Do you know when abouts you'll be around on Friday? Would be happy to get a game in with you ☺
I'll be heading up after work, probably with a brief stop by home. I get off at 2:30 so that will likely put me in the Portland area around 4:30-5ish. Unfortunately that leaves me at not a prime time to get across the bridge into the 'Couv. Depending on timing and traffic I'll probably lay low at my brothers house for a bit while that clears up.

I'll look into bringing my toys... but I might be trying to learn 9th age the day before the event.

Anyone want to split a room at the Hilton? That might make my decision process easier.
The Hilton Brehk's house has room. And is the exact right price.

OK, I'm in and booked my room as well. I'll be showing up Friday night...so I'll be looking for someone to play a game with Friday as that will likely be my first game of 9th age.
See y'all in July!
I am not sure when I'll be there Friday, and I had hoped to do a game before then.,. but likely I'll be in the same boat.

Lion of Flanders is on Team "We haven't played this before" with me. 23 other newbies and we'll be good to attend!

After some consideration and the feedback above I have come up with a new list. Still very based on what I already have painted (with a few new models I am working on). This is models and basic equipment only I have not kitted out characters and such yet. Currently clocking in at 4291, it leaves me with a sad little 209 to spend on upgrades so I'll probably need to trim some fat to squeeze a few more points in.

Yes you can.

Two turns does not a campaign make....
-
Are you guys still doing this?
-
I am going to try to get it on the table in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my group engaged with it through the campaign.
-
I am in the same boat... maybe we should follow each other so we can all seem interesting?

Seems no one has an opinion on anvils and rune smiths...
How much dispel power tends to be needed in games? Back in 8th I know a lot of people just liked one low level Mage for dispels, does the same trend carry into 9th?
-
How do people feel about runesmiths vs anvils? I am not sure how much magic to expect so it is hard to know if the higher level dispel is cooler than the other spells on the anvil.
Also, can the anvil move? I did not notice a restriction but figure I might be missing it.

Experience has taught me small arms fire from dwarf bodies is superior to flame cannons. They just don't do enough damage for the cost. You might get 2-3 shots before they attack it or get into the lines. I'm better at ninth than I was any other edition. But every meta is different and you might have a great idea.
I certainly do not have experience with the cost effectiveness of the war machines vs other shooters, but it seems like the flame cannon is superior to the regular cannon as it is 100 points cheaper with the range upgrade and does 1.5 times the hits on average with a higher strength and Flaming. The only spot it lacks is on the first hit and the range in comparison.
Back in the days of 8th the Dwarf shooters were better at many jobs than the war machines... with the machines pretty seriously nerfed I imagine they are looking even better. I may need to paint some more up.
-
What is your beef with eh flame cannon? I see the range issue, but with the +6 inch upgrade it seems pretty decent.
-
Any one played this yet? I just picked it up for about half price. Looks really interesting but I'd be lying if the permanent alteration of the game while playing does not go wholly against my nature.

Yeah but they'd have to play against you! :P
-
So I have just been reading the Artillery rules... wow... cannons seem lame. Assuming I understand correctly, you get roll to hit, then if hit you get the number of hits equal to the ranks of the unit hit, one hit of which is S10 multiple wounds while the rest are super crappy S3 with no bonus' what so ever. I do not see any reason you'd take a single cannon over 2 bolt throwers for the price. It also really seems like Organ Guns and magic'd up flame cannons would be far superior artillery choices.
