Yeah, terrible rules devalue a model. But when points are ascribed to it declaring it's value as a static, then the terrible rules prohibit taking it. With no points, the model can suck, and can be compensated for if it is truly that poor. What a general on a dragon with a stat like of 2...

I don't play 8th, I feel attacked :ghost: [/joking] @Malisteen I don't know. I still think that GW doing no points is better for the game than them agreeing on a points system. I mean, it's less so that a competitive player will "Play competitive games" if you take away their point costs...

You know, when I started painting at 14 I only used like two, maybe three, colours, and they were completely flat. These are so much more amazing, I assume you've been watching your dad for a while now? Or perhaps are simply into artistic things besides this? Quite well, the Grave Guard are...

Ok, well Pivots shouldn't matter, I agree. But with models on the length X width ratio such as the Coven Throne or the likes (You know, like 4 times the length than width) changing orientation means changing distances. If you 90° a Coven Throne you have taken away a good 3-4" of distance from...

Not bad. Although I feel it was perhaps a bit long for conveying a very simple (And feasibly shorter) message. I mean I agree with it, but it seems like you might have a hard time getting the point across to some players, if they aren't as interested in the first place and the video just seems...

Jervis... what a cool guy. This whole topic and thread is quite amazing, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Although I got the feeling that @Pirate Robot Ninja of Death was accepting most of this as fact, rather than the conjecture you properly announced it as @Malisteen . Either way it is...

True life. I'm in about the same boat. But I'd place 40k over most other table-top war games right now, it's become seriously fun IMO. AoS is something I deeply interested in try to find my place in, but as of yet my friends and I (I have played 3 times thus far, with people each playing...

You know, that's one of my biggest issues with Warmahords. Like Emicrania said, it feels a lot like chess, it's just not interactive feeling. I mean obviously you are interacting, but it's VERY different. Malifaux has very back-and-forth interaction, with taking turns between activations...

You meant Bravery drops to 0. But I get the point. That solution is just work intensive though, especially compared to the rules as they stand, but it's certainly a solution. More over, I don't mind points assignments, but I have a feeling I would be in a similar boat as you, questioning some...

Def. works for me as well. Although there is a type-o in the core rules (And every version of the printed 4-page inserts), just after they talk about movement, it says "No part of the model may move further than the model’s Move charracteristic." Luckily "Charracteristic" isn't defined by the...

To be fair, I don't know how well that reflects the younger America. But certainly that is a fair representation of much of the repressed ones, or adults. I have no idea why people value the social avoidances they hold, but it sure is silly. I also know far too little about Europe to get half...

Originally this was part of my reply to @Banat, but I am posting it separately as it is more involved in the AoS topic than the GW conversation with Banat. You know, in case anyone else is reading this. Speaking of FLGS and my AoS experience. I was at the store based on playing, and the guy...

That's so crazy! I would have never thought it was so drastically different across the pond. It's such an odd thought to me, does GW run "official" events like.. tournaments or anything? Especially I'd be curious if they do events with buy ins and prizes. Back when I was getting into...

Well I heard they were being cut back. I guess if it's just story-point that the God has been "Captured" or what ever, then I'm totally fine with that. I don't know that it makes "her" cultist any more inspiring though, from a story perspective. The thought of their cults destroying worlds...

That is certainly a different experience than I am use to! Where are you from exactly, somewhere in Europe (Brittan I assume?). It has been so long since I even saw a real-live GW store, the one closest to me (About an hour) closed probably about 5-7 years ago. It's interesting, because while...

Gaming group is a pretty big deal. Not much you can do if no one you know wants to play it, especially if that extends to FLGS level, where you can't even find people to play if you were interested. It's cool, it is certainly a system I could see many people disliking. I know one friend of...

Ah, so @Mad 'At is trolling me. I felt like I was missing half a conversation with what @Malisteen was saying about female models lol. I guess I won't comment on that topic here though, if @Mad 'At wanted it as it's own. At anyrate, @Seneschal, I certainly wish I had more games. I would...

That sounds interesting a bit. KoW might be worth giving a try, maybe I'll stop by staples/wherever and try to get the rules printed out, how many pages is it? Reading them might be a bit cool, although their models are still dreadfully poor IMO, with the "ghouls" that everyone uses as zombies...

@Malisteen Concurred. Pretty much everything you said is about as legit as I could think of; I really wish I had more time, or perhaps available opponents, to test the game with a good number of matches. In my personal opinion, I feel that the issue with the summoning becomes lessened once...

@Malisteen, yeah but if all your worried about is screening your hero from shooting, the 9" summon restriction shouldn't be too big of an issue for that. Otherwise, if you are failing to be able to summon due to that rule, then you very well are probably in range to charge anyways, which is a...
