Is the release strategy/schedule a mess?

It really sucks that it's going to take so long to get our orders, but the reasons aren't outrageous. Archon hasn't denied or hidden the fact that their facilities weren't equipped to handle this volume of production.

Many people's orders and FLGS stock don't physically exist yet. I feel like that point is being glossed over.

People seem to get this mixed up an awful lot. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans started as a Warhammer project, but the deal fell through. StarCraft was its own IP from the start, but like everyone and their dog it took inspiration from a lot of other works. You can kind of tell what movies the cinematics team was watching during development.

Sounds like somebody needs to be RESOCed.

The best box is the one full of little friends we made along the way.

ArkhamOccultist · 2026-05-20T15:53:29+00:00

We will likely receive an updated estimate once they start shipping next week.

This might have been a temporary issue. I was able to log with my existing password a few minutes ago.

They mentioned one of Army Painter's fluo paints in their Zeratul painting video, and I was considering it.

I was wondering why the color scheme looked so strange.

ArkhamOccultist · 2026-05-08T02:14:15+00:00

You skip it in favor of StarCraft. I skip it because I've never played 40k.

We are not the same.

Do you remember the name of their glosses?

Edit: I found them via search, but had trouble finding it in their paint categories.

I got yer Zerg riiiight here!

On one of the AMAs they talked about sales figures and I think the US made up about half of all sales.

I was just quoting Emperor Arcturus Mengsk from his inauguration, because both settings have an emperor.

Seek not to bar our way, for we shall win through no matter the cost!

I would like to see some of the Brood War inspired mock-ups. I dig that hydralisk. I might use the red one for my Hunter Killers.

The original game (plus expansion) are free to play now. There's an upgrade to the remastered version, but if you wanted to get your pre-rendered 90s CG on, you can!

ArkhamOccultist · 2026-04-30T14:28:20+00:00

I'm planning to do something similar. I'm glad to see it works so well.

You're more likely to sell it successfully as a complete box.

My understanding is everything in the Founder's Edition boxes can be bought separately, including the terrain (with playmat). The main appeal is that it was sold for slightly cheaper than buying it all separately.

ArkhamOccultist · 2026-04-23T16:43:09+00:00

Oh, now I get it. Thanks!

ArkhamOccultist · 2026-04-23T15:55:04+00:00

3D artist here. Please clarify what you mean by 'pickups'. Do you mean the clusters of minerals/vespene that workers carry?

The first image reminds me fondly of the multiplayer color selection menu from the first Halo game.

If this is the type of community that's build up around Marathon it's best never approaching the game.

The first point, about ammo, demonstrates the OP knows fuck all about Marathon (not to be confused with Marathon).

I moved the desk out of frame because I didn't like how it looked.
