I bought SOBH after hearing a review on the Meeples and Miniatures podcast. The rules delivered what the review promised and i didn't feel it was difficult to...
I too like to dabble in different periods with what I call "leftover miniatures" from bigger armies. This week I have played robots, mutants, mutant animals,...
I posted in another thread that I had designed a new [well innovative] Special Ability called Engineer, for use with a group of Artificial constructs that I...
This sounds great. Actually you gave me the idea to add a small "technomagic" section in one of the future SoBaH supplements (not in SWW which is 99% written...
Thanks... Feel free to use Engineer if you fancy it... I pitched it at the same cost as Cleric (as it is effectively the same thing, give-or-take)... and can't...
The only limitation is that it only affects units with the Artificial special ability. So if its Warmachine Warjacks you are referring to then I would say it...
Absolutely! I fully intend to appropriate the Engineer skill (probably calling it Mechanik, in keeping with the Iron Kingdoms setting) for use with my...
the Engineer special trait seems to work well... but I prefer a more "magical" approach ;) so I propose the following alternative : TECHNOMANCER (or TECHNO...
Hi, New to the board (and the product) and I really like what I'm seeing so far. The costing formula is a great concept for adding to the monster list. The...
I would have strong misgivings about this ability. Primarily because it removes a [negative] special ability that has been used to reduce the points cost of...
Hi Keld, I was once a dedicated D&D minis player, as were my group, but with the discovery of SBH, I can say I haven't looked at D&D minis in a long while. I...
D&D is much more granular, using d20 and pages and pages of special abilities. The key to avoid sameness in SBH is "look into the creatures special abilities...
very interesting thoughts. Yes I think that special abilities shouldn't negate disadvantageous special rules unless that happens in very specific situations...
I wholeheartedly agree... SBH is a more "organic" system, with a single ability representing an "impression" of the units ability, rather than the "hard and...
So I managed to tempt my [D&D minis champion] brother to try SBH last night, while intially reticent, after a bit of goading and a few beers, he accepted the...
OK you may be right, it is not a well balanced ability. But how do you imagine a specific trait that "link" a magic-user to his golem ? ... shouldn't ... ...
I should think the fact the Artificial still has to make a morale check when a Leader is destroyed, or the force is reduced to less than 50% adequately...
"Actually, I had my brother round last night, and have a battle report to relay... then you will see what a remorseless, hardened D&D minis player (and local...
For those (like you an I Jim) who work, have families and very little time to endulge our hobbies, I found a great stuff that has the potential to make life a...
I have made some demo of SBH at the french event, l'Auberge ludique. i have shown the french version of the rules and use a mix of models with specially...
undoubtedly the point system can be abused by min-maxers.. anyway I can't see a reason why your brother couldn't play both games with the same miniatures . I...
I guess it's the same stuff you can buy in hardware shops... they use it to darken (seal) wood. It's called (at least in my language) polyurethane stain. You...
At this turn of the game, both players roll a die and the high roller takes a first turn, nominating one of his figures. When all of a player's models have...
it can create the unfortunate event where a player acts twice in a row. Since in SBH this happens only when you botch a roll (turn over!) and that is partly a...
... creatures ... I had a two step approach in mind for my mini's. 1. Map the fitting mini's to the profiles from SBH 2. Look whether the remaining "deserve"...
if you really come up with some ability that can't be represented at least in broad sense with the existing rules, post it here (I'm familiar with the D&D...
I was inspired by recent discussions of steampunk abilities and so i came up with these. I'm not sure of a cost for these abilities, but they are meant to...
I didn't say he couldn't... or wouldn't play... I just think he will take a bit of getting used to SBH. He's a competition man, and a few beers and a game of...
This is the part I like about SBH, over something like D&D minis, it removes the reliance on initiative. Those used to playing D&D Minis will know the...
