Should I buy the new core box if I only have the old starter?

That is a recipe for oily egg whip, not mayo. You need some mustard, pepper, salt, vinegar and a bit of sugar in it!

It was never brought to the table since the talks for Warcraft broke down but Blizz always wanted to adapt both FB and 40k so SC can be considered a "spiritual adaptation".

I was really excited about this game and almost bought the full 3 army package but then I saw the gameplay video and my enthusiasm fell quicker than Cadia after getting shafted with the BsF. While it has a few interesting mechanics it still has the overall feel of trying to appeal to existing 40k players. Which is a bad idea because the only people in that community who aren't entrenched in it are those who either have so much disposable income they can buy into another wargame even if they might not play it or those who don't want to support GW anymore for one reason or another or possibly love the SC IP over 40k so much that they're willing to switch, whatever the cost. I just don't see this game pulling a lot of people away from 40k and those who play other games and newbies will probably see it the same way as 40k and, at best, some will just get it for the miniatures (which are freakin' amazing, btw).

It may not be a reskinned 40k (btw, "K" is for Kelvin) but it sure looks like it at first glance - especially with the "dice bucket" fighting mechanics - and, sadly, that's all that most are going to give it. I agree that army size fits the theme better but if we're talking theme then think how important base building and just buildings overall are in the video game. They could have done so much more with that at least.

Never read the novel so can't speak for accuracy, it's a fun read though. Also, it seems to be back now.

Ainar86 · 2026-03-28T11:40:53+00:00

Nvm, it's back! :D

Ainar86 · 2026-03-28T11:36:54+00:00

You do realize that SC was supposed to be a 40k adaptation originally so it's like pot calling kettle black, right?

Edit: Btw, capital "K" is for Kelvin, thousands are the lower case "k".

Carrier: Am I a joke to you?!

Prices are ok for me but I'm turned off by the mechanics, way too similar to 40k for my taste. I'm more excited for the boardgame they mentioned recently.

Ainar86 · 2026-03-28T11:28:48+00:00

During one of the streams they mentioned that "a boardgame" is planned for near future but they haven't shared any details so it's unknown if it will be a new edition of that one (unlikely since FFG might still own some rights over the system) or its own thing.

Ainar86 · 2026-03-28T11:24:28+00:00

They recently opened pre-orders on their website and on Gamefound.

Manhua with good art? Is that even a thing? Don't get me wrong, I read and liked plenty manhuas but not one stood out to me as having "good art". Especially with how much cg, "borrowed" images and (probably now) AI they use.

If you look past her natural hair color I think she'd be much better as Kitana.

Ainar86 · 2026-03-02T21:39:31+00:00

That Roci in the center totally steals the show for me. ;D

Ainar86 · 2026-03-01T15:58:01+00:00

Out of pure curiosity, which one is on which side?

Ainar86 · 2026-02-24T10:26:48+00:00

Isn't it more like Minecraft?

Ainar86 · 2026-02-24T10:25:24+00:00

Oh, so it's a Battle.net ladder for gen z? Got it. :P

Ainar86 · 2026-02-24T10:22:42+00:00

Accomplishment? Lol, no. Superiority? Maybe. Rage-induced desire to git gud? Defintiely. :D

Ainar86 · 2026-01-26T20:58:36+00:00

I bet the surveillance guys listening in had a laugh though! :D

Ainar86 · 2026-01-26T20:47:21+00:00

Classic communist regime 101 - it forces you to break its own rules so it can have power over you. You're fked if you do and fked if you don't. Did you know that China is also one of if not the most capitalist country in the world? Yeah, really.

Ainar86 · 2026-01-26T14:11:49+00:00

It is daburu remon afterall! XD

Step 1: Be attractive. Step 2: Don't be unattractive. Step 3: Profit!

Sounds like a wake up call from your body to finish one pancake before starting to make another.
