Hahaha,so very nice! The Dust Tactics Revised Core Set Allies, ZZ. I really prefer the Axis side, but that is just me. Some of the Allies have pretty cool models, but I had a terrible, wonderful idea for painting up the zombies given my assumption the Waffen SS is responsible for them. I also like that the Allies have looks like a Metal Slug walker.

Regarding Dust Tactics, my buddy bought the core set and will sell me the Allies for $30 USD. Is that too much or is it a square deal? Also, Dust Warfare is the non-tile rules, yes?

Battletech maybe? Been a really longtime since I played that one. 40K is cool, but Games Workshop pisses me off with their price gouging.

Best military model/minis wargame?

Looks like Smoky the Bear put out the campfire this weekend.

Thanks, Fey. Seemed like a natural place to progress with a Bounty Hunter. Gotta settle those debts. But, for the time being I am still employed as your bodyguard.

Is the Reckoner a playable career in 3rd ed WHFRPG?

I will be attending my brother's wedding over a 4-day weekend in Nashville. My internet and sobriety may be sketchy.

Just down the road from me!

Do not take a ride in any thing painted red with checkerboard patterns.

Beware of any large blokes referring to his pals as Ladz.

I understand there is a strong Ork presence in London.

Too bad they don't have Field Wardens in this edition.

So stereotypical though....;)

Annoying, but easier, lol. I would love to see a halfling chef! What a great roleplaying op, though the Orks made a pretty good mess of them in Grudgebearer.....little psychos.

To get a feel for the minstrel I would say reading any of the Gotrek and Felix novels would be a good place to look.

My guess is socialize....and rock out on the lute!

A witch and a zealot, yikes!

Minstrel....sounds like Felix could make an appearance, lol.

Plague Bringer. Too true. But, my next character is almost certain to be the above.

Wait a minute.....I think you are trying to convince me they do not exist! When did they get to you, Fey? Here all this time I though you were a run of the mill cultist hiding a tail or tentacle and now it turns out that you have been a ratling pawn all along.;)

@Fey, But they have a Plague bearer archetype which is awesome,yet very Skaven.

Indeed.

So did Paizo intend on bringing Skaven to Golarion or is that just a myth? Sorry if this sounds like the rantings of a heretic.

hahaha, that is a very good sign. Yes, let's go that way for sure. We will provide help where they need it.

Yeah. I would says the first guy is probably the better choice at this point sine he has not only the rules, but also knowledge of Warhammer universe through the 2nd ed.

Character creation. Combat is pretty straight forward. Like Franz said, we will assist with everything else. But, character creation is a little wanky due mostly to the way FFG laid the book and it's poor excuse for an index.

Also worth noting is that the Warhammer world truly is "Grim and Perilous." Pathfinder and D&D are pretty Nerf sword when it comes to life and death of PCs, but Warhammer is far more gritty with the likelihood of getting whacked being fairly possible. That said, the real heroes of WHFRPG are normal everyday commoners,miners, and soldiers. Great setting for those who want a more epic feel and not really concerned with this feat or that.

Good news is the hard cover Player's Guide has many of the expansions covered where as the box set does not.

I cannot speak for how ZZ is wanting to replace our wayward priest, but we all randomly generated career and chose race. I like that option myself as it is very key to the Warhammer feel.

I would say the editions are very different. FFG went in a very unique direction here, but all in all the flavor is what really matters.

You will need access to a copy of the Player's Guide. I would not have made it without ordering mine.

The dice problem is something one of the other players solved with an external roller that you will copy and paste the results of in a spoiler. Link Dice Roller

I have truly enjoyed this game and it is about to really start moving now that the characters have gotten their feet wet. I would happily play a game of Monopoly PbP with ZZ running the thing so this is no fly by night operation. The discussion thread has become a place that operates more like an abstract Facebook than a place to just talk mechanics. So if you are looking for a great game and great people this is an excellent place to find them.

I like the new face of Tirion.

Hahaha. It helps.

Square.

Yeah,it was back a page. Happened right after we felled the minotaur and such.

Squichy Hummies a'ways gettin' all mashed up.

Z and Fey, does Rangnir have ability to add runes to items yet? My shield is Superior Quality and thought it would make a cool storyline bit when he does acquire the means to do so.

On a separate note, I am going to full on Ork battle buggie my '68 Falcon. It is going to a perfect candidate and cost less than to buy a GW mini,lol.

That is the officer talking,Stiehl. NCO has been devoured by the brief/debrief loving monster that is the Officer's corps, lmao. ;)

We smashed through the first module of our Warhammer playtest pretty fast. I think we have gotten the kinks mostly worked out and it is a pretty fun game, though the Warhammer world is the one I enjoy above most others. Nice that the fluff pretty well rolls along no matter who is making the mechanics.

Out in the American states of Colorado and Utah hippy dips are natural springs where stinky hippies go and bath together, often during camping trips. Terrible things, lol. And let's go with a beastman of Slaanesh combo of what you described, Shifty. Far more frightening than one or the other, lol.

Did everyone get mauled by bears on the way to the hippy dip?

Let's see if I can come up with something.

I just saw that FFG was handing the rights of Dust over to a New Zealand firm. Any word on how this is going to affect the prices of the models. Dust is pretty affordable, though some of the models are a bit more than I think is necessary like the planes. I would hate to see it jump up there with Warhammer anything.

Agreed. The first four years you feel like you made a good choice. The next 4 you are sure that the Lord of Change has taken hold and expect to see an eight pointed star on the bastard, lol.

Gimme a sling and bullets.

One more headbutt from that minotaur would have closed the coffin on Fernis and a grudge against the beastmen of the Reikland would been entered in the book of grudges. lol.

I swear that if my character is brought back I better have to roll to save versus polymorph so I don't end as a toad, lol.

Kill him. Otherwise we should only get Nerf swords and tickle feathers. I have no qualms about getting whacked in any game I play. People need to buck up a little. What is the worst thing that happens? He makes another character and his buddies don't go off using spells that have the potential to screw you without asking first.I bet he was loving the extra combat benefits till they turned on him, yeah? I mean, for Pete's sake it already takes several rounds to bleed out as it is. I miss lose your head crits. Now if you want a kinder,gentler monster that is your choice. But, as a player I want to face death as a very real possibility. Z almost whacked my Warhammer character, but I get the sense he held back a little....;), I would have not at all been upset as it is just good story telling. Especially in Warhammer.

Well that list must have ventured over to real life this morning and taken the form of my Fiskars axe. While honing a nice edge on that beast it bit a nice groove into two of my fingers, lol. Blood for the Blood God!

@ZZ, Try as you might,Fernis will not be joining the Slayer cult so easily. Rangnir Came into his own and that was a pretty epic battle between the bull man and dwarf. I thought I was going to bite it there for a sec, lol. Timely intervention by the crew and what not.

And with my meds leveled out my characters have lost their strong murderous a&#+~%~ streak, lol.

I say given the characters typical actions they could put a set of rolls to be used and an action in a spoiler to cover a missed day.

I am having a damned good time in the games I am in these days. I think I hit the right mix of characters and pace. I decided that my Warhammer dwarf has a past as a Blood Bowl player and not shield slamming is much more fun, lol.
