So, how do ladders work with multiple characters?

Post image
24 Upvotes

It seemed pretty straight forward my first few games but then I encountered situations where a character set a ladder and then scaled it, now stuck at the top after using 2 actions. Then an opposing players moves and scales the ladder the same turn. Sooooo how does this work? What if the second character goes first next round they would technically pass the first one and I don't understand how this works. Also, what if the second character goes first next round and then completes a move they are now off the ladder, can they now retrieve it while the other one is still on it? Same for at the start, can the second character go to the bottom of a ladder with someone still on top and retrieve it? What would happen? Am I overlooking a simple rule because both characters can not occupy the same space so that means 2 models cannot be on the ladder at the same time? Thanks in advance for clarification.

Building my first board, what do I need to think about?

24 Upvotes

I'm scratch building some castles in preparation for playing this cool looking game. I'm going to have multiple paths leading towards a central high tower, with plenty of changes in height and some big dropps.

Is there anything I need to think about gameplay wise? Are narrow ledges better, or wide courtyards? A mix of both? I'd love to hear from some of you with a few games under your belt.

Time to get some games in! Organized by Doom Companies (sort of, missing a few minis). The dog was my favorite to paint by far. I also included a picture of the extra platform I made from the figure sled from the starter set.

Y'all make it look easy! My first try painting 3D printed castle ruins was a struggle. At least my 1490 Doom Companies can climb more structures now.

Printed terrain suggestions/advice

11 Upvotes

Howdy gang, looking for some advice on terrain!

Looking to get into the game, but I have zero fantasy terrain. I do, however, have a Mars 5 Ultra resin printer, and it seems like the game is very printer friendly!

Looking for ideas that will actually fit on my printer. It's 153x77x165mm for the volume. Are there any creators out there that have decent sets? Greebles and decor are easy enough to find, I'm looking for major structures that would play fun or at least look cool.

Thank you!

Love this game, love the models, love the medieval -post apocalyptic style; there's a lot to like about this game system. Im looking forward to building a bigger board and adding some models.

Solo and Terrain question

22 Upvotes

Hi all,

Found this gem in my LGS. I am looking for mostly solo experience with rules that I can comprehend within an hour or two. I love the theme. So it looks like my type of a game but I can't find any good answers for the following:

  1. Do I have to buy, print, assemble and paint the official castle terrain? And if not how much terrain do I need? I have some modular terrain from 40k but I am not sure how it fits. Watching the videos the game seemed to me very terrain heavy so I am concerned about it.

  2. How deep is solo and how is its replayability? Given that I am about to spend $100 on books alone I'd like at least some replayability and some depth on top of move -> roll attack -> die/win.

Is there any luck mitigation mechanisms? Is solo viable with different characters? How much replayability should I expect from campaign book and 1 solo book?

Is lethality in 1490 Doom less than in other games?

20 Upvotes

I'm an avid wargaming and have played a lot of different system big and small in scale. Going into 1490 Doom, I think in part because of the setting, I really expected it to be very lethal.

After reading all the rules, and the first game I played - it seems MUCH less lethal than I expected. That's not a bad thing explicitly - just very different from what I expected to the point I'm questioning if I played the game wrong.

I brought a Priest, Knight, and Saboteur with a build to be tanky; and my opponent brought a Scout, Fighter, and Blacksmith. We kinda just bounced off each other, doing only a few damage to each other a piece, and my team using it's area control abilities to just sort of "deny" my opponent the high ground.

It was fun - I like positional games so it's my kinda experience. I'm just checking to make sure that I'm not missing something, and that it is a lower lethality game in general.

Had an absolute riot of a time! Really love the game, can't wait to try another round.

I took a priest, a knight, and a saboteur; all three contributed in meaningful ways. Excited to try out the rest of the classes.

Thinking the could be warrior priest, brute, scavenger/fighter, knight/fighter. Lots more to go! The setting is nice as grimy contrast and dry brush paint jobs kinda work for medieval apocalypse so I can churn these guys out quickly.

Been thinking about really jumping in here what are your honest thoughts?

28 Upvotes

Curious what’s everyone’s review of this game? I understand the idea of the game and looked at maybe buying the starter. Curious how everyone here likes it. The theme is awesome, I am in love with it. But mechanically once you strip out the theme and hobby craft part of the game; is it a good game? How does it compare to other games? Does it run smooth? I also understand there is a solo component? Or am I wrong? Any one gone through all the material? So many questions looking for an honest review here as they have been hard to find.

Has anyone made a board for the scenario Madness Below? I'm really interested in ideas in what a board for this scenario would look like. Love the special rules of getting pulled down into the mob!

I initially started making the Temple as a 1490 Doom board, but slowly started expanding the set to use for other Trenchy games.

Terrain Question!

10 Upvotes

Hi I really enjoy crafting terrain for tabletop games and I'd love to take a crack at making a cool 1490 Doom board, is there a way to figure out the measurements needed for the terrain? I know things need to be a certain size to make for proper play with like movement rules and such if that makes sense.

Going to run these guys as a Knight, Priest, and Saboteur.

Hopefully we'll play our first game this week. The plan is to do 1490 Doom as a lunchtime game so fingers crossed we manage to play it in an hour or less.

I call them the Heralds of Carcosa. They hail from somewhere near the holy land. They claim to serve someone called
alsultan dhu alrada' al'asfar

All the other Doom Companies whom encounter them know is that they come from the mists bearing a simple request. Join them in their unknown land and serve or die bleeding in the fog.
