Warhammer Historical, Man O' War, Warmaster, Epic, BFG...

Post by mahon »

Oh my... I should be doing other things rather than thinking about what cool games could be played.

I wanna return to Man O' War - I played several small games, but it's a great beer & pretzels game... Easy but really fun to play!

I wanna play more Battlefleet Gothic - I loved this game when I played it... I wanna play it again, especially that I will soon have my own gaming table :D It has something great about it!

Warmaster and Epic Armageddon will do even if I use paper markers/chits to represent troops. I like the rules, and as for Warmaster I think the rules represent battles in the World of Warhammer than WFB. I don't care about the minis as much aso fr the games themselves...

As for Warhammer Historical I would be interested in the Roman or Medieval settings. I think the rules use the best of Warhammer, and correct the weaker points. I think plastic 1:72 minis will allow to create cool and cheap large armies easily.

If anybody would like to talk about these games - I would be happy, as I am pretty enthusiastic about these games now :)

And let's not forget Necromunda and Mordheim - both great games! :D

Man O War and Mordheim I also like to play, at least I have figures for these :).
There is a Man O' War topic already, I opened it once :) I was actually thinking lately to paint my Man O' War minis up completely.

nope, Demi - just imagine the big ships in Star Wars clashing against each other.

It's one of the coolest games - it requires some planning ahead because of the ships' big inertion (especially the big ones) - they need much space for turning and you are in constant move... they're drifting across the space...

wow, really a cool game!

hmmm... I thought a bit about gothic and man'o'war and I realised it must be really cool game! I mean I imagined ultra-heavy weapon systems, explosions in the cosmic space, no-air deadly enviroment, collisions with stardust... :roll:
very seductive... :twisted:

Man o' War: definitly want to play that one again! If my cashflow comes back I'll look into buying a new fleet!

Battlefleet Gothic: Played it once or twice and wouldn't mind playing it again! I'll see if my brother is up for a game...

Warmaster: Never played it but it looks like fun...

Mordheim: Working on something for that! ;)

Necromunda: Played it to death, fun game and I believe the rules have been easened a bit...

And ofcourse Blood Bowl, still my favourite! :D

It's very easy to make an Orc team out of Fantasy and 40.000 mini's! They'll look better too then the Orc Blood Bowl team from GW!
