/tg/ - Traditional Games

I haven't played but I have a fuckton of warhams.

So, lorefag here.

Oh my god what is this

I play, though only half of my army is actual miniatures. Depending on how easily I can find other players when I move, I may start using VASSAL to play more.

An mmo that became a cartoon done in flash that became an mmo that became a cartoon done in flash that became a comic series that became a board game.

I used to play, but then AoS and the latest CSM and Ork dexes happened. Now I just paint and play the odd game with someone elses' armies.

I played Wh40K back in 3rd edition and War machine between its release and shortly after Hordes came out. It was mostly because of the LGS near my house close down that I stopped but also I was low on money to continue playing. War machine I stopped playing first because the models were not as customizable as WH40K so it didn't draw me in as much because unless you really knew how to customize shit all armies looked the same. WH40K I then went from on hold to not playing probably again when I heard they constantly releasing new editions with units that you might have bought back in the day not having stats anymore for the newer edition. Also the constant changes made it so my army would have to change up everything about them to be viable against any but super casual players. I still hold onto my models just for nostalgia/Wh40k role playing.

I started playing Guild Ball when our LGS bought some of it last year. Fun game, not Blood Bowl at all, but I enjoy the differences. I run Union and Mortician teams.

If the rumours are true and GW are bringing back Blood Bowl, I may start a lizardmen team, as there's still a big following for it here.

i used to play krosmaster, even at a competitive level. Went to national twice.

Now i gave up, mostly because the game never updates and because the local scene in my town is pure shit and the game is dead.

>>212756

There's a big update in the works, apparently, but I can understand your reluctance. They released a fuckload of nothing in 2015 because of all the corporate shit and fucking up the shipment on Krosmaster Quest.

Played wh40k, had 3 fucking armies. Not quitted tired of retardness.

I got 2 wmh armies and play occasionally.

I would play another system but don't have time for it.

>>212525

I play D&D on a semi-regular basis, and I'm counting that as a miniature game because my group plays it proper, with miniatures and everything.

A few years back I wanted to get into playing WH40k (instead of just reading all the novels), so I started gradually putting together a Space Marines fighting force. I grew less able to afford the models as GW kept jacking up the prices, though, and at this point I just can't spare the expense.

>>212529

A board game based on Catalan theatrical snail eating.

I know people who play miniature games and have sizable collections, but personally, I just play the pen and paper side of /tg/. And yeah, I love lore and such.

With that said, I could totally see myself collecting miniatures if I either had a LOT more money or 3D printing finally got adequately cheap and good, whichever came first.

Have a bunch of 20mm stuff but no one around here plays historical games so just a modeler really

Friendly and warm reminder that they are making season 3.

I'm putting together a "guard" army for 40k. Never really got burned out by it. Trying to put together a skaven army, since no one in their right mind plays AoS around here, at least not that I know of.

Boardgames count right ?

Been trying to get my mates over for Forbidden stars, but exam session and extreme cold make that impossible for 3 weeks or more.

I have fully painted…

A firestorm armada fleet

A firestorm planetfall army

All of the Dark Age Skarrd cults

An in progress 40k wordbearers with a fuckton of demon allies and kitbashed demon engines

Infinity Nomad army

Void/Urban War Junkers & Gladiators

DP9 Heavy Gear WFP army

Warmachine Talion Charter army

Sedition Wars Boardgame

Super Dungeon Explore Boardgame, semi WIP

Repainted Tannhauser, still working on getting some expansions

Necromunda Ashwaste Nomads

Mordheim Skaven

Ogre bloodbowl team

I haven't played any of them in about 5 years. I've actually never played some of them (heavy gear blitz, dark age, sedition wars, Infinity). What's wrong with me TG?

>>213081

Also the firestorm stuff, haven't played a game of that either. It looks nice though. In foam I keep in floor to ceiling stacked big black boxes

>>212525

>Does any one here actually play miniature games or are you just D&D and lore fags?

I'll tell you when you'll grow out of playing with dolls.

I play Brikwars by myself :,(

>>220365

There's going to be another timeskip so probably no

>>220368

Well could they atleast let Yugo age

>>212572

Are the figures worth it? Or are they too expensive for what they are worth.

>>212525

Super Dungeon Explore

bonus for the minis being perfect for bringing into D&D, PF, etc

>tfw my paintjobs are better than most on the net but glossy clearcoat makes them largely unphotogenic

so have a random pic of them from google image search

>>220425

Nendoroids?

>>212529

I could tell you the entire story about how the french keep recicling the same idea or I could just tell you it's french furbait

>>220370

They'll probably go full japanese about it.

>"He's like nine thousand years old, he just looks very small"

I play 40k, Phantasy roleplay, and recently been invited to play D&D

I can believe that maybe some people play one of the goofy kiddy games with prepainted plastic miniatures based on some kind of popular IP. I've never seen anyone actually play them, but it's a conspiracy that at least sounds kind of plausible-ish.

However the full-on mass army shit like Warhammer? I am absolutely positive that no one actually plays it. I think maybe once every couple of years GW collects 20 or 30 guys to play a game and take pictures of to post online or whatever.

In decades of gaming, many groups, and many hobby stores that sold GW stuff and paints, I have never once seen a game being played. Every so often I make friends with a guy who has a basement/attic/room taken over by minis and painting supplies.

"Wow, you're a really good painter. How often do you get to play, who else around here plays?"

"Oh … uh yeah, Anon. I totally play. I play the game with uh … Bob Bobson. Yeah, I play so much." It always sounds like a middle schooler lying about the boobs he's touched.

Warhammer type games actually being played is just an urban legend.

I play Team Yankee or Frostgrave now mainly. I tried roleplaying once but it's hard as fuck.

warhammer and warmachine are not only routinely played at my flgs, but 'apocalypse' games see play at least once a month. they take multiple tables each and are really loud, so it's really obvious when it's going on. I play warmachine occasionally, maybe once every couple months or so? I used to be heavy into magic, but it just got too expensive, so I largely just play deckbuilders and P&P now

Warhammer 40 000
