Miniature Monday - Spirit Host #2

The second spirit host for my Age of Sigmar list.  This one came out a little darker than the first because of additional layers I added.

Miniature Monday - Spirit Host

Complete my first spirit host model last week using the newer kit.  Need to finish 5 more of these before Nov 6th as I am playing Age of Sigmar at the Windy City Throwdown GT.

Halo Fleet Battles - Unboxing Review

Do you have some time to sit and read what I have to say about the new Halo tabletop game? Excellent! =D

Many months ago I saw that Spartan Games was going to be producing a Halo space game; as a rabid fan of both Battlefleet Gothic and Halo, I just knew I had to have it. Fast forward to last month, and I saw that they'd have a GENCON special, where if you preorder it during that weekend, it'd come with free extra ships worth $40, so I definitely had to make it happen. The box arrived yesterday, and I immediately tore it open and dug in, feeling like Christmas again.

So first up, it comes in a pretty swank box, with plenty of pictures, art, and so on.

Ooo, pretty pictures.

So I open that, and find two more boxes containing all the cool stuff. Interesting way to package, but it helpfully separated the models and paper content from each other, so stuff didn't get bent or punctured. Smart!

And yet, curse you extra barrier!

Once I got those open it was into the meat'n'taters. They were chock full of sprues and books and templates and dice and etc. At first I thought "Oh here we go" because I also have the Robotech RPG Tactics box, and those things were a bugger to assemble. However, Spartan really knows their stuff, because not only are the ships pretty well detailed, they're also a breeze to assemble (barely had to clean any flash whatsoever), and everything fits snug. The Covenant Heavy Cruiser is 7 pieces, the Battlecruisers are 4 pieces, and the Heavy Corvettes are 2 pieces. The UNSC Heavy Carrier is 8 pieces, the Heavy Cruisers are 9 pieces, and the Frigates are a blissful single piece.

The finished result looks amazing, with layers of armor and weapons, it's like they scanned it straight out of the game and onto the table (which they probably did, being computer generated and all). The assembly is so smooth for all the ships, though the aft armor on the UNSC Heavy Cruisers had a tricky spot on the bottom that simply called for more pressure when pushing together.

Modeling points of interest: All ships in the basic box are on a single base. The smaller ships are grouped together, while the bigger ships get their own. Ship sizes are Small, Medium, Large, and Massive. The UNSC Heavy Carrier is a Large ship; they plan on releasing more ships down the line, including the UNSC Infinity, which sits on 3 bases, and measures a whopping 27cm long! By comparison, the Heavy Cruiser (the iconic Pillar of Autumn from the first Halo game) is a piddly 6cm long...

They say the game will retain a consistent 1/20000 scale, which is most excellent.

Covenant Sprue.

UNSC sprue.

Because I did the GENCON special (it sounds like something that should come with a "Happy Ending"), I also received an extra pair of sprues and attendant accessories (tokens, etc.)

Pictured: Your Happy Ending, fool.

This netted me an additional Heavy Cruiser and 2 Corvettes for the Covies, and an extra Heavy Carrier and 3 Frigates for the UNSC. Considering the advertising said it was $40 of free ships, I'm going to hazard a guess that each sprue in that picture is $20. On the face it seems like it'll be high pricing, but consider this: BFG battleships (that are about the same size as the big ones here) were $30, and not nearly as nice to put together. Plus, each comes with an escort squadron, so on the whole I think pricing will make it easy to get into this game.

For those who are wondering, these are the lengths for each ship type:
- UNSC Heavy Carrier = 12.5cm
- UNSC Heavy Cruiser = 6cm
- UNSC Frigate = 2.75cm

- Covenant Heavy Cruiser = 15cm
- Covenant Battlecruiser = 9cm
- Covenant Heavy Corvette = 4.75cm

The books and cards and templates are all full color and nice to look at. They provide plenty of tokens (I hope!) and handy reference sheets, making this game out to be one of the least bookkeeping required games I've seen in a while.

Looks more complicated than it is.

The celestial phenomena especially impressed me. Printing and games have come a long way to produce such artistic templates, and I'm really enjoying it. It basically means I can play a game out of the box, with no need to craft up terrain or anything.

The dice are a nice addition, though in truth you can play the game entirely without the specially marked dice. It just looks better when you do!

The two left bags are Order dice, which I'll talk about below. Each of three symbols shows up twice on the dice, so realistically you can replace it with a D3 if necessary:
- 1-2 = Command Icons
- 3-4 = Attack Icons
- 5-6 = Defense Icons

The big white sack (teehee) can be replaced with D6 if necessary:
- 1 = Fail
- 2-3 = Miss
- 4-5 = 1 Success
- 6 = 2 Successes

Still, the dice are nice so I'll prefer to use them. ;)

According to the game's points values and such, each fleet in the box comes out to about 1000 points, and they are dead equal in value, unlike most starter boxes. That's fantastic, as you and a friend can split the box and each have a fleet right off the bat. The book describes 1000pt games as being playable on a 4'x4', 1000-3000 on a 4'x6', and more is bigger. It's definitely a big chunk of ships that each player gets, leaving me to just want the new stuff down the line.

So that's all that came in the box! Next up: gameplay.


The Game

Naturally, once I stopped drooling over everything I cracked open the 128pg book of rules and read it cover to cover. Considering my experience with many games, I found their choice of presentation odd at first. In the first part of the book, they explained the stat cards, how things worked, and so on, while the second part was dedicated to how to play the game. Normally I find the reverse is more common, but in doing it this way, yes I was somewhat confused early on, like "Oh that's handy to know, but how do I do this?" As I read on though, everything fell neatly into place, and by the end of the book, I was hardly an expert, but everything made crystal clear sense and I felt ready to play my first game.

The first and quite pleasing thing to note is that premeasuring is allowed at any time for any reason. Huzzah!

The game is broken down into turns, and from there into phases, like most. The phases are thus:

1. Order Dice Phase
2. Wing Phase
3. Battle Group Phase
4. Boarding Resolution Phase
5. End Phase

In the Order Dice Phase, you generate (roll) Order dice with which you can issue special orders throughout the turn, You also determine that turn's Initiative, via D6 + Command Icons. Units in Reserves also arrive during this phase.

The Wing Phase is all about the tiny attack craft, represented by the tokens with widdle pwanes on 'em. You activate and move a Wing (a stack of tokens) one at a time, alternating with your opponent. Whoever won Initiative goes first, moving Wings into BTB with other Wings or ships, depending on its purpose. After all moves are done, then the Wings attack, again chosen and alternating via Initiative. The rules are fairly simple/complex, meaning they need to be read through entirely, but once you do, the entire process goes pretty quick.

The Battle Group Phase is for the ships and is basically the same, except that you move and attack in the same activation. A Battle Group consists of some ships, duh, grouped together, like a squadron. During this time, ships can also launch boarding craft, though they act more like a weapon instead, because you have to be in range upon time of launch, or they just go poof. The rules for shooting are pretty easy to grasp, considering the ubiquity of weapons in each fleet. This makes the game less about cheesy super weapons and more about maneuvering and coordination, something I think most players will enjoy!

As well, damage is easy to track. For all ships included with the box game, they all essentially have "3 HP". To cause a single damage, an enemy has to generate enough hits to get past their defense number. This number can be lowered via damage its already taken, vulnerability from positioning, and so on. In response, most ships have some sort of defense systems (shields or armor, and point defense systems for missiles). So the shooter rolls a bunch of dice and counts up his successes. The defender rolls some dice for his defenses, counting his successes, and subtracting his total from the shooter. If the shooter still beats the defense value, he causes 1 damage. Overall, this seems like a rather nifty system where both players get to act.

In the Boarding Resolution Phase, the ships that are being boarded are resolved. Depending on how many flew in, what other interceptors are involved, and so on, each player rolls attack/defense dice as in the other phases. Then, both players roll an actual D6 and add their scores together, referencing the board chart (which can be modified by who won the attack/defense roll). The results on this table range from the boarders getting repulsed, to the defending ship getting straight up annihilated in one go! I'd say the Boarding Resolution phase is potentially the most powerful in the game, since it has the potential to bypass the defenses and "HP" and go straight to dead.

Finally, in the End Phase, players are allowed to attempt to Defuse bombs (set by boarders), Remove Vulnerable tokens, and launch more Wings from their carriers.


Now, not everything about this release is glowing. For example, the fluff is minimal. I know the story is already widely known, and whoever wants to play this will likely already be well versed in it. It's just, I'd have liked to see ship stats, like length, its weaponry, defenses, crew, other little fiddly bits. Things like that always interest me.

The organization in the book threw me off, but it vindicated itself by being completely understandable once I got to the end. I guess it's like a procedural mystery show on TV, where everything makes sense at the end.

The bases were tricky, of all things. The pegs just did not want to fit in the holes well, so I had to trim them down and still they jammed. Thumbs are a little sore from pressing down now. Another bases issue is that they don't supply enough to get all the ship cards onto a base. I have two leftover that just have nowhere to go. As well, I have a spare UNSC Frigate and Covenant Heavy Corvette with no base to go on, but since those are from the GENCON special add-on I'm not too vexed. I get to make objectives now!

The base stat cards were a point of irk. Despite that there were two of each big ship, they only provided one of each base cards. That means I can't play certain Battle Groups unless I buy more (I will happily do so, just...bla).


Overall, I'm really digging this game. There is simplicity and complexity enough that gamers of all types should be able to enjoy it, and the fact that it's coming from a well establish brand will certainly help. Who wants to play! =D

Warhammer and "I GOTTA CHANGE THE RULES"

Andrew here. So it's been a while, but here's a new blog post!

Well. The game of Warhammer Fantasy (WF) is dead and gone. It was been replaced by Age of Sigmar (AoS), and boy howdy has the internet exploded into something stupid, as usual. Right out of the starting gate we have already seen many "composition" packs (I hate them all!) and rules changes (oh you think you know better??) in an effort to introduce "balance", when in reality it's to change the game so that they feel better about their little worlds. My annoyance with the egotistical bent these all have shall be the topic of discussion today!

First up is the overweening need for "balance". I understand that a lack of a points system has left many in a lurch.

"How do I make armies without a points system??" is the constant complaint, and the answer is simple: Don't be a turd. Have a quick chat with the person (or people) you'll be playing with, and discuss how much you both want to throw down on the table. Do you both want to have a similar model count? Do epic characters matter? Does one side want to try a "last stand" scenario? The rules allow for that, what with the Sudden Death rules and the fact that you can pretty much deploy anything you want to.

"But what about the unfair game of I have three Bloodthirsters and my opponent has four Skaven Slaves?? As the daemons player I can choose a Sudden Death objective!"

Well, sure you can. But here's the thing: extreme scenarios like that will not happen, because either 1) Everything about that game is already such a massive douche-move that nobody in their right mind will play it, or 2) People will realize you're an epic asstard and you'll never get to play another game ever again.

So the solution for playing pick up games is to have a pleasant interaction with your opponent about what kind of game you both are looking for. Here's a shocker: you generally did this before when playing WF, and it'll continue to happen into AoS, because they are social contract games, just like any other tabletop game. If you're an amiable person, you'll get many games that end up being fairly balanced through self-regulation. If you're not such a person, well...don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Now, I understand that tournaments will run better with a set of rules governing what everyone can bring. This makes sense, because they are not all pickup games and you don't have time to set the social contract; the Tournament Organizer (TO) is the person for that. In this game, if you want to keep with the spirit of it, the way to go about this is not to limit what people can take, but how they make up their army.

One hard and fast way to do this is to simply say each army must be comprised of one or more Battalions (depending on how big you want the games to be). One Battalion for smaller games, two Battalions for medium, and so on. These provide a fluffy and limited set of units that must be used, and in addition provide a nice benefit for playing true to the fluff. Will some armies be outnumbered/outclassed? Sure, possibly, but that's what the Sudden Death rules are for if you're outnumbered enough. As well, making the scenarios/victory conditions accessible to all of the Battalions makes it so anybody can win, regardless of opponent, something that TO's often neglected during the reign of WF. If Battalions are too much for a TO (and, according to the internet, they're all broxenhaxxOTTlame), then it's perfectly permissible to come up with their own, but the key is to not go too far with it. Thus far, the best sets I've seen say something along the following:

- Must be entirely made up from a single Grand Alliance or Faction
- Minimum [x] models, maximum [x] wounds
- May take [x] Warscrolls, of which [a/b/c] may have the [d/e/f] keyword
- No named models can be repeated

And that's all you need. Restricting to a single Faction keep it "pure book balanced", having a minimum model count means all armies will have a decent chunk of models, and since you have a wounds ceiling, that means you can't just take all monsters/high wound value models. As well, you can have a limit on how many warscrolls a person can take, ensuring that they don't just take MSU, but make the ones they do have bigger. The last is obvious, because there is only one Settra, and Settra rules!

* * * * *

Now on to the second part of this post: rules changes. A great many players have taken an issue with the fact that some rules combinations allow dice rolls to automatically pass. I see absolutely no issue with this, because it's such a rare thing to happen. The most glaring example is having an automatic save, because if you have a 3+ save and you're in Cover with Mystic Shield up, the roll will automatically pass...unless you have Rending. Now, it's important to note that having a 3+ save, with +2 to the roll, does not mean the model now has a 1+ save; they still have a 3+ save, it's just that it can't fail without any negative modifiers. Therefore I'll happily ignore any rules that say a model can't get better than a 2+ save, because that's not an in-game possibility in the first place.

In most armies, there are only a couple models with a base 3+ save (and they're single model units like characters), and in most armies nearly 2/3 of the available units have some sort of Rending to counter that. Thus, realistically it is unfair to the person using a 3+ save model to be punished for it, by saying you can only get a max +1 to the roll for such models, and/or saying 1's always fail. In most cases the models are named/unique, and so you won't see many of them. The only real exception is, oddly, Wood Elves, specifically the Sylvaneth Treemen. Even then, most rules packs restrict how many monsters you can take, making it a non-issue again.

Know what else is great for countering those rarely-seen automatic saves? Mortal wounds! Every army has more than a few ways to cause mortal wounds. Reward your cunning opponent's automatic save by not giving him one at all! The concept of 1's always failing is a relic from the past WF that should not be carried over to AoS, just because someone gets whiny about it. The whiner is the person who isn't putting a modicum of thought into realizing there are many, many ways to counter automatic saves, and they shouldn't be given a pedestal to shout from and direct the future flow of AoS in its infancy.

In even fewer cases, perhaps 1-2 units in the entire game, can get automatic hits/wounds, and if so, good on that person for finding such a combo! Do your best to weather it with combos of your own. The concept of the automatic dice roll is a basic premise of the game, because Battleshock also has automatic passes, depending on the Bravery value and the number of dudes lost. If a rules set says that 1's always fail for attacks, saves, charge rolls, and so on, they must likewise say that 6's always fail for Battleshock tests, resulting in a dead dude or whatever. The key is consistency.

Personally, I always think it's best to just play the rules as written, because then there aren't any bullshit house rules you have to learn on the fly for pickup games. "Oh we don't play that way, we do this instead" often turns into "Well that's stupid, so I'm not playing that way" and then the game goes swiftly downhill.

However, if a TO feels the absolute need to change core rules to suit their preferences, then they must be consistent about it instead of cherry-picking. Examples as above (and counters):

- No save better than a 2+ (Read the rules again champ, there's no such thing)
- 1's always fail (These means only some automatic passes can fail; it's better to make it so that all automatic passes fail, such as Battleshock and other rolls)

These are bad rules; poorly thought out and terribly written. At best, a kneejerk reaction to a game they don't understand and have never actually played. Instead, what about:

- No changes

Because when you actually start playing the game, using Battalions, being good opponents to each other, the game is really quite fun and balanced.

* * * * *

In conclusion, my word of advice is play it before you change it. I've played more than a few games and witnessed just as many, and in all cases it's been a fun and action packed game with the rules as is. We put together fun armies to throw down against, and perceived imbalances are compensated for by the rules. Automatically saving wounds is great and all when I'm fighting the one unit in that game that can't hurt me, but then I just get shot by a Rending weapon and I die, or I take oodles of mortal wounds and I die. Once you try it as intended by the rules as written, it becomes extremely undesirable to play by badly designed rules changes.

Colossal Squig and Giant Squig Painting

Colossal and Giant Squig Painting

 

Hello again and I just wanted to post a finished picture of my three squigs.  I primed these guys black and work up a basecoat with several layers.  First I do a heavy drybrush, Blood Red/Sandstone/desert yellow), then a Black Wash(secret weapon miniature but any black wash could work).  Next I do another heavy drybrush followed by a brown wash(maybe GW's Mud color or Agrax Earthshade).  I then do another drybrush of the same color.  After that I then highlight all the high spots with a solid color of the same tone.  After these layers I start doing 50/50 mixes with the basecoat and white or a off white color line bone white.  I followed all the same steps with teeth, and mushrooms.  Teeth starting with Kehmri brown, bleached bone and then skull white.  The mushrooms are coated with several layers, not highlighted and then just white dots added.  Pictures below.

Giant Squig 1 with Desert Yellow basecoat

Giant squig 2 with blood red base.

Colossal Squig in its glory

Orcs being eaten! Oh I see you there!

Some goblins added to the top.

Hump Day Heroes: 40K Kill Team League

This battle report was from my first game for the 40k Kill Team league that I am running at the Wandering Dragon.  My opponent for the game was Doug and his very cool space marine team.  The mission for the game was Forward Push from the Kill Team supplement.  For this mission, I had modified the objective rules so that each player placed one and the third was at the center of the board.

As you can see from the pictures, we set-up the board using a large number of LOS blocking terrain pieces.  I am a firm believer that Kill Teams is best when there is a lot of terrain on the board as it encourages movement and prevents static gunlines.  When it came to deployment, I won the roll, so deployed my forces across the board with a few models held back to infiltrate.

Genestealer Brood

10 Genestealers – 140 points

1 Broodlord – 60 points

Doug’s Space Marines

10 Tactical Squad w/ Heavy Bolter & Flamer

1 Attack Bike w/ multi-melta

I was not expecting Doug to seize, so when he did, I knew I was in trouble.  His attack bike and heavy bolter made quick work of my broodlord and one of his companion stealers.  In response, I tried to assault the bike with the remaining stealers nearby, but failed to wound it and in return got a stealer killed for the attempt.

In the second round, I moved the other larger group of stealers towards the center objective.  My hope was I could break off one or two models from the pack to deal with marines as needed.  Doug had range with his outflanking marines, so bolter fire quickly diminished the pack down to a couple of models. 

In the late turns, I tried to hide what I had remaining near two of the objectives, but the marines closed ranks.  In short order the last of my brood was killed at range with the exception of one stealer who got past a marine with a flamer before being brought down by a shot to the head. 

Overall it was a fun game that taught me a couple of good lessons about how to deploy my team going forward.  I should have kept all of them close together and just chained my assaults.  By spreading out, Doug was able to easily pick-off individual models before they could make it to assault.  I do debate whether or not I should include some type of shooting element to the list, but figure that would break from the narrative I am forging.

Collosal Squig and Giant Squig Modeling

Colossal and Giant Squig Tutorial

Purchased some squigs awhile ago, over 2 years ago, and finally started getting around back to them.  I just wanted to make a couple posts on here to any gamer out there.  First, after un-packaging your miniature clean your models.  I have here pictured several squigs made from finecast, but the same applies to any model(resin, rubber, finecrap).  I used soap and water and scrubbed each model for about 20 min each, let dry, and then assemble/green stuff. 

 Here I have pinned each large joint twice with 1/16 inch copper wire.  Then used copper wire for all add ons to the top of the squigs (horns and mushrooms).  Holes for the wire are drilled about 1/4 inch deep. 

The last picture here is before when all the horns and mushrooms were completed.  Typical 2 part green stuff was used for everything.  Bases are 40mm bases with 1/2" cork glued to the top.  all joints were glued with medium bond super glue and tightbond III was used for all basing material.

Hump Day Heroics - Battlefleet Gothic

My friend recently finished converting up some Dark Eldar ships for BFG, so we just had to play a game (I'll never complain about that!). Here's what we used:

Ultramarines

Battle Barge - Master of the Fleet

Strike Cruiser - extra shield

Strike Cruiser - extra shield

Strike Cruiser - extra shield

Strike Cruiser - extra shield

6 Gladius Frigates

2 Sword Frigates

Dark Eldar

2 Torture Cruisers - launch bays

15 Corsair Escorts - 5 w/ torpedoes, 5 w/ Impalers, 5 w/ lances

Deployment

Noticing an irregularity in the sensor returns, the canny Space Marine commander ordered Thunderhawks into the void as a picket line. 

The Dark Eldar closed quickly, eager to capture some prime space marine subjects for the haemonculus. Many of the Gladius frigates were left without crew as Impaler modules poured Dark Eldar warriors within. On the left flank, the Sword frigates bravely move to intercept the Corsairs, but despite bracing for impact they broke apart under the furious shadow lance fire. Having shown their true colors, the Thunderhawks engaged, and managed to find and destroy two Corsairs.

While they'd been dealt a hefty blow losing many of their fleet escorts, the bulk of the Space Marine fleet was untouched and angry. Turning into their enemy, they unleashed hell. Bombardment cannon and weapons batteries let fly, taking a terrible toll on the Dark Eldar fleet. Thunderhawks rearmed and soared once more into the fight.

Seeing their plans turn to ash, the spiteful Dark Eldar attempted to circle the fleet and take the commander as a slave. However, the durable shields and massed turret fire kept the Space Marines safe.

Arresting their momentum with retro thrusters, the Strike Cruisers kept hugged the stern quarters on the Torture cruisers, blasting one to pieces in a vengeful bombardment and damaging the other. With the Dark Eldar right where they wanted them, the port and starboard batteries thundered death into escorts and the remaining cruiser, destroying and crippling each.

The remaining Dark Eldar disengaged, tails between their legs.

Miniature Monday - 04/13/2015

Whoopsie, I almost forgot it was Miniature Monday! For this one, I have a pair that I painted together, and it was only fitting that I showed them both at the same time. I did some extensive observations at the local gym, so it was both a physical workout and a mental exercise that both benefited me. (nudge nudge wink wink)

Episode 45 - Khorne Daemonkin

The End Times may have come to a conclusion, but the rage of Khorne continues to spread across the mutliverse.  In this episode, Andrew and John share their first impressions of the new Khorne Daemonkin codex.  We discuss the new formations, the Blood Tithe and a few army ideas John has using the codex.  Before we get into the main topic, the guys talk about the End Times tournament at Adepticon, Andrew talks about his game with Andy Chambers, John plays with his nids, and we talk about our sponsors.  This episode also contains a bonus segment with John Ontto at Adepticon.
