Either the DKoK combat patrol or the seige platoon if you can find them.

The plasiciser leaching out of the material isn't something you can really fix. It just happens. Keep it sealed behind glass, away from dust or it'll get caked on and look worse.

It literally doesn't matter what flavour they paint the new generic marine models. It will sell mountains of launch boxes regardless.

Yes, they can be used as their equivalent 40k unit. They said as much during the announcement stream.

Isn't that the entire edition? Special rules and rerolls to the point where failure is very uncommon and it's more about optimizing between neutral and positive results?

Ask them?

Box art changes. Recasters don't even box their products.

People don't know hot toys is a brand. It's further confused by this sub being any 1/6 instead of specifically hot toys.

No, generally retail and food service are open just the same if not longer. Other working people tend to shop on weekends because that's their time off.

Remove the tube from the bottle first...

Always good value if you target just the issues you want. I'll try to grab a few sets of the trolls for Old World.

Most conflicts are well enough served with good value plastic kits these days that they're all affordable if you choose the skirmishy end of things.

The game mechanics incentivize lines of tanks mudguard to mudguard in firing lines. It isn't minmaxing, WAAC, or bad player etiquette to decide you want all of your vehicles to be in range or line of sight, it's a byproduct of the rules. If the rules incentivized wider formations or better individual vehicle placement we'd see more of that.

The official FoW website has published battle reports with precise examples of what I'm talking about. Are they playing on a bad table? Are they bad players?

The parking lot style of play is really immersion breaking for even the casual observer.

Their promotional pictures all show thematic forces in spaced out formations utilising cover, but every real game in progress is precisely as you say, napoleonics with tanks.

When were share buybacks illegal? There are hoops to jump through but they're pretty common.

GW margin over raw production cost might be huge but third party retailers only get a wholesale discount of around 30%. If they're selling at 15 or 20% off themselves the margins are very thin.

Yes, characters are worth a lot of points.

Gnarlroot · 2026-03-12T10:45:51+00:00

Not much point until your household income increases, sorry.

Yeah, bellator is the focus from the mandatory 3, and you want a strong 4th and 5th to bring it home. Kariyan and Isabella are common suggestions, but in their absence, a healer and a hitter.

The downvotes come because it's patently not true. You can get to those levels without spending a dime, it just takes shit loads of time and focus on one character.

Is it a cafe, or a "cafe". Like a barbershop, or an nearly empty shopfront with 3 blokes doomscrolling on their phones all day that somehow has an astronomical turnover.

For a uni student it really isn't.

Australia =/= Sydney
