Quote from: Crüesader;920735Nah, you said you used the ignore feature for the first time.

No I didn't. But it is rather rare.

QuoteAs if it were a crowning achievement that you couldn't handle your emotions.  It's okay, not everyone was taught life skills if they didn't have caring friends and family.  I'm impressed you've made it this far, keep it up.  Or don't, I don't really care.  Your existence isn't really worth much.

I'm sorry you weren't taught life skills and don't have a caring family. I hope the internet tough guy act does something for you to alleviate the pain of being a lonely, fat and sad adolescent pretending to be a soldier. But I'm afraid it doesn't elicit the emotional response from me you seem to be desperate for.

I'm sorry you have to repeat what someone else has said to assert yourself.  If you've nothing of value to contribute to the thread, go elsewhere.  This is a thread about games, not where you can voice your insecurities.

There are other places you can re-use your pal's comments to make yourself feel better, but trying to derail a thread and get it shut down is in poor form, even for the forum tumor.  Please contribute toward the topic at hand, or go elsewhere and play circle-jerk.

I am not derailing your 'contributions'.  Do not derail mine, please.  

Quote from: Sommerjon;920882Sorry kid, but you have exactly one person, besides you, even remotely interested in this discussion.

Actually, two people.  You certainly are challenged.  But I'm sorry, I didn't specifically make this thread to appeal to you.  If you weren't interested in it, you certainly took time out of your day to make a comment on it.  If you've nothing of value to contribute to the thread, go elsewhere.

Didn't they have Arbites back then?  I'd love to run a squad of Not-Judge-Dredds.  

But I can kinda help you scratch that itch:

This forum post has a bit of things that might interest you: https://yaktribe.org/community/threads/alternative-necromunda-miniature-sources-image-heavy.15/

Right now the best you can do that is close to Necromunda is Kill-Team.   And I don't know much about Necrumunda- it was around back when I had an interest the first time, but it kind of went away before I had a chance to look into it.  Mordheim had my attention as well.

I can absolutely without hesitation recommend hunting down the original Necromunda and Mordheim books...or I'm sure they're somewhere online.

Both are akin to the Kill Team concept. 10-15 models per side, but your units gain XP, increase as RPG style PCs, can do an ongoing campaign, etc.

Beyond the core books, there were plenty of semi-official supplements too.

I was always surprised GW didn't repackage them both as boardgames.

Necromunda: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ss36uv41kyh1acq/sKzljZ_EoU

Supposedly, the Heralds of Ruin Kill-Team took a bit of inspiration from the two games.  What I've read speaks highly of it, over the standard GW Kill-Team.

Way ahead of you, but thanks for the recommendation anyway. I've played a dozen times with their rules update/compilation and it's awesome.

I just want some sweet new ganger minis maaaan...

Well, with any luck Kill-Team will show them there's an appreciation for small-scale battles.

I like the idea of using the models I have from the Space Marines vs Orks boxed set and the Kill Team rules, but I have no interest in the Tau models.  So I'm in wait and see mode for now.

Count again.  Spinachcat and AaronBrown99.  And it seems like you do care,  the only posts you've made on this site for the last week have been in my thread.  Did you have something to contribute to the discussion, or do you just need attention?

I'd say see if you can get your hands on that rulebook.  Or if you really want those Space Marines, see if you can find someone who wants the filthy xenos.

This.  So very much this.  This would nicely resolve a number of issues we have with scheduling and compatibility, but I've seen very few skirmish games that do this and don't require you to buy overpriced specific minis, which is a dealbreaker.  Is it possible to run Necromunda/Mordheim with generic minis?  Like, if you don't much care about tournament legal?

D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

I think an Empire militia box gives you a perfect Mordheim gang, as far as I remember.

Tau will sell fast on eBay if you price it reasonably with shipping. Advertise your sale on DakkaDakka or somewhere else too.

It's funny but the Orks vs. Marines in the box set would be PERFECT for the basic scenario from the original Rogue Trader. Back when we started playing 40k with RT, we rarely had more than two squads on the field for most of our games.  Fantasy was where we had the gazillion figs, but 40k was much more about the Kill Teams unless you wanted to do big ass mega-point multiplayer battles.

But then GW realized they could sell lots more plastic...

Since Necromunda and Mordheim are "dead" games, you don't have to give a damn about tourneys. Some FLGS have "dead" game unofficial events, but no different than if you were setting up a AD&D 2e campaign.

It is EXTREMELY easy to run both games with generic minis. Check Cruesader's links upthread to see some cool 3rd party figs.  Also, as Mordheim = Warhammer = D&D, you can pretty much use most of your D&D figs if you wanted to use pre-painted plastic figs. Hell, you could even use Mage Knight figs. Or Lego dudes!

BTW, I've introduced kids to wargaming with green vs. grey plastic army men. They freaking love it.


Quote from: AaronBrown99;921101I think an Empire militia box gives you a perfect Mordheim gang, as far as I remember.

Agreed. That would do the job just fine. No reason to buy the rare shit unless you want to, or if you get a great deal.

BTW, here is PAINTED Mordheim Witchhunter Warband - 9 figs - for $35 + $5 shipping.
