I've been considering teams, free for all or adapting triumph and treachary. We tried it a couple if times. One time we played Clash at Dawn with 4 warbands. HEAVY on scenery and ruins. We used the triumph and treachery rules from GHB. It was lots of fun. At one point my great sword Knight sir Ian Galas chased a spirit host out of a graveyard and around a corner. There he was brutally gunned down by a bunch of sky pirate dwarfs just waiting for him. Great fun. Another multplayer game was also based on the Clash at Dawn. However this time we placed a daemon Prince of Nurgle in the middle and no models could deploy within 12". I tool control of the daemon Prince and the mission was simple. The warband making the killing blow on the daemon would win a major victory. not saying these battles were the most balanced games, but everyone had loads of fun. BTW. Having your henchmen chased by a daemon Prince puts everyone one the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been considering teams, free for all or adapting triumph and treachary. When I played 4 player skirmish we decided to just roll-off for initiative and keep it fixed for the whole game because it could get so complicated and leave people out of the game for a long time. The only other modification we made was that in the combat phase we only played combats involving that players units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johkmil Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I have found 3 player games of Treasure Hunt or Seize the Relic (use a semicircular wall) to be much more enjoyable than the pure battle of Clash at Dawn. Objectives give you a reason not to devolve everything into a melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Who recalls the formula for calculating a warscroll's reknown value dor skirmish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divide by 5 to go from points to reknown. That works in most all instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a unit, don't you also divide by the number of models in the unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since Skirmish uses individual models instead of whole units at a time, you have to divide the unit cost with the minimum number of models first to get the points cost of the individual model, before dividing by five to get the reknown cost.

erasercrumbs Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 One of my favorite aspects of Skirmish is how it practically invites you to come up with crazy house rules. One of my favorites is something we named 'Splodey Goblin,' in which a grot with a bomb on his back appears every turn to makes things interesting.

AGPO Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've had this idea in the back of my mind for a while to roll up some warbands using the original Realm of Chaos rules from 3rd ed, then sub in some suitable warscrolls and house rule the mutations and gifts. Anyone tried something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasygeek Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hey Skirmishlovers! In case you did not notice. GW just released a new Skirmish battleplan as a part of their beast week. It's about fighting a monster. Just cool to see that Skirmish is getting more official support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Facebook Messenger group to schedule games. I can invite you in the conversation if you'd like (PM me your FB name). No regular days, the store is open 7 days a week and till pretty late. We have a double-team tournament at the end of the month (2 x 1000 pts) and a big 2000 pts one nearby Paris early November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
