Iron Skies

Woot! Be great to see you Dom

I have no idea what I'm going to take for Hardcore yet.

Don't think, just take the first thing you grab

There's the vassal module that's in the works from what I know.

Not trying to knock the idea as I would love to see a computer game but coming from that kind of background the development and testing cycle for even a 2d game to make sure it plays like or as close to the tabletop version is not a simple 3-4 month project. You're looking at closer to a year (Assuming a team of at least 10 people doing the development and outsourcing testing) for anything close.

Please bear in mind this is taking into account every aspect of the game. So strats and schemes. Are they shared/indoor etc all rolled into one visual menu so you can keep track of your objectives etc.

Note - not my full thoughts as will take probably close to half an hour for me to write that out

Curse Ye Jo! Really want one ;.;

If Hoffman machine puppets himself he can use soulstones. If he machine puppets something else that does not have use soulstones then they cannot be used

Using Sonnia is a good start, you would need to clump your crew close so Pandora cannot cast spells on them but what you are really looking for are models that do not need to attack directly.

Santiago is a good choice with bulletstorm (Pulse damage) Sonnia flame-blasting off models near Pandora.

A few witchlings with disrupt magic near her will annoy the Pandora player no end.

What models do you have at the moment?

Object : Reduces WOUNDS taken by the indicated number to a minimum of 1

Can't please everyone, just have fun

I have it on good authority that Ant actually smiles these days

Is it Kirai ressers or other ressers? If it's Nico Sam will be really useful (Especially if they take punk zombies, he'll get to shoot them a few times)

Box is definately worth it over just the model. Keeps your options open for the future etc

Sadly no, my local gaming club is the one in Harrogate. Andy should be able to help you with any tips and tricks in person. I'll do my best to help on here.

Good combination there, by any chance do you play at York?

Advice wise it really depends on the strategies that you play, generally Sam is a glass cannon. The Executioner is a usually too slow but a good fire magnet. The handler is pure gold with at least 3 witchlings and who can say no to a cb7 angry bird?

For an 'all comers' I'd take a list like this

Sonnia,

Sam (8)

Witchling Handler (7)

3 X Witchlings (12)

2 X Dogs (6)

Would be 33 stones giving you 7 for Sonnia (6 from cache and leftover and 1 from the dogs)

One thing to take note beware Lucius issuing orders on himself as he'll still have to the cast due to highest authoritah

Random question, does the venue have a limit on how many people can attend?

Of the Book 4 models, the one I thought you most skipped over was the Pathfinder - just for starters, if he gets to deploy both his traps, he's effectively a 2 SS model. Being unable to cap objectives until turn 3 is a bit of a pain, but you can spend your time loading them down with traps instead. If you were considering taking at least 6 SS worth of traps in a list, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't take a Pathfinder instead.

Not actually played any games with the Pathfinder yet, the traps do look fun. IE funnelling models through terrain or into firezones or risk being paralysed.

Going back to the pathfinder I think he himself will be amazing with Lucius around to order him about and give him extra shots otherwise he'll just be a one shot wonder before being ganked

Looks like my post got lost. I am able to attend this and can confirm I will be puttering on down

Shoot first?

That made me facepalm then chuckle followed by another facepalm. But I guess I did ask for that

Long time without a post on this. Though not really had much to write about. Attended York's tournament recently with amazingly disasterous results (Apart from getting best sports somehow) Paintings progressing slowly thanks to waiting for base inserts to come back in stock in the UK.

Been trying not to proxy any more games with any book 4 stuff so been light there.

Random thought, we always hear tactics against other factions though what do people find when playing against other Guild players?

Just worked out that I can come to this one

Especially when I make you give Liam a ride home :-P

Does he have to get back in one piece?

Having played it a few times I find it a very fun scheme (And yes I have managed to complete it as well) Given the limited number of 0 actions avaliable to Feng's crew it's rather easy to place them

And the annoyance shall be epic

Can't come to the full weekend but going to pop down on Sunday and annoy everyone

Usually try and keep the hoffman tips secret but I'll divulge them

Depending on the protect chain your first priority would be the Guardian. Thanks to their armour and ability to heal you'll want to concentrate on them till they die. Don't hold back on the guardians.

If the protect chain is on something big use that to your advantage. Hit that with heavy damage then go for the guardian.
