I really enjoyed their (sadly one at this stage) gameplay video. So good to see an actual game in action with upgrades!

You sir, are an absolute bloody legend! Thank you very much indeed!

Seconded! It'll be a while until the game hits down here in Australia and I was looking to make terrain to kill the time...

Nice! I was thinking of going red for Waiqar, but a deeper blood red... was even considering making Ardus' armour red or alternately keeping his armour "natural" and making him red. As I'm swapping core components with a good friend, I'd get to have two takes on Ardus.

Ha I hear that - I need to have a beer with you and share my feelings about what D&D did to Medusa and her fellow Gorgons!

Rebels and Rogue One go together nicely too...

So very, very much this! In the short term, I'd really love the Waiqar command article... was so hoping that would be up today...

Hopefully this is indicative that the expansions won't be far behind the main release! (fingers and toes crossed!)

Apparently so!

Late to the party, but I'd have to second all of the positive comments for Descent 2nd Edition with the RTL App... I sold my original Descent 1st Edition and 2nd Edition, as neither scratched the "dungeon crawl" itch... Based on the App alone I repurchased 2nd Ed and haven't looked back ... it's absolutely fantastic. I love playing co-op with friends and family, but even more being able to crack it open and go for a solo bash whenever I feel the need is great.

There are Deep Elves in Descent too...

Wow that's good news, as I believe (based on your profile) you're in Europe? Heartening for would be players (like) me down in Australia - if US and Europe are getting it at the same time, then we should be soon too!

Nope, that's pretty much it. My first go was on a Descent Giant figure, and I was gobsmacked with how well it worked (and how rubbery/flexible the hard plastic became)

Awesome - thanks for the clarification!

This is not true. Each accuracy allows you to assign a single mortal strike, or enough hits to cause a single wound to a normally untargetable model. I struggled at first to see the difference between what you were saying and what I said... I think you're making the distinction that it is to a normally untargetable model. In that case I totally understand that - I didn't make it explicit because my explanation was a direct reply to Budgernaughts query regarding allocating accuracy tokens to a Rune Golem in a unit.

Each Accuracy is effectively a Mortal Strike for the figure it's assigned to, i.e. a single wound that ignores all armour.

T H A N K Y O U S O M U C H M E G A S I L V E R ! ! ! !

My head canon guess is this is because the unit is trying to maintain formation, which it can't do if half the unit is struggling to push through thick forest or suchlike. I guess potentially this creates an opening for "skirmishers" in later expansions that may be able to pass through terrain...

Neat. I was thinking too literally! Not having enough actual trays is not going to be a problem if one's going to be replaced anyway lol

Oh... ok so you don't have to have the correct amount of trays to add the upgrade as long as the upgrade gets you to that amount of trays... cool.

Is this right? There should be only 8 trays with two cores no? (for upgrades a 6 tray still counts as a 9 thanks to Ardus)

I'm not disputing that you can choose an "incorrect" modifier - see my previous posts for example: I'm in agreement with drkpnthr about illegally modifying - I was clarifying that the Lancer can still go straight without performing an "invalid" modifier.

That's right, that's why I said it wasn't always optimal. If he's selecting a Blue move, he's going to be charging or turning If not charging, the only straight move for the Lancer is going to be a Yellow 3 March which he gets as a Modifier when selecting Rally or Skill. The rest of the time he's going to be doing 1, 2, or 3 "curves"

He doesn't have a blank modifier though... He can still go straight without having to illegally modify ... either as a charge at speed 2, 3, or 4 (not always optimal), or as a march of 3 (paired with a rally/skill) I do like how thematically that more often than not he'll be "snaking" around
