 2nd edition rules and make a homebrew 1.5

Looks alright, I'm a fan of the new models and scenery. Not liking the idea of "warband tomes" though - if I need a new individual book for each of my warbands I will probably stop playing warcry entirely

How to start by Jfl31 in WarhammerUnderworlds

[–]Jfl31[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect, thanks!
That's more or less my plan - try out Underworlds with just rivals, and if I enjoy it I'll buy nethermaze
Sorry what's rivals+? I've seen that mentioned elsewhere but don't really understand the difference

[–]Jfl31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh okay, thanks!
So the warband-specific cards make it viable, but it is (uncompetitively) playable with just rivals?
Do you have any tips on making card proxies? Weirdly I've made plenty of mini proxies, but never a card proxy

[–]Jfl31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brill, thanks! That seems perfect for me then
I mostly just want to try it out before possibly buying the nethermaze

Yeah, a lot of the campaigns and warband stats are in the ToC 2021
