The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Arlequín]

I don't see invasion of privacy, if you go to a public place you're fair game, whoever you are.

In an ideal world though, there would be many more female members on this forum, possibly even the young lady herself. She would also feel confidant enough in the membership response to openly complain if she wasn't happy.

That's not going to just happen by itself though and as a male-dominated site, at least some of us males have to push things in that direction.

Maybe let's just not refer to women as 'hot chicks', especially when they're minding their own business as a wargames tournament.

It's an interesting discussion, but I think it would need a thread of it's own if it keeps going on

I'd rather it died right now tbh, it's a discussion that has run its course.

I'll tell you guys what's a sign of the times: Yesterday I walked past a bar which had a poster in the window advertising "Misery Alleviation Hour".

[Gibby]

Right, so they're going for the idea that in the Age of Sigmar setting people would be hysterical about a three headed dog and others would scoff at the idea? 

[AWu]

A bit silly agree but I am unfamiliar with AoS fluf apart from Shadespire
Three headed Fleshhound of khorne is rumored to get a model

Meanwhile in the real world:



Delaque Brute and Pet Animal.

Well, after personally swearing to "never again" buy anything from GW, I went out yesterday and bought a "First Strike" starter set for 40K to satisfy a painting itch (I blame a recent read of a Horus Heresy novel).

Fortunately, the game itself appears to be a let down and the pricing of subsequent "essential requirements" means I doubt I'll fall any further into the maelstrom.

So the twitch apparently spoke a lot about Necromunda. Someone did a list on fb;

Ian Henderson (19hrs): Necromunda notes from the Twitch live stream on Delque and updated Rules with Andy and Johnathan.

2 Hardback Books, main rules and gangs, inc slipcase double book Edition.
Rules updated and reformatted.
All book rules so far (not WD gangs) plus new material, world map, FAQ and Eratta.
Large background section Inc new background and Necromunda history timeline.
Gang War books will no longer be for sale.
Supplements will come out as add ons for the new books. No plans for annual rulebook compendiums.

Model status and conditions changed to be easier.
Movement and terrain rules cleared up.
Cover helps vs template weapons.
Toxin / armour save updated and clarified.
Generally, loads of rules tightened up. Very few rules actually changed in what they do.
All fighters can take Wargear, still have weapon restrictions.
Some weapon traits added, others tweaked. Weapons have some stat/modifier changes.
Beasts Lair changed with full profile.
New gang equipment like one use ammo cache or melta traps.

House sub-plots added. Use card decks or roll on 4 tables. Extra objectives, like attack a leader or use Coup de Grace with extra rewards of Creds, Rep, Exp and Tactics cards.

Bounty Hunters updated to help claim Creds and possibly stay with gang for more than one game.

Quarterly releases still coming. Might not all be gangs.

No Gang War 5. But Delaque rules will be available separately.
Minimum Tactics card deck size.

Delaque inc male and female models. A little taller than other gangs.
Long-las heavy weapon. Plus a couple of others. Nothing too big.
Gun shrouds (silencers), web Gauntlet, web solvent, digi-weapons
FW- gravgun, heavy flamer, plasma, melta
Spyker, forced psyker Brute
Spekter, drone servo skull / pet

Delaque Gang specific tactics inc moving obstacles, Intel check for auto miss, swap model positions, can’t target Chosen model, pitch black rules for rest of game.

General gangs tactics inc change attack target, 3 fighters get free shot, Chosen model may not be played, -1 BS WS and Intel on Chosen model.

Guild allies in the future. Guild representatives join gang.
Phyrr Cat models getting reworked.

Happy with that, I'll be getting both books. I have already discussed with my campaign group, we'll be ending the Turf War around Christmas, or just after. Ready to start a new Turf War in the new year.

We'll allow old gangers to be rehired as per rules, but normal starting amount. That way it's a very easy to add the new members to the campaign. With the new updated rules and them being all in one place, I will be super happy.

Makes me glad that I held off buying any of the Gang War books throughout the last 18 months or so - I'd much rather have to deal with 2 books than 5 or 6 whenever playing a game.

Still, looking forward to giving Necromunda more of a run out.

Its very cool set.

What I may suggest if you would want to expand is Dark Imperium starter set.
More primarises and nurgle guys and good bulk price. Ive bought both sets without intention of laying 40K



Ad: Munda

I hope it will tempt more people to get into. Its great game.
And shitty release schedule with Computer games DLC model just scared many people off

Last quarter of 2017 was best time for GW games in ages with Necromundaand Underworlds being released.
Truly gems of playability unheard since LOTR

Torture harp is for real! 


And biker gangs are incoming in numbers

[mcfonz]

Yeah, Necro has only been out a yeah. Last November wasn't it?

I've done the same, held back on the books. I suspect they won't be cheap but still. Worth it.

[Chico]

Ohhhh those new Slaaneshi sculpts are going to end up making me so poor  .

Those Hybrid Biker look amazing too, I don't need a Cult force though.. Do I? *willpower crumbling*
