NOTCRONS: "I can't believe it's not Necrons!" - How do they compare? 

Wonderful!!!

I hate and love this idea. It is terrifying and spectacular.

@@kaimera2932 it's a real neightmare

Add some protein and you get whey-crons

You are somebody’s dad

They have a very cool Army Forge tool now so you can create your own armies! Name your own units, describe their moves and weapons… I’m not doing a great job explaining but Discourse Minis did an interesting walk through. The best explanation I’ve found (quickly) is on OPR’s own news section in a posting from this summer called “Community Books in Army Forge Now!”. It basically provides a great tool if you want to sculpt/kit bash your own force (sort of like Jazzs and team did with the Space Bears), or create playable rules for miniatures you already have on hand!

Yeah, I played a battle with a friend (Age of Fantasy) who hasn't played Warhammer in years (and me just beginning with 40k 9th) on Tabletop Sim. With a prepped workshop table with some cool terrain and fitting models, we build our army, set up and played a game in a bit over 2 hours. It's really easy to get into, especially if you have a bit understanding for tabletop, as all the special rules are just tags in the characters and explained on a page, while alternating activation just keeps you way more engaged than the huge rounds of GW's systems (Glad they are going with alternating for the new Killteam) I can highly recommend it if you wanna get into Tabletop or you're trying to get a friend of family member into it.

Totally agree as well as the rules being lots of fun with no need for pointless complexity but still super tactical and pretty well balanced for the most part (prime brothers are insane though) over 20 army lists for both sci fi and fantasy games both mass battle and skirmish, FTL game on top of that paper minis to try out new armies or show it off to people without needing extra armies. They are great people and yes I am a fan boy the last couple of weeks ha

They are amazing! I hope you will try their rules out they are lots of fun and to the point but still very tactical, always getting updated rules and or army lists with new units or revised points, skills etc...

Love their rules. It’s been a great rule system for getting my son into wargamming!

Do Check out One Page Rules, it's a great way to start playing something really fast, the basic rules are free and you can basically take anything to subsitute the models (printed out 2D versions, for example, if you don't have enough for an army) Great way to try out if you like that sort of game without a huge investment! (I'm personally more interested in the painting part, myself)

yep, I would agree, if they were together on the tabletop I wouldn't think they were meant to be the same faction

@@gingernytemare I could see it, though I would also paint the cloaks in way that lets me run them as flayed ones so.......

stop trying to attain perfect and solid coverage, you are wasting your time by fighting the transparent nature of acrylic paint each layer is supposed to take on information from the previous layer watch the cape segment again and keep an eye out for these details its not going over pure black, it has been lightened by the zenithal pass it is not actually white , its a creamy grey off white dave layers on darker grey and a brighter white for highlights and shadows the end result is a read of white where very little of it is actually white if you start with white, to paint white you are going to endure much pain trying to get a good coat and it will look terrible as it has no depth to the colour its the same for all colours, even black , start with a mid tone of the goal this gives you room to work shadows and highlights and create a final colour

Scale 75 alchemy range and I hear monument hobbies do a decent white, but personally the only white I've ever had a problem with was Vallejo's game colour white as it's a bit more transparent than their model colour range

Our pleasure!

Yeah, a million times better than the gw lizardmen too.

And if you join the Patreon this month, the set with every model that they've released is 70% off and is a really good deal. Also, new models are coming next year.

still substantially cheaper than WH40k.

Yeah.. 40k is a great game with fun lore, but Games Workshop is a garbage fire of a company

Lots of 40k fans are moving over to Battletech. The guys behind BT even advertise 3rd party apps and models on the main website. And both BT and WH40k are based on Dune, so you get a lot of the same themes and motifs

@@SendarSlayer are there any good primers on BT lore?

@@Robster881 Black Pants Legion has some good videos on the individual mechs and how and where they were made. The Battletech game is really good for learning the lore because every universe specific phrase (Like Inner Sphere, MechWarrior, Aurigan Reach) you can hover over and it will expand on what the term means.

0% because Rob has moved on!

I think you mean the Doom Guard of Guerre

Where the lines are made up and the context matters.

@@BlackWolf18C to an extent. There are definite limits, like belts, capes and you ca fill them as you want. With imaginary lines, color gradients, shadows.

Its so infuriating. GW has so much power they could be using to make the hobby better. Instead they've gone full Disney.

I'll take "shit that's not actually happening" for 400$ alex.

who gives a shit about GW legal

these guys are most likely never going to play at a gw store or tournament, so literally nobody cares

Coalition of TAO, remember. All are equal under the Sages!

I've only played one game of Age of Fantasy so far (via Tabletop Simulator) but with building our armies and playing with the recommended starting size, we had a fun afternoon and finished under 3 hours without any big downtime of looking up rules and waiting on turns. Can highly recommend. (Even if i was completely flattened as I misread a line when building my army, but that happens)
