I am calling out Savion47 and Don't Panic from games at WOW!

Feeling a bit left out here... My new glorious PanO's would love to face your Nomad scum!

I discovered an analogy that clicked F2F rolls for me - The Price Is Right. Highest without going over wins.

Bumping this after OFCC -- Let's get some visibility back, and KEEP PLAYING WARHAMMER!

Evan, I will bring our backup battery kit. Fully charged it for the honeymoon, never needed it.

I'm in. Tuesdays and Thursdays are rough for me, but I can make most any other days work for now.

Woe! Woe betide those  who.....  aw forget it.

I'll be there! 

I will play in escalation! Time to give my rats some attention.

Gentlemen,

With all this talk of AoS, and the prematurity of the demise of 8th edition, I would like to take, in effect, a survey.  I truly enjoyed 8th edition, far more than my experience with previous editions, but, alas, it was never perfect.  No system ever is, for that matter.  On that note, I am curious as to what each of you feel is were some of the drawbacks, rules shortcomings, specific balance issues, etc, present in 8th edition WFB.

In conversation, some friends and I have already come up with a couple points of contention:

6-dice-monkey magic

Cannon sniping

Steadfast

Unstable

Give me your top 3!

"National Championships"*

*decided not by the players playing the game

And METAL BOXES!!!

Nate, still got those chaos characters? I might be interested after I get back.

Get married

If you would like to peruse some in person, Roy at Dice Age Games carries a fair bit of convertin' bitz, from maxmini, kromlech and others.  My Silver Helms have alt shields, thanks to his selection.

To be fair, 3 of those charges were in the 8-9 range. Not exactly the best spot on the bell curve.

Mr Veskit, I hate to be that guy, but the fantasy packet was uploaded in the first week of February. On the page which lists acceptable armies, it clearly indicates both LoC and HotEK. A bit late, bro. That being said, OFCC is more about the event. Even bad OFCC matches are leagues better than most games in a given year. Embrace the suck!

3000 topics in this sub forum? HOLY SMOKES! I am proud to be a small part of this awesome community, quite possibly the best place to chat WHFB on the web, and for sure the best group of guys to play with! Even if WarHAmmEr 1$ RuINZeDdd!!1?! On a regular basis :)

Power went STRAIGHT to his head...

<----- is used to posts in this forum.  Apologies.

Sooooooo..... Somebody gonna open WoW today? I need some WFB.

Pretre, can you add spoiler tags to that post, or can a mod do it, so we don't have to scroll a half mile each time the page reloads? Esp on mobile.

Seriously though, it's all good. Relax.

Here's the thing, John. For many of the people having difficulties and reacting thusly, you have to remember that they have invested into this hobby. I refer, of course, to more than just a monetary investment, but a emotional, temporal, and social one. I know I would not be the same person I am today without the hobby. For multitude of reasons, let alone DMB.

Decades of investment, which now pay the following dividends: From their perspective, GW has basically said "Thanks for the cash, suckers, can we get some more?"

Should they be pissed off? Yea, I think so. Do they have the right to complain about it on their social network of choice, You betcha. I don't think belittling their opinions as "crying about skinned knees" really applies.

Personally, I'm waiting. Am I going to sell off my elves, abandon the game system, and become a curmudgeonly bastard whining about "in my day". No. Not worth my time. But am I upset about the rumored change in direction? Hooooooo yea. I play Fantasy Battles. Not Fantasy Skirmish. If I wanted to do that, there are better, more well rounded, more enjoyable systems out there. Besides. I've still got my book for 8th.

I'm going to echo RD here, Matt. Against a doomwheel, I would not have been able to focus fire on your Clanrat bunker that early - and only would have had S4 to deal with it. PG may have been able to stand up to it, but my LSG bunker would have crumbled. Not to mention, the dice gods were against you. Failed panic checks meant your GR regiment never got a good shot off against my Eagle Noble - that many poison shots against a 3 wound model is no bueno. I'm also a fan of less slaves, more StormVermin. Not only are the models super awesome, the are slightly more reliable, both against shooting, and in combat.

I'm interested.  Any chance of meeting at the Rampage (Short notice, I know)

[big bad swear word]!  Hold the phone, I was able to find somebody to cover last-minute.  I will attend!

That won't completely save you from the mocking.  A bit, but not completely.

Wait, a spoon from raindog? Big spoon or Little spoon? I'm curious for.. A friend.
