Hmm. Heavily used I agree, but it’s still a bit of an everyday word for me! I was just listening to Hammerhal by Justin Hill and the word “ichor” got used 4 times in a paragraph… 😅

At what point does a game shift from “multiple mistakes” to “cheating”?

When he was corrected he never tried to argue it, just conceded that he was wrong - but about almost everything.

As I reflect on it, I’m sure he was trying to just have me over and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

If it were a new player, you’d chalk it up to inexperience. But that wasn’t the case here. This was someone claiming to be a competitive AoS veteran, who was trying to lecture me on the rules - wrongly. Fortunately I could check the Idoneth Deepkin on the AoS app as it isn’t yet behind a paywall.

- He kept rolling the wrong number of attacks

- He claimed abilities that don’t exist

- He mixed up Fight abilities, Shoot abilities and Charge abilities

- “Wholly within” had to be explained multiple times for his faction terrain abilities

- His army was 1220 points, not 1200 as agreed. Mine was 1140.

- He set up his tankiest unit with the wrong number of models (4, not 3)

- He wrongly tried to claim his first two battle tactics

- He tried to claim cover with flying units

- He thought Heal could bring units back from the dead

It also tells you to base miniatures in Astrogranite or Stirland Mud - even if they don’t have bases.

I really think the Citadel app could be so much better. It’s particularly galling that it’s “wrong” even on their latest models.

It’s an app with very little care or attention to detail.

“Burgundy”, as a colour, is often suggested to be Khorne Red, highlighted by Wazdakka Red and Squig Orange. This will not give you a maroon effect.

Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to check several sources and rely on your own experience.

Unfortunately it means that beginners can’t expect to replicate exactly what they see on the box by following the app that purports to tell them what to do. Instead, the app has standard triads (e.g. Caliban Green always being highlighted by Warpstone Glow and Moot Green) that often aren’t “right”.

The “correct” green here would be Sons of Horus Green, as they advise on their YouTube tutorial. You will frequently find that the app and videos say two completely different things. I also note that the tutorials often push Contrast Paints quite heavily too; they’re a matter of personal taste.

That will give you something more akin to the warpstone effect seen with Skaven. It’s a classic triad, but you’ll end up with a very nuclear green.

They’ve been pretty good with Necromunda and Blood Bowl over the years, recognising the fan base kept those games alive - so much so that GW brought both of them back into print.

WH Quest (of sorts) is already back in Blackstone Fortress and Cursed City, so I’d say it’s definitely a possibility.

I wondered if they’d re-do Mordheim as a skirmish game to accompany the Old World. WH40K has Kill Team, AoS has Warcry…
