9th Age Discussion of OpenHammer (ETC) and Ninth Age (Swedish Comp)

It used to be randomized back in 7th edition I believe.

1-4 hitting the monster
5-6 hitting the rider

 

The carno cowboy is far more effective; the only question is that is he a little too effective.

 

Of course most of our stuff lies in the future, mayhaps the far future even, like hover boards and Jaws 6 in 3D.
I'm still very eager to see what they come up with, their changes to us has just been slightly dull. Not necessarily bad, it's just not really something that would lure me in from the street, I'm just saying

Someone should seriously playtest the new changes so far from our perspective. Maybe we could understand a little more, about what is change in the game mechanic once the dice are rolling.

 

Well this might be a good change and all, but I feel that it is kind of silly in a way, I mean, just look at the models and ask yourself: Is that Dragon bigger than the Carnosaur? I can answer that question for you: NO!, so why is the Carnosaur less of a monster than a Dragon? That I do not understand at all.

Again it might be a good rule, but I cannot fully accept it.

 

Personnaly I think that ppl should calm down a bit over nerfs and buffs. Even if LM gets nerfed in general, if other factions that were stronger got nerfed harder....
What I mean is, I don't care about nerfs too much aslong as when we playtest this thing or rather the end resulr is that we have a far more balanced game and all factions can win from eachother unlike now where alot of games are going to be pretty one sided before even putting the army lists together (manner of speaking). And ofcourse the magic that needed to be adjusted wich it looks like they did a pretty decent job of ( but playtesting will show us if it is enough). Also cannons vs monsters was one of the very big points and it will be adressed probably. And lastsly at the top of my head deathstars wich have been adjusted for a good part.
So the balance of the game and the big OP stuff that ruins the game have to be adjusted and they are doing exactly that.

 

That is true, we are hopefully aiming for a better balanced game. So far we have just been slightly more hurt, than others, depending on how you view things.
The problem is that without something exciting to lure people in, like interesting new ways of exploiting previously unused units. You won't see the community for this game grow.

Balance is one thing, but some people just like an excuse to play with their cool dolls

 

Off topic here and I'm not going to make this about MC for LM, but have these guys mentioned anything about getting in contact with a miniture making company? So if there were new models they would add, they could be bought somewheres?

 

True. It's simply easier to be concerned and thinking the worse, when reading through the current changes. I guess because, in my mind, I expect something different then what, is revealing itself now.

I haven't seen the books yet, they are not done with even the core rules and nothing is said in stone.

 

I think they will be wise not to make direct approaches like that.
It would give GW a hefty foundation for filing for IP-Theft (I think)
"You are taking our product and making it about selling miniatures"

I am actually 3D sculping a little something something that is intended for Lizardry MC

 

Uhh... exciting

 

Can't wait to see m

 

I feel the same way. It looks like their distinctions are pretty arbitrary. I would have preferred a more uniform approach.

 

Another sculptor in our midst... looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Any idea on when it might be ready?

 

Just started out, but caught on quite quick.
I modeled the front of the beast so far, and having problems with the anatomy of its behind legs and conjunction between upper and lower body...but its getting there!

ITS COMING!

(Work in progress)

 

How long have you been at it? It looks both complex and amazing.

 

Thanks alot! hope you maintain that thought when you see the whole thing!
I think im 2-3 weeks in, with about 1-2 hours every two days

 

How long have you been practicing digital sculpting to become that proficient?

 

less than a month, across a couple of 3d programs
