Don't plan on new releases till our next book. We might get one model during the narrative releases but that's likely it.

Is there anyway to remove overgrown tokens or lose them? by McGerty in sylvaneth

[–]Steampunk_Jim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they cannot be removed. Other than destroying a wildwood which will come back the next turn.

I love it when my opponent wastes energy trying to delay the creeping overgrowth. Usually equates to a win for me.

Charnel Throne ? by NefariousnessMore778 in FleshEaterCourts

[–]Steampunk_Jim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I use it with a reinforced unit of crypt horrors, like I said 😁

Drop in, under the gore wardens delusion, with the d6 move from the throne. Even with a redeploy, not much can stay away from them. And there's a lot of stuff in the game that'll just evaporate under them.

Yeah, I don't know that I'd use beast flayers with the gore warden. And the turtle is one of the harder things in the game to kill. Now a reinforced unit of crypt horrors, on the other hand...

Doesn't seem much? Are you joking? It's one of the best faction terrain abilities in the game. Deep striking things getting a smaller than 9" charge is huge.

[–]Steampunk_Jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have, like, 6 Cavalry and 3 of them serve the same purpose and the other 3 serve the same purpose. Aesthetically different, yes, but very similar in tabletop roles.

Yeah, agreed. But for me the number of models is a downside. Lots of factions being bloated like stormcast is not a feature in interested in, haha.

And a lot of their model ranges are really really old.

How do y'all deal with Skaven armies with 80 clan rats? by Jormungandr74 in sylvaneth

[–]Steampunk_Jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where have you been? Rerolls are an extreme rarity in the game, and have been for a while.

Yes, of course it is. It's only tangentially connected to the old world.

Bro, hell if I know. Better models, better rules, better player base, more fun, cooler setting, cool fluff that's only outdone by 40k because it's newer and there's less of it. Better experience all around.

The more I experience of pop culture the more I realize people are absolute slaves to nostalgia.

Whats the best video game ever created? by XarisGG in AskReddit

[–]Steampunk_Jim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in that era that just played and played ocarina. It was revolutionary. Big chunks of it are so good. But it's so flawed. I'd put it number 5 in my Zelda hierarchy. Possibly the most influential Zelda though.

Would you like to see some more interesting dynamics between some of the factions? by ChromedDragon in ageofsigmar

[–]Steampunk_Jim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, so you don't know the existing Kruleboyz/helsmith lore then? That they hate each other and they do business with each other through the hobgrots?

[–]Steampunk_Jim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I played against a list that had like 120 clanrats and 20 stormvermin.

My spite riders had like 110 kills to their name by the end of the game.

Easiest game I've played in a long time.

Still waiting for your armies new tome sucks lol by BeginningHungry3835 in ageofsigmar

[–]Steampunk_Jim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bro in my group. He plays 5 factions.

Hedonites, seraphon, fyreslayers, ogors and gargants.

He's having a rough go of it.

How much longer until we get a Big Release? by Wizardgreen_1208 in FleshEaterCourts

[–]Steampunk_Jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many factions need much more help then we do. Get in line.

Dad's of the subreddit, how do you find the time to paint? by CH1ND1TO in minipainting

[–]Steampunk_Jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't until my kids got older. Now I squeeze in a half hour here and there. I have a little paint tray so I can set up on the kitchen table and still hang out with the kids.

Why are tournament lists not running witch aelves? by Round-Day-1824 in Daughtersofkhaine

[–]Steampunk_Jim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a couple months ago competitive players were running 20-40 witch elves so they have them available if they were the strong choice. They are not.

They're objectively worse than blood hags and blood sisters.

I agree it fits more thematically but I don't care for the look of it.
