Dustcrusher Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Congratulations on the promotion Guild Ball? Is that that fantasy sports game that plays on either an octagon or a hexagon? It looks decent, but I've got Dreadball and the Blood Bowl Team Manager game to fill that niche. By the way, if you speak French, there are rules for Alkemy Blitz available. From what I can figure out, it's played on a 2 foot square table with ~180 points of minis per side, I think. Looks like a fun, fast variant.

edonil Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 O.o Your forum id changed, Dust, lol. How'd that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 There's a thing to change it in your settings now, though I think it's a limited number of times in a month. Congrats Panda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Cheers guys :-) Guild Ball is played on a tabletop, and uses damage trees like Arena Rex. Will be up on ks shortly. Will probably give it a pass because I'm saving up ATM, but I do fancy the Fishermen's Guild. Will need to check that out, with Google Translate at the ready ;-) Starting to lose track of how many games I'm involved with now :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 ...huh. Okay then, lol. And congrats, Panda! Did you end up grabbing PHR in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yeah, went with PHR. Was tempted to grab the large army deal, but conveniently out of three local players, two have UCM starters and one has PHR, so my starter will even the odds :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I like being able to change the name. I've belonged to boards that had name-changing memes that were often pretty funny- once four guys changed their names in such a way that if you put them in the right order, it was a couplet from a classic mid-90s gangsta rap song How many games...let's recap again: Malifaux Kings of War Dreadball Alkemy Song of Blades and Heroes (technically just a rulebook, but I actually play it- the book's not a shelf-warmer) Mighty Armies/Hordes of the Things (aka "stuff I can play with 15mm fantasy figures) Wild West Exodus (models are mostly assembled, have not played yet) Arena Rex (hasn't arrived but it's going to be great- if nothing else, the minis are gorgeous) Wrath of Kings (it'll be a while before I get this stuff) Bushido* (have it, figures assembled, haven't played it yet. Wish I had a workshop so I could build a 2x2 table for it) Then there are the rulebooks of games I hope to try (like Endless- Fantasy Tactics) and games I'll probably never get to play (Confrontation 3rd Edition). Been wanting to try Anima Tactics and Dropzone Commander, even if it's just to say "yep, tried them, <opinion here>." I'd probably go Shaltari or PHR for Dropzone- not sure I like the laying-down piloting thing of the UMC vehicles and the Scourge...I can only paint so many revolting things before I just want to quit.

ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 For me it's - Malifaux, arena Rex, puppet was, batman miniature game, dzc, alkemy, sedition wars, kingdom death, darklands, Relics and Warzone. Looking to also pick up Wild West Exodus and Infamy, when it hits ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 You play Relics Panda? How do you find that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 No so much play, as have a Britanan army and no one to play against :-\ But I've read the rules, not a bad game. And that reminds me of another game I wanna pick up - Arcworlde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yeah I got painted Brittanian and Vattier armies and the other two unpainted, but only ever played a couple of hundred point starter box type games..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I forgot about Warzone! Also, it sucks that you guys playing the games I want to play are on the other side of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Have to say, Company Sergeant Major 1 is one of my favourite miniatures. But Relics is a bit like Eden, nice models, but the game and player base needs more development. I only have the Capitol Starter, and my local players have yet to receive their stuff. I'm on the fence with most of the range, same reason I haven't started Warmahordes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'll stick with Malifaux, Dropzone Commander, and Arcworlde (got in on the kickstarter for that). Not that I play, more paint half of what I own and buy even more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Scourge forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Scourge forever! The doors there, take your Reaper and go :-P PHR also happen to stand for Panda Human Racers. My bets are on Ming Ming and his human, Danny Dyer. My number one obstacle ATM is trying to figure out a color scheme for my PHR (not that PHR). I'm either going to do my table as overgrown post-apoc cityscape or ice world. Also, despite the aesthetic of phr being really elegant, I keep wanting to make them all grimy, like they belong in BSG.

Mister Monkey Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Dont thing DZC is going to happen around here..... it was seen as too expensive to start with and now it is cheaper people are getting into other games. The release of the new Dust Tactics starters (along with the fact that a lot of my mates are playtesters) might mean that might see some loving.

ThePandaDirector Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ah, Dust Tactics is one of those games that's always been out of focus for me. I've seen it pop up before, just never pinned it down and actually looked into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 It always looked interesting, but I never focused on it either...... I am hoping with Battlefront taking over the production it may become less confusing to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
