Anyone play warmaster out there???
-
Not me, why don't you look for a warmaster forum or something?
-
hmm heard of it but never played it... i dont think i ever while is it the one with the small models? this is my 100th post YAY

Yeah, it's like Epic Fantasy Battle. One of my friends has a fairly sizable Empire army. Probably in a year or two I'll pick up Warmaster, 'cause it does look like a lot of fun. HIgh Elves maybe.

isn't it cheaper to play then 40k
-
Much, a good solid unit of Empire spearmen is something rediculous like $12.00 CAN. What is that, like three scorpions? $100 buys you a very nice and balanced army. Almost doesn't compare to 40k in the price department.

I play warmaster... undead. Actually, as I've only played one game, I should probably say, "I have warmaster..." The problem is that only one other person I know does, and I never have time for a match against him.
Oh, and the first game turned out so piteously bad for him that I think he's a little reluctant for a rematch. It's not that I was so very good at it, I guess... luck was with me, or something. Or maybe I am good at it. :P
I.

I wish someone played Epic 40k around here. Thats a game I can actually afford. You can't beat $2 a falcon.
-
Did you get Jervis Johnson's latest newsletter? It sounds like he's going to give Epic a bit of a spit-shine and back into production. I wouldn't mind that one bit.

I bought the last edition and it sucked, LOL>
I have an ork army, sorry, guys, I traded my eldar stuff off, :)

I've played Warmaster once and Epic 40K several times. My main beef is that if the normal rules (Fantasy and 40K that is) are good, they should easily convert to a large scale battle. I don't like the fact that you have to use completely new numbers and rules to play on a grand scale. The only change should be the scale of the miniatures and the scale of the stats (in one fashion or another). I think this would greatly improve the popularity of the Epic scale games - if you play 40K and the rules for Epic are the same, just on a bigger scale, you're more likely to try it out.
Interestingly enough, most historical wargames do exactly what I think GW needs to do with their games - minor adjustment for scale is the only thing to tackle whether its the kitchen table or a football field.
