  1. +++ MOD HAT +++ Because you quoted and then repeated the bit that was inappropriate 🤷‍♂️
  2. +++ MOD HAT +++ As a reminder, if you have an issue with another post, please report it and let the mods sort it. Please don't repost it as that causes us a lot more work to tidy up
  3. +++ MOD HAT +++ Appreciate feelings are running quite high on supply issues and what armies are being supported initially. Please bear in mind that TGA isn't the place to rant and rage about things like this.
  4. +++MOD HAT+++ Can we get back onto rumours please rather than rambling about The Old World? Please remember this is an AoS based forum
  5. +++ MOD HAT +++ Just tidied a few posts up - not really appropriate to a family friendly forum.
  6. Heyho all. Trying to be good and clearing out stuff before I put it on a shelf to gather dust! From the new Seraphon box, I have the following: 1 x Slann - £45 1 x Warscroll & Enhancement Cards - £20 10 x Saurus Warriors - £35 10 x Saurus Warriors - £35 Would be looking plus P&P and UK based please
  7. Heyho all! Hope you're all enjoying the new battletome? I'm canvasing for opinions - I'm looking to put together a 1000 point Starborn Seraphon list. The intention is that this will be half of what will be a doubles army - my friend's army is Saurus based and I want mine to be non-Saurus based (i.e. magic/skink heavy). Obviously in 1k that makes things very tight! Where would people think about starting?
  8. I did consider having some pre-populated unit rules names like mount etc. The challenge is that not everything is consistent across ranges, so I went for free text on the "Unit Rule Name" bit. Feel free to create a suggestion though on GitHub which is how I'm collating together all ideas and suggestions together 🙂
  9. Hi all! Really happy to announce that last night, the long overdue update of Warscroll Designer went live. It's been a from the ground up rewrite and took a lot longer than I anticipated! However it's given me a great opportunity to rework everything and implement various new features and improvements. I've completely moved over to the v3 styled warscroll and it should be fully compatible with any warscrolls that have been saved. https://runebrush.pa-sy.com/warscroll/ There is now also a GitHub issue tracker where you can register bugs and feature suggestions.
  10. Some of this comes down to the way damage is allocated to models in 40k. A single attack doesn't spill/splash over, so a damage 10 attack going into a model with a single wound will kill that model (obliterate it into mist) but not going to hurt his buddy. This allows you to have high strength/damage single shot weapons in 40k without making that weapon excel at killing all units on the board. Mortal wounds are the exception, as these do splash over.
  11. Bit late to the party on this one 😉 The short answer is they already do. Gorechosen, Elector Counts, Fireteam, Bladeborn, Doomsday, Lost Relic & Blitzbowl are all examples of games produced that I would consider "game in a box" where you pick up the boxed set in a shop and have everything you need to play it. Sadly many of them are region locked for reasons I've never fathomed What we have seen is GW struggle to keep on top of everything they produce though. Cardboard production has been a thorn in their side for many years now as much of it is done in China with the horrific logistics issues we've seen in recent years. That's resulted in GW pulling back to focus on things they can support & manufacture in house. Board games that have long term support (and purchasable in GW stores) you've largely just Underworlds and Bloodbowl. Both work out the box with the teams in them, but have support mostly through miniature releases. The new Rivals format introduced a couple of seasons ago in Underworlds means that you don't need to keep up to date with every item being released now. Would I like to see more board games? Absolutely! I've Horus Heresy, Space Hulk, Dreadfleet, Gorechosen & Talisman at home which are all excellent games without the worry about being a brand new game system to learn. None of them have a requirement to paint the miniatures, nor do I need to purchase a mountain of miniatures to play the game fully.
  12. +++ MOD HAT +++ Gentle nudge to try and keep this on track if possible. Quite a lot of talk about 40k and WHFB 😉
  13. Have to say that I agree with the general consensus here. In principal, Mortal Wounds are a great way of having that "scary attack" that will easily damage the toughest of opponents. The trouble is the world and their mum has it. That's resulted in most armies needing to have some kind of ignore damage/ward roll - which complicates the game and can make some units exceptionally harder to kill than they should be. Ultimately in my eyes MW's should really be confined to characters and magic - certainly not on a horde unit and certainly not on most ranged attacks. I think the biggest challenge is that AoS at it's core is simple. A unit's "toughness" is represented by their wounds and the save attribute, but that doesn't really work when you've more complex ideas like poison. Even the save roll is an abstraction and combines armour, deftness, tattoos etc, so it's impossible to create mechanics that interact with one item of that abstraction. I've said for ages in my group of friends, that modifying the rend on an attack would have a much better play experience in a lot of instances, having a bonus -1 rend on a to hit roll of a 6 for an arrow makes a huge amount of sense. A -2 rend bonus on a wound roll from a giant's club also works. However MW's are now baked into the foundations of most armies and the way they counter other forces, so it'd need an almost complete reset to reduce the number of MW's in the game. An army with low rend will struggle against heavily armoured forces and ethereal causes it's own world of complication.
  14. +++ MOD HAT +++ Appreciate that many of you will be unhappy about the pending price rise, however the rumour thread isn't the place to discuss it. Please consider a separate thread to discuss in a rational and non-ranty manner
  15. +++ MOD HAT +++ If it looks like there's spam in a thread could people report it rather than quoting it and perpetuating the spam? Would have thought it was obvious, but clearly not...
