Yeah I think I am just an old dog and hard to teach new tricks.

Lol well there are a lot of wounds left over from 7th I guess. Wait was that 7th? I am kinda lost now with what book was where.. I like to know what the perceived thoughts are on an army just as much as the actual results. I will never forget a 40k game I had where I had a vindicator Space Marine tank keep half a table because my opponent was terrified of it. If I know what will bring up the bristles, sometimes it's worth it to avoid that just to make for a better game.

Yeah I have a set that I was going to make for 40k but they are mostly based off some necron items. Not sure that will fit well in the old world. I can assure you ratrek, that I will only bring the cannon if I have a core of Khorne. Just feels all dirty like otherwise.

Yeah the only thing I would need is some beasts to keep it in the Nurgle side.

I am still under the weather so I will probably just kibitz some fantasy games this week.

I am delving into the new Deamons army book and trying to get a feel on the mono god vs mixed armies. I currently can fill up a mono Nurgle army easily. Two large units of plague bearers with a GD a few heralds, a unit of beasts and two soul grinders, mostly because I can and have them painted. I can add a core unit from tzeentch and Khorne. I have 5 juggernauts, 6 flamers, a GD of each. The main thing I would look at would be a Khorne cannon. Any suggestions on the deamons?

Indeed. I am kind of holding back until I see my Ork book to play more.

The WD article doesn't say. It says you can take one as an allied detachment. Doesn't say for whom. So either they are going to have their own book or it's for anyone...

And of course dark tower hooked me up a deal that works for me. Hardest question is whether I loot it, mark for a chaos god or the emperor

I am severly tempted by this. I wish I could give the money to the local store with this discount. I doubt I can find a way to spend the $140 for a model.

We have a great geoup of 11 people tonight. Playing zombicide star wars living card game and eclipse.

I would love to play a game of the base edition. Next week sounds great.

Yeah I think going on the road is the thing that gets lost here. For me, I am anti-social at heart and have a hard time setting up games. I play in tournaments a lot because I can guarantee I will come down and play 3 games in a day. It's really hard to figure out what type of games I am going to get if I want to drive north or south for an event. An event like OFCC is pretty easy for me, as it has history on it's side. Just some random thoughts on dayquil.

Funny thing is, GW was spending all their efforts wooing the newbies when I was there. I am starting to think all these new rules and such are their way to try and cater to the existing base. It will be interesting to see if it pays off or if they end up burning their candle at both ends.

It's late but it's still coming. Board games this Friday. Nurgle will have to take a back seat now. I am not sure I am with it enough to say what type of game I will bring, but it will probably be the usual, castle panic, firefly, star trek catan and maybe bloodbowl, the card game. Post to get a group going or whatever, see ya Friday. Oh and first saturday in April is the Tabletop game day. http://www.tabletopday.com/item/dark-tower-games/

I love what you said Jim. I just wish they could go down this road and still have a tight rules set. Look at magic. It has a great set of rules and constant changes in available cards. This creates a giant open world of possibilities. When you come down to play magic you have a type, standard, constructed, draft, Modern, ect. For me, I enjoy magic in draft and in the computer games. Just really don't want to play the pay to win game. Prefer the strategy of the game not the wallet. I think you were right in that the social group is going to have figure out a way to explain the type of game they want to play. The only real issue here is that this limits the games potential and makes it really hard for new players. New game formats usually mean more money, which is a barrier to entry. I would prefer if there was a more standard rules set that was easier to branch off with. The problem is that they can't seem to write two codex's the same way or the same power level, so each codex feels like an expansion, with new rules and power levels. So to answer the question at hand, I am not stoked about the direction, but I am happy I live in the Northwest where the gaming groups have the right idea to make it work.

Ok great. Kind of what I was thinking based on my readings, thanks!

So are the rules only going to be available in the weekly white dwarf?

Any suggestions of what to look out for in Deamons?

Yes add me to the bail list. Papa Nurgle has made a home inside my lungs so I will have to resist his calls to infect more.

Yeah that might turn out better, didn't really like that part of the model.

The first step in my slow building Dwarf Army, the Gyrobomber. http://imgur.com/a/4J0DW I used the blighted gold from the privateer line with a green wash for most of it. I really like the gold but am not super happy with the silver metals. Gives me a good start on the color scheme I want. Next step is to get some dwarfs, which might not be for a bit lol.

Anyone interesting in Mantic's Deadzone? It releases this week so I would like to try it out some more now that it's available. I have models available for four of the factions.

Tonight games for those that dont have anything to do.

That is disappointing. Oh well I guess the dwarf copter will be turned into a sonic villian for my orks.
