Zoom, sounds like fun. I have only tried the new rules once i would need a couple more training games. I will stop buy on Thursday and check it out. Never played Warmaster is it fun! I know some people down here that where playing it. My favorite game is Necro do you play that? i have about 15000pts in Chaos that needs paint, a piece a week i think i can do this. Jason i know playes Orks and Goes to school. I bought some of his Chaos Marines at the Au and i wanted him to paint more of them. If you know him the deal is Firm and i pay well.

ZQJ...That's cool. And Warmaster's awesome. It's almost on the scale of Epic 40K, but a wee bit bigger. They almost cut out all of the cheeze from Warhammer Fantasy -- no characters, no insane armor saves, and all the units and spells are pretty balanced. It all comes down to how well you can use your army.

But you just about go blind painting 4k points worth of Orcs. LOL.

Well Zoom, i can say its not hard to twist the arm of a fellow gammer. I went and bought the main book for warmaster. So what army do you suggest for a new player? I was thinking High elfs, or Dwarf. I did hear that the Dwarf army is a little broken though. what do you think?

The Elfs are good. They're right on the Dwarfs -- they don't seem to be as powerful as they should be. Most armies have a unit that's really powerful, and some cheap units you can screen them with. The Dwarfs are pretty standard all the way across, and the really GOOD units -- the Trollslayers -- you don't get points for them unless you can actually have them killed in battle, if I remember right. LOL.

That, and the Dwarfs don't have any cavalry units. plain

Sooo...may as well resurrect this poor thread.

Current happenings as I know them...

Every 3rd Friday at the Alternate Universe (AU) in P-town is POD RACING!!!! Sweet game if you've never played it. They guy that invented it has run games from Pueblo to even the cons in Denver, and even tried to get it licensed, but LFL said "no." Regardless, it's fun, and the last time I played, of the 14 people playing only 2 made it across the finish line ALIVE. LOL.

Every 2nd Friday at the AU is BattleTech!!! OLD SKOOL! None of the clickie-base crap! No explanations needed there.

Also, my buddy Alvin has invented this sweet super pulpy 1920s-era miniatures game that people started play-testing this week (I checked it out last night and it was pretty cool). It's sort of a Cthulhu/Sky Captain/Mobster game.

Personally, I would like to play some of Darth_Nast_T's vintage games...Car Wars, Traveler, etc. or maybe some of those Avalon Hill games we have stacked in the closet. I just don't want to have to spend a lot of $$ to play.
