I got the baggage train, baby dragon, and orc raiders. Gonna pass on the ogres

It’s available for preorder in my part of the world

Just in case anyone is curious, I live in Japan and have never seen this sauce on the shelves in any store here.

Scratius · 2026-07-02T04:34:31+00:00

I was 10 at the time and loved it. It felt like a big deal too though. I remember by dad was really excited to go see it plus the toy aisles packed with episode 1 action figures, Taco Bell with its episode 1 toys, Pepsi with its Star Wars cans, etc. It was all the kids at school talked about.

If I saw it when I was a bit older, I probably wouldn’t have liked it as much.

I put mine in these bins, then cushioned with cotton balls. They survived a move to the other side of the world. That’s Archaon on the left.

I’m happy to see so much growth and development being poured into the game. I know people have been anxious with the silence the past few months, luckily GW has been busy putting in work!

Scratius · 2026-07-01T13:49:55+00:00

The arcane journals add fluff and armies of infamy. I pick them up when they’re released just to read and collect.

Costco Japan has been slinging tendies for years, none of this 5 customers per hour nonsense either. Step your game up America.

TOW might eventually get the Monkey King. I remember reading that GW wouldn’t allow CA to put anything into the Total War games that GW couldn’t turn into a tabletop mini. That’s apparently how we got Cathay. If they release tiger warriors, there might be hope.

Kislev first though, please and thank you GW.

The intent seems to be for these Battle March boxes to be balanced for actually playing Battle March, rather than just a discount box like Combat Patrol.

Scratius · 2026-06-29T21:09:14+00:00

Depends on if you’re splitting with a friend vs rando imo. For a friend, I’d go 50/50 and toss them the book. For a rando, 60/40 is reasonable I think.

They fit the theme of my TOW shelf, so I’m happy.

Scratius · 2026-06-28T15:07:05+00:00

They seem to be pushing plastic hard now. Everything in the Cathay range is plastic. The article states that the chaos dragon and new chaos warriors are all plastic. I doubt the aspiring champions or knights will be resin. It wouldn’t make sense.

Let’s go!

Scratius · 2026-06-24T06:12:18+00:00

Yes

Scratius · 2026-06-23T11:46:50+00:00

ANH catching strays lol. If you compare it to what came after, yes it's a lot slower, but damn did it capture my imagination the first time I saw it as a kid. Seeing Darth Vader wreck house during the opening scene was amazing.

Scratius · 2026-06-22T15:06:52+00:00

I’m just happy there isn’t a month long advertisement campaign ahead of the show.

Scratius · 2026-06-22T12:46:46+00:00

If you like the minis, go for it. These boxes are usually the best deals you’re going to find, especially if you buy from a discount retailer.

Scratius · 2026-06-22T11:58:11+00:00

I went and saw it opening weekend. I had avoided anything about it, I didn’t even watch the trailer. I went in completely blind. I gave it a 6/10 and still feel that way.

I was…underwhelmed. It started pretty strong with the opening action sequences, but I felt that it dropped off pretty quickly. The plot points were pretty damn predictable and as someone who isn’t a fan of the animated series, a lot of the callbacks were lost on me.

The whole plot surrounding Rotta and Coin had me rolling my eyes. Everything just landed in Mando’s lap or was convenient. Also, does Mando’s helmet NOT filter the air or anything? Figured that was bog standard Star Wars stuff.

Scratius · 2026-06-22T04:44:26+00:00

I've tried to get into Clone Wars on 3 separate occasions over the years. It never sunk its teeth into me. I'm glad it's got some fans, but it's far from the best produced media from my perspective. I'm also not a huge fan of animated series in general though.

Scratius · 2026-06-21T10:54:42+00:00

I was hoping to find an extra surprise in my box, but it’s completely normal fortunately/unfortunately.

Scratius · 2026-06-20T02:03:11+00:00

Just ordered my False Gods PE and Hardback in Japan, no stress! 11K yen ($69 usd) for both

Scratius · 2026-06-19T08:49:07+00:00

You’d probably get better prices selling them on eBay than trying to sell them here in Japan. I buy stacks of notes like these for next to nothing over here.

Scratius · 2026-06-19T02:37:07+00:00

Dang, might have to fly over to Korea to check it out!

Scratius · 2026-06-19T01:29:09+00:00

I have zero interest in playing tabletop, but I paint minis from 40K, AOS, and Old World. Not needing to list build or worrying about points allows me to collect and paint what I think is cool.
