Licorice and Skunk Spray? Which one is the good one?

Ghostbusters? Not wargamey enough?

Pacific Rim is a terrible movie in terms of plot and certain key understandings of what Digital and Analogue mean.

What does bring to the fore is Giant Robots Beating Kaiju Up With Ships. It's like Evengelion with out Shinji, the worst protagonist ever.

It's brain candy.

Let's just say that you're at a convention over a long holiday weekend (which may or may not be the Nova Open), and this convention just happened to have a charity lounge with some nice adult beverages.

What are the movies you want playing there, while you're laughing/having a good time with your last round's opponent/new friend?

Initial thoughts:

Aliens
Star Wars Trilogy
Predator
Die Hard
Big Trouble in Little China
Enemy at the Gates
Pacific Rim
Saving Private Ryan
Avengers
Gangs of New York
Battle Los Angeles
Independence Day
Black Hawk Down
Iron Man
Conan the Barbarian
Mad Max 2: the Road Warrior
Hitchhiker's Guide

What are we missing? What should be vetoed?

Just like my suggestion with Levi, Canine Remains are good models to have when taking on masters. Everything you have triggers off of Defense, and with their ability to lower defense... Plus their presence allows Rancid Transplant to start getting to ridiculous levels.

Good hunting, and watch out for Hard to Kill. Keep an eye on outcast masters.

It's Dolly Makin' Time!

If you're willing to get Levi in close combat, you might consider path of Bone, and a crap ton of Canine remains to lower defense/stop master pushes. For the lulz. "I'm perdita, Defense 9!" Five dogs later...

A gentle reminder that this event is in less than a week!

Ron's tables!





He put a lot of time into the terrain, and it's always a challenge to play on them.

Sadly, some of the best answers for Sisters are in Outcasts. Ronin can't be charged, and Librarians strip the native from them. Daw can stall them, and put them out of position...

The secret key to success at any tournament is the mighty Crooligan.

The episode is out!

Listen in as Dan and I go over the Nova's events, and we dive into what Schemes and crews we'd take for the North American Championship Scenarios!

We have consulted the Strands of Fate, and made the appropriate sacrifices to the Tyrants.

(We also looked at a calendar.)

The Rescheduling has occured.

3/7/15

 

McMourning is a Guild model, too, you know.

LIES! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

That makes Dangerous Terrain a lot less frightening for Ressers, then. Nice.

Critter,

I have to echo what others are saying, and applaud your work on this app. I use it for crew construction almost exclusively now.

Any possibility of campaign support? Or are you waiting until an official release of those rules?

Does a flip for hazardous terrain suffer a if the model in the terrain has Hard to Wound + 1?

My inclination is to say "yes, it does" as Hazardous Terrain deals damage off of a flip, but that would seem to increase the power of HtW a bit.

Another demo night tonight!

 

I think Colette fail in the bust and maybe put some cards in hand instead that "magic fire" : D

The Coryphee is amazing but I do not like the skirt.

 

anyway good job!

 

To your first point: How does she fail in the bust?

And a point of order, it's a Mannequin, not a Coryphee.

Nice Colette, Nice Corephyee.

 

Do I really need a 5th Colette Figure?

 

Really?

You know you're going to buy it.

Point shoes! Hah!

And the Mannequin's pose reminded me of this:

This event is being postponed due to winter weather.

Details to follow later.
 

I have a lot of Imperial Guard (that I really don't play anymore), and the Valhallan 42nd were my regiment.

Take a large area of cardstock, paint/print it from the outer edge as red/orange/yellow/white. Take more cardstock, paint it like lava. Glue the lava chunks on the lava pool. Welcome to your hazardous terrain.
