My LGS has a small scene, but it's mostly KT and Blood Bowl, and Necromunda is the game for me. As such, me and my campaign group mostly play at one dude's house, said dude being the one with three 3D printers and enough free time to churn out painted terrain more or less continually.

Sometimes I'll play at my local GW, but these days I mostly play at my friends place or at the university wargaming club. Pre-coof the GW near me had a much larger active playerbase of specialist gamers and I was playing there a lot more often. Back then the redshirt there was very enthusiastic about organizing leagues and campaigns. I still have my KT dice bag and 2nd-place metal from their KT18 league, those were good times.
You'd think they'd want people playing in-store to show off to new customers that there's an active community to play with but they just don't seem to encourage in store play as much these days, the GW in town actually moved into a more spacious location last year but their table space for playing got cut in half and they replaced the sweet realm of battle boards they had with cardboard mats.

Is it just me or are Dire Wolves (Mordheim) awful? They're very expensive for a dog that can't run. Although they do have a really long charge distance, that doesn't matter so much because charging ahead of your warband is bad strategy, it doesn't have the initiative for around the corner charges, and if it doesn't win its fight on the charge it's probably going to lose over the course of the next couple of rounds.If it were cheaper maybe it'd be a good pick, but when it has to compete with Ghouls? Who are cheaper, have T4 and two attacks out of the gate, and can still run/charge 8 inches? I can never justify getting them for my warband. Especially when Dregs are already your designated "stay out of real fights, do the objective" guys and I can drop the same amount of money (actually, slightly less) on three zombies if I just need more bodies.

I'm a kill team player that's looking to get into warcy with some slaneshi daemons and mantic abysal dwarves that I'll run as Helsmiths of Hashut when their rules drop (I'll base them accordingly)I've read through warcrier but was wondering if anyone had any resources that showcase what an ideal terrain setup looks like. I have a bunch of GW 40k terrain pieces for kt and I'd like to scratch-build everything I'd need for warcry as a project. How important are large line of sight pieces and vantage points for warcy?

I hear they got nerfed pretty badly compared to legacy rules. But how fun are they? We're going to run a B-tier team league with stuff like Black Orcs and Nurgle, so I was thinking Chorfs would fit there perfectly?

Warcry's lead designer dropped some insight into the game and its development on his new youtube channel. There are some fascinating stuff in there for those interested (i.e., the game originally used varying dice for combat rolls based on models WS).

There's something that's been bugging me about Duel Rolls in mesbg.>DUEL ROLL
>To see who wins a Fight, you must make a Duel roll. To make a Duel roll, each player rolls a D6 and the player with the highest result wins.
This means 1 in 6 times your fight value determines the outcome of the fight otherwise it's a flip of the coin who wins.If you add more dice to the pool like you do with multiple attacks only the highest roll in the pool matters.>MULTIPLE ATTACKS
>Many models have more than one Attack listed on their profiles. When a model such as this is involved in a Fight, simply roll a D6 for each of the model’s Attacks when making the Duel roll, and use the result of the highest dice when checking to see who has won the Fight.So Player A has 2d6 and Player B has 1d6. A is 60% likely to win, 30% likely to lose with a 10% chance of a draw. So the fight value is less likely to be used here.If you break down the math behind that it seems like having more attacks is more powerful than the fight value. To be fair, the more dice you throw the more likely you are to use the fight value, since people are more likely to roll sixes, but that still seems counterintuitive. The first assumption would be that the fight value reflects the quality of the fighter (the section explaining characteristics says this outright), but you rely on the number dice more often to win fights.This is just an observation, but it struck me as an odd quirk that does not really align with expectations set by the rulebooks own words towards the mechanical value/function just reading the statlines of a profile. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but it seems like the Fight value is not nearly as relevant as it should be.

James Wokeslop says that it's "unlikely" for my Lothlorien elves to fight a big hobbit horde, but have they never considered that beating up Hobbits would be fun and that the elves might like to give it a shot before they leave forever. This is a joke btw, beating up people smaller than you is bullying and it's not fun. Also Galadriel wouldn't want to hurt a bunch of cute little hobbits.

I make too many Necromunda gangs.Right now for no reason I'm building Krieg kits with mostly Necromunda-centric equipment loadouts. I already have Cadians, Brood Brothers, Kasrkin, Traitor Guardsmen and Helots built in ways that they work as Venator or proxy gangs. I also have every other name brand gang.
