Happy weekend
Happy weekend Beasts!
Does Shadespire mean there will be no new Mordheim on the horizon?
I guess they said at the GW panel at the Nova Open that there was currently no plans to bring Mordhiem back in the foreseeable future, but there is no saying what could happen way down the line. So I take that to mean we probably won’t see it for maybe a few years but if the Specialist games they have and are bringing back continue to be popular we probably will see it at some point, at least I hope so.
It’s the Weekend.
Not any weekend, this one marks the “Return of Brian”. Following the “Life of Brian” his followers have eagerly awaited his return, only this time he’s pi$$ed off chasing after Ophelia!
Chain of Command’s campaign books sound interesting. I like that it takes in to account how your troops and Commander feel about you.
Awesome show. Glad to see Too Fat Lardies finally get some attention!
Nice show
Thank you As 😉
Wow Dark age models look so nice. Is there a distributer in the EU whit this game?
Just on the playing time of Gloom of Kilforth. The 45 minutes is per player, and it probaly takes a little longer than that. For that reason I only play it 1-2 players.
chain of command sounds fantastic especially the mini campains
You know I’ve always seen Two Fat Lardies at wargames shows but never really checked out their stand, I will definitely change this at Salute next year.
Really like the look of Shadespire. Pretty sure it’s not a replacement for Mordhiem
Really different from Mordheim for sure. Much more of a board game arena feel to it. The free choice of unit activation and deck building also really mix the game up. Az
Its my weekend off time for tea and Bow. Brush in hand time for painting.
Such a plan! Az
Chain of Command, the best platoon size game I ever played.
Chain of command sounds good. I have been looking for another WWII set to use my Bolt action armies with. I haven’t played much BA since V2. Could this be a good replacement?
The pint sized campaigns sound like a great idea.
Nice Weekender guys, have fun at Essen!
I got to try out Chain of Command. We have the rulebook at the club, just need to tempt someone to a game. I’ll definitely check out the pint-sized campaigns.
Thank you kindly @guillotine! 🙂 Az
I agree with the richness of real world history versus the contrived – it wins hands down every time as not writer can ever conceive or create anything like the depth and detail that exists in actuality – not even Tolkien and he created entire languages for his Middle-earth! I love the idea of mini campaigns though I would like them to vary in size and duration just like real operations – anything from 3 to perhaps 7 or 8 games with the 4 or 5 being more typical. There is an old computer game called Blitzkrieg with several add-ons… Read more »
Downfall looks amazing
AZ, did you revile the prizde for the Awards voting! A BIG BLACK box full of goodes! Sounds like Kingdom Death Monster to me. lol
It’s back baby! I can safely say that if we had a Kingdom Death Monster to give away, it’d be in my house locked up 😛 Az
as good as downfall might be and as pretty as gloom of kilforth is, KD:M monster is up for pre order Az mate.
There’s too many “life destroying” games out there – Gloomhaven, Kingdom Death, 7th Continent. If I start them all other things will have to take a back seat, including eating, sleeping and weekendering…. just can’t risk it 😛 Az
I feel your pain. although it seems only fair as I have been on the gloom of kilforth kickstarter, tis a thing of beauty.
like shadows of esteren the sound track tipped me over the edge. a game reaches another level for me when it hit me emotionally. beautiful art is one thing, but for a game to be beautiful on the inside elevates it way beyond mechanics.
peace and love and pixie dust
Happy weekend everyone! 😀 Az
Shadespire looks good
Happy weekend! the pint sized campaigns sound very interesting, I like narrative campaigns.
congratulations @warzan!
Congrats @warzan !!!
