A gaming company might not even open its front door for a couple more hours. When given the chance many gamer folk like us tend to open the doors later and stay open later thanks to being night owls.

It's 5:10pm in Kalgoorlie in Australia

Though, I do think that the poses for a fair few of the TOS models were fairly, I don't want to say uninspired, someone worked hard on them, but they didn't exactly grab me. Even now, some of the poses like Prince Unathi don't do much for me. They're not terrible or anything, but they weren't something that inspired me to grab TOS.

Yeah, there’s a lot of “five sculpts, nine models” unless you’re playing Cult, then it’s all “nine sculpts, nine models”! Unfair I tells ya!

There is actually a fair bit of variance on having a closer look at the Gibbering Hordes. Frenzy is definitely a Shark. The Karkanoi have an insectile crustaceans appearance, the skulkers have a chameleon-like appearance. The Gibbering Horde mix deep sea, amphibian and reptilian, so there probably will eventually be krakens and jellies, just not yet. There’s also the probable desire to have the armies look at least semi-coherent. At the moment the Gibbering Hordes are the most alien/bestial army, but later as more factions are added they probably want to keep them looking similar enough so that new players and folks watching games can tell unpainted Gibbering hordes from neverborn etc.

I use a really old mangled brush as a scoop for scenic paints myself. Really looking forward to getting my allegiance box so I can start painting myself.

Yeah, between Jacinta and Samantha, it looks like the guild is being changed up for TOS. I guess with the Cult, the guy who was the previous big bad of the guild has been removed and repurposed. I'm actually happy with it, I'm eager to see how the Guild plays out story/faction wise. (Though Samantha kind of sounds like she might be going dual faction in the future to me ).

Just reading through the fiction at the moment. Have to say, Guild, the secret good guys of the setting!?

Yeah, I did think of Kassa while writing that, and obviously expansions to the existing range will help that a lot.

Oh I know, really looking forward to Three Kingdoms and Kimon. When I said new units, I meant new unit types sorry. At the moment we have Fireteams, Combined Arms Fireteams, Titans, Commanders and Champion. My bad examples aside, I'd personally like to see some additions just to give more diversity to the rules and list building. It would also open up commanders to supporting more specialized builds, say a tank commander who gives tanks a bonus token or a Arm buff.

Hm, I'd personally hope that over time the additional books will add supplementary rules. For example, I could see fliers being added in by adding an additional height to the LOS rules. Something along the lines of the current Titan LOS rules but with an addition of something like "LOS can't be blocked, however fireteams may gain cover against fliers" or something similar. Then there would be hieghts "Low/High/Flier". Without things like this being added over time I'd be very sad to see TOS die out over the next year or two. Rules injections, new units, campaigns etc are the lifeblood of tabletop wargames.

Sorry, I meant heavier vehicles such as armored personnel carriers, tanks, planes, support zeppelins etc.

Hi folks, I just wanted to ask a couple questions. I'm not sure if these have answers already thanks to things like gencon interviews, but if they do, I'd love to hear the answers. Firstly, I wondered if Wyrdscapes has plans to make terrain for TOS. I'd personally love to see things like some Abyssinian homes/shops, King's Empire trench works, Burning Man churches etc. Secondly, I was wondering if there are any plans to have non-Titan vehicles added in the future, I'd love to see some steam punk-esque early tanks, crab carriers, maybe even early planes etc.

Welcome folks to my first, and hopefully not last, lackluster battle report. Today's match was Nellie Cochran versus Nicodemus with no real mission since we were both exceptionally new to the game. At my opponents request, we decided to stick to no real mission beyond first to kill the other's master. I know this doesn't give a very accurate impression of the game, but it was still enough fun to make us both happy Lists I had Nellie, Alison, Phonia, an Executioner, Printing Press and 3x Field Reporters He had Nicodemus, Mortimer, the Vulture 2x Carrion Doggos, 3 Zombie Punks Sadly I didn't get a picture a turn, only remembering to take a couple photos second and third turn. I killed Nicodemus start of the third turn. Turn 1 I spent the majority of the first turn discarding cards to make my opponent activate nearly all his models before I did. I lucked out because when he tried puking up corpse markers all over the place he only managed to get two out (Bad flips). I also surprised him when I sent my Executioner flying up the board using a push from a scheme marker, after making him fast and then charging using his unique equipment (discard to make a CG for 1AP). Thanks to this, I managed to cut down two of the punk zombies only taking five damage in return from a final zombie punk counter charging. Turn 2 Nicodemus went first and suddenly the table was covered in cruddy zombies. Apparently cutting stuff apart with the executioner is a bad thing. This turn I didn't delay my turn and when quite active with the team using the executioner to slaughter the last punk zombie and one of the regular zombies. He moved about respoitioning but wasn't expect the Phonia "Look Out" and using it, I managed to get her up the board and the Executioner even further up catching both Nicodemus and Morti in the melee range of the bugger. He also managed to run a pupper up the board and catch Nellie in melee with it. Turn 3 So this turn was the last and was over pretty quick. So he went first, tried to walk away with Nicodemus, got face punched so instead he made more zombies. Phonia popped her "Look Out" and dashed up to face off Nicodemus while sending the executioner around him to beat him up. She did a bunch of damage but Nicodemus has 14hp, who the heck has 14hp!? The vulture went and moved up carrying a zombie which was apparently intended to be a bomb later. I moved up a reporter and stuck a scheme marker next to her. A zombie attacked Phonia and didn't do anything. Nellie popped the scheme marker, pushed up and raised some rabble against Nicodemus which Phonia was offended by. With this, she hit him again and one of his own boosted zombies beat him up too. Another zombie attacked the executioner but it didn't care and he finally finished Nicodemus off.
