Is this out yet?

I remember hearing about this game early in its kickstarter and, while it sounded cool enough, it wasn’t anything I was looking for at the time. But recently I ran into a situation recently where I thought it could be the perfect fit, and it had been like a year, so maybe it’s out and I can plunk down some cash for a pdf and hopefully be playing this weekend.

Ok, so…solo rules and a campaign are out there. Good sign! Oh, there are fan mods for it, sweet! So…where is it? All I can find are the QuickStart and references to a 198-ish page thing that…I guess…is still backer-only?

I’m eager to buy, but can’t even tell if it’s a thing I can buy, even though there are endless blog posts about it. What’s the actual deal? The hype machine is running, but the barebones end-user marketing (like barebones, as in “This is a product”) is not showing anything for those of us who haven’t been steadily following development.

Anyone home-rules javelins?

I'm making a Roman inspired warband, and obviously 1 of the classic weapons of the Legionary is the pilum, which I'll be counting as probably a single-use light ranged attack on the models that have them.

Question is whether anyone else has done something similar, and how you accounted for it rules wise? Obviously the models will technically have a shield and 2 weapon options (the gladius and pilum) which I dont think is in the rules but assume is ok?

Test game of Greathelm at Točnik castle. ⚔️

Test game of Greathelm at Točnik castle. ⚔️ Medieval wargaming at castle grounds! 🏰 We run just the "quick start" version but it seems like fun little game, ideal for traveling.

Knight of the Waves

This is a knight I painted in about 60 minutes when I hosted a paint and take at a local cidery. I used the test prints for these monopose knights as the models for the paint and take and a lot of people painted up some really great knights! They're really fun and easy to paint up.

What a great game

Made my partner play a game so we could learn the rules and she was hesitant (been trying to make her play warhammer for the last 4 years with no luck) ended up playing two games, both games ended in a 4v0 in her favour. What a great game it is super fun and makes for really great moments

First team painted

They arrived last night and they're done today. I can't remember the last time I was this motivated to build and paint. 7 more teams built already, at least 6 more still to build and maybe 2-3 more after that from combining the leftover bits.

Snapbrim, a John Woo conversion for Greathelm

Hi all, you might remember my earlier Western conversion, Stetson.

I'm here to offer up Snapbrim, a conversion inspired by Hong Kong crime operas. This system uses Malev's brilliant design as a base, adds on Stetson's gunplay, and further adds cinematic stunts, destructible terrain, and narrative bonds among player characters.

I hope you enjoy it! As always, huge thanks to Malev for the inspiration and incredible design.

How long is the PDF?

I'd like to get a physical copy of Greathelm to play with the kids - and maybe I can't wait until officially printed books reach the UK. How many pages is the PDF? Can any of you lovely people recommend a UK print-shop?

The first Greathelm STL Knight set is available!

The first set of STL Greathelm knights from Skull Forge Studios have hit the backers (that purchased the add-on) and is now available for all on the ITC store. (The same place you can get the early access digital rules for Greathelm).

This first set is a collection of both mono-pose knights, and the multipart pieces that make them up. In addition to that, the set contains all the pieces for the available weapons in the game, in both a left and right hand variant. When combined with the legs, torsos and different heads in the set you can create a staggering amount of different options. This is just the beginning of knight sets for Greathelm, with new ones on the horizon that fit the different armor sets available in the game plus other things, like head sets and alternate parts. Big thanks to Skullforge for the hard work on these awesome sculpts, and Art at ITC for all their hard work implementing the features!

If you're keen, don thy Greathelm and dive in! Thank you for your support!

Note: the 'red / blue' sets are simply just an organization of sculpts / weapons. You can mix and match them however. It just made some sense to get two pre assembled "warbands" right off the get go.

Homemade arena

Saw some youtube content and immediately bought the rules and am waiting on probably way too many boxes to build teams with. Went ahead and built this little bridge arena while I wait. I'll probably add a lot more to it over time but this feels like a good start.

First game, this is great

Last night at our game club 12 of us built up squads from a bunch of WGA knight kits and then played a few games. Was good fun, I'm looking forward to getting more games in next week!

The first warband

Got my first warband squared away. Have a few other knights I haven't painted yet but they have different weapons. Wanted to create a roster of knights to select from.

Second warband will be made up of goblins.

Trial of Seven?

Been tinkering with some plastic knights (I think wargames Atlantic) and it's not what I want. The kid is good and I like it, just not for this.

I however, have almost every box of Song of Ice and Fire. I went all in on the KS and am still praying to the Old Seven and New Seven. This is the perfect excuse to paint a bunch of them. I have a 12x12 board that I will be using as the board.

Not only that, my wife is a HUGE fan of ASOIAF, which she likes to paint with me once in a while. She's really excited to help build the board.

Onto my question! There's a duel that can be called where 7 fight 7. Would adding 1 model break the game?

Cheers!

Another question

Hi

Another question about ranged attacks

Does the target get bonuses for being "Outnumbered" by his own allies?

In this skirmish-test the crossbowman is trying to hit the knight with the shield (pointed by my pencil, thank you Reddit) in an attempt to one-shot it. Edit: I know that shield give bonuses, but I forgot to mention it. No worries :)

Rules state that people with spears n pole-weapons can count as bonuses for the outnumbered property.

Does this apply to ranged attacks or not?

Imo, it should actually be the opposite, they hinder movement by not letting you move around. They shouldn't be giving that bonus.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks again.

PROBLEM SOLVED. THANKS EVERYONE
