Damn, so when is it actually out? I'm hoping to be able to order it before the end of the month

Oh, that is good.
Pity there isn't a store online or something, as that would make it much easier (and require less commitment) to decide if I'm interested, and what I could get.

All plans?
That's very odd.
I can understand that personal problems can... well be very difficult, but I'm surprised that the new venture is over after all the work he put in.

I would have expected a bit of a delay really (and also some more news by now).

I hope things get better.

Holy crap, this is weird.

I feel like we should all grab up some torches, link arms and walk through the forest until we find him.

Hi, welcome to the forums.
I just wanted to say, I enjoyed your story of how you found this place and got back into gaming.

I've always found that taking things slowly(in terms of purchasing) really helps me stay engaged in the hobby. As does just taking your time with the whole thing. It's actually not that hard to create a campaign between two people once the two of you feel confident in the game a bit.

Yeah, that sounds right. It is very simple.

And I'm guessing you learned that the grunts section is really not geared to taking out tanks in combat. I think we were using a Stunt Bot team, or a Captain, although in combat a ripper team is probably the best thing to take.

It's really hard to say.
I think that each army appeals to different people.
Obviously I'd narrow it down to the armies I like the aesthetic of most.

Then I'd look into the play styles of those armies, as personally I don't want to collect an army of vast amounts of infantry only to find out I want an elite army with access to lots of shooting.

What kind of play style are you looking for?

What really?
You think warpath is less slick? I think it's better. What is it you don't like?
Personally I have one house rule, and that is that you roll one dice for nerve, but other than that I find the game is pretty great at 500pts.

I don't really know, as I don't play elves, but I wanted to say congrats on finding a group of that size. Sounds good.

You could always look into the armies that they have no models for yet and see what you think about them...

What do you mean this is getting out of hand?
What is?

Hey Darsc.
To be honest, it seems like a fairly expensive thing to do, as you'd have to buy one of every single mini they produce.
I have a camera that can do all of that.
The actual video part would be very simple to do (as I'm sure you can tell). It really is just having a good camera, and a turntable(both of which I have). Pity it's so expensive.
Look forward to seeing what happens.
12  General Category / General Discussion / Re: Painting new year resolutions on: January 01, 2012, 11:54:31 pm
Not a bad idea, and not too hard to remember on a smaller forum.

I actually have painted more this year than I bought. However I haven't managed a 2:1 ratio, which is really what I need at this point. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's unpainted minis outnumber the painted. However at the start of this year I think my unbuilt models outnumbered my painted ones.

It took me about 5 years or so to do my skaven army when the new book caused me to loose interest in finishing the last few units(pathetic, but it happens) as it meant i would have to change around a bunch of unit sizes etc.

Once this Brett/undead army is done I think it'll be warpath stuff or quite some time.
13  General Category / General Discussion / Re: Painting new year resolutions on: January 01, 2012, 06:48:27 pm
Well, like usual I'm going to try and buy less than I paint. I've managed this a few years now, but since I hadn't been doing it for quite some time when I started the hobby I always seem to have more minis.

Finish the undead/brettonian army that I started.
Build some(any) sci-fi terrain.

Some stuff Max and I are working on for the podcast Cheesy

These are interesting...
I have a few, but I'm not sure how related to the game they are:

Highs:
Rediscovering my love of sci-fi wargaming that I had in 2nd ed 40k and Epic through playing warpath.

Realising I'm in for the long haul with Warpath and getting a good few people to play it.

Improving my unit painting techniques

The corporation list. It is fab.

Starting the podcast and then making the Christmas video in just a week(I've always loved that poem).

Having a gaming club run every Saturday.

Lows:
Having the gaming club I run prevent me from attending 4 weekend tournaments this year.

The fact that since I like KoW and Warhammer equally, it makes it much more difficult to convince others to play KoW with me.

Randomness of the mantic nerve system.

Owning so many GW models that I can't excuse buying as many mantic ones as I'd like.

15  Non Mantic Mayhem / Non Mantic Mini Discussion / Re: Nova Corp. - Reapers SciFi mini's. on: December 30, 2011, 09:52:53 pm
For shame Darsc, for shame.

Personally I don't like them as much at all. How much were they?
I mean, they look alright, but I much prefer the asthetic of the minis I've seen for the corp. But as you said... you hadn't seen them yet.
