Has anyone played these rules? What are they like?
You are supposed to be able to play with as few as two models. Thanks. Dave |

Two models? What's the fun in that? |

Two Models? God and Lucifer? |

I read here on TMP somewhere that they suffered from bad writing, editing, and logic like some of the older rules in the line. I have a similar project in mind and will probably be using Supersystem or Shockforce. |

Horrible, horrible writing and editing. Avoid at all costs! |

After seeing the fight scene in Legion I thought it would be interesting angels vs demons as a skirmish game. Plus Reaper makes some decent models. |

Agree with the others. I read through these once, and they're w=very poorly written. I do like (and own) some of the miniatures, though. |

As the others have said, great idea, wonderful miniatures BUT god awful rule production. Be prepared to either re-edit the rules yourself to get a usable set from them, or just extract the specific model/class related stuff and add it to a better set of game rules. |

Rules are actually a step up from previous offerings…Gladiator Wars in particular reads like the writer's pet chimp arranged the pages after pitching them during a tantrum. The game is playable. Once you run through a few times and make the obvious adjustments it all makes sense; however, it's still not a great game, and can become stale very quickly. SuperSystem lends itself very well to a Lucifer Wars style game and is what I prefer to use. |

Since Lucifer's War was just a shoddy re-write of Supersystem (unfortunately without Scott Pyle being involved) that makes complete sense that S2 works better. |

I guess it must just be me who thinks the miniatures are really poor as well as the rules. I was very disappointed when I received mine. |

Parmenion, I was looking at the figs and think most of the heads could have been redone. I do like the Bael figure from Anima Tactics. |

@Parmenion: There was another topic on the miniatures a couple of months ago. I have a few of the Lucifer Wars figures, but I use mostly Reaper Demon figures (a few Rafm figures too) and my own sculpts/castings. |
