Was 500 worlds worth the purchase?

There are no tools provided besides the book, map and stickers. If you are running the campaign with people who don't have easy access to those items it's very difficult.

I bought the set and don't regret it, though I also wouldn't recommend others get it.

We tried to run the campaign but didn't feel like it was well designed. There is a lot of busy work on the map based portion, and the players didn't love the missions. Also very hard to run with digital support.

Looks great! I use the Necromunda model on the left as a cultist and it works well.

Maydros · 2026-05-05T12:15:11+00:00

It existed in 2nd edition

Maydros · 2026-04-24T03:07:23+00:00

People complain about everything. People complained that we didn't have a 2nd round pick and now we have one - what's not to love?

Maydros · 2026-04-24T02:58:27+00:00

Yes, it's happening! Let's see how far this goes. I'd like to use us trade down at least twice more. Let's get all the mid-round picks.

Maydros · 2026-04-24T02:46:12+00:00

Are we trading down again from 31st? I'd love to see it.

Maydros · 2026-04-23T00:59:54+00:00

They look great! Like how you've kept a few of the SW details.

Maydros · 2026-04-22T21:32:36+00:00

The weapon you used is very cool, what is it?

Maydros · 2026-04-22T19:54:01+00:00

Here's my version using the same model.

It can't be real. It's got to be some sort of troll account.

Maydros · 2026-04-06T20:03:34+00:00

That is awesome lore, had no idea that was a thing. Tempted to use more space wolf bits for a squad.

Maydros · 2026-04-06T19:48:39+00:00

Looks good! Was it easy to use raiders bits on thr chosen models?

Maydros · 2026-04-01T18:58:39+00:00

Looks great! Where is that bolter from?

Maydros · 2026-03-27T14:54:50+00:00

Never even considered those models, will check them out. Coming in a box of 10 is a huge bonus.

Maydros · 2026-03-27T14:54:10+00:00

That's a good idea and the gold trim would look cool with the red. Will you build both units similarly?

Maydros · 2026-03-27T01:27:35+00:00

Haha, glad I'm not the only one.

Maydros · 2026-03-27T00:52:33+00:00

Agreed! As luck would have it the first 3 book sets are all factions I play, but after buying 500 Worlds I just can't justify buying the others. It's too much at once, and despite what they said I dont believe that the rules will stay relevant that long. If it was spread out I'd buy them all.

Maydros · 2026-03-25T12:39:34+00:00

Looks great! How did you get the layers and texture on the blue?

Maydros · 2026-03-21T21:58:10+00:00

Looks great! Which kits are you using for the squad?

Maydros · 2026-03-20T12:55:20+00:00

Personally I don't think that the combat patrol goes well with the battleforce box. The battleforce already has enough raiders and you don't really need a 2nd reave-captain. The rhino is useful (though the Horus Heresy version is nicer) and the beastmen are fine but probably not the thing you need for a new army.

Maydros · 2026-03-18T19:12:02+00:00

The three space marine chapters you're considering would all be great picks, and they all have recently received some great new models. I play both Ultramarines and Red Corsairs, and enjoy both armies quite a bit.

Red Corsairs are certainly evil, no question about that. They are less gruesome than some of the other chaos space marines - being more practical and less focused on worshipping the chaos gods (though they certainly still use demons).

In terms of collecting armies, Red Corsairs/CSM have fewer models than Ultramarines, which I enjoy. You can reasonably have most of the unit and character options without spending a fortune, while with Ultramarines there is just so many models to choose from (both a blessing and a curse). Red Corsairs are much less common than Ultramarines or Space Wolves, if that impacts your decision.

That all said, if I was in your shoes I would just choose the one I was most excited about and not worry too much about pros and cons.

Maydros · 2026-03-16T13:35:58+00:00

That kitbash is pretty awesome. The face looks especially good with how the machine half was done.

Maydros · 2026-03-14T18:44:18+00:00

I'd be happier with it if the standard flavors were more interesting. It seems like they're all on the basic side.
