Yeah. Why can't we just buy a game and have the game now rather than having to buy extra stuff to make the game complete.

I might go for the box, just to get beaky marines and those studded shoulder pads :)

They're not beaky helmets, but the "stormtrooper" style ones.  You could convert easily enough - plenty of beaky heads on eBay.  For now.

Been reading up on the new lore for the lizardmen seraphon. Good news is that they're still cold-blooded badasses. The bad news is that some of the units have 'star' tacked onto their names for no apparent reason, nearly all infantry are magical constructs or something and instead of fighting off the forces of chaos with nothing but rocks, everyone has magic weapons. Why even that last one?

I know you were, but I bet they wish they had fans as compliant as GW's tabletop business model...

I'd heard mordheim was shaping up pretty well. Good to know that at least something's still likable on that front.

This might be the way forward - taking the rule-writing out of GW's hands (not a new thing, I know).

I didn't play computer games until I got Blood Bowl ~18 months ago. Now our club (with members in Queensland, northern NSW and Victoria) can run back to back seasons in our league with members dropping in and out over the year (with a small level of role playing in the discussions that happen on our forum).

There are some things computers do great, but I think I speak for almost all of us when I say it'll never be able to replace tabletop gaming.

Even in 2053 when they release a fully virtual world, I still want to know that's real super glue that's sticking my figures together, not just my mind being tricked into thinking they are.

one of the nice things is online play with other people is going to be a big thing in the final release, This means lots of people are going to get the chance to send poor ol one eye Corl to hospital with horrific injuries.

I would be quite interested in that. the few revieuws I have seen were either GW fanboys or people who never played the real game.

I never played Mordheim but I always though the premise/setting was cooler than the main 'Hammer game.  I'd love to see a Batrep!  :)
