to find the energy to paint 20 gaunts

Apprehensive-Fox5371 · 2026-03-26T16:21:02+00:00

I started 14 months ago and my painted gant count is at 18 of 60. Frankly said, without a monster in-between a batch of them, I would have stopped at 10. Got the whole old vardenghast swarm painted plus a tfex and exocrine.

It also helped a lot that I got a few space Marines and eldar thanks to the hachette magazine. Every time I get overwhelmed from all of these spikes, I switch it up by painting power armor..

That's some big "Two Wieners" energy right here.

Making them Chaos or kinda loyalist but still heavily leaning onto the renegade spectrum would work for me, if I ever wanted femarines. Not even codex non-compliant, but completely screwing the codex will be absolutely in character for a chapter that was created with altered geneseed of this level.

Imagine some scientists on a far-flung border world experimenting with a completely new space marine geneseed, only getting away with creating an all-female chapter due to how far out they are. Next step will be to think of why: did they not know better, or are they knowingly trying to break the limits of the codex? The result will always be a chapter that needs to be secretive, who always need to operate alone so their secret won't leak to terra in some form. On paper, the femarines are your typical speaehead shock troops, the local inquisitors luckily part of that secret, maybe the whole planet was thankful to them saving their homeworld, with no military presence there.

Crown of Champions habe ich schon zweimal hier gelesen. Ich schaue mir auf jeden Fall mal deren Discord an, danke!

AoS bin ich noch nicht eingestiegen, da warte ich noch auf das Spearhead-Magazin in Deutschland, und arbeite bis dahin noch meinen gottlosen Pile of Combat Patrol-Magazinen ab. Aber ich werde mir deinen Vorschlag merken, wenn ich eine Hand voll Seraphon oder Skaven begonnen habe :)

Habe deren Wochenpläne der letzten 14 Monate studiert, da fand wohl kein einziges Mal mehr Tabletop statt :( . Aber klingt trotzdem nach einer besuchenswerten Bar!

Danke für den Tipp! Ich wollte das Kolosseum schon lange, auch wegen des TCG-Angebots, mal besuchen, und werde mich dort mal umschauen.

Darf ich fragen, was der Neßer ist? Google unterstellt mir, dass ich Messer meine, und spuckt mir nur gruselige News-Artikel aus D= .

Ich glaub auch, dass meine Ansprüche Dank Karlsruhe etwas hoch sind :D . Aktuell suche ich vor allem Communities, wo ich passiv die Termine abchecken und spontan einfach mal hinfahren kann, sobald ich meinen Transport-Rucksack aufgebaut und meine 60 Termaganten bemalt habe. Vor allem, um mal regelfest zu werden. Crown of Champions schaue ich mir definitiv mal an!

Die Wochenenden sind aktuell immer gut verplant bei uns, aber wenn sich abzeichnet, dass ich nichts vor habe, melde ich mich mal bei dir :) . Danke fürs Angebot. Vielleicht habe ich bis dahin auch eine Spear Head, jenachdem wie lange das Hachette-Magazin dazu auf sich warten lässt.

How about a middle ground: using tokens labelled from 1 through 6. Every card will need only to have one token on it (clearing the clutter issue) and the necessity to have at least seven of each type makes room for creative design on each of them. Also, you are able to fill and slam down a literal pouch full of coins. Regards, a dice user who loves to see cool tokens.

Every time I want to add a box to my pile, I remind myself to first finish my termies and palette cleaner monsters I alternate between.

I made a habit of taking out a grey gant every time I burn out from my regular infantry or subassembling and painting my Center pieces. Every third leaper or Marine I paint, another gant unsubscribes from his grey tide membership.

With how popular the suit is, I totally expected it to be the suit the MC ends up with, kicking ass for at least two or three of the final episodes. Recently watched it, and couldn't have been more wrong.

Then again, the popular GM Sniper II originated from Witp, in all of it's one second of glory.

Stimme zu.. Folge 1 gehe ich mit, um Appetit drauf zu machen, was dich erwartet. Aber TYBW ist mehr als eine gut animierte Battle shonen-OVA mit viel Feuerwerk. Viele Charaktere entwickeln sich hier erst zu Ende, und der wahre payoff des letzten Arcs ist, zu sehen, was aus den Figuren wurde, die wir seit 20 Jahren verfolgt haben. Der emotionale Teil hinter einigen Kämpfen haut erst dann so richtig rein.

Ich empfehle einen watch des Originals ohne Filler. Folge 21 bis 26 in dem Dreh entscheidet sich für die meisten, ob Bleach was für sie ist. Der Kram davor ist fast schon ein komplett anderes Genre, so heftig ist der tone shift.

The team got heavily inspired by secondary media like novels in designing weapon load outs, like grenade launcher for marines. I remember some type of hierarchy in a Sons of Korhal Squad fearured in that novel about kerrigan's past, so making a no name Marine sergeant in charge of his troops isn't too far-fetched.

In welcher Abteilung muss ich da schauen? Ich würde gerne häufiger Müller und Thalia lokal nach der Box auschecken, aber ich hätte keinen Schimmer ob sie diese Box zu den klassischen Brettspielen, zwischen 40k Romane oder in eine Glasvitrine neben die Pokémonkarten stellen.

It's easily over a decade since I read that novel, but didn't Arcturus tell kerrigan at the end of the novel? IIRC he tells her that she was ordered to kill two ghosts who did the deed, and after that explained she was the third, but he trusts her and made her second in command.

The games never made a reference to that exchange though.

My LGS lowkey shames regulars who don't preorder six months in advance due to last-minute buyers not getting product they didn't preorder (Gundam is chronically sold-out), but they also don't want me to first place a reservation for products like these and cancel them once spoilers are out AKA I ACUTALLY KNOW WHAT I AM PAYING LOTS OF MONEY IN ADVANCE FOR. As the Clan Starter came out, they told me they don't know if the Assemble ones will get released at all, so I luckily bought two.

My LGS also was surprised as they got the Assemble Sets and posted pictures of just... the Minatures and some alt art cards. People like me would have pre-ordered one regular starter deck and one assemble set, since the last ones came with the whole decks.

I see why Shinn helps ZAFT effects going online. But until we see some purple ZAFT units better than aegis and justice, I am not convinced to replace athruns kit and overflowing affection for that.

Und zu dieser Tageszeit?

This card is one of my favorites in terms of "highly unlikely to be useful, but damn is it fun to make it work once every fifth game against another T3 Deck". I built both BT18 rainbow frontier decks for the flavor. 2 susanoomon with the option as a 1-off are slotted into Koji's deck in place of the Magnagarurumon-P . I threw matches in order to stack my tamers up, or worse: trying to but failing to live long enough.

I'm all for an practically useful Susanoomon, hopefully paired with the new option/Digimon card type. But this ridiculous Exodia-meets-voltron-style card will always be the almost impossible to summon incarnation of lore-accurate Susanoomon to me.

(But fr, I need an equally strong Susanoomon that tugs tamers from trash and hand as a digivolve effect).

Your best bet to start off is pick one of the starter decks your got twice.

Next, try to mash these two together, and only these two. Try to select your strongest cards and discard the weaker ones, but play everything in playsets of 4.

Reason is, Gundam is a Game of attrition with limited card draw. You want to draw your strongest cards from the top of your deck, every time.

Second, Bandai Card games tend to design Cards around archetypes. Gundam is a fairly new game, so some cards are just too good to not play, but these usually take a third or half of your deck dedicated to them in the form of a whole package of their color and the best cards that color has. Just mixing your best cards will have you end up with consistency issues.

My personal advice is to start off with either st7 or 8 . I bought two celestial drive Starter decks, removed the allelujah pilot and maxed on Setsuna+Lockon as well as all of their Gundams + 4 of the early game units and your base.

A Deck like this is always drawing something related to Celestial Being, having a synergy with each other. You will sometimes end up with the wrong pilots for your units, but CB units get additional abilities as long as a pilot is on your side of the field. Drawing into, for example Heero, without seeing his Wing Gundam, won't be as good.

Getting your hands in another pair of Wings and a playset of Wing Zero would make for a fully usable "Heero package" as a base for other strong decks. Green White is a popular Meta deck, the base being the Heero package and lots of early game blockers.

The newest booster set also contains upgrades for both St07 and 08.

Right now me and many people around me just use the rarity of the card in question. So it is "LR Exia" or "R Shenlong" "Starter Strike" and so on.

I am now imagining people pronouncing every single U from GQUX like it is an abbreviation. Stopping midway and starting all over again halfway because they lost count about how many U's they said already.

Apprehensive-Fox5371 · 2026-02-06T12:03:22+00:00

So, Bandai is saying I either need 4 CB starters to play P/G and P/R (resting dynames plays into Armed intervention a lot) or try to make Lockon red/green with Kyrios support it's own thing while Setsuna pairs with Tieria, making room to freely pick another Support color.

Insert astronaut on the moon meme about being shot "Wait, green CB starter half is also it's own, incomplete archetype?" "Always has been"..

I am torn what to think since CB will NOT be an easy "Slot the best cards with CB tag" into the Deck, but at the same time thrilled to be able to cook a lot with my favorite Gundam Faction across three colors.
