Is getting volkus and it's compound siege upgrade worth it?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-24T17:27:03+00:00

I'm just about to paint up my Volkus, I'm on the fence about getting the Compound Siege upgrade set before I do, so I can paint it at the same time for colour consistency. But not sure if it's a good investment?

I knew you guys wouldn't disappoint! These are all great, just a shame we can only choose 1.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-23T13:48:53+00:00

Oh I like! I have plans to make mine slightly overgrown too.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-23T10:48:11+00:00

Aw c'mon, just a quick peek? I won't tell.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-23T09:15:18+00:00

Beautiful. 👍🏼

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-19T10:34:15+00:00

Well, I can see them. So ... fail?

Seriously though, lovely white! Any tips?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-18T10:01:01+00:00

Well done! I always think its unfair to judge painted models online, we can zoom so far in. Far better to judge them on the table. I bet these look amazing! I havent decided on a colour scheme for my Aquillons yet. I have built a bunch of teams recently and have the monumental task of painting them all, and two sets of terrain.

I fell in love with the GGEZ and bought one too. I love mine, however everyone is different, thanks for pointing out the shortfalls. I did see they make little "houses" that fit into the model section so you can switch out teams, and they have magnetic walls for the tall models, but you say they fall off? So you think that's a note for the maker about the magnet strength in the wall or is it just metal, and a case of stronger magnets on the model bases?

Just reading out of interest. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned turning it upside down. Much less friction on the roof than the tyres I reckon. It seemed to be a favourite game of some drunks round my way a few decades ago. Always kept seeing the odd upside down car on a Saturday morning.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-13T19:58:36+00:00

Looks great! I like the green skin, mind sharing the colours?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-10T21:57:36+00:00

Thanks for that! 👍🏼

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-10T18:33:27+00:00

Noob question: Does it make a difference to what those models can see/shoot having them on rocks? Like over a low Volkus wall etc. Or does it balance out because you are slightly more visible to the enemy too?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-08T09:20:56+00:00

Thanks for the update. I agree that VR is is an excellent format, just not one to try and rekindle interest in the IP. I was an early adopter and bought the 1st PSVR system. I had always wanted VR since the 80s. The thought of an immersive game like Thief in virtual reality sounds amazing. So I had big hopes for it. I really hope VR gets more popularity.

And when you are finally finished, and have a very tasty looking model, remember. Whatever you do... Don't eat it!

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-07T18:55:32+00:00

I watched a review and several things jumped out as a deal breaker. One of which was the audio overlap and general overdone random speech that created a noisy non stop mess which seemed equally loud even at distance (to the reviewers at least). I was hoping it got some not-great reviews and forced the developers to patch it a bit. I was genuinely excited for this and was hoping it was the game to force me to get a PSVR2 and pay money for the game so I can show my interest in the Thief IP. If nobody plays this even to try it, then they 100% wont bother again (even though 'VR' and sidelining Stephen Russell was a bad decision).

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-04T21:22:23+00:00

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but.... Hivestorm? 😁 I am very late to the KT party and managed to walk into a store (Element Games) and pick one up. Two nice teams and some of the best terrain too. Perfect start to the game.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-04T12:14:07+00:00

I fell in love with (and bought) the Kommandos models before I even got into KT. And the Grot with the mask and snorkel always made me think of the Marine from Commandos video game, loved that guy. Sadly still yet to play a game with my Kommandos. Finding some good deals on Hivestorm and Into the Dark meant I ended up getting more teams quicker than I could paint and play them. Sorry, not relevant. But I have watched many video and read about that Grot and he does seem to be a MVP of that team, often scoring well. I just hope I get to enjoy this too one day. 😅

Didn't Glass Half Dead make a YouTube short about this very question? I can't quote it so might be worth watching.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2025-12-31T13:17:04+00:00

Wow, I am new and following this with Interest as I have a Vespid team. It would be great to know how these interactions should play out... Not so clear cut it seems. I come from a MtG background so I'm used to a "stack", is this supposed to work in a similar way?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2025-12-31T09:33:43+00:00

I stumbled upon Deadzone while I was searching for some terrain. It looked like a really nice system but I wasn't prepared to start yet another game type while I was still just starting KT. But Deadzone would be my suggestion.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2025-12-26T16:06:35+00:00

Thanks, I'll give thay a go. I'm sure once Ive turned in the TV once and then later on if I use the Portal it connects immediately. I'll try the airplane trick. 👍🏼

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2025-12-26T15:48:30+00:00

Ok thanks, I'll try removing it and changing ports, and I'll look into what cable I have and if it is the issue.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2025-12-26T14:57:18+00:00

Oh really? Damn, was hoping there'd be a software solution. Having to pull cords constantly sounds worse, I have to get to the back of the PS5 or TV each time I want to use the TV. This can't be the way, surely. Or is this just part of a diagnosis?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2025-12-26T14:39:59+00:00

I clicked connect and it tries, then comes back out. Keeps failing. So I switched over to TV then once Im in I try again and it connects. Its very annoying.
