not seeing the army lists
yeah, where are the army lists to?
Give us a few mins (Army Lists are going up now)
you want minutes?? sigh…we want it now!!
glad to see lists now uploaded
Happy Days! Looking forward to this!
Fighters and Fighter-bombers…..nice
Yeah this has the potential to be really nice.
Ive gotta say it im really enjoying our games so far.
the Indirect Fire sounds cool, I’ll have to see how it plays out though
Are the diagrams somewhere else? I don’t see the diagrams that are being referenced (eg. page 4 in the movement section).
Alpha rules I’m afraid… no diagrams yet.
At first read, it looks a superb development from the KOW rules base. Good news. “We are going to need some bigger guns……………..”
no army lists????
ooops i can see them now :S
They are listed under the rules!?!? 🙂
yeah i know i was being ignorant 🙁
thank you very much guys
i am honestly really impressed. it looks really quite awesome. I was expecting a simplified 5th ed 40k clone but i was pleasantly surprised. it is refreshingly different and is alot easier to understand than its rivals. it looks much better and more engaging than KOW (although thats probably just because i prefer sci-fi to fantasy) i love the BFG’s and the aircraft rules are pretty good too. It took me a while to get my head around vehicles having nerve and seemingly being destroyed by fear. You have to look at it from a different angle but once you… Read more »
On a quick glance through………..
THANK YOU MANTIC!!!!!! I am gonna be pushing my 40k pals into this.
gonna definitely look at these thnx mantic
So we have:
Forgefathers (Dwarfs?)
Marauders (Orcs?)
Corporation
Rebs
Asterians
The Eigth Race
where did you get that infomation from???
In the Army list sheets
i want names you will answer my question
he a naughty boy…sharing alpha rules info. Available from a backstage near you
😉
I must say at first sight these rules look pretty good! 🙂 As a Kings of War player i feel right at home, the mechanics are similar and promise a fast and easy game.
It’s a bit odd that Forgefathers and Marauders are allied armies, but we’ll have to see what Alessio had in mind. 🙂
my bad i didnt look through the army lists 😀
Will hopefully have a chance to proxy soon, having read through the rules a few times, it wouldn’t be long till you could play this from memory, incredibly easy leaving more room for just playing the game, rather than referencing rules every turn. Will give me a nice break from 40k
After reading through the rules I am very excited. They seem solid and fairly streamlined, which I really like since nothing ruins a game for me more than stopping and flipping through a rulebook for 10 minutes to figure something out. As long as they do a good job with the models Warpath has a lot of potential.
At first glance these rules looks excellent, can’t wait to try them out! Mantic seem to have delivered again!
this is my first time looking at the rules for this or KoW and I am quite entranced. 40K is starting to lose its appeal , I am impressed.
One question , units do they have to move in regimented groups or is there formation quite loose , I cant see that in the rules?
cheers
In KoW they are rank and file (regiment style) but in warpath they are individual models that move more freely 🙂
sorted , cheers
Any other Doom fans see the reference to BFG’s….or is it my twisted mind! Great rules, going to be a cracking game, with some strokes of genius. The reinforcement rules are superb, yet relatively simple but adds a whole new preassure and tactical edge to the game.
Flyers seem to particularly naughty too. Well done to Mantic and Mr C.
Looks good so far. Need to give it a try and give you my feed back.
This… is awesome.
oh god, there goes all my future disposable income
I’ll hopefully be digging out the Squats and giving this a test run in the next few days. Quite a few typos. 😉
