I'm not likely ever to actually play it again, but the nostalgia hit alone would be nice :D

I think its worth noting that Mantic are really pushing hard to take those WFB players GW just kicked in the teeth.   ;D

Given that Mantic is basically run by the people who used to make GW a success, this makes me laugh.   :D
Now all they need to do is knock up some 10mm rules, using 20x40mm bases, bash out some 10mm miniatures and call it Masters of War...  ;D ;D ;D

Drop that in their suggestion box!

Although I'm not a fan of KoW from reading I gather it plays well - doesn't look  my sort of thing but I'd give it a bash!

Watched a game last night.

One player quite liked it. 

The other player was going purple with rage.

My view?

Well...it does rather make me want to check out Mantic's Kings of War.  I have a Dark Elf army still on the sprues that I've been looking to do something with...I was waiting for Dan Mersey's Dragons Rampant to use them though...

Kings of War is a great game, get those Dark Elves made and painted Luddite and give it a go. I suspect that Dragon Rampant will be very good as well.

Was in GW yesterday to pick up some metallic paints, and there was a massive poster advertising Warhammer - Age of Sigmar, so it looks like the name Warhammer will continue to function. Didn't notice the figures as I'm not interested in their offerings. I suspect they may have another big competitor in Frostgrave, or whatever it's called. My only desire for Fantasy is a bit GOT, i.e. 10mm condottieri armies with some da Vinci machines thrown in and a dragon.

Hi

Has anybody seen the YouTube video taken from 'Downfall' but with subtitles added on the reaction to the change from Fantasy Battles to Age of Sigmar?

Don't usually like films about Hitler or the Third Reich but I found this parody funny.

Not quite as good, in my entirely biased opinion, as the Edinburgh Trams one but certainly good enough that I pinched the link and posted it on Facebook :)

Thank you!

Yeah, that's one of better Downfall parodies, I thought. Esp. as I watched the "Hitler loses all his Battlemechs and decides to take up Warhammer" one just after :D

Also, GW have SPACEY FANTASY MARAAAAAAIIIINE -



Mantic have FISTY GLUE MAAAAAAAAAAN -



But in the grim steam train wars of SODOR, there is only ETERNAL TRAINS. And running them is... RAINY MAN!
