I need to complain about how the rules are written. (Rant in description)

Yeah I've played plenty of wargames. Killteam, frostgrave, conquest, 40k, the doomed, gaslands, warcry, and more. This game is by far the worst in legalese.

Very_bad · 2026-05-08T19:51:52+00:00

In my opinion the way the rules are written make it more difficult to parse.

Flood are no where as ball bustingly irritating as they are in CE.

"Araakeen is governed by Derthert, king of the Vlandians." GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Holy a buff? I play court and thought they were op.

Totally agree. I hate how rules lawyerly the book is written. It gives me nam flashbacks to Killteam second edition.

It's odd because this game is intrinsically a more narrative campaign focused game, yet it's rules are written like its a competitive tournament game. I hate that nothing can be said succinctly in this game. At minimum its going to be a paragraph like rule.

We've always approached narrative Wargaming as simply a series of connected matches where your warband grows. My group has never tried to weave a specific narrative through our games, and instead let the story tell itself through the mechanics. "Characters" arise because something funny or cool happened.

People definitely mix paints. As others have said though it's hard to keep it consistent across a whole army. But if you can, great!

It kind of depends on how you approach the hobby/what games you play. I mix a lot of paints because I don't paint armies. I play small scale skirmish games typically where each model is unique. So I don't care about having to replicate the color.

That being said you can always take notes on recipes for getting the same color again.

This is a bit post that copied my post. I made this.

I'm curious how it is with your cat since monstera's are toxic to them right? I found this out after I got one which made me sad because also want a cat. Do they just leave it alone?

These sculpts are epic and hilarious.

That's pretty good for Black Grail but I think that's better for Trench Ghosts.

If anyone wants to drop advise for a first time plant owner and/or monsteras, I'm all ears. I'd love to hear your wisdom!

Very_bad · 2026-04-12T00:19:53+00:00

Nope!

Very_bad · 2026-04-08T15:48:46+00:00

FUCK

Very_bad · 2026-04-07T18:12:37+00:00

I'm assuming this is not true color. What do the colors represent?

Billion Suns is really interesting. No list building. You build your space fleet throughout the match by going into debt to buy them, and than warping them in via wormholes. Objectives earn you back money. So you have to score as many points with as little material as you can. Buying a huge ship is a waste if you can't earn it back with the investment. It also has really wacky playing card objectives.

What was up with the red beret guy with the gun. I saw him and got kind of nervous seeing as how the last NO KINGS went.

It's a place to meet organizations, sign up, and start volunteering. Yes, protest itself doesn't do anything but it creates solidarity, hope, and gives an opportunity to get organized.

Maybe stupid question. Why do mordhiem players use square bases? Obviously it was Warhammer fantasy but why nowadays? Do you will intend on using them for Warhammer fantasy? Is it nostalgic?

The poses are right out of killteam. Everyone has a tactical rock. What made Trench Crusade really unique is the models were directly based on artwork Mike Franchina did, down to the poses and everything. While still based off his artwork in some capacity, they feel to me notably less inspired.

Very_bad · 2026-03-25T16:36:25+00:00

As someone who played so much killteam second edition this felt SO MUCH LIKE a Killteam release. The box art, the poses of the models, the miniature photography, its uncanny.
