Duckman Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I mentioned this in one of the other threads but I will post it here as well... Anyone who is intersted, Tabletop Simulator has finally gotten a number of useful tools scripted which make it fairly easy to play Warhammer (all flavors) on it. 8th Edition has continued to be very popular there and so there are tables and armies with ETC-style terrain and other options. There are also a variety of different miniatures (all armies are fully supported although the ones I see in use most often are in German and I am only slowly getting a set translated for myself). You can, of course, use the German versions with a book handy beside you and some of the tables have handy English reference sheets. If anyone is interested in learning or pointers to resources, feel free to reach out. (Or, if you are already set up, throw down a gauntlet. I am currently trying to test out a bunch of Escalation lists to see if they are too crunchy to use with a bunch of new players.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I'll have to check out TTS. I've been using Universal Battle 2 for most of my WHFB games over the past few years but more options is never a bad thing! TTS definitely looks better than UB2 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 There's a fairly large contingent of people active on TTS on the "Warhammer Fantasy Battles & The Old World" Discord server. If you are interested, you can join that discord with https://discord.gg/txVCQF2x6H. In a nutshell, you can get all the tools you need as existing (free) DLC on TTS. Go to TTS in your library and click through to the Workshop. Then look for "Saharien's Warhammer Fantasy 8E Table". It's got all the tools you need for setting up ETC-style gaming tables with all the rollers and tokens you are likely to need. The next thing you need is models and there are loads of options for that. If you search "Warhammer the old world" you will see near the top a whole bunch of items by Fetti. They are complete (8th Edition) model sets for each army and you can download those and open them on their own or import them into an existing game. They have details in mouse-over pop-ups that are in German but those can be editted so you can swap in English with all the TOW special rules and such. (I have done so already for Beastmen, WoC and Dwarves. Once you have those components, you need to build a list and go into the models and grab the subset you need for your army and save them as a separate object so you can build blocks and pull them out ready to go (keeps you from having to duplicate and align things as you go and also gives you the opportunity to put equipment and customizations on your models ahead of time so they are in the pop-up). If you have any specific questions, get back to me. That should get you far enough that you can start watching games to see how people do things. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 Anyone interested in watching a game, I have a match set up tonight about 5p Pacific. We'll be in a discord channel on the site above if you would like to join us and watch how we handle it on TTS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I might be down to learn some TTS TOW. I [big bad swear word]ed my ankle up pretty badly last month so I haven’t been able to really play at all in person (fell down the stairs literally outside the game room to my first game of TOW 😭). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 Feel free to hit me up and let me know what is convenient. I will be happy to show off the tools and discuss pros and cons of TTS vs. Warhall. TTS is on sale for $10 during the Steam spring sale as well for anyone interested in picking it up (which makes it cheaper than 1 month of Warhall if you are paying for the subscription). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
