I'm sad kolek has bitten the bullet.



This game is silly. You can't play it in a serious tone anymore. It truly is beer and pretzels.

Playing with sigvald require you to have a mirror and admire yourself as you roll. Wulfric needs you to insult your opponent.


Pure silliness.

But 5 year olds can't grow moustaches let alone impressive ones, haha

Oh come on. It's man dollies. Who doesn't act like a five-year old occasionally?

Great Book of Grudges: When Thorgrim
is set up, select an enemy unit on the
battlefield. You can re-roll any failed
wound rolls when a Dispossessed model
from your army targets that unit. In
addition, if you lose the battle, write down
the name of your opponent’s general. The
next time Thorgrim faces this general,
you can select an additional 3 enemy units
for this ability to apply to (one must be or
include the enemy general).

With that kind of attitude, I bet you get to re-roll 1s with all your Dwarf units.

Liquid Fortification: You can add 1 to
the Bravery of Josef Bugman and any
Dispossessed unit from your army
within 4" of him whilst you are holding
a drink.

Yeah there now seem to be lots of rules that 'require' you to shout something in some kind of tone.

Taking Settra gives you a command ability that tells you to hold out your hand and in a commanding (sorry, supremely commanding) tone say "War".


EDIT: ninja'd... twice!

All for ignoring these 'requirements' say "Aye"

EDIT2: Also kinda sad that the Heirotitan is gone. Dammit GW you only came up with that unit last book!
EDIT3: And goodbye every TK special character except Settra and Khalida... may you rest in eternal slumber.

You have to remember that the game is balanced around having fun in a beer and pretzels setting not in a tournament. Nothing stopping you from doing as you said and ignoring/autopassing these requirements. Tournaments will no doubt autopass these requirements to avoid arguments.

Beer and pretzel game indeed.

There's only one way to play this game, completely smashed.

and never in public.

Occasionally? Sure, once in a while, when I'm gaming with a few mates I know well, having a few beers.

Having to act like a child in every game I play, in front of random strangers at a club or store, in order to use the special rules of many of my units? No. That, to me, sounds like a profoundly socially uncomfortable experience, but I suppose GW cares even less for the money of people with ASDs than they do for the money of tournament gamers and people who like functional rules.

Is this real life or just fantasy?

Tbh im not the type of guy to be so 'open' with new people and since my friends dont play Warhammer, I might find it a bit 'cringey' shouting things to people I dont know well but itll make games at the store a little more interesting.

These fourth wall breaking rules are something I can get behind.

NOTE: The vast majority of these special rules are tied to special characters. If you don't want them in tournaments, just ban special characters. Though I do love the idea of gamers growing mustaches, buying bribe-muffins and installing tiny speakers into their Konrad models...

At this stage, the only thing I'm disappointed with is that Ogres don't get a buff while I'm eating.

My girlfriend is adamant that gw have made a joke , I want to believe her.

I officially won't hear another negative word about warscroll day.

Also, if Konrad does talk back to you...well....we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it.

Totally getting a small recording device for him.

That would be awesome.

The Sigmarites need to have an ability triggered by playing (and singing along to) MC Hammers Hammer Time

I wouldn't even be mad if you pre-recorded Konrad's voice to play back.
Just make sure you record it in your best crazed (Tran)Sylvanian accent

For the Skaven Screaming Bell,

skaven general).

(so all Skaven players need to pick up a couple of dice with a 7 on them...)

I recommend d12's. (13 comes up on 12/144 outcomes) for your best odds. After all, It says roll 2 dice, not 2 d6s

I am at a complete loss is this a joke of some kind this is not a game but I guess gw can turn round and finally shut every one up that says this or that cost to many points or some things unbalanced because there is nothing there at all pmsl

I am so completely confused how this mounts to a game yes if you seriously sit down and work it all out great but as far as I can see gone are the pick up games it doesn't make a whole lot of sense you can't say only aloud 10 scrolls because you can have 30 guys of what ever type you like in there.

They have left the players to create the balance them selves it seems like gw have just thrown the toys out the pram with a we are sick of hearing people bitch at us about balance here you go a game with zero balance or as much as each individual group thinks right how ? What the hell happened ? This is a huge f*ck you from gw to the gamers and am not sure if its to be taken in some sort of humour or its vindictive in some way.

I don't know if this is brilliant marketing buy what ever as much as you want and field 10 full units to your oppents 1 biggest pocket book wins lol.
Honestly unless we are all missing something or something else comes out age of sigma has just killed warhammer few months then production ends feckin hell honestly am still a bit shocked at all this and I don't think I am alone

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!: If you spill the blood of your opponent then you win the game automatically so long as you have at least one khorne model on the table.

Too much?

Somehow I imagine Konrad to sound like Willem Defoe...

Not enough - you have to also rip his head off then polish up the skull, Predator-style.

Bull0 I just yelped loudly in laughter, I know DEMAND that someone has a recorder for Konrad that spouts sassy comments about the past turn and your opponent.

We play with toy soldiers for fun... and for some of us, write rules about them to make a living. I write fiction, and thus make up stories in my head all day, and people pay me to share those with them.

Ultimately, not everything needs to be so deadly serious. There are plenty of games that cater to us all.

Right now, we have had a mournful, weird, sometimes draining emotional rollercoaster for the last few days... These funny rules are a summer rain, in equal measure annoying, and refreshing.

I'll take the moment to just smile. We earned it.

Definately Kings of war for me then.

So long whfb. It's been fun, but I prefer to make my own jokes thanks.

If you look up I explain my feelings on the matter, but on you go, much easier to believe that anyone who's troubled by this rubbish is a joyless monster than remember that not everyone in the world finds certain things as easy as you do.

So when is Spiral Arm Studios going to start work on a fantasy version of Maelstrom's Edge?

They dont call me the merciful one.

Besides, Konrad told me to do it.

This is getting wierd.

I'm very confused.

I posted at the same time as loads of over people.

Wow touchy much - kinda hard to disagree with your description of yourself after that post.............

Seriously mate - lots of us love this sort of thing - so maybe YOU should stop being so judgemental - maybe?
