@Dustcrusher ..... from what I was told Songs of Drums is pretty much Identical to the fantasy version just with Napoleonic army lists. The guy that demoed it has bought a pile of stuff, and as most plastics are boxes of thirty or forty guys and you need about fifteen for the game he is selling us starter forces for twenty bucks....

Haha, nice.

I am considering getting a few Ex Illis clearance items for Kings of War. There are excellent deals out there (2 catapults and crew for $15? Sure!) and the sculpts are quite nice, especially at 50% off. That gigantic demon-troll thing was pretty impressive (and sadly not clearanced, heh).

Gameplay-wise, it was an interesting idea, and while an iPhone/Android app helped, the whole "register your models" schtick was basically begging for the game to die. Should've enabled offline play (with uneditable match records for "official" games) and offered an army construction kit for an extra cost.

Makes me wonder when we'll see computer-based opponents for games more complicated than chess...maybe after the Arimea challenge is beaten.

Brushes now? OK- I'm liking my just-above-cheap Army Painter brushes so far. Of course, I'm odd in that I prefer synthetics for certain applications where I want a stiff brush, but they are great for the price (and I'm no master painter, so unless I get good enough I won't notice the difference).

Actually there's a board game called Mage Knight which is a good deal more complicated with chess and there's an app where your iphone will play against you, telling you where to move the pieces, etc.
