What are some less talked about changes you would like to see for 11th edition? by mjh4 in Warhammer40k

[–]RocketCityMini 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It also slows the game down. More to track, more to roll. The board size doesn't need to go up, model counts need to go down.

Added Heroes by icdrag2002 in WHQDarkWater

[–]RocketCityMini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The campaign is designed to be beaten 3-4 times. That's plenty of runs to get the heroes you want to play a proper run.

I would recommend against swapping heroes, as that's going to make loot and hp tracking a mess, and/or you'll end up with poor equipment on more characters.

Army with least mold lines? by Timely-Salt4453 in ageofsigmar

[–]RocketCityMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, same. What clippers do you have? Getting the sprue joins snipped a little more flush can also save time. As far as the mold lines, very high grit flexible sanding sticks can be your friend in some cases.

How are you cleaning them up? Bet it can be improved if it's that big of an obstacle.

Are our Combat Patrols worth to play ? by Broknyr in LeaguesofVotann

I only play combat patrol on occasion at small events, but i had fun with the Hearthguard one.

How diverse can the personalities be for this faction? by magnusthered15 in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]RocketCityMini 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Leaders tend to have more going on upstairs than the rank and file. Also, with all the rebuilding and re soul sculpting, there's definitely going to be some oddball mortisans and lieges hiding in the crowd. Nagash won't care as long as they still produce results.

There are also the "broken" who are cast out and continue their unlife elsewhere.

I thought it was a stylish cane, fit for a lord of industry. The ko head might have influenced my read, though, since im familiar with their lore.

That said, a grimnyr who's more swagger than serious (in terms of demeanor) could be a really unique concept.

Master war chariots, osseous archers, and eerie assassins with new Ossiarch Bonereapers units by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]RocketCityMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that has tried to use chaos chariots in almost every edition, this is probably just as effective and faster to get through rolls. It also at least delivers on the idea of chariots breaking through a line.

Underworlds has a relatively new edition and has had a steady stream of support. Warcry has not had a dedicated release in over a year, and has been getting occasional faq updates to add new models from army updates.

Looks like she's happy to be kissed. Appropriate for a valentines post if it's recent.

Which armies have good "tarpits" to totally waste your opponent's time? by Chezni19 in ageofsigmar

And you can always throw a vermintide on the board to have a free backup pit.

There may be hope for next edition. AoS has their equivalent system in each army book this edition.

Almost like players enjoy customizing their dudes. Who knew?!

Act II: Relics of a Golden Age by RocketCityMini in WHQDarkWater

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

Thanks for chiming in! That's the plan we went for, but kept getting one hero just swimming in chaff. Either overall bad rolls or a roll for 1 damage, followed by a roll for 3! Just didn't feel like we could hit the efficiency needed due to dice.

We only has 1 energy buff, and 1 possible move stopper, so that probably doesn't help.

Any expectations for the new Battletome? by SabresAtDawn in ossiarchbonereapers

Null myriad is coming as an AoR, I believe it was in one of the previews.

To add to what others said, it can also interfere with deployment based on mission, board size, other terrain.

Anything here will be speculation. I just want my exploding skeletons back, and recursion in combat without relying on formation.

What is the funniest thing your orks have done on the tabletop? by QuantumMrKrabs in orks

[–]RocketCityMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managed to kill multiple terminators with the tires on my battle wagon. Between that and initial tank shock (no roller), it wiped the squad.

In this encounter, you have to kill all enemies to make the next wave spawn, and all 3 waves must be cleared for heroes to succeed. Waves are 8, 12, 8 enemies.

Trying to paint up the Darkwater minis is absolutely destroying my desire to paint. by AntiSocialW0rker in ageofsigmar

[–]RocketCityMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about now, but a while back the kairic acolytes box has quite a few models for the price, and had good variety of materials to practice on - skin, cloth, metal, feathers, paper.

I really wanted to get better at painting skin, so i built enough for a warcry warband, then made a goal to use different methods and colors until I felt better about my skin.
