  1. I just got a game of 8th last night and it reminded me of all the garbage I didn't like about it. 2nd edition of KoW is better than 8th was, in my opinion! No dreaded 13th/dwellers crippling/killing a general on turn one. No stunties unable to reach the battle. No overpowered magic, and more core! And like Nate said, all units are viable - this isn't a game of netlists. KoW is a game of customizable, individualized armies whereas Warhammer was a game completely lacking balance. This game has me all fired up for the hobby again.

    Best brushes i have ever used, The Pure Kolinsky Sable is in my opinion better than W&N and cheaper. Its all personal preference but i would suggest getting a brush or two and trying out these.

    Yeah, I use Rosemary brushes too! They're awesome. I don't go with sable because I worry about how the animals get harvested, but their golden synthetics work wonderfully and have an excellent point.

  3. I think it's a solid system and just needs a little time to catch on - slow burn like you said. It sucks getting in to it at this point because I feel like I kind of have to fan the flames a bit, which is something I have no interest in doing. But I want it to grow so I have people to play with! And again, it is a really good game. The second edition just came out so it will take some time. I am going to keep playing it so there will always be at least one player, but I think a few more people will realize it's a really good game.

     

    I think the danger for old warhammer folks is comparing it to warhammer. Some of the things we got used to, random charges for example, or removing models from units, are gone. I think I prefer KoW in a lot of ways, but most importantly in the way of balance. Nothing is perfect but at least the Mantic guys put effort in to it. GW never seemed to care about giving us a balanced game.

  4. I used to read "Hoodling's Hole" a lot during the 8th edition days. He's a hobbyist/tournament guy in Australia. I hadnt been on his site since the great sundering, but looks like hes migrating over to KoW. Here is an interesting article about his first impressions. He makes a lot of good points and compares it to 8th. Seems really objective, theres no favoring one over the other.
