Thanks. I’d make more, but my painting has been lagging.

But you can always use the list from Ravening Hordes, right? The Spider Riders, Gigantic Spiders and Arachnarok are still in that list.

We play on 4’x4’ tables, but really that’s a holdover from 8th edition. You could use smaller tables these days. It’s great you’re starting with small games. I think they are not talked about enough.

@@dmgashbad4908 awesome! Cant wait to get my elves on the table now.

Hmm. I did just buy the Forces of Fantasy book for Warhammer: The Old World. Maybe Raskin should start assembling an Empire army…

Ugh. That’s a pretty significant mistake on my part, and would make that scenario a lot more difficult.

Thanks, that’s very nice to hear. And yes, actually, there are quite a few solo RPG style miniature games. Off the top of my head, there’s Forbidden Psalm and its related games, Five Leagues from the Borderlands and its variations, Warlord Ascendant, County Road Z, Rangers of Shadow Deep, Hametsu, Majestic 13, The Doomed… As I was writing this I kept remembering more. Of that list I’ve only played Rangers, but several of them I do hope to get to some day. And then of course there are the board games like Gloomhaven, Warhammer Quest, Descent, Zombicide: Black Plague, etc.

Thanks!

This is how old fashioned I am: I miss internet forums. Everything like Discord, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. just seem like forums that don’t work as well. But thanks, and if you ever do stop by, I’ll be the old guy that looks about two generations removed from Scandinavia.

@@dmgashbad4908 Haha,. :D I agree though. Actually having a topic section from other discussions. How did that become less popular over all discussions at the same time?? I don´t get it

Nice. I think I lost most of my original books when my backpack got stolen a couple decades ago. Still, it was nice to get back to it, easy to prep for. It’s weird that a MSHRPG stat block for a supervillain is smaller than a goblin’s stat block in D&D 5e.

Sadly, no. I didn’t even make proper frozen terrain for this. I dunno, I always looked at Frostgrave and thought, “couldn’t I just play Mordheim?”

@@dmgashbad4908 As far as I'm aware, the only difference seems to be that the bands are led by mages rather than warriors.

Thanks. Yeah, when a companion has something to do it’s more of a nice surprise than anything else, but then again the companions with the better skills or stats either died or refused to join me. I don’t think the game is orphaned. I joined the Facebook group to access the fan adventures posted there, and the author was talking about a hard copy and a second edition not too long ago.

Good to hear, it took a while to get added to the Facebook group but it happened so I’m more hopeful.

Thanks. I tried to do a chrome effect on the Bloodletter following Sorastro’s video guide to painting Ultron. I actually think it photographs better than it looks in real life.

Thanks! I definitely try to aim for the higher end of the cynicism spectrum. If you don’t expect too much of your heroes, you’re rarely disappointed.

Thanks. I am happy to say the game did happen, and the system is about as awesome and stupid as I remember. The partially-randomly generated superhero team of Titanmaster, The Evening Highlander and Goldpants were able to foil the nefarious plot of Infernal Monologue.

Yes… go forth and conquer!

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Thanks. I tried to make the sword on the shorter side so ifI ever got to the point where I could make a whole Sisters of Sigmar warband I could use her as a henchwoman with a dagger.

Thanks. Nice that it didn’t take too long. The hardboard does still tend to warp a little.

Clear! *whack*

Thanks. It’s all part of my plan to lure CZcams into a false sense of security.

Thanks. Well, you never know. I somehow found myself in France last summer (and yeah, I went to a bunch of game stores and came back with some nice stuff).

No thank you. Stay away.

Humbly, I would suggest there may be a few things more interesting than myself if planning a trip here. Just so you are not disappointed, maybe visit Disneyland first. Or Yosemite, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, San Diego Comic Con, the giant sequoias, etc. Then I won’t feel like I have the pressure of holding up an entire trip.

@@dmgashbad4908 I was joking my man. Theres a few areas in CA I want to see anyway, mainly the National parks, but dropping by to see you in person would be cool as hel.

Do you mean for Warhammer 8th or Old World? I really don’t have enough experience with Old World to attempt a ranking. I’m not even sure I do with 8th.

@@dmgashbad4908 The game is based on 8th edition so that would be the best reference.

I know what you mean. I did not care for some of my earlier jobs at all. Last year I got a different job, which I absolutely loved, but the whole program got cancelled along with my job. I was pretty sure I wouldn’t find anything I liked as much and would have to go back to my old career. But then this came along. So I do know I have been fortunate.

Thanks, I think. I assume bro got autocorrected to bad. Either that or it’s a very zen cosmic balance sentiment.

I would love to do that. I’ve been collecting models for Vermintide-style characters as well as female variants. Of course, collecting the models is the easy part. What I really should be doing is painting…

Thanks. I’ll try not to mess it up.

Excellent! Yeah, in junior high it would be hard for chess to compete with MSHRPG.

Thanks very much. You guys are such a positive community.

Thanks. It has taught me that I didn’t know board games as well as I thought I did. There’s a lot of popular stuff that I had never even heard of.

Thanks. It is going pretty well so far.

Well, the short answer is no, unless a second edition box became available for a fell-off-the-back-of-a-truck kind of price. And even then I’d be tempted to run through the first edition missions first. It may well happen someday, but not anytime soon.

@@dmgashbad4908 do you have other Zombicide games? I only have 2nd edition.

Oh yes. Besides first edition I also have been playing Black Plague and Marvel Zombies, both good games.

@@dmgashbad4908 cool! What expansions do you for the Zombicide games?

Hmm. Maybe I subconsciously made them that color because I wanted my Orcs to roll in and wreck them.

Thanks. The trick wasn’t really challenging him to a game, it was convincing him to use these rules as opposed to the ones in his head.

Fantastic. Good luck on your army. I thought I would never have to paint another Night Goblin, but now with the Old World, I’ve been looking at finishing up a couple of those units and adding some characters myself.

I agree. Not only that, but so far the games seem to be avoiding some of the problems I’ve seen in larger games online, like non-games where both players refuse to advance or engage, gunline massacres or games where a giant monster or three rampages through the opposing army. It may have more to do with what armies we are taking or a generally low-stakes attitude to throwing our forces forward, though. But that 1000 point mark does cap a lot of the more powerful stuff.

I had to look up Zomlings. Those are adorable and it sounds like games with those would be a lot of fun. It’s great that you and your grandson play these games, and that he got you to play 40k. Maybe I should learn a game my kids like. But that’s Pokémon. Maybe if they make a Pokémon miniature game…

@@dmgashbad4908 We had rules for flyers, poisonous ones, champions & leaders. One dice each, opposing rolls, flyers & poisoned got +1. Champions got 2 rolls and leaders got 3. Then I weaned him onto Heroquest, Warhammer Quest, Space Crusade, Space Hulk and Warhammer. He didn't need much coaxing.

Thanks. Yeah, by default I try to play things as close to the rules as possible. I do use the Mordheim rules for attacking knocked down models, though. In both cases, I think it speeds the game up and makes things die quicker, which is also what I like.

No kidding. I have an extensive Warhammer collection going back decades, and I thought I had some valuable models. But they don’t hold a candle to some of the random Star Wars Lego sets I picked up in the 90s.

Especially for someone as bad at Minecraft combat as me.

Very cool. I’m a little jealous of someone who has played enough Skirmish to have a list of favorites.

I believe you are referring to the Shadow Weaver’s Shadowbind spell. In the spell description it specifically says the strength test is on 2D6.

Thanks. It felt good to bring them out again.

Excellent. I’m still a long way away from getting all my Zombicide models done. I have a regular Abomination on my painting table now.

You are welcome, and thanks to you as well.

Thanks. Good luck. That’s a long series. And you are correct, the additional dungeon events are from the roleplaying book, page 61.

Good to hear. I’ve been enjoying Old World, so I definitely get back to it.
