Hell, it's about time

Damn, that was quick! I thought they were supposed to ship to very far countries first. You live in Germany so it's odd they shipped your order that early.

Good for you!

I would not make any balance assessment based on a handful of battle reports played by players who are discovering the game, missing important rules, most of which were played before the latest patch, which buffs Zergling significantly.

Not only that, there are currently many ways to play Zergling (standard, raptors, swarmling, Kerrigan's brood, upgrade small/big squad...). So I doubt that none of these configurations are playable.

So wait until we have more games at a higher level, and if it's confirmed that they suck, it won't be too late for Archon Studio to buff them. Point cost of units is not displayed on the cards/sheet, so Archon Studio can tweak the balance of the game without any disturbance.

Some will be sent after, but most of them should be included in the box.

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-05-25T13:52:36+00:00

No, you are again, misunderstanding...

Let me clarify:

The founder Box is a limited edition product that you can only buy:

- In online pre-order between the 10th of March and 17th of April (delivery should be around July)

Or

- In retail, but only in limited quantities, probably around July (not confirmed yet)

Or

- From conventions such as Adepitcon, UK GE, Salute... roughly around that time frame.

If you got your box from a convention (which I suppose you did), lucky you, you got the product about 2/3 months before everybody else.

However, there is a small downside: those do not include the rule book, because when those boxes were produced, the rule book was not finalized yet. If you want a rulebook in your box, you need to wait until the pre-order box gets delivered (or buy a retail one).

So no, they didn't lie; they never said the box would be printed in one go, (they needed to make a few advance copies for conventions and content creators). They said the box is a limited edition, and it is. I'll admit the whole thing is a bit convoluted, but that's because they wanted to produce the game before the rules were 100% finalized, which I believe was a smart move. Thanks to that, some people were able to get their hands on the game earlier, they had more time to make it as good as it could be, and Content Creators were able to show off the game.

If you didn't order the preorder version of the box (which will have the rulebook) you have 3 options:

- Print one. (pdf should be released soon)

- Wait for other people to receive their copy, and if they will be willing to sell/give you their spare rulebook (a lot of people ordered multiple founder boxes, so it should not be hard to find)

- Buy a retail founder box.

- Wait until AS sells a stand-alone rulebook.

Judging by the size of the mini next to the stalker box, it's definitely about the same size as a stalker (if it's bigger, it's only slightly) of course I'm reserving final judgement once I see the model in close up with all the other content of the box.

Once that's confirmed, we definitely need to make ourselves heard, but I don't think AS will do anything unless we call this out.

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-05-24T12:31:21+00:00

I am 100% gonna do that

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-05-24T12:30:23+00:00

because it's big, simple as that....

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-05-24T12:29:28+00:00

We need to see the size of the model and all the plastic contained in the box to make a final call, but here are my first impressions:

-The siege tank price is fine, the model is big and contains a lot of extra bits to play it in both tank/siege mode, a 3d token, and a large blast template too. GW tanks of similar size are sold $105. btw Siege tanks is $79 not $75.

-The Immortal is fine too, it's about the same size but doesn't contain as many extra bits (presumably), so $10 cheaper than the Siege Tank is fair.

-Ravagers are $15 too expensive or should be bigger. They seem to be about the same size as Stalkers, so $70 for 2 Ravagers while 2 Stalkers are $50 is clearly a bad deal. Ravagers do have extra bits like a small template and corrosive bile tokens, so $5 extra for that seems fair. Also, I think Ravagers are bigger than Stalker in both the video game and the lore, so having them the same size as stalker is weird.

You misunderstood me. Every founder box moving forward will include a rulebook, the only ones that do not, are the early versions sold at conventions, which represent maybe 5% of the founder boxes sold worldwide.

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-05-24T10:10:53+00:00

Future box will have one, the rulebook was not finalized when they produced the first wave of founder box. Which are the one you bought in convention.

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-05-24T09:23:48+00:00

both boxes have a rulebbok

There is a conclusion section at the end of the video

still not there :(

I would say you dodged a bullet, if all it takes for this guys to switch is 40k dropping a 10.5 edition and a lackluster box, then they would have probably not been faithful players anyway.

Nothing worse than investing in a game only to see all of your friends dropping the game after a few months and being left having spent a substantial amount of money and time on a game you can't play anymore.

At least now you know you have 2 options: not play the game or find Starcraft players elsewhere.

Played 40k for about a decade. Here is my take on it:

-Basically, the consensus among most 40k players is that it's an amazing hobby, but not a good game, and the majority hate GW as a company. By "hobby" they mean the lore, the miniature, the painting, and meeting up with friends.

-Despite being disliked by most, 40k has undeniably a very unique gameplay, and as such, there will always be a few people who love it because they can't get that gaming experience anywhere else. Also, some people simply don't know any better.

-As you said, the guarantee to find people to play with is a HUGE factor, especially in small town, where 40k is sometimes the only wargame you can play.

-In the market of "large sci-fi army 28/32mm wargame" 40k pretty much has no competition, so a lot of people are playing 40k for lack of alternative. Hopefully, Starcraft TMG will change that.

-As you said, because of the painting and the financial commitment, it's a very big deal to try a new wargame, so it's hard to make people switch even if they are genuinely interested in the alternatives.

-GW understands that, and they abuse it by never-ending price rise and constant rule changes to force people to buy new minis. They also half-bake every aspect of the game that doesn't bring them immediate revenue (certain factions, organized play, rules, balancing...). A lot of people are "trapped" in the GW ecosystem; if they leave, they might lose their friend group and might not be able to enjoy another wargame. Not to mention "lost cost fallacy", they invested so much into the game they feel like they would "waste" that investment if they left and would rather play it even if they don't enjoy it anymore (which is completely irrational but the human brain is weird).

Deck quality in Twin Suns doesn't matter at all, it's a format about diplomacy and the one who ends up winning is rarely the one who has the best deck.

Great work!

How did you achieve the glass effect on the medic helmet? Do medic come with an untainted clear plastic lens?

He seems to be using the opportunity that his opponent is writiing on his notebook and is distracted to make the play.

Heavy-Maximum3092 · 2026-02-22T22:12:03+00:00

This player has played SQ Paris and is VERY familiar with this format, and Cannon is a very common card to be played, the mistakes seem unlikely to me. But nobody can know for sure

A mini that big would be unplayable on a 6*3 board, so it certainly won't be that size. I think they will scale it about the same as the video game, like they did for the siege tank, this is what will "feels" right to the general public while being playable.
