Sent you an email... Basically Daytime is a NO NO for all of us as we have work. Wednesday's I'm free each week, Dayle has commitments every other Wednesday, Mondays, I have commitments every other week, and Tuesday's every week. Not sure about Grizzle, will have to ask him but know that he does Col...

Any specific evenings you had in mind?

I'll check with the others, as I know we have some other commitments during the week evenings, but I'm pretty certain we could mash something together.

Brightblade

Rob, any specific evenings you had in mind? Would Sunday's be any good?

Myself, Dayle and Grizzle are roughly just over an hour and 15 away from the Mierce office in Mansfield.

I'll admit guys, I haven't listened to any of these, They all sound really interesting, but I'm very much a Visuals person so I couldn't sit through 90 / 120 minutes of just talking without having any visuals to relate to..

Any plans to have visuals on future sessions?

Brightblade

Thanks be to Icchan for this little gem... Page 289: 6.56.6 EMERGING IN THE OPEN Replace the bullet point with Enemies: each Emerger is no closer than 15" to any enemy warrior or at least 1" further than twice their PACE (or 1" further than their FLIGHT) from any enemy warrior, which...

I believe in the Muster Rules that the General and Commanders Ubiqity is not counted when they are mustering units within their command.

Brightblade

The new Sronax muster doesn't look correct. On the old Muster the Brutal Club M+W was 74, and Horn Gore was 68, a respective Weapon + of 18 and 12. On the new Muster Brutal Club is 72 and Horn Gore is 56, but it also has a respective Weapon + value of 18 and 12, so shouldn't the Horn Gore be 66, no...

Rob, When Parrying an attack and a roll of 9 is not a required Parry roll, are any zero's classed as automatic hits even if there are dice rolls of 9's present? I'm not quite sure what you're asking me to be honest - see p202, "Minimum and Maximum Parry Values" - 0s are always a failure r...

Brightblade

The Reiver Hunters seem to have considerably less armoured too, don't know if that is intentional or a mistake.

Looking through the Fomoraic Muster, think there is something seriously wrong with the Sronax unit.. Previous Muster Brutal Club and Horn Gore had a Might + Weapon respectively of 74, 68 and for the latter with M+W+Ch of 92 On new Muster it is, 17, 1 and 1... !!!! Also on Previous Scavenged Armour w...

Brightblade

Rob, Any chance on the new Musters you could highlight changes to the previous version? Saves on having to print the entire Muster out and laminating them all again, I have three Kindreds, plus my playing partner's Norse and Byzantie, that's 5 musters to print out and laminate when I'm sure that not...

Brightblade

In the same way that a value of 9 is needed to Hit thus negating the extra attack die if a 9 is rolled.

Does a character with Quick Strike lose their extra die on rolling an 8 if 8 is the value required to Hit?

Brightblade

I fared better, second time around against the Frenzied units.. Kept my distance and pounding them with Ranged weapons, killed quite a few, still lost but mainly through making bad desicions rather than unit inferiority, the final straw that sealed my demise was when my Scion of Baalor blew himself ...

Brightblade

I really do like these sculpts of the Lizard Savra warriors with Swords and Javlins, and I would love to buy them, I don't like the rest of the Kthones though so building a Muster of just Savra units would be very limited...

Is there plans for any more Savra units in the future?

Brightblade

Thanks Rob, that's great Insight...

I just need to re-wire my brain now rather than just Attack.. Attack.. Attack.. lol

Brightblade

You're the only person who's ever said (to me, or to my knowledge) that frenzied units are too powerful; almost everybody else I speak to won't use them because they know they can't control them fully. That's where I'm coming from really - one person having a problem with something is very differen...

Brightblade

May I just remind you all that Darklands is meant to be brutal... Cheers Rob Brutal, agree, but also needs to be fair... otherwise players will get bored of opponents fielding units they have no hope of beating.. Shouldn't base it on one game I know, and as you have said youv'e play tested frenzied...

Brightblade

Dayle will be using my Fomoraic kindred to take you on, I was very surprised when he showed me his Muster...

It will definitely be a challenge against your frenzied abhorrents and brutes..

Brightblade

Any way my co-player says he has a cunning plan for our next battle with Grizzles Ysians, my co-player is an experienced war gamer, so if with his cunning plan he still can't beat them then perhaps they are invincible...

Brightblade

I'm not saying that all frenzied units are imbalanced, it just seemed in the last game that the abhorrents seemed to be imbalanced, with high skill, what seemed like a crazy amount of attack dice and the quick strike rule, that combined with them never getting weary made then nigh on invincible... I...

Brightblade

Hey Rob, I asked this in a different thread but to clarify : Do frenzied units, upon becoming victorious and Triumphant as an attack reaction (as opposed to being the attacker) get to perform a linked breakthrough so as to get them towards either an existing enemy unit they are now unengaged by, or...

Brightblade

I did write a really long piece about how I believed that Fenzied units were so imbalanced because in my latest game a unit of abhorrent wiped the floor with over 900 points of Fomoraic units.. But then deleted it all as I decided that this game had driven me to throw my toys out of the pram... as s...

Brightblade

So to be sure that I am playing correctly, I may not be of course, a Unit can only perform a Breakthrough action if they have completely destroyed the unit they charged into, if at least 1 member of the unit remains the breakthrough action cannot be performed.

Is this correct?

Brightblade

Nope... Cheers Rob Surely physical exhuastion would play a part, at some point whilst the mind would be willing the physical limitaions of the body would give way... And if not, then there is a possibility that if the circumstances were right a single frenzied unit of worth could take down an entir...

Brightblade

If the weather is Thunder and a Unit has activated and attacks and rolled for Lightening damage, if that unit then performs a Breakthrough linked action does the unit need to re-roll for Lightening or this only on the first activation of the unit?

Brightblade

Is there a limit to a number of times in a single activation that a Frenzied Unit can perform a Breakthrough Action and Attack Action as they do not get weary? I imagine at some point that they would or should become exhausted and their physical bodies would prevent further Breakthrough actions and ...

Brightblade

Many thanks, guys. A little suggestion: would be very interesting to have a sort of game analysis, maybe based on a short battle report posted on the forum, and a discussion on who did what and what for, and were there tactical mistakes and what were the good moves, etc... Even better would be a Vi...

Brightblade

Just spotted that the fanaberend sheet states something strange about command range tripled of 18, with an authority of 21 Yeah that doesn't make sense, if you tripled 21 youll get 63, so command range of 6 inches, no where near the limit of 18 inches, so is there perhaps a dice roll missing from t...

Brightblade

BUMP... Just adding to this thread with my experience I am gaining through playing the game.. In my latest game against a Ysian force, I had two units of 7 Werwulfs on 40mm bases who Indirect Enagaged a Hammer Druc on a 100mm base... Firstly the Werwulfs Indirect Engaged being Wild and on Move Order...

Brightblade

UPDATE:

Now on Page 158 out of 365 with over 1600 entries...

It's getting there...

Brightblade

Thanks Rob, that's very interesting...

Brightblade

So Question... 1) A unit activates and attacks with all its attacks and becomes weary, (exception is frenzied), it is then attacked by another Unit, can it Attack React back with all it's attacks or just it's Primary Attack? 2) A Unit that has not been activated yet, and is Lively, is attacked, it R...

Brightblade

That has answered a few questions, but I would imagine that you need to keep Frenzied Units seperate from friendly none Frenzied units unless they stand the risk of attacking both friend and enemy.. I was very impressed with my Freawulf's five 40mm characters taking down your 100mm Abhorrant in two ...

Brightblade

Yeah a week for a battle may be a step too far...
If you could set up a gaming table and play a battle hour a night over week that would work but who has the room to leave gaming table up without it being disturbed...

I probably have enough Fomoraic Models to go well over 5000 Gold, but doubt It would be withing the Muster Ubiquity Rules....

BUMP...

Bringing this thread back to life..

Can only one attempt at Retaining the Iniative be made by each player during a game? Or something else....

Brightblade

Any reason why all the Howl functions have been removed from the Anglecynn Wulf variant musters?

Up until now, I had been mustering using 1, not 2.

Helps me to field stronger armies..

Bump...

We've been playing this wrong..

We have performed separate attacks and deducting damage after each attack, potentially making the next attack weapon harder to parry....

Brightblade

Rob, Just some food for thought, but do you currently sell any Money Back Gift vouchers? Perhaps, it's something you could start up, if people have Birthday's coming up and they want to invest in some mini's friends/relatives..etc could buy Money Back vouchers or donate directly to somebodies Money ...

Brightblade

In the latest Muster Rules, this paragraph has confused me a little... 1 · 1 · 4 · 1 · 2 BOUND UNITS The AUTHORITY of a Bound unit for mustering purposes is always that of the Bound unit's leader and is not the sum of the Binding unit and Bind unit's AUTHORITY. Does this mean for example... Fielding...

I agree with Geoff and with Grizzle, on everything but the PDF.. The structure of the Rule Book isn't great, when myself and Grizzle were playing on Sunday we spent at least 10 minutes trying to find if Bulk Charging would allow the Charger to Carry On with his Charge once his Bulk Charge Dice rolls...
