Creator Jibboom about 2 hours ago

Haha well if I get one you are welcome to the spare Candy model and I'll keep the mech :p
No I didn't pledge for RK. Well actually I did but then decided there weren't enough models that I wanted and I wasn't sure enough to pledge based on artwork so I would be better off waiting and picking up some at retail. Soon after that was the Project Eternity videogame kickstarter and then a couple of months later Kingdom Death so I was pleased not to have spent the money.

Creator Pride365 about 2 hours ago

I just like Candy......not sure why lol. I like the sound of you idea though Would be really cool to see. You didn't get in on RK did you?

Creator Jibboom about 2 hours ago

I quite like that one apart from the motorcycle-like seat (though I can see why it is like that as it fits in with RK well). Maybe I could cut off the handlebars and stick on another armour plate from something else though.

Creator Pride365 about 2 hours ago

I will remind you of that as many times as you need. I haven't read the Dakkadakka stuff I just saw that at my "local" gameshop FB page. As for the Void Reaper I can show you pics as soon as I get mine! I really like Candy Rush though!

Creator Jibboom about 2 hours ago

You might need to remind me of that a few more times ;) I'm reading through the dakkadakka Eldar thread right now, I ended up making an account just so that I could put some people on ignore, 7 so far. It's actually quite a useful place without all the snarky 'angry on the internets' people. I like my mechs to be quite sleek, I can see myself buying a Void Reaper from RK when it goes to retail.

Creator Pride365 about 4 hours ago

Yeah I don't think they work that way either.......I am gonna go look at RK again and see all the big pretty models I am going to get from them.........remember GW is the devil

Creator Jibboom about 4 hours ago

I do want to give my money to the people designing that model, though. Just not the business people who make the decisions. I'm sure if I left an order note they would make sure my money went only to the right people, businesses work that way right? Okay maybe not :(

Creator Pride365 about 4 hours ago

I think it prolly does they must be getting some money from the retailer and that me paying is giving them my money in a round about way.

Creator Jibboom about 5 hours ago

I was thinking the same thing, Pride. Does it still count if I buy it at 25% discount from another retailer...?

Creator Pride365 about 5 hours ago

I must remember GW is the devil.................

@kurtis I will get my copy of SDE when I go home so the end of June I bought it and it should be waiting at my house now but I won't see it until then.

Creator kurtis about 13 hours ago

so has anyone else seen otho from arena rex... wowzers, that's a nice mini. Also just a reminder that the dragon huntress should be avail for sale soonish as they said the end of may!

still waiting no an actual release date for puppet wars; it's killing me, I know they changed to the 31st of may but still has the ~ sign so about the 31st, (please be sooner, please be sooner!)

I started painted my dark angel by reaper, the purple i mixed up is really reading blue.... looks purple in the pot, but dries definite blue; so green should pull out the red and help it to look purple? is that correct? i'm pretty sure I'm remembering properly, but I have been wrong once or twice before...

@pride, congrats on getting a full set of rk! how can you not be happy with that right? also let us know when you get your copy of sde,

Creator John D about 14 hours ago

I actually laughed out loud three times during all that.

Robots for Warhammer/40k are fun to mess with.

tell them you are running some plague marines with your warriors of chaos army for warhammer fantasy battles and that your bolters are going to mow down their pitiful and primitive forces like a beast. When they tell you that's not legal tell them they know nothing about warhammer if they believe it o=is illegal especially because you didn't explain what edition you are playing withjf or that. Alternatively, get a whole bunch of 1980's pre-slotta miniatures and take them into the store and ask them to identify what company they are from as you need to know if they are GW legal. There's all sorts of stuff you can pull drawing on the first edition or two of fantasy and 40k that is unheard of these days. I was laughed at and told my chapter was full of fail for my space marines when i said I was playing Rainbow Warriors with a detachment of Imperial Field Police (also a space marine chapter). I face palmed hard and told them to fuck off with their lack of knowledge about the game they are promoting when they get it all wrong all the time. It's fun in GW stores when yoyu get idiot nooby robot salespeople who have played ofr a few years or less and scored work who have no idea and tell you you can't use the models in store because they aren't GW and so banned from the store. When you demand they bring up back catalogues to prove the point, GW doesn't have said catalogues available even on their website and they've blocked all non-gw official websites (not including their face book page) so there's no way for them to get them. When they say as much, demand a call to head office for their gross misconduct towards veteran gamers and make a scene. A BIG Scene. If they are too narrow minded to read further into the games' history then all power to you belittling them for a change. Also, it's intensely satisfying having head office tell them to stfu and to learn their games history better! :p I mean, no, I haven't done that before. No, honest! *Shifts eyes shiftily*

Creator John D about 18 hours ago

Luke - thanks, that sounds about right, although the template for WMach goes to 10", but whatever - it's cool enuff to guesstemate 2 inches.
But those Hobby store guys don't know about anything that isn't WHmmer (I already asked them, just to taunt them really). When I ask them about anything else, here's the answer: "Well, have you considered playing Warhammer? Maybe you should." Swear to god. robots.

Creator Luke Roberts about 19 hours ago

@dan,

Are you the guy on that find nearby gamers website that pledged in Gosford? I'm out south west in Liverpool area, have a mate up Hornsby way who also pledged just shy of the $1k mark (under customs) though he went the buy all the pinups in resin route as opposed to my get as many models as possible route. I was going to be the store champion at GG's Town hall for Mordheim, but study and zoo and other stuff have gotten in the way of that spare time so I pulled out of that. I do know Drew at GG's burwood though quite well, have known him since he managed the Tin Soldier on York Street, almost a decade now I've known him, and we'll have a KD:M gaming group at GG's Burwood or at Town hall depending on where we decide to meet. My brother and a good mate who has played warhammer fantasy since 1st edition (he's like 40 but doesn't act a day over 21 ;p) and probably his best mate who also games will be the basis of another party of players and with 3 survivor level boxes inbound i still want to do a lets add D3 of every individual (so settlement if it's a D10 on people for example it's 10 D3 people, encounters are D3 monsters for each of the singular et al, obviously have to balance a bit and can get interesting lion packs with an alpha (level 3) a beta (level 2) and several level 1's for example. It should be rather rad as a whole. At the very least there's me available for games, I'm on public transport so it's 2 hours to anywhere basically or 3, am used to 3 hours each way with the zoo study and university up at macquarie but obviously I want to minimise the travel a bit too, heh.

@JohnD,

I do play 40k mainly, played Mordheim to death and still consider it the best GW game ever (though never got to finding a copy of warhammer quest to play) and hence obvious need for KD:M. I played warmachine when it first came out and dabbled through the years but have lost interest in playing for whatever reason and am sitting on 150pts of cygnar and 150pts of cryx, mainly heavy jacks for cryx, lol. I don't know the template sizes though. Ask the games' store, they may know. 40k templates are 5" diameter for the large blast marker and 3" diameter for the small blast marker. the Template is 8" long, not sure the width at the longest point though.

@John Bobita,

Yeah, building boards up for Mordheim was always as fun as playing, we started with boxes, place them down for levels to also make alleyways and winding walled off streets, add more boxes bridging these gaps and then build up to whatever height. 4 or 5 levels of boxes tapering to stepped points at higher points of the board worked, each being 3" or so high so even dwarfs could climb them, then plonk down the buildings, then ladders and bridges then a healthy smattering of rubble and cover. You might have had 2-3 foot tall boards but the games were unbelievably awesome because you suddenly had options for climbing and jumping became a skill to see if you could make that jump of maybe 2" 14" above the table surface or if your leap skill (D6" jump, can be chained with the 2" max normal jump for some epicness) could get you from one building to the next 2 foot above the ground below (we basically house ruled falling damage to for every inch above 10" you took 1 extra strength 10 hit, so falling would be D3+every extra 1" above 10" hits at the fall height or str 10 once you exceed 10", it worked a charm and having a zombie dive charge an orc from 24" up and passing 12 initiative tests by rolling straight 1's to then knock that orc out of action was the most awesome thing ever!), although such board set ups also worked well with the simple house rule "you can always run", instead of not being able to if an enemy is within 8", it never made sense to us and we always try and take a realistic look at situations - if you are 2 streets away and ar ehearing a monster that is 5 stories high destroying everything in sight, you ain't going to stroll around until you are outside of a certain range then leg it, you're gonna leg it hard, same reasoning with all the warbands. dwarfs played well countered the weakness there or you just went into a stubborn off on hiding and not moving (though can move and hide and that's where the proper mordheim players come into the picture because those players outmanourve everyone and can't be seen if done well and it's how I repeatedly at GW Sydney when they played, and they played such that you'd get in for the first day get 3 games in come ina week later and face a dozen maxed out warbands so you with your 3 games under your belt leg it at voluntary route point 2-3 games getting quick under dog xp and loot and then turn around and table every opponent because you know how to play and that means patience and manouvring like a boss whilst hidden haha! :p Woosh! Point being, the deadzone terrain is awesome. I am in at Strike Team (early Bird 7 or so so saving $4) and adding a $95 terrain add-on pledge onto it. I am liking the models a lot and whilst my experience in necromunda was limited due to players available (my mate introduced me with my starting orlocks to his advanced 3,000 rated Redmptionists, I recall him pulling pins on his own gas grenades to kill me in combat and standing there almost immune to the effects whilst a single sniper downed 2 of my guys a turn, it wasn't pretty and sucked. captured a heavy that game and next was rescue him before he was burnt alive I obviously didn't play again after that...). My ideal startingw arband would be Goliath. And everyone has laughed at me or stepped back in terror as I'd do goliath properly. They are all about brute strength, no need for many gangers, I'll have 1, witha knife. yeah, he'll cut you man! A Leader with a meltagun. 'I FEEL LIKE MELTING YOU LIKE CHEESE ON TOAST MWA HAHA!' And 2 Heavies with Autocannons. That's right, screw those pansy heavy stubbers or heavy bolters, autocannons. 2 of them. To start. 1,000 credits well spent and very characterful! :p

@Luke Roberts aye that I am. Without being too specific, I'm a little north of Sydney. I believe you are somehow involved with Good Games? I have one locally but I'm too busy to be a regular there, so I don't know if anyone there got in on KD

i was thinking little resin bases with head stones and the names of my survivors.. have a little resin graveyard after awhile.

Creator Pride365 1 day ago

Yeah I am going to be so sad all the time playing this game when my favorite Survivor dies.....and since they are all going to die often looks like the emotional scars will be huge! Lol I think I might have to start believing in reincarnation!

Creator John D 1 day ago

Timmo, now that you mention it, it might be a good idea to get all the painting finished before the emotional scarring kicks in.

Creator Timmo Warner 1 day ago

Personally, I would rather never find out how the survivors get to where they are or why they have ink on their eyes.

Creator Pride365 1 day ago

Lylyth is a really good price on there and I thought about getting her, I will have to keep minimarket in mind I am really hoping Discount gets more stock in the next couple weeks they are some awesome prices.

Creator John D 1 day ago

I saw that, and whatsername in the sled is a great price at DisGames, as well. They're kinda pricey at warstore tho - for anything you can't find in stock, I'd check Minimarket first.

Creator Pride365 1 day ago

Yeah I am going to get everything I can from there and the rest from the warstore. If I get an Arch Angel there it is only 95 on the Discount Games site!

Pride, have you looked at the Mini Market site? Those are the best prices for WM/H I've found (and free shipping over 100 bucks).

...but Adam has made it clear the setting is not Hell.

Creator Pride365 1 day ago

@TheKillShirt Adam has always said that he didn't want to release a bunch of details now. As for how much we will discover when we get the game well we are going to have to wait and see. Part of the fun is going to be in discovering more about Kingdom Death.

Creator TheKillShirt 1 day ago

Has the creator ever actually released any specific details about the story and world of Kingdom Death? I.E., is it supposed to be Hell, Purgatory, something else? Is it possible he will never release a definitive narrative and it will always be up to our interpretation?

Creator Pride365 1 day ago

@John D I can't wait to buy more Legion stuff!

Creator John D 1 day ago

Luke, you play WHmmr and WMach, right? I'm building a couple factions for WMach, and I just saw this awesome measurement template set at the hobby store - but it's for WHmmr. Do you know if they use the same sizes? - because it was way cooler than the plastic one's I've seen for WM/Hordes. And by 'way cooler' I mean that I haven't even finished my coffee yet, and I'm attempting to communicate...

Creator John Bobita 1 day ago

@ Luke - Being a major Necromunda fan I've been following Deadzone from the start, I nabbed one of the $140 EB slots. It'll probably be my last KS for awhile, but I'll be going out with a bang! My first KS was Dreadball (of which wave 2 came in the mail today) which was a hell of a deal, and I think that DZ is going to be one hell of a deal before it's all said and done. The miniatures are looking good (what they've shown, and they did very good in translating the DB designs into figures so I'm pretty optimistic here) and the scenery has a lot of potential if you're into that sort of thing. (I think I had as much fun setting up the Necromunda board as playing honestly. And I do believe we will get more scenery added than even this last stretch, they are just doling it out bit by bit.

@Luke Roberts That is why I changed from doubles of lots of stuff to one of everything!

Are you in Australia too? Almost 1:30am, I shoulda been asleep ages ago, tonnes to do today!

Anyone following the deadzone KS, it's looking quite good with the 500k mark reached,a whole raft of free stuff inbound and also for the next few and relatively attainable stretch goals. Very shiny indeedy.

@Pride,

I saw the relic knights update with sculpted models in place of what was made over the drawings and it made me very excited indeedy! :D
