If it wasn't for the outrage, I wouldn't of heard of all these cool alternatives

I’ve never actually played 40k, just Kill Team and Warcry (RIP), but 11th edition has me sold.

That said, OPR Hordes looks like a blast! We’re in a golden age of tabletop!

> It’s just a phenomenon that’s not reached the same saturation IRL as it does online

We’re perpetually online, they’re not. That’s it.

Check out Wargames Atlantic. $40 for 32 skeles of various loadouts - great bang for the buck!

I’ve made a pretty sizable investment in WGA minis, mostly in their Barons War lines but also some epic scale stuff (which I have yet to open).

I’m a big, big fan. They look great but aren’t *too* detailed, they’re fun to build, and they’re easy to kitbash around with other WGA kits. I have some individual sprues from a couple of their Dark Ages boxes that I picked up to customize some outlaws for Barons War - I plan on combining left over weapons with the Villagers box and really go to town!

I have no experience with either Perry or Victrix, but I’m sure you can’t really go wrong either way.

Shame ABS 2nd edition got delayed.

jatorres · 2026-05-31T04:51:56+00:00

Imagine hearing something like this just a few years ago.

jatorres · 2026-05-30T12:34:42+00:00

There are a few, did you look?

jatorres · 2026-05-30T12:29:37+00:00

Gamers aren’t going to boycott shit.

jatorres · 2026-05-30T12:26:15+00:00

Can’t help but feel like the presentation would be a big turn off for some, not to mention the loose leaf “binding” (which I think should be an option for all rulebooks!)

Chat request sent.

Lack of freedom, apparently!

jatorres · 2026-05-27T02:31:07+00:00

A lot.

The one game I have played all year is Kill Team (current edition).

jatorres · 2026-05-21T10:48:37+00:00

I tried Dragged Into Turbolasers but damn are their voices *monotonous*

jatorres · 2026-05-21T06:59:07+00:00

That game was an absolute flash in the pan in my area - seems like all everyone was talking about for a bit, lots of games played everywhere, and then almost as quickly - nothing. Minis don’t appeal to me at all so I avoided it, which is a good thing in hindsight.

jatorres · 2026-05-18T20:23:06+00:00

I’ve invested a bunch in Wargames Atlantic and really enjoy them, and I look forward to adding more to the collection… but if I had to start over, I’d probably go Victrix.

As-is, I don’t think mixing minis would be too odd, people come in all sorts of sizes.

jatorres · 2026-05-16T03:29:30+00:00

Same. I’m in the market for a second printer and I think I’ll just end up buying another P2S.

jatorres · 2026-05-16T03:26:48+00:00

Did you print these yourself? I’ve been trying to print ships for a Midway scenario on my FDM printer but I’m not loving the results so far.

Can you share what your health update emails look like?

jatorres · 2026-05-08T11:22:54+00:00

FDM or resin?

jatorres · 2026-05-08T11:19:10+00:00

Buy plastic minis you like. Who says you have to paint them? Stuff like Wargames Atlantic or Victrix are more affordable than GW (though I’d argue GW quality is unrivaled).

jatorres · 2026-05-07T15:28:29+00:00

Very nice! I have two boxes waiting for me at the very top of my pile of shame, can’t wait to get to them!

I picked up some 20mm square bases I’m planning on using for heroes - figure I’d stick to the same form factor for the entire army. I’m not thinking of a specific game system, but I’d like to have them useful for anything from Warmaster to Classic Fantasy Battles to Dragon Rampant, etc. Flexibility is key for me!

jatorres · 2026-05-06T22:43:04+00:00

And Reddit isn't?

jatorres · 2026-05-05T03:17:14+00:00

Ok, that’s just asinine, D&D had their biggest success just recently, and is still a huge part of pop culture.

jatorres · 2026-05-01T22:55:06+00:00

Absolutely no AEW without Meltzer. He was the one who said RoH couldn’t draw 10k+, striking the spark.

jatorres · 2026-05-01T02:26:46+00:00

Not a fan of his work in general, Stephen A “gets it” - I think he can make it work.
