I like the guys, but is the game fun? War games have always been a bit much for me, but this seems like a decent entry level game.
>>
>>93897441
Yes, it is perfect for beginners. The miniatures have the perfect amount of details for new painters. The rules are solid but not overwhelming. Preparing a comfy 24x24 table is also pretty easy, even with no experience. Just build some fences, bushes and styrofoam hills.

Quar is nice but it can't live very long, not a big enough community yet.

Careful about asking /tg/ about wargame suggestions. This board is full of people who seethe so hard at GW that they'll shill any game that isn't 40k, AOS, or WHFB. I learned this lesson the hard way when this place tricked me intro trying OPR, infinity and Trench Crusade. All garbage.
>>
>>93897811
I saw a youtube about it and really like the aesthetic.
>>
>>93897811
You have to convince people to try things, I guess? It takes effort to convince an autists to try new things like games or vegetables, like how everything has to be compared to warhammer to drum up interest in the algorithm slop treadmill.

Just got the starter box after reading the rules online. Can't wait to start putting them together.
>>
>>93897914
if you weren't a moron you might be able to get the sense of whether you like something from reading the rules
at least playtest the things with proxies before you commit to anything
that you got "tricked" into playing something based around a body or illustrations that's only in its playtest phase tells me how fucking retarded you are

You can download the rules for free on the homepage. Read them and see if you dig it. Be aware that this game is not very popular yet. You will probably need to get two warbands and convince someone to try it out first.

No one except grogs and newfags cares for 40k anymore. All normal people moved on since 8th dropped. Sane people are not seething.

> Be aware that this game is not very popular yet. You will probably need to get two warbands and convince someone to try it out first.
Yes, I'm very familiar with this experience with board gaming. My plan was to get the starter set, paint them all (Honestly seems like the most fun), then add some simple terrain to have a nice little set I can play quickly when I find (or force) someone to play.

I think the plan is solid, but I need to wait till after my move, and I down size some. The paints + hobby supplies and time is just too much right now.

>infinity is worse slop then 40k
you actually do not believe this.
did the 40kiddy burn is brain out or something?

worst part of infinity is it prevents warzone from returning from the grave as they share a system
next worst thing is the aesthetic

shit's got soul unlike nu40k
>>
>>93906809
If you're wargame has a shit aesthetic than it is literally impossible to have soul. 40k has the best aesthetic of all IPs which is why its more soulful than any other wargame out there.
>>
>>93906827
>40k has the best aesthetic

oh what the featureless phisherprice marines?

Do you think quar appeals to a different audience the W40K? I've never been a fan of the super complex models, but I love designs like pic related (Cartoon characters in realistic settings). I feel like the vibe just suits my tastes way better. But I'm not a typical war gamer, so really my tastes mean nothing.

I also love the models, but the more I look at them the more my autism is irritated by the lack of eyes. People have told me that they're supposed to be peering out from under their hats, but they clearly aren't and I can't deal with it, I thought I could at first but I can't.

this dude did>>93897914
when he derailled the quar thread to whine about all the bad gamers who play games he doesn't like.

Aesthetic is important to the game but so is crunch, mechanically infinity is quite good.

and from what i see, so is a clash of ryfles which actually cribs a couple mechanics from infinity.

I know people who will vehemently not try this game because they do not like how the quar look, it's bad to have no taste but there's enough 40k players to fill the ocean.

doubly important because they should GET IN THE FUCKING SEA.

The problem with "playing" any game aside from GW games is that you won't be playing shit. Go ahead. Go out and find some other Quars War players in your city. Let's see how many you'll find. Unless you're buying this shit to paint and play against yourself, don't waste your money, just buy one of GWs many starter sets

>>93913127
>Let's see how many you'll find.
the problem with all wargames is it's 90% finding the right opponents.

GW has been hell because so many people means so many shitters. you run into a lot of meta chasers, cutthroat players etc.

playing Quar because of the small size, i reason would make your experience a lot easier.
a lot of the community will be similarly minded.
>>
They royally screwed up by switching model scale, the official models were already overpriced. The system isn't particularly good and the simply isn't enough background lore to run a campaign. Basically It's already in need of a relaunch.

That is why I'm buying. Or as a fun game to pull out when only one person can make board game night. Seems like a decent (if pricey) game in that sense. But it's worth it when I factor in the fun painting.
>>
>>93913805
>did you not attended any wargaming convention pre-covid?
No
Why would I?
and what does the history really matter to the reality of $40~ for 24 minis at 28mm scale.

the 15 mm isn't /to/ bad. its bad don't get me wrong but it's comparable to say Flames of war.
>>
>>93913166
everything but 40k is dead if you're unlikable enough
>>
>>93913638
I would rather have more stuff for existing armies. For such a small scale game 4 factions are enough desu. Tanks would be cool too.
>>
>>93911975
Show me the models that have eyes. If I can build an army where everyone appears to have eyes (even if you can't see them) without having to do a bunch of kitbashing then I'm in. I'm sure some of you could easily adjust the hats to make them look more believable, but I'm a noob, having to kitbash defeats the purpose of getting quar.
>>
>>93917429
>spoonfeed me more
the other anon literally showed you the heads with eyes. What else do you need? Maybe it would be better if you stay away with your autism.
>>
>>93917986
That's not a model. All the models have the eyes completely covered by a hat so that they obviously can't see anything. It's cute at first but in the long term I would come to dislike it intensely.
Other dudes can have hats completely over their eyes, I can deal with that (by joking about it), but my dudes need to look like they can see. Even if you can't physically see their eyes their needs to at least be a gap under the front of the hat so that I can plausibly tell myself that they have eyes.

>>93913638
I'm interested to see how they turn out. Fidwog could be fun.

What I'd kill for is if WGA could sell the various conversion parts as physical product already. I don't have a 3D printer and don't want to have to constantly bug my friends to print me stuff if I can prevent it. It'd be nice to be able to get the parts to make the plastics into Gwynt just ready to go and shipped to me.

>>93913127
There's a decent group of guys playing it where I live. And you know why? Because someone saw it, went "that looks cool!" and started a community instead of just giving into the "all nn-GW games are dead" cunt mentality.
>>
>>93926340
I actually getting into the wargaming hobby with Quar. Never painted or anything, so a bit torn over doing all terrain myself or asking my friend who just got a filament printer to make this and that. Maybe both.
>>
>>93927398
>What I'd kill for is if WGA could sell the various conversion parts as physical product already.
The creator said he'd sell parts at least, just needs to build up an inventory. So there is hope without needs a print farm
