Tao Tsê-Mung

Get better soon @BigMick37 - that's an order !!! Anyone else able to make it around 4pm? I'd love to start early and get two games in one night.

@Brother Glacius See my previous answer. You’re making this harder on yourself looking for problems. You’re going to make mistakes in learning this game. Remember the goal is not to be 100% correct - the goal, especially for whomever opponent showed up to play you, is to have fun.

So relics and warlord traits are two different things, generally you're limited to one of each per character model. There are a few exceptions that give warlord traits to squad leaders or dreadnoughts, or named characters which receive multiple warlord traits, but those are very specific and worded to be exceptions. There's no method to allow a single model to take two relics. There aren't any relics that provide warlord traits or vice versa. In crusade you use requisition points, instead of cp or stratagems, to provide warlord traits and/or relics but they still must adhere to all the rules given in the core book or your codex. ie the summary above. Especially in a casual game setting like our escalation crusade, don't read too deep into the legalese or try to infer a bunch of "What If . . . " interpretations. Those hours are better wasted by the internet spawn. 😉

I'll be there early for the crusade as well. Happy to start showing someone how to play Tempest of War right away so there's time for two games. Crusade "homework" doesn't really matter your first two missions so we can do that afterward.

I have arranged for a chauffeur and therein may be convinced to provide access for the plebeians this evening. I'll be evaluating new protocols vs the target dummies formerly known as @Salty Monkey's Marines.

Every 40k Ed Complaint Summed: "I don't actually play this edition but I wish it was like that time I didn't have to think and my deathball won every game for me no matter how little I paid attention. Except for that one rule that made for a reasonable counter. That was waaay too simple, it should have been much more complicated to beat my fanboy list. But now people have to actually develop a strategy and interact with something other than their domestic beer/weed pipe. Change is hard! It should be waaay more simple, like just buying/printing grey plastic, forgetting half the rules, and still win. Challenges suck! That's what every one of my opponents must be looking to do with four hours of their free time right?" The game has always been a complicated fantasy historical tactics game of chance, Settlers of Catan exists for a reason too . . .

Here is a great explainer and review of Tempest of War mission gameplay below. It's 100% compatible with crusade as well. Also, it's a $30 self-contained version of the game which doesn't require any updated/additional book purchases later . . . YES, SERIOUSLY . . . !!!

FYI the awesome wahapedia guy has again created for free what gw should have been doing all long given that it’s 2022! Check this out, a tempest mission generator! https://wahapedia.ru/wh40k9ed/the-rules/tempest-of-war/#Mission-Generator You can even draw your cards and recycle them etc from any web browser ie phone!

Sounds like you Orks have a grudge to settle! Looks like work will keep me late, catch you guys next week.

Heresy !!!

That sounds great! A few months ago @Ish and @Damunky were gung ho about a campaign and Ish even 3d printed a hex map of terrain tiles but they both seem to have disappeared. I’m still super excited about Oathmark and have multiple different army ideas I want to build and try out.

I'm not on discord but I'm available most Sat/Sun, Thurs as well.

ANY OATHMARK PLAYERS SURVIVE THIS PLAGUE OF MADNESS !?! Seriously, I'd like to get some games in, anyone still interested in a campaign ?!?

Anyone have any experience with Maelstrom's Edge? Looks similar to 40k/Mantic/Grimdark Future. Its starter set is half the price of GW's and the rules are currently downloadable as they refine v2.0. https://www.maelstromsedge.com/117/FREE - Maelstrom's Edge Digital Rulebook (PDF)/ I'd be interested to hear what folks thought or try a game out with proxy models.

@Kampfer @ImperialTrooper Filthy Meta-Chasers !!!

Well I was going to offer to play maelstrom instead but now that a challenge has been issued . . . . . . I Accept!

Well, when you give me carte blanche like that . . . 😉 See you then!

Sadly I got roped into something again this afternoon and won’t be able to make it. Fingers crossed it’s the last time!

I'll be there and looking for 40k Casual Schemes/Maelstrom Of War or Competitive Matched Play; or Oathmark up to 1500pts; or Reign In Hell! Also interested in Silver Bayonet or Stargrave if some wants to run an intro game! Let me know what to bring!
