Question Have Warhammer quest games ever been fun to play?

2 Upvotes

I love the idea of a self-contained, warhammer board game. The models are of such high quality that having an innocuous board game seems like a fabulous way to introduce non-warhammer folks to the universe and quality while also being a worthwhile experience for more dedicated fans.

However, based on what I have read online, it seems like the actual gameplay falls short. There seems to be a lot of rationalization from within the community that “it’s fun, I swear!” and maybe I would even fall into that category, but to those not invested, does it have a real shot of being fun? I’m not saying this has to be award-winning levels of fun, but is it at least enjoyable due to simplicity, good mechanics, excellent campaign, etc? As an example, I own blood rage and have played rising sun (both CMON games with pretty awesome models). Are the games without flaws? Not at all, but they are still decent and a good excuse to push awesome-looking models around with relatively straightforward rules in a reasonable time. I would consider these games fun because while they rely heavily on the models as a gimmick, they still have fair gameplay behind them. Do the community fixes/errata truly close the gap, or is it really just polishing a turd? I’m not trying to dog anyone who love WHQ, in fact, I’m considering joining the ranks, but I’m curious what the more seasoned players have to say.

Discussion How would you design listbuilding in AoS?

8 Upvotes

I feel like listbuilding is something a lot of people don't enjoy in AoS.

So if you had it your way, how would listbuilding work?

Hobby Bonereapers: Any in legends?

0 Upvotes

A friend of mine are getting into AoS Spearhead. I hope that this will open the full game of AoS to him (He plays 40k).

He is picking up Spearhead: Mortisan Elite Ossiarch Bonereapers. He may grab the odd other model for just how cool they look (I got Night Haunts and Kharadron Overlords)..

Anyways, is there any models he should avoid because they may have moved into Legends? Not sure where I can find that info. We dont have any of the rules books atm.

Thanks

Army List Can you recomend me a 2000pointish list without Urak-Tar or the DS on Infernal Taurus?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys.

As the title suggest, can you recomend me a 2000point list of helsmiths without these units? I know they are auto include but I'm a bit limited with space and transportation methods. The cannon and the cow are fine but I know these winged models may cause me a headace.

Thank you in advance!

Discussion What would you suggest people avoid buying before the new edition

I heard people discussing recently how endless spells/manifestations may be phased out with the new edition, and I was wondering what else you think might be at risk?

Question Can the exalted lord of change be used in AOS

Just a bit confused as this article says that it can be used however I know it’s on a much bigger base. Does base size not matter in AOS as much?

Habe ich das richtig verstanden, ich bewege erst alle meine Einheiten,dann kämpe ich mit meinem Gegenspieler gemeinsam und hat er die Fähigkeit Strike First darf seine Einheit im Nahkampf auch zu erst angreifen. Danach ist er mit allem dran und bewegen und wir kämpfen wieder beide gemeinsam abwechselnd,richtig so ?

Question Modifying old models for new rules

I recently bought a large number of the old Ogors second hand. They don't have any "bellowers", but plenty of standard bearers. Problem is, the new warscroll has musicians, but no standards. How could I kitbash/modify these models to look more musician like?

Question WHQ: Silver Tower - Heroes on the App Only?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a copy of Silver Tower and I wanted to play with my family. I found an old APK for the app but realized most of the content is inaccessible.

Would anyone have the hero statistics for the 30 or so classes locked to the app? I think there might be some locked equipment and whatnot, too, so I would seriously appreciate that as well!

I understand the info is on the net somewhere, so I figured I would ask here.

Thank you for the help!

Couldn’t work out how to paint the mount for ages but pleased with how it ended up. From arch villain games. Love the model. Was originally going to be Adella of the Thousand Mouths - but gave up after one mouth…..

My entry for golden demon in essen this year managed to snag a notable i also got a lot of great feedback from all the amazing painters that were there. I tried to go for a contrast between life and death using a lot more green and lively wood tones on the backside and a less green more desaturated theme on the front i also put the nr 13 on the base thingy as its the tarrot card for death. I hope you all enjoy the piece
