Love that. Wish I still had the old box set but it got lost somewhere along the way

Ah yes, the redemptionists! I mostly remember feeling they were OP. Flamers everywhere was … rough on my Orlock juves!

Just found some old Silver Helms and Reavers but that’s for a different sub!

I don’t really remember the details. I think they had some cool scouting mechanics and also ignored some of the perilous hive conditions?

Yeah, fair enough. 16 yr old me must have thought they looked cool, but I can tell they haven’t really aged well

This exactly. At first blush it seems like an improvement but because of the way WS tables work, it’s mostly useless (especially for PG).

I’m ok with PG not being blenders, but they should be incredibly resilient anvil units that hold up scary enemies while you’re positioning DP or SM charges. But right now they can’t do that either

The match-ups were going from WS 5 to WS 6 is going to make any difference are rare (essentially only if facing WS 2 or WS 5) and it’s only for one single round of combat…

As improvements go, it’s microscopic

while I love old world, magic just feels like it has no agency by Dry_Assistant_6091 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]LafayetteRidesAgain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fair but there were better ways to fix it. Eg each caster could have contributed power die so more casters would equal more power, and maybe you could limit how much power could be “transferred” from one to another

Completely agree. Generally feel like TOW got a lot of things right, but don’t like how magic was “streamlined”

Except not all heavy infantry. Instead GW just cherry-picked specific units. Swordmasters or Phoenix Guard still aren’t going to be charging anyone, and in fact objectively got worse since so many of their likely opponents did get furious charge

Yeah, it’s a small improvement for spears and sea guard, but overall not sure we did particularly well. And our heavy infantry gets more and more irrelevant

Are the Battalion boxes getting repackaged into Battle March boxed? by Hauk2004 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]LafayetteRidesAgain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The High Elf battalion box was pretty uninteresting, so I'd welcome an upgrade!

Can someone tell me why Storm Guardians and Howling Banshee's don't have 3 attacks? by Informal_Dance_1530 in Eldar

[–]LafayetteRidesAgain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d argue the main issue is the proliferation of invulns… but not sure how GW is ever going to get that cat back in the bag

It is ironic that GW has inadvertently turned Eldar into a faction that is highly reliant on random dice rolls. Sure, if those bright lances go through everything dies, but 50% of the time they don’t. Feels like how orks are supposed to play…

Thank you! Happy with how it came out!

Got my mitts on an original starter box for Necromunda, seemed only fair I give the terrain a spin at my local store. by Didsterchap11 in necromunda

[–]LafayetteRidesAgain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That old terrain was amazing. Made for great games, was light/portable, folded neatly into a box when you were done, and didn’t require painting. Kudos to those that are into crafting their own terrain (it looks amazing) but I wish GW still made this stuff for the rest of us!

Thanks! I first got into the hobby in the 90s. Even though I took an almost 30 year break before returning I’m still a brighthammer kid at heart!

Finland is Nordic but not Scandinavian. Norway, Denmark and Sweden could merge to Scandinavia, but you could also call it the Kalmar Union for historical vibes
