Yep I used to think the 40k scene was full of happy bunnies. But its not when you talk to them. Its got its own Daemons and Darl Elves, and working the probabilities out in that game on Monday its a miracle anything ever happens in a game of 40k!!!<br /><br />GW can't ruin both of their core games now... can they?Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-91859836330231614262011-10-05T09:42:03.832+01:002011-10-05T09:42:03.832+01:00Woohoo 6 to hit with warmachines, you can't de...Woohoo 6 to hit with warmachines, you can't delete my skeletons FG :-)<br /><br />And i agree the 40K game we watched looked such a sruggle for both players to finish. Our game of infinity was done and dusted quicker with more action. Can't believe the feelings I had with end of WFB7th edition and fail that was 8th edition is also what 40k gamers are feeling now!!unique geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836171429533991227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-37989472575776047482011-10-04T21:01:21.320+01:002011-10-04T21:01:21.320+01:00Well that's something I picked out as being po...Well that's something I picked out as being potentially sucky too myself. I have a WFB Dwarf army so perhaps I can find someone willing to play through it with me so I can check out the warmachine rules with my short fat beardy chaps.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-90863217201886232012011-10-04T20:54:57.581+01:002011-10-04T20:54:57.581+01:00After reading the rules again last night, all of t...After reading the rules again last night, all of them (and yes they are that short)...I think shooting is what really needs work, especially in the war machines department. Need a 6+ to hit in a D6 mechanic seems a bit harsh for the point cost of some of those units - even with a reroll. I know they tread a narrow line with rules 'borrowing' but I think a scatter die would actually go a long way!Lord Azaghulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027594431581603508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-86617637733851495632011-10-04T15:30:49.099+01:002011-10-04T15:30:49.099+01:00@SiSynn... yes.

One good thing for GW though is that expectation levels are at an all time low. I watched a game of 40k played last night and truly its a dire system right now and is in need of a shake up.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-1938918973612304432011-10-04T15:09:54.519+01:002011-10-04T15:09:54.519+01:00Every time I read about a Fantasy player that gave...Every time I read about a Fantasy player that gave up due to 8th Edition I think, 'They're working on 40k 6th right now...'<br />-_-SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-498411730609316672011-10-04T00:10:00.671+01:002011-10-04T00:10:00.671+01:00@Lord Azaghul, again with the pramatism. Stop it o...@Lord Azaghul, again with the pramatism. Stop it or people will think you're a reasonable sort. The internet doesn't like reasonable people it chews them up and spits them out!!! lol. As to the WIP feel, yep thats still the over riding feel I have. They're not quite there yet are they? The armies feel like they need more variance and maybe a bit of balancing having read some of the lists... the things which Jake came across at the tournament lept off of the page for me too.<br /><br />@Angus I have to say I quite like my plastic Orcs. Sure they're never going to win 'sculpt' of the year awards, but they're really not meant too now are they? As for the armies. You could always use whatever WFB armies you have as the 2nd ed rulebook has rules for more than just the 5 races they've released so far.<br /><br />@eriochrome, I see Jake has already answered your question for you. I think the rules might actually already be up on the site to download as a PDF. I'll check for you... nope they're still the 2010 rules.<br /><br />@Quirkworthy, I just think if a company is actually asking us what we think... and then listening to it and doing something about it that we as gamers should almost certainly repay them by telling them what we think. Whether thats Mantic, Studio McVey with Sedition Wars (which is actually fun by the way) or anyone foe that matter, I always try to feedback to people even if its just positive supportive stuff.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-10116577493958197912011-10-03T22:00:21.854+01:002011-10-03T22:00:21.854+01:00Gosh!

Didn't realise it was that much. <br /><br />Hard to add much as we keep agreeing, other than to agree with something else: more games is better for the hobby, so people should give KOW a try and send Mantic their comments. People complain that GW doesn't listen to the fans. Now Mantic's doing just that it would make sense to take them up on it :)<br /><br />@eriochrome I think they are going to post up a B&W version (same as the printed one but no pretty pictures).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-82804239616125433952011-10-03T21:53:10.450+01:002011-10-03T21:53:10.450+01:00Are they going to post these up online like the ol...Are they going to post these up online like the older rules. I noticed the cost was pretty reasonable but since I just interested in reading them and not playing (only fantasy stuff I have is an Skull Pass set plus some extra dwarves that I am trying to trade for Blood Bowl and Epic stuff) I would like to save my 10 dollars plus shipping.eriochromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377904099582258296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-89561514158921119722011-10-03T21:35:45.677+01:002011-10-03T21:35:45.677+01:00I have not played Kings of War, but I am occasiona...I have not played Kings of War, but I am occasionally tempted by their minis.
