28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

That looks like the same load-out that they used to come with. The kick in the pants was the single ML per box, when everyone was running 4. I think I ended up spending close to $90 on ML's for my 3 squads.

I've noticed that i'm getting a lot more in a box than I used to. Bought a Devastator box and built a Sergeant plus 4 marines. You get 2 Lascannons, 2 heavy Bolters, 2 plasma Cannons and a Multimelta. Still expensive but its nice you get some bits with it also.

Shame that what you actually want, is 4 missile launchers.

Yeah, I dont know how they are going to fix Genestealers since 6th is the shooty edition. I seriously want to have that feeling of dread again when I see 20+ Genestealers running across the board. Some of my most memorable games have been against Tyranids.

Same way they've "fixed" everything. Make them cheaper. And maybe units larger than 12.

Cheaper is certainly the easiest way. Also something like letting them run and assault in the same turn would be a good start. At this point the only horde type nids worth getting are Termagants and Gargs.

So who's going to plop down damn near $12,000 to get all the Space Marine goodness that GW is offering?

Hey Slurdig check those models out. I thinks its precisely what youd be looking for. WW2 futuristic German soldiers. I personally cant wait for the Heavy assault minis to come out. Damn perfect for a custom Space Marine Legion I want to build.

If I had copius amounts of money to throw away I would probably buy the full chapter bundle they are offering just to see how many pallets it would take to deliver it. 47 rhinos would take up alot of room just by itself allready.

If anyone is interested, Reaper has another kickstarter for a bunch of their bones miniatures. If you don't mind it's plastic/polymer based it's an incredible deal. Bout 2 days left on it.

Anyone going to Adepticon this year?

If you never heard of it, it's a larger gaming convention with only games. Brings in round-about 1000~1250 people however the number grows every year. Located close to Chicago (Lombard, Illinois to be exact) and as long as you're not playing anything, free to come in and look around.

In other related 28mm news, new Tyranids! Yay?

I was huge into warmahordes a couple of years ago, played multiple times a week and did tournies. I love the fluff and the models. You are very correct that the game is really easy to learn and play but very hard to master. It is much more of a chess like thinking game than 40k at least in my opinion. Alot of times it comes down to movement and synergy. Another nice thing is that each caster opens up a whole new play style even if your troops and jacks are the same. So you can change things up for minimal money. But damn the colossals are awesome if you want to spend bank. Also played cygnar mainly and loved my shooty electic army. Not sure if it is still true but when i played, Trolls steamrolled everything.

I play Warmachine/Hordes with a small group of friends pretty much weekly. I play Circle Orboros, my brother plays Cygnar, we have Khador,Trolls,Cryx in the circle of friends. Its a lot of fun, but has a pretty steep learning curve.

I play Warmahordes pretty competitively. It's got probably the tightest rules set of any game currently available and the balance is about as good as it gets. If you are looking to get in to the serious side of it I highly suggest watching the videos over on endgamegaming.net as you can see some really high level play. Be careful on the official forums. There are a lot of bads out there who think they are good and give absolutely terrible advice.

Hormachines combines the strategy of chess with the combo's of Magic The Gathering. Being someone that sucks at both of those games, I tend to lose a lot but still have fun in the process. 9 out of 10 games come down to the wire in the last round so they are always exciting.

Can be a cheap game but can also be very expensive.

And personally, I prefer Hordes over Warmachine. Hordes is just so brutal.

It might only be my region but the warmahordes player group also seemed much older and more mature. They were way more helpful and welcoking than the 40k groups in the area. They were excited for new people and would spend time teaching and even sometimes kick in old models to newbs.

Sounds like the way to go. I found warmchine amd the way focus worked more intuitive than fury but learning warmaxhine first helped translate all the other rules over.

Buddy of mine at work and another person we looking for a side hobby once a week / once every two weeks. Table top strategy a la Warhammer 40k.

We went out and split a WH40k: Dark Vengeance set but reading some of these other articles and seeing the fucking prices at Games Workshop....I'm reconsidering.

As someone who has never played any of these games...any suggestions as to what I should roll with? WH40K? Warhordes?

And these plastic figures...jesus @ their prices. Anyone selling an army for cheap?
