  1. Durning playtesting is the focus put on new armies, or are old armies like BCR or dissposed other mentioned, play tested too?
  2. ok, that is sad. I guess I will just wait for next edition or something.
  3. Any words on priests or casters for BCR, or maybe a merg with other oger factions ?
  4. Any news or rumors about an ogor/BCR join up, or a BCR updated book for 2ed?
  5. Any knews about a possible ogor merge or BCR battletome update?
  6. I play beast claw riders. ??? Now I don't know what is the definition of imminent, but when was the last time BCR or destruction got anything updated? I know that BCR are, baring GW messing up some rules, will never be the best army. That spot will always be reserved for armies with much bigger number of models. I am ok with that. But I don't think it is ok to design factions with them missing important parts of the game. Specially as at the same time as the new edition came, they brought out the General Handbook. Would it have been such a huge problem for GW to remove the shoting option from the huskard, something all other players seem to hate, and turn them in to a priest or wizard? I don't get the easy to play comment. GW itself gave the recipe for playing BCR, it is charge and get good rolls. There is no army with a more simple game play in the entire game. But simple does not equal good. The good armies often have a skill cap, that is not trivial or at least requires to learn what to do what unit to activate when you charge with your blob of evocators. I am sure a lot of BCR, or even destruction players would welcome such level of difficulity. But no is saying that AoS got nothing. there was a new edition for example. They did update two armies, even if those were the armies that they just updated in 1st ed, but there was new stuff. Again I have no problem with other people getting stuff for games they play. But I don't understand why people who do not play w40k or necromunda should be happy about those. Or is it being happy that others get stuff? If that is the case, then ok. If people like me are suppose to be happy, that someone gets stuff for his necromunda, then they should, or at least I am assuming they should, understand that destruction not getting any updates in like a year and a half may make some people unhappy. It should work both ways. But it seems like the only accepted thing is to be happy all the time about everything, and any discontent is being viewed as you want GW to die, AoS to flop hard and probablly Trump win a second term.
  7. Not having a caster of some sort means that in multiple scenarios you have a 2k pts lists with almost no scoring units. Also no magic protection means some real unfun times, if your opponent happens to bring one of their own. A
  8. puting a new edition out and then giving it 0 support for 6 months seems crazy. Meta stagnets after a month of two, what does GW expect people to do if thee army that they have or want to start isn't the top 3 right now? Wait, and hope that next year there is going to be new stuff, is techniclly an option, but you would have to be sure that it is your faction that is going to be updated first. If not you could be looking at a year or more of no updates So because GW did something really bad in the past, now that it does something bad, it is ok? Doesn't seem like a good argument in favor of such game design to me. Plus it is only effective on people that played in those days. If someone started in AoS 1st edition or wants to start right now, it doesn't help those people much. Cool, so if your army has no wizards and narrative is not the dominate way to play, what did your army get in form of fixs in the new edition? Stories don't help a bad army get better, plus am not even sure BCR actually had any stories about them durning the campaign.
  9. Well non destruction stuff, when your a destruction player isn't really helping much. In fact if people get more ways to play, there is always the chance, that suddenlllly your army gets hard countered. There is nothing good coming from other people geting stuff ever. But as you said we still have tomorrow, who knows maybe there is going to be a whole AoS day.
  10. Wouldn't it just died if it was on fire or am I missing some joke? Well here is to GW saying something about destruction tomorrow, otherwise the next few months look rather bleak.
  11. I don't know the best know vampire is dracula and that litterly means dragon.
  12. Well I don't really care much about tournaments, I won't win games at them anyway, so it is waste of entry fee money. I asked about the FW stuff, because here no one uses the rules and the dragons seem to be better versions of huskards with their range attacks not degrading with wounds. But FW use fixed itself for me, asked at the store and all people said that the rules are illegal for the games we play. Maybe it is a local thing, but it is not like I can play with a different set of rules.
  13. How do people make their opponents agree to using FW models in their games, I went through the 2.0 rule book like 3 times and can't find a place where they say that using FW rules is legal for matched played?
  14. What is a magma dragon? Are there any safe destruction models to buy right, stuff that people know GW won't nerf with a new book or faq? If they would work with BCR it would be nice too.
  15. I do all that and had 0 success in 1st ed, and it did not change in 2ed. In fact it seems like the gap only got wider. LoN is more or less unbeatable unless they do something really stupid or the dice are loaded. Haven't play lizards since the nerf, so no idea how they work right now. Got trashed by SCE alfa strike lists, "normal" phalanx and non phalanx lists. Everything we struggled before, big bases, few models, but having many drops, being hurt chaff, being unable to deal with terrain etc is all there. Now what got added is objectives being caped by wizards, and relic bearing dudes, more magic then ever before, and I can only pray for those BCR players that play where realm rules are used, because what we got out of those is nothing comparing to what other armies get out of it. But am far from being the best or even good player. Who knows maybe BCR are going to dominate the tournaments this autum.
  16. Maybe for other armies, that is true. In general I think that change of a stale meta is a very good thing. Seeing new units being used, new types of armies, are a nice thing. But for BCR the change may as well not have happened. There were some point drops, and that is it. No summoning of yetis, no casters added, and it is not like GW couldn't have based those rules changes around already existing models. Right now it feels as if BCR misses all the new cool mechanics, struggles doing scenarios, and non of it problems from the first edition were fixed. On its own it is bad, but if one considers that other armies not only get different, but also got better, the gap is huge. Not saying other factions have no problems, or that GW didn't do some questionable decisions while making their rules for 2ed, but a LoN or SCE players at least has stuff he may want to play with, I have no idea what could bring a new player to pick up BCR.
  17. single goblin with a spear mega buffed in to doing 16 wounds. Demons getting blown up by a lucky gobbo rolling +5/+6 and the titan failing its +2 sv.
  18. I wonder what armies GW is going to bring out after the orcs/moonclan. The chance of it being another destruction army seems rather low., but it would be cool. Maybe some sort of soup battletome for all destruction ala LoN.
  19. should have given it to everyone. But then again lady of the wood is very efficient.
  20. Not sure if this is a right place for it, if am wrong mods can just delete this, but I have two questions. Does anyone know some sort of guide of how to make a thundertusk in to a stonehorn, when you don't have the head of the model? And my second question is does anyone know how to fix resin models when they start crumble? I got myself a butcher model, but it was warped. A guy at the store told me to heat it up in water and try to bend it back. I did what he said, but instead of bending the butchers legs just broke off and turned in to flakes. Am trying to fix this somehow, but the thing just keeps breaking up. Am down to like 30+pices right now and some are too small to glue up right now.
  21. I think GW should first fix the factions they already put out, or work on destruction subfactions a lot more, before they start adding FW armies in to regular AoS. And if people want to play those so much they can always play disspossed or something like that.
  22. I have seen a very nice Ogor army based on Papuas canibals, dark black skin and "skeleton" style warpaint.
