Great painting from everyone. It's good to see folks getting on with The Hobby
As for me, I did actually paint some stuff this week - I finished up my bodyguard for my corsair army. No pics right now, but theyre done, honest injun. Instead, here are some thoughts on how my game of One Page Rules (Grim Dark Future) went today.
My army was eldar corsairs, but since they dont exist in 1p40k (cos theyre an obscure no-longer-in-use FW army) I used the High Elf Fleets rules (ie craftworlders) for them. Spevna (my esteemed opponent) used orks. Well, he used goblins, actually. His whole army was grots. In killa kanz. (To be accurate, there were 12 in kanz, 4 artillery units, and 3 grot tanks. And his bigmek warboss, who was a grot in a fancy suit of armor.)
This led to a problem, and one which Spev is currently raising on the forums for 1PR, actually.
My army, even with the best will in the world, had no chance of taking out his guys. Zip. Nada.
Why?
Because every single one of his guys had 6 wounds and an armour save of 2+. Now, my guys could pump out a fair amount of shots, but those shots had no AP (due to being lasblasters and shuriken, mostly). My other guns (starcannon on tanks etc) had an AP of -2, but only do a single wound per shot. I didn't have the volume of fire I'd've needed to do enough damage with that calibre of gun. I had one gun that had the Deadly special rule, and it did 6 wounds per shot (my captains fusion gun), but he on foot, and a very squishy target (a single rocket hit from any of the kanz wouldve killed him, and eventually did.)
To be fair, his kanz werent exactly the best shots, but simple maths meant that even if I poured every single shot of my army at his (assuming they were all miraculously in range at any given time) I'd still have needed about 100 turns to beat his army down. Meanwhile he could take out one or two of my units each turn.
Conclusion: The game system is fundamentally good, but if you're considering trying any kind of edge-case army (eg all grot tanks/killa kanz) then consult with your opponnent beforehand, and maybe run some numbers on what that "fun idea you have for a bunch of grots running around" might actually play out like. Had I brought, say, a bunch of brightlances and some fire dragons, then things wouldve been very different, but as it was, it was doomed from the outset.
On the plus side, here's some pictures
