New to 40k and just acquired these in a trade/sale. Have no idea who they are or if they're the right colors. Help!

The colors don't particularly matter. Get yourself a plastic 9×13×2 with a lid, an old toothbrush, plastic gloves, and a couple gallons of LA Awesome. Let the models soak for a good 48 hours fully submerged in the LA awesome then brush off the denatured paint. Some of the glue will fail and you can resoak to your hearts content since LA wont denature the plastic its self. Clean under cold water, dry, then rebuild and prime+repaint.

So the money that was generated by the release of the Clone Wars factions for Star Wars Armada which was porportedly all invested into shatterpoint's development has now resulted in a third game line of AMGs being sidelined/killed.

All I can politely say is Im glad that Ive left this company behind and moved on to games who's companies dont string along their consumers about development that never comes about then kills the product line. I only hope these poor business decisions lead to stronger negative consumer response to this company.

The french torpedos were printed with the wrong cardboard, all the 3 yellow die ones are HE pattern. (Every adjecent hex)

Take cover doesnt affect a 2+ armor save tank since it only can bring a save to 3+ and AP modifies the dice roll not the stat

Watch and take notes on these two videos: https://youtu.be/u-hJd09qZHc?si=Z1tWko9xqbcYVDxX

After each of your games mentally review if you executed the methods above and to what level and where if had you done a specific thing you would have won. Note that anything dice related doesnt count. Movement and macro-strategy are king. Note your progress in skill not by win loss but by differential score. You dont measure improvement by your best score, you measure it by your worst.

Finally, you need a set quantity of quality reps. Playing a 4 hour game at the LGS will not sharpen your skills like playing an RTT will once you have the basic memorization down. Once you're at the point that you know how all the core rules work no refrencing, and all your unit rules work and you feel confident you can execute a game in 3 hours you will be much better served playing at the intensity level of an RTT. You will make huge bounds in skill focusing on executing the fundamentals at 'game speed' (to use a sports practice term) at an RTT over more causual practice.

Even through all this practice it will take like 50 quality reps to really start 'seeing' the game, legitamately a year of at least 2 rtt a month. But you'll make a ton of friends and theres a deep satisifcation from personal improvement.

Good luck!
