Hey /tg/ /co/mrade here and I need your help remembering this game I played once in a shitty game club in highschool. I remember that there were figures and you HAD to use a measuring tape to measure how far you could move and how far ranged attacks went. Sorry if its vague but I need help and /tg/ is always the best place to ask.

There were like small groups maybe like 3 figures per person and it was kind of robot like with 1 main person that was more human. There were mountains and things as obstacles. I still feel im too vague but I cant recall anything more.

There would be more figures if it was 40k. Do you remember anything else? Even how fair each thing was moving ect.. cause there is a shit load of games played with figures that you need to measure stuff with

On the topic of Mageknight, did anyone else ever play this? I'm ashamed that I did play back in the day but I was young and new to gaming stores.

I played it with a friend. until I got a booster with one overpowered figure "heirophant" or something, I could take just it and beat my friends army of double the points. thats when we realized the game was unbalanced as shit.

Looks like I was talking about Warmachine thanks /tg/. Now that I figured it out tell me is it any good? I remember it being fun but that was 4 years ago so I was pretty young.

You bet your ass it is. Seriously it's a great system, with a large focus on combat.

Hmm good to know. I would probably never play since Ive never even seen any figures at my local game store. But in Nebraska its nothing new for us to not have things. Not sure where those other guys got them though. Plus figurine games are expensive from what ive heard.

How big were the minis? Bigger than your thumb or smaller? Metal or plastic? Were there a lot of charts and rulebooks or did it seem like everyone knew the rules and it just flowed?

Actually, warmachine is much cheaper then, let's say 40k, expecially since you don't need many minis. Basically, a warcaster and few jacks is all you ned for a good game.

Interesting this is intriguing me more and more. I may strike a search for these with much vigor. I remember my machines I played with in school had amazing ranged shit so what do I look for if I want to use that again?

Cygnar Battle group.

You get a warcaster and 3 jacks. And cygnar is the faction which is based around shooting, so it sounds like this one is for you.

Amazing and Free Comic Book Day is coming up so if my lcs has them it will be 1/2 off. Again /tg/ you guys are helpful and patient it never fails to impress. It was driving me crazy all day and I poop over here and you guys help me figure it out in no time at all.

Have to ask though since their all about range that means they cant take a hit for shit right?
