Well, that was unexpected...Devil Pig Games is doing a 40k game using their Heroes of Normandie/Shadows Over Normandie system. Heroes of Black Reach.

This could be AWESOME. HoN/SoN are _great_ games and the way it uses heroes, equipment, vehicles, magic (in SoN) is PERFECT for 40k. So if you want 40k but as a board game without minis...here you go.

Looks like the FFG divorce is turning out pretty good...

Holy shit, it looks like this comes out...June 19th!

I'm all the way in, as long as they keep "Prepare the war, it's for soon!" in the title somewhere!

yeah, very unexpected.

I guess we assumed GW and FFG split because GW was moving more into board games on their own, but this makes me wonder if it was now more on FFG's end as they wanted to move into that tabletop minis space with Runewars...

Heh...yeah. Let's see how long that lasts. I'm thinking Christmas sale '18.

My Shadows Over Normandie is a shelf toad. I don't see that changing any time soon.

You got a link for this somewhere? Honestly, I think we'll be good with the minis but this type of game may work better for game night.

Hot damn. Normandie is one of the few games that I really want to jump in on but haven't, mainly because I own a ton of M44 and don't need another, but that modular system with WH? Sign me up.

I haven't opened my copy yet, but it's in the queue. What is your reason for its toad-ification?

The scenarios that I have played are crazily unbalanced in the favor of the Deep Ones. It hasn't even been close. There are also quite a lot of rules to ingest, and the rule book is... well let's just say that French is their first language.

Also at this point, I have many other 2 player choices that I'd rather dig out.

My biggest issue with HoN is the turn limit for the scenarios. As in Panzer General-esque games, it makes the game into a puzzler rather than a tactical battle since there is generally an optimal path and ultimately limiting. I am interested in spite of this, since I enjoy the setting. It won't replace M44/C&C on my table with any regularity.

However, if DoW made a reskinned M44 with GW........
