@@TheJankmaster Im expecting new prints of them as they release new units anyway similar to in 40k. They had the index card set and then as each codex comes out a whole new set of cards for the same faction is being released too so when they have all/most of their planned releases out we might see continuous prints of card decks.

Thanks for this, the game seems to be getting a lot of heat on social media for the quality of the infantry... personally I don't get why anyone would think you go smaller models and larger scale expecting soldiers to be even more detailed, i'd be happy if they looked like they used to back in 1992.

I think people have gripes a out the actual production quality, not the level of detail. There have been some very bad pictures roaming around showing bad like blending you night call it between arms and bodies

Look at the actual pictures. What should be empty space looks like a CAD error where the program tried to 'fix' where the injection molding wouldn't be able to work correctly but then wasn't manually checked afterward.

@Vertrucio Ай бұрын

17:00 In case anyone's confused. Ash made a mistake with the Sponson count on the Sicarans. Even though there are two heavy bolters on each Sicaran on the models, their profile combines both heavy bolters into one profile, with 2 shots. So instead of 8 dice for HBs in the detachment, it should be just 4 dice.

Thanks for the video. So compared to Epic Armagueddon: You cannot keep the initiative; all phase are separated like 40k (move, shoot...), a lot a special rules for weapons vs AC, AP, BP and AA values. Not sure it's more streamline. You can change an order of shooting if you are not in range !? I will try since I already have some nice Armageddon 30k amies.

@FarseerB1rdy 7 ай бұрын

Just a few bits you got wrong: You said you have 5 Formations for the Marines - you don't. You have ONE formation and 5 Detachments. Another thing - and this was quite big - is Cover/Hit Modifer. Models behind structures DO NOT gain Cover or -1 to Hit. They have to be within WHOLLY WITHIN Difficult / Obstructing terrain or Garrisoned to gain the hit mod / cover save. EXCEPT for Knights and Titans which then goes on a % based cover system (25/50%). Page 57.

@magicalawnmower4764 7 ай бұрын

very interesting to see the alternating activation and no wound rolls, just hits. I'm a bit unsure on how the wounds and such worked, do all models have 1 wound per base? Or do they still have damage characteristics?

@Mystical_Socrates 7 ай бұрын

Typically one wound per base, even for the tanks. Super heavies, knights and titans have more

@enixraghunath703 7 ай бұрын

Malcador tank in starter has 2 wounds each, but basically super heavies, titans, heavy flyers, and Knights have more than one wound

@davidwasilewski 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for doing these little show games. Very useful! Question: for a 3000 point game, how many detachments is that roughly, likely to be? I’m asking because I’m wondering how many order markers to get printed out and painted?

@Jak0vas 7 ай бұрын

I built this to help me decide what to purchase, the formation builder should give you an idea on the number of detachments, obviously if you add knights and titans you will get there quicker, you will need more if you go infantry heavy, less if you go all in on heavy armour and even less still if you add additional troops and tanks to detachments: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ljd2gtywXRWKpqBwriNuXPsLHFP4UQY_kqnCk2I_lN8/edit?usp=sharing

@FarseerB1rdy 7 ай бұрын

Totally depends what you take. If you take a larger Titan and then loads of tank detachments you're going to have significantly less than infantry spam.

@enixraghunath703 7 ай бұрын

It will depend but with the requirement of only 30% being allowed to be allies like Titans you're going to need a lot. I'd print extra just to be safe

Not all of the units lose other orders, the Charonite Ogryn and the Storm Auxilia don't. Also in larger games you will be bringing 2-3 formations each with their own commander. Plus you can purchase tank commanders depending on formation. The Auxilia would be busted if they didn't have this limitation
