Mr. White Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 So, with the boards being double sided....is any one doing anything to take precautions from wear and tear as a board face rubs a table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 No not really, wouldn't care too much about it either. What you could do to prevent any boardwear is walk around with a clear pvc sheet and have a larger mousemat below it but in all honesty this is akin to protecting your playing board from gaming with Age of Sigmar. For the game damaged boards are a non-issue unless they are litterly missing parts of the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think for it to be an issue, you will have needed to have been quite rough with your boards. But if you really are concerned, just use a mousemat or a sheet to protect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I also think that if players expect very rough play you could still make something very awesome with a regular PVC sheet and basically replicate the boards.@Gaz Taylor did Blood and Glory also mention something about different boards? I mean we saw a lot of cool scenery ideas allready but I also think different printed boards could be really cool. Imagne an arena for Khorne, graveyard for Sepulchral guard, scrapcamp for Orruks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool idea but not sure it would commercially be viable as well as it would impact Matched Play rules. Its possible for future stuff I'm sure if there is enough demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 There is scenery coming out for Shadespire? Pictures? It seems different printed boards would be a snap and an easy way to make $$$. GW could even keep the same layouts (so far as how the hexes are marked for obstructions) as the base boards, but simply print different graphics underneath for various themes per Killax's examples.

Gaz Taylor Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 No official scenery, but some third parties have been looking into it. It's something I'll look into if they look nice enough finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that any copy of the board hex layout and deployments could work on any surface. 3 minutes ago, Mr. White said: There is scenery coming out for Shadespire? Pictures?

Third parties are working on something awesome. But as it's all still in the making I do not know when or if it will be sold. More specifically I would understand why Games Workshop would like to prevent it Pictures above, don't ask me where or who will eventually sell it... Looks great though!

Mr. White Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I've got some third party scenery....very durable, prepainted, soft plastic. It's great. I'll post some photos when I get home in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallack Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Is done by the guys that run steamforge I think, is in the FB group and they have a really good 3d printer, like a 70k or 90k one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attackmack Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Just like x-wing dials and acoustic guitars, wear and tear shows youve used it and only gives it character! And if you ever find that youve broken your board, youve probably earned yourself a second corebox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So I don't use both sides of my Bloodbowl board, but I've still got the same one I bought almost 10 years ago. It's definitely getting on in it's time, but still perfectly serviceable (The only bit that's pretty rough is it's managed a hole in it's centre due to being a 4 fold board). I suspect that Shadespire boards are going to do just fine, and due to the hint about 'new boards', are likely to get some different styled boards every year or two. So overall, it likely won't be a huge issue if your core set boards don't last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 You're probably right, but my initial thought is that the back of those 3rd ed BB boards is all black and perhaps a little more durable than the front side with the printed and glued graphic...if I remember those boards correctly. If that's the case, the back of a BB board may be more resiliant to table wear than the front. Imagine the front side of that BB rubbing tables for 10 years. Would it still be in good shape?

Killax Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm a firm believer of any scenery working. Because the only gripe I have with premade stuff like this is that players stop being creative and the best terrain is unique terrain aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pieces above look amazing and if they go on sale, Ill likely pick some up, but I wouldnt want people stop making their own stuff! Like Tea_Wild_Owl's terrain showed off in another thread around here, simply amazing! This being a boardgame with hexes gives us a small advantage; we can cut pieces of terrain with straight edges to fit into the hexes and it will look great! No need to hide the fact that it is on a board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually think the front of the board gets more wear and tear than the bottom. I mean, at the end of the day you're moving miniatures, rolling dice, etc on the top of the board, while the bottom is firmly placed onto the table. Dunno, I'd have to check my Bloodbowl board at home. It's certainly seen better days, but still perfectly useable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a dice tower or roll on the box, is easier and doesn't move miniatures or tokens!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really quite appeal to me, because you lose something because you're not really 'rolling' the dice anymore, just dumping them down a tower or shaking a cup around. But yes, those are definitely issues with rolling on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho my wife manages to drop them sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
