Got hooked on Gloomhaven again now that I unlocked a new class. Looks like we are half way through the main story line. Looking forward to see the story evolve!

How did it go Dustin…do you like WWX???

@Universal Head So…the Batman Season 2 KS is running and I am thinking about it. Maybe you can help me shed some light on what (if at all) expansions do make sense. Is versus mode needed for replay value? What do the others bring to the table to pay extra? What do you see as most interesting in Season 2 with your “knowledge”. And could you compare Conan and Batman. Thanks in advance!

Ah..now I understand what you meant. But here is something I am a bit confused. GW said that the paint is covering like a base color but also flows like an ink…creating shadows in the recesses AND highlight on the edges. That would be 3 steps in one and a substantial difference. Yet they only advertise the wash effect. I do not get that at all.

I also see your point that you need to be neater with the runny paint. That is something that especially beginners would struggle with I assume. Maybe if you go from lighter to darker color the covering is still good enough to not matter. They also have the undercoat color in pods to correct mistakes…but that would be a bit counterproductive to the speed aspect.

I am also not really convinced that contrast is as “revolutionary” as GW advertised…but I find it quite interesting to see what this will bring to the hobby.

I do not think that it is aiming at “better”. It looks like it aims at “faster” then base coat+wash. I will wait for some more vids like these:

From 2:52 he paints a Space Marine in different methods…I find the pics and his thoughts interesting.

You are right…some of the figures don´t look impressiv. But it might depend on who uses them.

At 0:45 Duncan shows a really great looking Chaos Marine entirely painted with Contrast paints…and it looks great.
Just how much can a noob do with those paints…that will be interesting to see.

Like the backround of Warmahordes and the factions are nearly all cool. I was ready to get into it with the 3rd Ed. My hope was that they get rid of the repeating poses with plastic. They did not 🙁 I am one of those that ultimately did not go for it because of repeating sculpts for quite a high price. Too many alternatives that give you unique poses with all the minis for a better price…so money went elsewhere. There is hope for the next Edition 🙂

[SoulsorcererParticipant]

Great minis…solid rules…scales great…fun to play…like it a lot 🙂

[SoulsorcererParticipant]

Bought Fallout: Wasteland Warfare from Mödipheus and played it co-op with a friend. Interesting AI mechanic…nice models…and great theme. We had a lot of fun and will play it again soon 🙂

[SoulsorcererParticipant]

New factions announced: Clone Troopers and Federation Droids. With the “old” factions getting some new vehicles soon Legion as grown considerably in just one year. Future looks bright!

[SoulsorcererParticipant]

So…looks like CMON is shifting distribution to Asmodee…and they do not want to carry DA and WoK. So it looks like they are dead for now. Hope that some other company will pick up those great IP´s

[SoulsorcererParticipant]

Waste Knights…the game you posted and backed yourself?!? 🙂

It´s an asymmetrical game about taking down the followers of the downed moon that had a dragon trapped inside. That incident altered the world radically and the resulting surviving factions are crazy cool…you have to look it up on KS…it looks like a great game.
