I can actually make this one!

 

I am looking at testing 9th edition out this night. 

As this will just be a test game so looking at a 1000 point game and depending on how things go might be able to do multiple games. 

 

@ninefinger can I prepay via paypal?

I'll be there, probably gonna throw down with grey knights...need to practice with chaplains and new psyker powers.

I have the core rules printed up and a separate sheet with all the bullet points collected. I don't have terrain or missions printed out yet.

I'll take a marine half as well now that I think about it.

I'll take just the book as well

Reducing model backlog. Fairly sizable Yu Jing force. Lots of flexibility.

I can meet at the club or guardian.

$95 for the whole lot or make an offer for the whole or bits.

4x robots

1x big mech and pilot

7x shashi

2x ninja, 1 has missing arms

5x drop troops

2x engineers + 2 small bot

3x sniper looking dudes in cloaks

1x reporter

3x mercenary looking chaps

10x big dudes in power armor 

1x suntzu

1x hey weapon platform 

1x transforming cat bot, 1x of each form

I'm down for some crusade at some point, maybe August or September as a start depending on rule availability. 

I ended up getting busy, can't make it today

@ninefinger want to play some warcry?

Any early reports how it plays for small games?  I no longer have any interest in army sized battles.I like the idea of around 750 pts.

They have directly supported small games with dedicated missions,  so probably better than previous editions. And by small I mean 500 pts.

I shouldn’t have to ever invoke π when playing with toy soldiers.

Don't rotate the turret

Rotating the turret does still count as moving the tank

Yeah, but if the turret is rotated... it’s the point sticking out (the muzzle) that’s going to move the furthest.

You measure the difference between the start and end point, you ca. Spin the turret around 10x as long as the tip is within 10 inches of where it started before you moved.

Godbound has very good rules for defining, running conflicts and having these conflicts ed evolve all quickly and easily in s way that players can interact with.

This section of the rules is pretty system neutral too.

I would be interested in 9th age but I dont know how many points of dark elves I can field yet I'm still in the process of building it all

I meant 9th edition 40k, sorry I don't have anywhere close to enough fantasy miniatures 

I should be there. Got 40k and the 9th edition rules all printed out.

I noticed 2 things.  1. Engagement range is now .5 inch instead of 1 inch, this will dramatically reduce the number of models that can fight.

2. There is no mention of an increased engagement range for vehicles and monstrous creatures. Especially vertically, so I don't see a fix here for carnifexes unable to attack dudes hiding on high levels of ruins or within dense ones.

It does stop these big dudes from being in patrol level games....unless they go solo..which will be awsome

I do so love Marvel Crisis Protocol, but I’ve already committed to a WH40k game. 

I can do some warcry and catch my game at 6 if you like

There's just no upside to large squads.

Stratagems effect units. 1 large squad benefits a lot more from a stratagem than many small ones.

I can stay till 830 fir a short game.

Ish, you will be facing the might of the imperial guard backed up by the inquisition!!!

I.e.

You will have lots of weak dudes for your immortal gods of battle to cut through

But it is! Gee Dubs sez so! And their word is law, don'tcha know!

I mean, their word kinda is law....they literally write the rulebook 😗

I plan to show up. I'll be down for some 40k and or warcry

I think they are just trying to get rid of giant single line snakes of men, now you double 2 column snakes, halving or .66 length lines. Giant blobs should be uneffected.

Finished up a few things I started.
