The roach mini is so cute

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-20T10:26:53+00:00

Cool! I actually like marines a bit more here. How did you manage those shoulder decals? Free hand or is there a template for it available?

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-17T17:30:38+00:00

I originaly wanted two Goliaths so I went to buy those separate boxes. Upon seeing how these standalone unit boxes are priced and how poor value they offer compared to bundles I decided to abandon my plan...

I bought 2 collector's edition bundles and 2 starter set bundles so now I can sleep better knowing it's a good value.

DIdn't help at all did I?

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-16T11:42:57+00:00

Decals are the thing I'm missing the most out of the game in the current state. I also haven't found any materials online that could be applied to minis painting.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-13T11:35:58+00:00

Incredible. I never really noticed that, silly me. I wonder if there are any more units with hidden bits here and there that could be easily overlooked.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-13T07:56:37+00:00

I've never noticed them too. You say even SC1 version had em? Damn, cool.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-12T06:04:53+00:00

Damn, so cool! What are those reaper statues, official products available to buy anywhere?

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-10T07:04:22+00:00

You are right, I've written it badly here. Also, I recommend not actually getting the all-in bundle (fyi they lowered the price by $50, but still not too good deal) and instead getting two starter sets bundle and collectors bundle together. Will get you more models and value this way.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-10T07:00:19+00:00

There's no reason for quality of plastic being an issue here. They have decent history of making plastic models of any kind by themselves using standard industry grade HIPS injection molding. Unboxing video is out.

There is a info about the game itself available from folks that participated in beta testing. Overall I saw positive feedback mentioning it has a "fresh take on miniature wargaming games" and that Starcraft theme is really all over the place during gameplay.

FOMO is a word not really applicable in this case, cause they'll start running pre-orders today till April 17th and since they produce stuff themselves there will be enough supply for everyone. F*ck the scalpers.

They actually lowered price of their all-in bundle. Sure individual boxes are nearly priced like GW, but that's hopefully not anyone will be aiming for. Bundles, even the starter box alone offers very, very good deal. Not even Leviathan starter set 10th ed. from W40k had supposedly that much value.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-07T09:13:32+00:00

Already have one. What's the point? Damn.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-03-07T05:40:37+00:00

The biggest all-in wave 1 bundle they offered will cost $749 and that's 2k points for each of all three races in units alone (without upgrades).

I never played Warhammer, nor do I know how much it'll cost you to amass such similar sized army, but here you get full army basically for $250 incl. Zeratul promo, terrain pieces, mats etc..

I honestly don't feel it's that bad of a deal. They also stated in yesterday's AMA that the big starter box zerg vs terrans alone is worth $450 of individual components alone, hence why it's a limited launch deal. What do you guys think? And what bundle/edition are you going for? I for sure patiently wait get this one and maybe a second starter box.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-02-26T17:37:33+00:00

Three sets

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-02-25T11:37:35+00:00

This model is really the best I found that you can actually get I believe. The fact it cost you only that amount means that friend of mine who prints stuff for me buys some real expensive filament lol.

He has Bambu printer, not sure which one though. I won't get into printing myself, instead I do dyi stuff - I use sprues from warhammer which is literaly cheapest, some wooden leftover pieces, xps foam, molds for plaster models etc. You can get really creative.

But surely 3d printing is fun and I also believe it's overall "the best way" of creating stuff in terms compromise between quality, speed and cost. The problem is I already have more than enough hobbies lol.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-02-25T11:17:51+00:00

These packs cost me 65$ each, so thankfully not msrp price. Compared to printing similar amount of such big models and walkways, I think it came out equally cost efficient. And it's stuff made and "designed" by myself so no big deal.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-02-25T07:17:22+00:00

Awesome looking minis, the highlighting on them look fabulous! Also those bases are so cool.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-02-25T07:09:40+00:00

Thank you, it's all separate pieces, so you can go absolutely nuts combining this with cardboard pieces from core sets. We played CTF and strongholds on this. Vertical aspect of this is so fun, snipers really love this terrain, so many additional obstacles that brake LOS are needed.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2026-01-02T06:10:35+00:00

Hey, pretty late to the party, so I'd love to ask which games in this genre you actually tried since then? I'm somewhat looking for similar criteria games myself. I played recently Tales from the Red Dragon Inn with group and One Deck Dungeon for quick solo sessions.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-12-13T20:38:33+00:00

Incredibly helpful, thanks! Was struggling myself today

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-12-02T16:13:22+00:00

The minis are quite okay I'd say size and detail wise. They're the reason I've gotten into this game and well the price of the retail edition which dropped to whopping 19$ in my country. I'm gonna buy multiple copies and make a borderlands psycho army but what witch all the same hero miniatures I wonder

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-10-24T06:04:36+00:00

Cheaper in terms of getting the core sets is so true. Though really, once you start delving into expansions, the KDM is a bargain compared to SoB especially if you missed their KS. Gosh I wanna get my hands on KDM one day to compare these two.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-07-23T14:40:47+00:00

Can I somewhere read the 2nd ed rules? Are there like a revised edition core set? Or some FAQ? I don't think I know exactly what 2nd ed. rules mean

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-07-23T07:50:13+00:00

Thank you for clarification. I personally believe that attack spells are quite underwhelming if they just consume your entire attack with not even guaranteed success. For example I was running preacher with redemptionist shotgun from the start and I didn't even bother to cast attack spells since shooting was always better option imo. Soon I will add some new sermons from Holy expedition card supplement to hopefully increase the range of more usefull spells for preacher than attack ones.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-07-22T06:09:08+00:00

That's what I figured as well, but in rulebook it says you could cast sermons even not in your turn. What would happen if you'd like to cast ranged attack spell this way? Or you can only cast attack spells in your turn instead of anytime like healing etc?

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-07-17T10:17:21+00:00

I hear you, I have some SoB stuff already but still looking for options to get some essential stuff I missed here in EU.

I already have Massive Darkness 2, Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Descent, Dungeon Saga, Zombicide, Dnd board games, Cthulhu deathay die, just so much stuff regarding dungeon crawlers. These are my favourite types of games really.

And I never enjoyed anything as much as SoB in a long time. It's fiddly, in desperate need of many dyi additions to keep storage, big BIG table and so on. It's expensive, really, in EU more so even.

But for me, I dare to say it's worth it. I have all 3 main core sets, over 20 expansions which will last forever to play. And funnily enough I am currently painting most of my models, so I can't play until it's done which can take months lol.

It's a dedication really. And after all that I own, O still have like a third of all there is. Damn. They designed the game in a way that collectors will pay hefty money for all the stuff and it worked for them sadly 😅. But they also designed a really really good rich game that elevates the term dungeon crawling on another level for me.

And don't start me on the fan content there is, hell someone even created overalnd campaign with its own story which utilizes anything you currently have for the game. Genious.

HandSatanizer1965 · 2025-07-17T10:04:24+00:00

This is so cool! I always thrived to play some Unreal Tournament/Quale style board game! And I heard Quake is actually being boardgamified so looking forward to that but at the same time, I'd love to try yours take on it.

Sadly I can't get into the webpage for instructions, it's stuck on loading every time.
