I do love Nusfjord, still can't believe I snagged a brand new copy for £20. Can rattle through a game really fast too, I expected it to be way more complex than it actually is. The teach is mega easy.
Have you played any of Lacerda's games before? They are all fairly crunchy Euros - It has some similarities to Viticulture, but turns the complexity up a fair bit - although as I said, it was lighter than I usually expect for his games.
I'm not sure I have you know. I may have played Age of Steam a while ago but I'm not 100% sure as alot of rail games get played at game club and they all blur into one another.
I am not a massive fan of the 'train game' subgenre, especially the heavy economic ones where you can basically be out of the game in turn 3 - that's just not fun for me!
And yeh, I'm not a massive fan either. Especially the stock trading ones. Always fancied Snowdonia though, as I absolutely love the 2 player game Foothills which is related.
Just read the Feast for Odin rules. Tell you what, that is an absolute cracker of a rulebook. Really well laid out and clear. Gonna have a solo game later and I'm pretty confident I won't have to do much looking up of rules. We'll see.
Got my wife the roll and write version of lost cities for Christmas and gave spent the last couple evenings having a lovely time playing it on the couch. It's it first roll and write and I'm pleasantly surprised how engaging and fun it is. Think it'll be one that travels with us.
Hit me with all your best basing tips, gang. I want to make nice bases for my new soldiers I'm working on. Already have a few texture paints to play with and some static grass, plus a few other bits from an Army Painter set.
How have you approached using Cork? Drybrush tips? How the buggery did you make the Slaanesh bases, Tempo?
Sideline, I'm booked in with a pal to go to Warhammer World in 2022 at some point which is excite.
I've always used the texture paints, cos I think they're good and now I get a discount. Vallejo do similar, cheaper by the bulk stuff, but there are plenty of guides to making your own stuff, like Luke Aps on YouTube.
For my slaanesh stuff I use all-purpose filler, mixed with water and pva, then draw lines through it so it dries like sand dunes. Simple stuff.
My top tip for the crackle paint is to paint a colour on the base, then varnish over it with a paint on gloss coat, then but the crackle paint on top when it's dried. It helps it separate better.
