    Oh, I’m sorry Derk... we could play some Malifaux too. Perhaps this way you won’t forget about your miners all game! Lol

    I would like to play your Gremlins sometime though. 

    Oh don't worry, in Malifaux there are a lot more things for me to forget for the whole game!

    The real issue is that I absolutely couldn't stand either of the main characters, and for me, they ruined all the stuff that was done right. Good atmosphere, good monsters, but I spent way too much time not appreciating those because they were overwhelmed by my desire to reach through the screen and smack the leads. However technically well-done a film may be, if it focuses on people I hate, I'm going to hate the flick as a whole.

    Don't worry, one day you'll learn to love again.

    I honestly can't remember how bad or good the main characters are, I saw the movie in 2010...

    Monsters: I have no idea what this movie was supposed to be about. I think there was something metaphorical about immigration, and the script/director seemed to be under the misapprehension that the two leads had any chemistry whatsoever, and that the various problems in their way were just kind of acts of the universe, or bad luck. Basically all their problems were the male lead's fault , as he questioned and argued with everyone they needed to trust, and then got hammered when they could have been perfectly safe, resulting in them getting robbed. The overall vibe was sort of like one of those student films where it's trying way too hard to be deep and meaningful, but ends up just being confusing and stupid.

    When you finally do get to see the creatures, tho, they're pretty cool.

    Umm...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters_(2010_film)

    Here's some choice facts about the film from Wikipedia:

    *Monsters is a 2010 British science fiction monster film written and directed by Gareth Edwards in his feature film directorial debut. Edwards also served as the cinematographer, production designer, and visual effects artist.

    *Filming took place in five countries, and many locations were used without permission. Most of the extras were people who were at these locations during filming and were persuaded to act in it; all of their dialogue was improvised, and Edwards provided outlines of the primary plot points.

    *The film received generally positive reviews and was a box office success, grossing US$ 4.2 million against a budget of less than $500,000.

    The whole thing really turned out pretty amazing... but if you went in expecting a high budget low plot monster movie you were in the wrong place.

    I imagine you will take flaming on your war machines next time :D.

    That rundown of the General+KG was pretty nuts. It is strange to me that Greybeards dont give a flip, but the super smashy doom unit with a King gets gobbled up like some skinks. That was some 8th edition type of punishment for rolling two dice the wrong way.

    Well, in theory the Greybeards and Kingsgaurd should have been within 6" of each other... I sorta fumbled my deployment and the Greybeards were stuck way to far field. Pretty much a newb error and I realized it was bad at the end of deployment... but it was too late then.

    Fair enough! My personal opinion is that a mono-Pestilence army is pretty fair and fun army, and is pretty far from being a "hard" 9th Age list, even with all the goodies. Then again, I know Josh kicked a lot of but with it last weekend, so maybe I'm wrong! 

    Well my game went south on one bad Ld roll, so it's hard to say how it would have gone, but the dwarfs could not really compete with any of his units once the Hammerers and General were gone.

    Oh I'm sorry, I thought my opponent was supposed to have fun too :P

    Seriously though, I left the default spell type (or whatever it is called) as I have no idea on any of them. Like I said, this is a quick "see what it looks like".

    Contamination... lets be honest... it was no fun to face on the field last weekend... I plan to skip it. I think the army will have plenty of nastiness without it. I know it is the bonus for the mono list... but you've never seen the bonus of the glee I get with a whole plaguey army on the field!

    For the Father (and other upgrades) I was flat outta points and squeezing models already. In Old Warhammer, it was upgrades that really took them over the top so I'd rather err on the side of a fun game for two players. (again, just testing the waters at this point).

  24. Army Builder Options?

    in Fantasy Battles (9th Age, WFB, etc.)

    Posted

    So battle scribe works, but it is really clunky and hard to use. I tried 9thbuilder.com and while it is a pretty nice interface they do not seem to have all the points right... what is the point of a builder if you have to do all the math anyway?

    I don't feel that I really get my money worth out of a subscription service like Army Builder...

    So, any other army construction tools out there?
