Warpath.

Seeing the success that Kings of War has been for Mantic, due to Games Workshop's poor rules writing and lack of being able to produce a well balanced game system, is anyone else tempted to try out the new Warpath game?

There is curently a Kickstater for the second edition, which has two game modes. One being a skirmish, the other being a mass battles. From looking at the background of the universe they seem to have a race that feels a bit like Tyranids, the Z'zor. Even if Mantic don't produce official rules for the Z'zor, they are very open and OK with fan made and tested army lists.

This could be one to keep an eye on.

Interesting.

You know, it's funny. A few years ago I wouldn't have entertained the notion of trying something other than 40K. I might have tried something like Flames of War because I wanted to play something more historical, but 40K would have still been my go to game.

But now, I don't know. I've got quite a bit invested, so I don't think I could ever truly leave 40K. Though if I wanted to be competitive I'd have to buy another flyrant, probably two. Plus IA4 and all the gribblies in that book. For someone who's been playing and collecting for about 20 years that's a lot to buy. But if I don't then large parts of my army are obsolete. Let's face it, my 90 genestealers, 125 termagants, and 60 hormagaunts won't cut it when GW is actively trying to shift the game to knights/wraithknights/riptides.


I have not tried Warpath. Sadly it suffers the same problem that all non-GW games have, it's tough to find people who play it or are willing to invest enough in it to give it a try.

Back around 4th edition I 'quit' 40k in a huff and went and played a whole bunch of stuff. I've been back since the beginning of 5th edition and still trying to play other stuff. At this point I think a game company is going to have to offer something very different from 40k if I'm going to invest the same amount of time and effort (and enjoy it as much).
