Nice!

Two last question:

Campaign play; is it something that exists in this game?

Range of the weapons... If you were to set up a larger game surface of multiple sets do weapons have the range to cover it?


Sorry for all the questions but I like to make informative purchases... sometimes. However with models this cool it's almost a certainty i'll be going it!

Heh, it's all good everyone can make mistakes...

It's only bad when you knowingly sell people fake rumours such as when I convinced my old gaming club that GW had bought the Harry Potter rights...

So do you guys reckon it's likely this scifi game will be skirmish ala infinity or more mass combat?
I know there is not enough to go on but guessing is good.

How odd. Do BoW pay to have their videos hosted as they are usually pretty long?
Maybe youtube is turning greedtube?

Cheers Strewart.. I was at work so could not really kick back and watch a two hour vid.
That stuff looks Freaking awesome, a little bizarre but I like different. Perfect timing for sure and if this is not a teaser ill eat my hat... raw.

Oh man... I want it noooow....
35  Non Mantic Mayhem / Non Mantic Mini Discussion / Re: Dust Tactics anyone? on: May 20, 2011, 05:12:28 am
Yeah, that sounds pretty sweet actually!

And the playing surface is a board that comes with the game and movement is square based?
How big is the playing area?

(you should do a review sometime Wink )

This is a game I definitely intend on getting on board with. I love the dust universe and those walker vehicles look awesome.

Whats the combat in the game like?
Buckets'o'dice or less rolling (if dice at all...)

The only problem is I have not found someone who stock it except Maelstrom but... oh hold on... theres no embargos on FF stuff lol.

Ug... it's 2 hours long and clicked around to try to find it but alas not to be.
Does anyone know the actual time its there?

Yep, that would be about right Gaarew. Stuff was cheap back then but still it would feel like you were burnt on the price of what was plastic army dudes.

Been a while since those days, days where you could by the WD battlereport army in a set with a decent discount, free box of goodness with a WD subscription (thats how I got my Gorkamorka!!! a whole free big box game with a sub!!!) and of course mail order deals...

If you could pinpoint where they went to **** would you say it was when they got shareholders and all that guff?

Even if made of money there is a limit to what I'll spend on my hobby. Who remembers the price of the original multipart plastic chaos warrior kit when it was released?

$35au and it included metal command parts and a movement tray. I understand the product is different now but still thats a fair mark off the $60odd they cost now.

Well I have a $350pound shopping cart ready at Maelstrom for when i get paid next week. Its full of GW terrain that I never got round to buying and probably wont buy at AU RRP.

Thank Cavatore for KoW!

Here in Australia Maelstrom was great as we are paying nearly double for GW product then what Maelstrom sells for. It's about $35au for a tac squad from Mael whereas here from a GW hobby centre its $62... thats a massive difference!

Also a price increase will increase the amount of difference dollar wise so really all I can say is **** em.

There are talks that it is likely that the indies over here will decrease their discounts as they can and not have that same competition with overseas sellers.

There are hopes this way of GW decreasing costs as Battlefront did not long ago to better represent prices in the overseas markets but people are kidding themselves. They are indeed money grabbing whores... well I can't blame a company for wanting to make money but limiting my options on where I can spend my earnt dollar is a bit of a dunt act.

So yeah, unless I can find another cheap source of GW product no more spending on them.

Just took a looks through the site and really like the looks of the Orc and Goblins and thought "would it be difficult to convert KoW to 15mm?"
Would it just be a scale change and keeping everything the same?

Very excited about DKH 2. Rules for missile fire should make things even more interesting hopefully but dependant on how it is implemented.

As for the Greatax Orcs... I reckon they look the business. The head does look a little weird, a bit too smiley for my likings but thats not a huge issue for me. What I am hoping for is some closed hands on the sprue so that they dont all have to be holding their weapons two handed but rather some can have them resting on their shoulders or touching the ground.

As for the lacklustre army weeks... Wholeheartedly agree. Some of the past ones sucked big time even more so when you are waiting around till midnight-1am over here to see what the newest blog update is just to see it be another painted example. I'd prefer to see sprue closeups and maybe some cool looking conversion/kit bash examples.

That name suggestion is exactly what I would suggest!

Would they then have to change their other nights to 'Knights of Black'?

I reckon that first pic looks sweet though I am not sure about the blue face and the horses flesh needed to look wetter. Still only small gripes as it really is the model that counts and that is looking fine. I reckon I may add barding to the horse to bulk it out more and make it look really different from the revenant cav.
44  General Category / News & Rumours / Re: Mantic is looking for Gen Con volunteers on: May 10, 2011, 10:13:35 am
Would love too. Last time I got involved in this type of thing I ended up building and painting 6 4x4 Mordheim tables. Tiring but a blast!

Unfortunately being in Oz makes it a little hard...
45  General Category / News & Rumours / Re: Mantic News and Rumour Roundup on: May 09, 2011, 09:23:58 am
I always figured they would mash up the different armies in the DKH games. Elves versus Orcs should be interesting. Is it safe to assume that the game will be pretty much the same thing; good guys go barreling through some sort of stronghold to achieve objectives playing against a bad guy type guy?

Or any chance of 2 players on more or less even footing fighting it out?
