Maybe they'll do an expansion for specifically Necromunda gangers but it doesn't have the gateway into 40k that SW does which I think is why they put existing 40k factions into SW. Here's hoping - I'd love to see what their new take on Goliaths or Escher would be!Littleleadpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732389193700798794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-55530954854287767272017-05-30T15:37:07.972+01:002017-05-30T15:37:07.972+01:00I played Blood Bowl now and again before GW releas...I played Blood Bowl now and again before GW released it but only upon the it's rerelease did I see a wave of new local players which has cultivated my liking of this game into a full time addiction. AoS is fun as a casual game but it's unlikely it will become my go-to game and I've purchased Silver Tower for the miniatures as well having my sights on the Shadow Wars and AoS skirmish game. In truth there's little new about GW's recent releases that has me engaged but it's more a case of rediscovering what I did love about GW and having more players to enjoy this with.

They've been going in a decent direction for the last few years, and although I'm not overly fond of the direction AoS has taken my beloved Old World, I'll be picking up a copy of the Skirmish rules, and also SW:A when I can afford it. <br /><br />Still waiting for reworked versions of Necromunda and Mordheim though.Evo Von Himmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000084652555272890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-77257636462744331962017-05-28T18:19:06.769+01:002017-05-28T18:19:06.769+01:00Gosh!

One of things I really liked about AoS was that all of the rules for a unit and their gear were on the data sheet and that carries over into 40k... no more having to look up the exact wording for fleet or relentless or whatever - the rules for your terminators will be on their sheet.<br /><br />The sense of humor I used to love about GW has also returned, at least in many of their videos and other online offerings.<br /><br />Anyway, yeah, I like almost everything I've seen about the new rules and hey, the core rules are free. For those of used to making due With houseruled or homebrewed sets for Rogue Trader games, the streamlined core might be a great vehicle for Oldhammer 40k games...quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-51128305107446501762017-05-25T17:26:44.715+01:002017-05-25T17:26:44.715+01:00I'm very much in two minds about this.

While I like the sound of a lot of rule changes I've heard about, until I hear that the new 40k has balanced army lists, and is something other than bigmarines hitting one another, I'm reserving judgment.<br /><br />But yes, GW has improved greatly over the last year or two.

I don't feel the need to buy a new variant of an older game. RT, ROC, WFB and all the other older releases have got so much to explore that I'll not only be playing them, but trying to get through my backlog of minis from that time as well!<br /><br />Newer games just don't appeal to me anymore, unless they're radically different from their predecessor.

The new 8th Edition 40k looks interesting, and I really like Kharadron Overlords, a project I will definitely be tackling. <br />Still, I have been focusing on 'Oldhammer' things, but it is'nt easy! ;) Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-87189095473316686732017-05-25T12:07:17.525+01:002017-05-25T12:07:17.525+01:00necromunda is coming....
