Thread died and I recently got to play so I'm making it again.>What are you painting?>What are you looking forward to?>good stories about your huntsThread question: favorite fight? Least favorite fight?
Also been painting these guys.
We fought Black knight for the first time (added into a core game because the hand was boring). The map just so happend to be set up in suckling a way that one throw would send us through a hot wheels race track of statues and we had no clue how important understanding was for the bells. At least his defeat consequence isn't that bad.
>>97806612>What are you painting?pin-up butcher>What are you looking forward to?the next stuff, got me an old all-in pledge back in 2018>good stories about your huntsFunny Bill got the strengh of 10 men
>>97807393I wish I had jumped in on the cheap as fuck CoD pledge. I ended up paying the 250 for the black friday preorder. Still probably turn into a deal when they stop poots from adding more stuff. Currently assembling Atnas to paint. As for a good hunt story from our last game>fighting BK as stated above. >2 survivors are fucking bonked off statues out of the castle, fail rolls>our luck build bow user gets 3 hits to the chest and dies to severe>me, the tank, with shield,last man standing and unconscious fighter>go toe-to-toe with BK, lasting heroically for 3 more rounds alone>finally get gutted, and movement set to 1>Bk ends infront of me, I get a perfect hit and perfect crit before being launched out of the castle as wellHonestly one of the more thematic deaths Ive had compared to the usual "you tried to eat dinner but instead shit your organs out and die" type shit they have in the game.
Screaming God is out, right? Anyone play it yet?
>>97813478I dont think its out yet, just the nukealope. I do know they teased some stuff recently but im not seeing it on the shop.
>no end of month update from the pootlerman they're getting fucking lazyone of the dicord troons report on what's happening over there and tell pootler to get off his rancid ass and give us a fucking update through email instead of only putting out shit through the discord dilation stationclownshow
Is there a strategy to lion knight when hes got near unlimited movement? We did lvl 1 and 2, but 3 is probably going to fuck us up. Does the fool just sit on the horn the whole time?
This game is so terrible and poorly designed and barely glued together and I hate that I love it
>>97814832Same boat. Some of the shit is just an unrelenting stream of bad outcomes that legitimately feel unfair and can turn 20 lantern years to a solid loss. But god damn do I love the setting, thw models, and the victories.
>>97814931It's just so stupid in so many places. I can forgive the base game because they were new to it, but I feel even the new content is overdesigned yet undercooked. And yet here I am hosting weekly games like clockwork, still buying new minis every few releases, because the world is just so captivating and the figures so nice.
I'm waiting for my black Friday preorder core. Paid the postage last week and since then, it's been sitting on "package info received from sender, please wait"-status with postnord.Does EU warehouse have a weekly pickup-date or why has it sat still for a week? Wouldn't rule out postnord being shit, either. Never had a good experience with them.
Painting the Knights from the Red Witches Box.NMM on all the weapons is taking some time.I hate the captchas...
>>97816043I fucking love these survivor models. I hope wirh thw holy lands we step into a little more fucked up civilization without losing the unga-bunga cannibal feel.
>CoD still never ever but at least First Hero soon(ish)Cant say Im too happy>>97814287Impatient ass nigga
>>97819773Retard should have developed them side by side from the start. I'd rather have everything else save Satan and the 2 campaigns before CoD.
>>97819407We're years away from real Holy Lands co ntent, sadly enough.
I wish there was a better place to look at the lore and stufd. I tried to ask on the discord a couple things and was met with endless "um actually" troons. Also does anyone know any good remastered? I really want a nukelope model but I already got the game content someone didnt want.
>>97820037the discord troons don't even know the lore anyway most of the time
Iasked this in the 3d printing general but they were too busy arguing about fdm vs resin printers. Does anyone have a lead on the 3d showdown board stls done by axolotegaming a while back? Even if I wanted to buy one i can't, and i wouldn't mind just printing it myself. I almost went in on it via the kickstarter but ended up missing it.
>>97806612>>What are you looking forward to?For 1.6 to come back into stock so I can buy it and play the damn game>What are you painting?nothing yet since I'm a coward and a bitch
>>97821560>For 1.6 to come back into stock so I can buy it and play the damn gameWell aren’t you in luck today son
>>97822193Wait for real? Why did I sign up to their newsletter if they won't send me news fuckgood thing I just got paid so I can spend it all ;w;
So is Lion Champion a survivor or is it a enemy of some kind?
Does anyone have cool references to paint dark eye (gce narrative sculpt)?I swear I remember a pro painter doing it, but I can't find it
>>97822604There's a few good ones in the gallery thread of discord
>>97827113That is fine, but since I mainly paint for display purposes I was looking for more polished versions. There was a cool one with OSL coming from the eye, I hate myself for not saving them.
>>97822272Just some eye candy if you're into that kind of thing. The Forge Priest is a new mini-boss, though.
>>97828935Is it the first time they do something like this? I can only remember boneeaters as mini-bosses.
>>97828935Wait Pillars are boss encounters? Damn, I bought Fade and Percival because I thought the models are sexy. I don't wanna kill em
>>97834227>I don't wanna kill emWell, you dontForge priest is an exception
>>97834288Oh excellent. A little sad these threads seem to need life support, hopefully its around for when my 1.6 arrives. I wonder if it's because the initial ask is a bit too much for people
>>97834326The threads go dormant between the bigger news updates. I was surprised we managed to maintain one between Black Friday and early January.
Core is finally on the wayjust starting to get into model painting (have a box of reaper minis and prints to get practice)how much trauma am I in for?
>>97836642The build guides are all on the website and they are pretty shit, not actually showing you where some stuff goes and sometimes just outright wrong. But the minis themselves all have incredible detail and look fantastic painted up. The box comes with a ton of survivor minis to mix and match also.
Ordered 1.6, probably not gonna paint any immediately and try get to playing first. The three vignettes are standalone encounters and not really things that go into the campaign right? Should I try and pick up the Killenium Butcher or the Nukealope or should I not bother with them?
>>97839980>The three vignettes are standalone encounters and not really things that go into the campaign right?You can fight them in your regular campaign after you get a certain ending in their showdown, so if you really like the models and enjoy the base game versions of them enough that you'd be willing to pay $100 to fight a cooler version of them, then sure.
>>97840332I kinda like Killenium and Nukealope but based on your wordings it sounds like they're not really recommended?
>>97840375Niggy play the base game first and see if you even actually like it Vignettes are cool but p. overpriced because there’s whole expansions there at a similar price point or even cheaper and a lot of vignette’s value besides a separate flavorful showdown comes from “man I’ve already fought x so many times I wish there was something new to the encounter”The usual priority of “shit to get” is core > gce > other expansions > vignettes > white boxes
>>97840375It's not that they're bad or anything; it's just that in terms of gameplay they are pretty much just harder versions of pre-existing bosses. If you're happy with that then yeah they're worth it
>>97840548>>97840539I see. I kinda wish the Vignettes didn't require core game components since it'd make it easier to try out the game. Thanks for the advice.
Humbly requesting scan anon bless us with SG when he comes
How is the gryphon still not out
Finished the Black Knights. Didn't bother with nmm with the rest. Maybe at a later time.Does anyone know how much for First Hero expansion?
>>97843377Damn they look cool, nicely done
>>97843377Looks great anon.
Can the anon who posted his smog singers in the last thread post them again? I'm going to start on mine soon I swear I won't just keep printing out semi trucks instead
Is KDS worth buying into, or nah?
>>97845965Only if you feel like you must consoom the latest thing and cant live without GCE
>>97846058So no then, I'll give it all a miss. Was kinda hoping it'd be a decent way to play it but I guess not. Can you even colour the KDS minis, all their store screenshots are grey only
>>97846123>Was kinda hoping it'd be a decent way to play it but I guess notI mean its alright if you ignore the outrageous pricing model and a lack of certain QoL features>Can you even colour the KDS minisNo, the most you get is a half assedly textured White Lion model for Christmas
>>97844703I think i posted mine. It's a shitty pic, sorry anon.
>>97848257yeah these are the ones I was wanting to copyMy one that's blowing the smoke out is missing the smoke though, I have no idea where it is.
>>97846123>Can you even colour the KDS minis, all their store screenshots are grey onlyIf all the painted miniatures in this thread wasn't enough of a hint...
>>97848988To be fair, they fall off constantly during game, I had to baisically melt the end to keep it attached. But man am I chuffed seeing the group enjoying painted minis. It really does enhance the game.
>>97822198Weird, you should have gotten something because I did.
>>97846123That's a future feature yet to be added.
>>97849443I have all of the base game monsters painted so far, and the crimson croc. last thing I did was benis men
>>97850744I wish they still sold the original Apotheosis M and Apotheosis F. Or at least let pinup Apotheosis F keep her abs when they made her tits bigger
>>97849443my problem is that I can't find where it went on my desk that is covered in unpainted miniatures. I might have to start looking for pirated STLs just for replacement parts.
>>97850744Thats my plan, to get all the monsters done before getting any (more) survivors. I did the OP Pic after the smog Singers and the BK posted. Working on Atnas now. Way more gaps then I'd like on the cloth surfaces. >>97851179God speed anon. I am currently trying to find the microscopic baby arm from pic related as well.
>>97851436Damn. Good luch with that. I may end up green stuff sculpting them since I don't know where to look for stls. I could.... clean my desk... but that is probably more work than making new ones
>>97851179Are those STL even available online? Never seen them
>>97850462I found it in a junk folder a couple days late. I'm mad, since it means I missed out on the options of getting Lion Knight Scholars wonderful ass and the Forgot Bust. I may not have gotten the latter, but it would've been nice to have the option.Hopefully the former comes back in plastic (with a few other older models I want badly)
Black Guard Style says Swords in your grid get Deflect 1, does that mean you have to activate them to gain the Deflect token as its own action or does using the sword to attack get you the Deflect token?
>>97852133I don't know, I'm trying to find them with no luck so far.
>>97852618Is it deflect? I thought it was block 1. If its deflect, you get the token on your turn if you dont have one already. If its block, you would need to spend the action to activate it to gain the token.
>>97854768I believe it's Deflect 1 on the rerelease (the one you can buy now) and Block 1 on its original release
>>97843377God I love the models and it's such a cool armour set, but it just seems so weak especially for the work needed to get the resources. Has anyone felt they were worth crafting in a campaign?
Has anyone played games with the Preacher Wanderer? I'm thinking about getting her because the hammer seems cool and I like the model but I'm curious on how she affects the campaign experience and if she's fun to play with.
>>97855572Fuck im pretty behind then. Its pretty confusing for them to update cards but not put them on the living glossary. An odd catch 22 for wanting to sell physical but release hard to get updates.
>>97856551So does that mean that Black Guard Style means you ignore at least one damage instance per turn as long as you have a Sword in your grid? That seems quite powerful
>>97856623From what I understand, and heard from the discord rules section (yes its alot of troons but the rules channel is solid with the creators popping in to clarify), I understood deflect as: You only get as many deflect tokens as the highest number from deflect X. Example>two swords with "deflect 1"Get one deflect token>have a sword with deflect 2, and one with deflect 1You get 2 tokens.I think it was a way to stop people from just having 9 squares of deflect and being functionally invincible. Its the same with block (beacon shield vs others)
>>97856690maybe I've just not played enough but getting a Deflect token every turn seems good enough on its own merit?
>>97856844Oh absolutely. Its baisically a free extra dodge that can turn a 21,000 damage attack into 0 damage. Anything that gives block/dodge/deflect is great. Beacon shield (2 block a turn) + extra sense (extra dodge) can just down most attacks. I think monsters usually average around 3-5 hits so you can essentially stop most as a tank with a little luck.
I have 1.6 and GCE, what is your guys preferences/the order of getting Red Witch, Pariah, Frogdog and Black Knight? Or should I prioritize the cardboard box monsters like Flower Knight and Dung Beetle? I plan on getting them all with time but I'm unsure on the order I should attempt to go in
>>97858344Black Knight > Red Witches/DBK >> Pariah/Frogdog >> FK
>>97858495Much obliged, I'll pick em up in that order over the coming years. Is there a reason stuff like DBK and Dragon King are (at least on the store) brown cardboard boxes with a sticker but Black Knight and frog dog et al are all designed and printed boxes?
>>97858629Brown boxes are the first wave of expansions/pre-GCE, nice boxes are the second wave/post-GCE
Ashroot and Ashbloom are fuckin, not even word of poots will convince me otherwise. I saw how she tried to pry his pants off during that vignette
>>97861508If you've played the game, incest is a prominent feature. Its only apparent once you get the family name innovation.
>>97862536Maybe I should do a genaology for my settlement for fun
>>97862992We tried for fun on a short online campaign. You can see where two players like naming and the other two just make it up.
I launched one of the smoke puffs across the room trying to grab it with tweezers, and ended up having to pin the remaining ones to the nipples. Yes I had to drill out nipple holes. They're pretty easy to make with greenstuff thankfully
>>97863043This is looking similar to the toadline family tree, survivors probably have a similar life expectancy now that I think about it.
>>97806612>what are you painting After 7 years finally got the courage to start painting my stuff, starting with the OGs. Think I'm finally starting to understand bare skin, even if I'll never be as good as those guys who can paint realistic sheer stockings and shit>what are you looking forward to Screaming god, even if I'm pissed at Adam for not showing the updated parasite queen because not liking the old parasite queen and lack of space was the main reason I passed on screaming god over first hero last black Friday >good stories about your huntsI lost a settlement of 14 in one Lantern year after a hilariously stupid chain of events. Fuck protect the young man.
>>97864130Will Protect the Young be buffed or errata'd in future expacs like CoD, First Hero etc do you think or do you think they want it to be slightly under tuned?
>>97858495>>97859217Dumb question, since you didn't really cover it. Should I just ignore the other monsters not mentioned like Dragon King?
>>97864757Dragon King/Sunstalker are both good since they offer new campaigns but they are also pricey DK good campaign meh quarrySunstalker meh campaign good quarryRevised with them in mind I would go like thisBlack Knight > DK/Sunstalker > RW/DBK > the restBK is still tier 1 imo since core + gce is already a shit ton of content with 2 campaigns and you get atnas to replace kings man but the hand gets stale fast and BK solves that problem Out of the rest of expansions that weren't mentioned, gorm and slendy are good too (better than FK) but non essential and sold out anyway
>>97864967I'll aim to grab BK asap. I wanted to get Dragon, but it looks like there's no stock in warehouses that'll ship to me. Kinda wish there was a 'notify me' option on their webstore
>>97864990That’s what the trooncord is for
>>97869046Those colors work surprisingly well on FK. Well done anon.
>>97869046very clean
Good flower knight
I think I would do fine if I was transported into Kingdom Death personally
>>97879265"Nah, I'd win."
Is the Tachyon Nodachi really that bad as a weapon? 3/5/11 with reach seems good to me
>>97879378Seems good to me too. The only complaint is probably the speed/lack of devastate.
>>97879422alright cool, I don't really follow any creators or anything but the only stuff I've seen said about it was that's basically better as a time stop and you should use another weapon
Is the world of Kingdom Death really so dark and hopeless if you come back home to this every time after you kill a big lion?
>>97880840Yes, because they're probably all going to get eaten (or worse) by a cosmic horror.
>>97880840>welcome back from the hunt! Would you like to die from recreating the hunt? Perhaps your hunting buddy got jelous and ate your skull? Perhaps you'd prefer to die in coitus with your great grandma with no arms and legs so forced to be breeding stock?>"none of those actually?">very well sir, the watcher event you pulled will drain your soul from your lamp. Excellent choice.Remember also, there is no "personal hygiene" innovations. There's so much yeast in there, your making bread.
>>97881869>There's so much yeast in there, your making bread.nah, my survivors are all too 'busy' and as such make a faux friction bath.Also Survivor bodies have evolutionary self selected for automatic cleaning which is why they're all so hot. The others all formed filth settlements and died out or became pariahs
>>97882231What evolution nigga they're written into existence by the scribe
>>97882599they can breed, so they can evolve. How else do you think parents traits and stats apply to newborns? Or are you telling me that every lantern year the scribe comes down and writes into your survivors womb
>>97882643Yes. Either him, or the tyrant in that specific campaign, because either way the survivors have to invent genes (family line)
>>97881869>there is no "personal hygiene" innovationsDo they even need it that much? The survivors are pretty well-kempt and clean considering how filthy the world is.
Do all the first wave expansions fit inside the base game box, or do you have to dedicate a shelf to every single monster they've released?
>>97885360>dragon king mini into the boxare you retarded ?
>>97885564Yeah, maybe. Minis go separate, but do all the cards and gear go into the base box or do they not fit?
>>97885360With organizers yes but even then probably not even every organizer can do that
>>97884928More like they get ripped to shreds before the idea of being clean comes to mind.
>>97885360Not models, but ive fit everything into the core box and BK box. I do keep gamblers stufd seperate but it can all fit if to arrange it well enough. I printed all the fancy dividers and shit for tokens that fit perfectly in the BK box.
>>97885577I have everything up to dateI separated every monster cards into deck boxes and got them all into the Gambler Chest. Everything else fit into the core box but it's tightMinis on display of course
>>97891027are you including white box stuff in your 'everything'? because if so, goddamn.Did you make custom deckboxes, or are you using off the shelf ones?
>>97892429everything fits !i use One Piece TCG deck boxes cause they were the cheapest at my local store + a bigger one for the King because he as too much card;Also everything is sleeved of course.I'll try to take a picture next time if I dont forget
>>97806612So when is screaming god expected to come out for general purchase? I was expecting end of March but that came and went, does Poots usually drop something during summer?
>>97892892iirc the KS update said as of April 2 they had hit warehouses for kickstarter fulfillment so I'd imagine it'd be later in the year, probably alongside Black Friday?Unless the KS update was for general sale intent, but that seems odd
>>97842591Hello, Scananon here. I will scan and upload the nex expansions as soon as I recevie them. I just uploaded some previous items, I haven't received the new Wanderer - Preacher (or anything post that) yet to scan.>/folder/KZpVAYyC#BRGoKS805EUH5Y0i-3jxJw
>>97893462Thanks anon
>>97893462Honestly I wish poots had kept on with percival being the one with sensible armor/nor cheesecaked up because at this point I can't tell her apart from erza.
>>97869046Very Clean and the colors are awesome.
>>97895528I think Percival has ringlets in her hair, except for the Pillar model/art card which is also the most attractive version of percival.People of the Sun sucks, Pinup looks good but has awful posing.Sci-Fi Percival looks good on the model. but not on the art card, deathmas model has bad hair etc.
I honestly feel bad for people who got the preacher wanderer. No matter how good of a painter it is, the glasses did not translate well on the model. They look like horrible googles on an otherwise very nice model.
>>97896494Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm thinking of clipping them off, seems better than trying to get a small bit of transparent plastic down there
Dear Poots, please give me a pinup Braal model that has giant tits. However poots, I'm beggin you here - I need you to not remove her abs like you did with the Apotheosis pinup.
>>97899931I legitimately did not believe braal was a female when I first saw her model. After seeing them turn a hot jacked up tomboy pixie cut character art into a alternate bogenoff costume, I was confused.
>>97900299yeah, it's such a shame.Just redo the face and give her some nice torpedo tits and she'd be saved
>>97896494I think it would have better if they gave us photo etched brass. I can see why they never bothered with giving Forgot glasses.
So there's basically no reason not to replace Phoenix once you've got Dragon King or Sunstalker right? I've tried a few campaigns with him swapped bsck in with the 1.6 improvements to his gear but it's still just so rough a hunt for how replaceable the gear is. SS meanwhile has some of the best overall gear in the game (at least pre GC, haven't played new expansions yet) and even though DK's weapons are mostly dog shit his armor is really good and he's a good iron farm for blacksmith. Worst of all, both their showdowns are way more fun than Phoenix. Is it just obsolete as a quarry?
>>97908349I dont like phoenix as much either but I will say some of the items can be very tempting. Especially hours ring if your really worried about losing someone in a mandatory fight.
>>97806612discord is such a reddit safe space
>>97914077I use it only for the second hand stuff for sale and immediate rules clarifications. They do have some of the official art stored in there too. Question though: how good is the red witches expansion? I love the models but is it a super difficult fight? I want it but our group has had some bad runs lately and I do want to salt the wounds quite yet. Might grab just to paint and wait, but never seen the fight in action.
Wtf this game has no lore
>>97914487Well the entire premise was "A world without history". Its also built like a souls story where you put the story together from small quotes, pictures, Zanzebart one liners. Though that let's me make my own theories and what not. Especially since they put a ton of biblical references but the troons freak out about it so they are moving away from it.
>>97914487its has some lore but there is no huge expose. and basically boils down tothere are entities with goals.one of them writes humans into existence, others use humans for their own goals.humans can hunt or be hunted by various hell like monsters to become stronger or get wiped out.when humans strong enough they get devoured by an entity one way or another.there is no sun and there are multiple unrealistic biomes like-plain of stone faces (main)-a reverse muntain-an cult like entity civilization on top of said mountain called the golden lands. which was stolen from the lion people who then devolved into monsters or insanity.-a sea of rust-an actual human city that somehow stays in existence and has pretty decent tech like revolvers-a wood+swamp with a platitude of shifting organismsand then some characters with a tiny bit of lore and backstory.and Percival with a decent background
>>97916075The golden lands are on top of the mountain? I thought it was just the mountain man up there
>>97916075>-an actual human city that somehow stays in existence and has pretty decent tech like revolverswrong>an cult like entity civilization on top of said mountain called the golden lands.wrongunless you know mountain man expansion stuff that hasn't been revealed, but I think you just don't know what you're talking about
>>97916111mountain man lives in the upper regions of the reverse mountain below the golden lands. hes maybe an outcast from the golden lands but thats very highly speculative on my part
>>97916137can you explain the citystate? i dont know much about it.also you right. pretty sure golden lands lore used to be on top of the inverted mountain but that might have been a tiny blip somewhere in 2016 that has been changed after the scope of the kickstarter was increased.
>>97916174it's a city ran by "nobility" aka monsters and human are used to power the city, implied to be living gears or some suchit's not a human city, they merely live there
>>97916206ah. but you have a lot of humans that sometimes venture from it like the group with the ammo slave.the manhunterthat 1 promo pirate girl.some more mini's that are great game hunters.also is the name of it Dedheim? and if so are there not some Dedheim human guards like ashbloom.
>>97916233manhunter isn't implied to be from the city iircammo slave and great game hunters arenote that they don't have gunsdedheim is something else from what I've gatheredthere's also the storm castle that most people forget about
>>97916075i feel this is probably more accurate then what i wrotehttps://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomDeath/comments/109v1cu/geography_of_death/
>>97916242>reddit
>>97916251>caring about source when you dont have to engage in the community.when i have a tech problem i google the problem and add reddit. i will usually get a good answer and just skip all the bullshit comments.
What's the deal with people seemingly turning into monster? Basically every monster is comprised of distinct human features such as hands and faces.
>>97917916There's a human hand parasite that infects shit (parasites queen is a future expansion). The lions are from another long gone and corrupted race. The rest of the hand motifs are kind of a metaphor for the players own hands coming down to move peices.
>>97917916The survivors are just humanoid monsters, nit actually humans. Nothing in this world makes biological sense, and if you believe the showdown descriptions there seems to be a thing of physical appearance reflecting imagination or mentality
>Group finally able to play again tomorrow>about to do lvl 3 flower knight and maybe try lvl 2 dragonExcited to play again. Painted up some of the monsters and got the booze/ ingredients for dinner. Need some new music though. The darktode ost and mechanicus ost are getting old, but fining good horror style techno is tough.
>>97918954hell yeah, playing with friends is the ideal way to play any board game. It just sucks how less and less often that becomes as we get older
