New AoS Play Test

I don’t think GW has ever made a perfect game. But, having just play tested it in store I’m really saddened and can’t help but think this is the furthest from perfect that they’ve gone :( I still paint but I can’t wrap my head around how GW have a healthy future. I miss my RnF. What I found funny wa...

Re: Andrews Relaunched Caledor Army

I just picked up a paint brush for the first time in 2 years!! :o In Jan 2017 I split up with my girlfriend, it was the best relationship I’ve ever had and the only one I’ve ever thought would “last forever”. Looking back I can tell that the communication skills (from both of us) weren’t good enough...

Re: 2,400 Dragon List First Attempt

So my thoughts; *I liked 9th a lot!! It feels like its trying to create a game which is balanced, fa...

Re: 6 player Eclipse

Eclipse is a Civilisation building game set in space. The goal is to build the best empire; you can do that by spreading out and occupying new planets, you can do it by developing your technology, you can do it by building monoliths/statues on your new planets... or you can just decide to beat the c...

6 player Eclipse

For any other board gamers out there I just played a 6 player game of Eclipse. We made good time at just 5 1/2 hours. We were playing with the Rise of Ancients and also the new Shadow of the Rift expansion which were fun. The new anomalies are tougher than I initially anticipated and they rather dec...

Re: 2,400 Dragon List First Attempt

Oh wow, I didn't realise there was another new edition.

I'll run it past my opponent next time I see him but my understanding is that this is the latest copy he has; it's what he presented me with and what he has proposed we play to.

4,800 points would certainly be fun!!

Re: 2,400 Dragon List First Attempt

Do you mean 2x 7 Swordmasters with the command stripped out? That would only save me 20 points... not even enough for 2 more Flame Wardens If I pulled the plug on the Swordmasters altogether then I would worry that I lack any sort of high intensity killing power. I mean sure, there's the Dragon and ...

Re: Andrews Relaunched Caledor Army

Exciting news!! A friend of mine and I are going to give the 9th Age a try. Dark Elves are one of his armies so I've suggested we start with that for thematic reasons. I've only skim read the rule book and it looks like it's basically just a tweaked version of 8th. I still think using 7th as a start...

Re: Andrews Relaunched Caledor Army

The Reavers are turning into a slowish paint and it's all starting to stall :/ I'm making progress; I'm hitting them with a paintbrush for around an hour a day for each of the last few days and they're definitely moving. Just slowly.

I reckon I'll have something to share with you all soon :)

Any model? At all? I would get the Smaug model from the Hobbit/LotR line. It's massive, a showpiece, and would challenge my painting skills. For practical purposes, I think I would get the new Alarielle model on the giant beetle. See above reasons with the added bonus of actually being able to fiel...

Re: Andrews Relaunched Caledor Army

Sooooo, I just did a points tally this morning to work out roughly how much I've got in High Elves. I've been telling people it's about 8,000 points, but that I reckon I could build a legal 6,000 point army for any recent edition. Turns out I actually have 9,600 points worth of High Elf models :shoc...
