That's when you explain how LOS in Heroscape is different than in Warhammer

Actually, it's a bit different in Warhammer Fantasy. A unit can only attack within its forward arc, which is a 45-degree angle straight out from its front two corners. If that makes sense. But LoS is basically the same if you're checking for an individual model.


My tourney record: 14-32 or 30.43% wins

And THIS makes the game better???

Hopefully he'll play HS and start converting all his units.

Re: I need Warhammer jokes!

Show him how cool the Heroscape Dwarves are, especially with Mok. Then if he is interested, tell him that its too bad that the dwarves have been left out of the latest issue of updated rules and he can't use them in the game anymore!

Re: I need Warhammer jokes!

In Soviet Russia, Warhammer plays you.

I don't think it's really a joke that will work that well, but I think it kind of captures Warhammer. It's more of a lifestyle from what I gather. You buy, you assemble, you paint, and then maybe your army is still legal enough to play.

Re: I need Warhammer jokes!

In some ways I wonder if it is like poker. Already in for a lot on a hand, so may as well go all in.

Re: I need Warhammer jokes!

Actually, the last time I played it years ago, they let me use similar Star Wars minis I already owned to represent a then new WH race. I had to buy the book though.

PS: I HATE Games Workshops and all their works! They are The Devil.

Though I've just started Warhammer Fantasy this past year, I think I'll stick to playing casually. That way, my friends and I can proxy/mod/bend the rules all we want and still have fun (much like Sylvanoscape).

From my experience just watching a few turns at local tournaments and leagues, those players are much more strict with the game in general than how I play. That said, Warhammer tournaments would be much less fun than a Heroscape tournament. Too difficult and too high of a potential for arguments.

My tourney record: 14-32 or 30.43% wins

Re: I need Warhammer jokes!

Just tell him that Warmachine (Or Warmahordes) is better.
(Even though it is true.)

Ask him how he has to transport his figures. When he shows you the 2'x2' box with super padded insulation and bullet resistant reinforcing that Warhammer players tend to spend 100's of dollars on, show him your paper bag. Tell him that your figures are much less fragile and can handle being jostled.

When he reveals an order marker and only moves what is on the marker (which is right) look at him, as if to say "That's it?" Pretend that you expected him to move his whole army.

Be polite: Don't put politics or religion in your signature!

I have heard that it is a lot of fun played casually. Getting an older edition and whatever minis you can find is just as good and a whole lot cheaper. Sure you don't get to play tournaments, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
