My local shop ran the RoR deal this last week instead. I really wasn’t feeling it. Id prefer just to play Mordheim or Necromunda. I got there to see some of the fellas and watch 1-2 turns. I saw many questions come up right out of the gate. Questions were about Overrun, Parry saves, how Shooting works, and Break tests.
With reguard to Warriors of Chaos I had considered picking the book up just in case I was not allowed to run my CD. I figgured in a worst case scenerio I could stick some magnets on to some 25mm bases and then mgnitize my 20mms to them. That way I can still run my CDs when possible and if not then they can be “counts as” WoC.
Sheesh, that's a pity!! I guess this means no Hobgoblins either, while there are no Warhammer Forge models for these, the rules are from Tamurkhan... it could have been good fun to have a Hobgoblin RoR!
This use to be called skirmish rules by GW it had its own rules in the 6th edition rule book. Later they released in White Dwarf a campaign book series called the “The Rise of Chaos” I believe. It had charts to allow favors (mutations, marks, weapons) for your warbands. It was fun back in the days and a great way to paint armies by increasing the points of the army by 100 pts a week. At every 500 point mark you have a tournament and at the end at 2500 points you have a grand battle involving all armies each side being evenly determined by they score from the past weeks so the sided are evenly matched.
Gashnag, I still have those supplements in a box in the garage. Last weekend we did a 40K bike race based on the old chariot races rules published in an old white dwarf. It was great fun.
I think that the manager decided to do this RoR thing because they did a 40K kill team event a couple of weekends ago and everyone had a great time so a WFB version seemed the next step.
Xx9millxX, Unfortunately I don�?Tt have any marauder horsemen but I did toy with putting a knight in instead of a troll.
