War Room BRIEF review

So I downloaded and installed the new Privateer Press app called War Room.
So far, some good and bad about it.

Firstly: I'm a bit limited with access to certain features on WIFI here at work. Will try again once at home with full access. For example, the create account bit didn't work.

So, on to the review.

Once you're actually in the App, things are pretty logical.


  Once clicked OK, could select on Armies button.



In this case, I chose Menoth. I forgot to get a screen shot of the selection area, where you can choose your faction / force.


Once you are in the area, you get a full list of all things Menoth. Here, I selected him to add to my force, by selecting the + icon next to his name.


This is what you get if you DON'T own that card. I haven't purchased any faction decks yet. DOH. I can't even get an account working.


What you see if you select Theme from that Warcaster.

Pros:
A nice easy to view interface, pretty logical to use.

Cons:
Still to be validated, but from what I've read is you have to be connected to their server to arrange your factions / decks etc. The concern I have with that is what if I'm not connected at a tournament? (Only have WIFI enabled IPAD).

More to follow as I play.

40K flyers

40K flyers - coming soon?

So Beasts of War had a vid cast last night about the new 40K flyers that are supposed to be coming out in June 2012. Hmmmm......

Space Marine Stormtalon… the Necron Doom & Night Scythes… plus the new Ork Biltza-Bommer, Dakkajet and Burna-Bommer!


Ork fighter/bomber: not one but 3 vehicles, maybe 2 kits.

Dakkajet: BS2, AV10, fast skimmer, supersonic, aerial assault, strafing run. (BS3 Vs all except jump and skimmers) Fighter ace upgrade gives BS3 against everything. During Waaaghh may get to fire twice? 3x TL A2 dakkaguns.

Burna-bomma: BS2, AV10, same rules as jet, burna bomb - essentially scorcha dropped during movement that ignores cover. Also has grot gunner. Pic of blitza-bommer version



Space Marine Stormtalon gunship - 130 pts!

Not a troop carrier, BS4, AV11, fast skimmer, supersonic, aerial assault, TLAC/TLHB as standard, TLHBs swapout for lascannons/typhoons. Skyhammer missile launchers, S7, AP4, H3 60". Ceramite plating, deep strike. Special rule - escort craft - attach to deep striking/reserve unit and will turn up 6" away. Hover-strike - can turn into a skimmer for a turn, can't move but gets +1 BS. Pic:



And lastly, the Necron one (no details known so far).

My Orks are jumping up and down in happyness at all the thoughts of teeff.
