Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 There is two versions...... Tactics, which is played on a gridded map with a few units and Warfare, which is a big battle version played on a regular type table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Oh, I thought you guys were only doing Warfare. That's all I ever tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Right now trying to figure out how to allocate my hobby budget for the next couple months. Talking to a friend about doing some intensely scenario driven gaming for different things, including 40k, and figuring out which ones I'd want to invest in. If it's 40k, means I need to add to my Raging Heroes KS, if not, looking at what other games there are that I'm interested in. Really just getting sick of tournament play, I think. For everything, lol. Also about to start in on Chapter 2 of the superhero thing. Just debating if I want to try writing Mercy or Crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 What games are on the list? I am trying to write my second list for this Warmachine event..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Malifaux, 40k, the Batman game, Dropzone Commander, Dystopian Wars. AvP and Robotech when those come out, but those will be much later in the year. Warmachine is still kicking around the house, though I keep forgetting about it, lol. What's your first list?

Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 If you forget about Warmachine, that should not be the game My first list is my Tier 4 Siege trencher list..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Haley? Doesn't she have a trencher list now? Also, I think I'm going to be getting one of the Dreamforge titans while they're on sale... debating on a weapon arm to snag with a Mortis to theme with my Iron Empire. Do I grab an artillery cannon, or a laser cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 EHaley does..... Artillery..... nothing wrong with a big badda boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Oh that's right, you don't have eHaley, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 And artillery it is! The fun thing is that the arms are twist lock, so I can buy the other one later and switch it in, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah. And the Mortis just screams Iron Empire for the fluff info they've released so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Ha ha yeah...... so what scenario plans you coming up with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Doing stuff like Cities of Death, Planetstrike for 40k. For Malifaux, using the Story Encounters and such. Not sure about the others, honestly. Haven't played enough Dropzone Commander to do anything specific like scenarios. Dystopian Wars it'd be doing things like capture the base or something like that.

Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 All sounds fun...... really want to start stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 It really requires the right group of people. And a willingness to allow things to be unbalanced per the rules, honestly, rather than just the army books. If we get anything written down for it, I'll let you know.

Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah, there are some I could do that sort of thing with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sweet. I wish I had more I could do it with locally, but there are a few. It's kinda sad, though, the local escalation league is starting up and that's starting to really get screwed up from what it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 There seems to be too much power gaming these days...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Honestly, it's not even power gaming that's screwing up the escalation league. When my friend and I wrote the rules for it, the biggest thing we wanted was to be inclusive. Sure there was a prize, but the point was to get an army from nothing to fully painted in five months. There was a little bit of competitive stuff, true, but mostly it was hobby. And now, in the latest ruleset that my friend and I aren't contributing to, even the hobby sides of it have been pushed to be competitive. Not enough to have a simple conversion in a squad, the whole squad has to be converted to get converting points. Basing is scored. Painting is now judged, not just a 'Yay, you got the painting done!' The timetable for each month's painting is shorter. It's just kinda messed up. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
