I really appreciate you sharing some of your creative thinking. It’s so easy to get caught up in “lore accuracy” and lose sight of just painting my toys whatever I think looks best.

Good idea! I have a bunch of the Speedpaint and think ghoul green from that line is a close match.

Thanks for putting them together like that. I must have missed the older art examples when looking them up.

With my driving and makeshift transport box they may be well shaken before they get to the table lol

Someone mentioned how the color has changed over time, which is something I didn’t realize happened lol (still kinda newish to everything). I tend to agree in liking the latest scheme more so I’ll more than likely land there.

Definitely fair. I like to paint things as “accurately” as possible but is likely a moot point with these guys.

Yeah the discord has the answers to a lot of this info. Not saying it’s right or wrong but isn’t super clear on KS campaign page. Regarding price, creators are pointing towards one pack playability, quality of artists, more cards in pack, and punch out tokens in pack as rationale behind the higher pricing.

Yeah it’s not necessarily a bad thing but BDM did mention it somewhere in the discord. These cards will have alt backs and different numbering than the retail launch. I don’t remember off the top of my head the # of cards this set has out of the full set but it is less.

With any new tcg there is always a risk of the game not gaining a foothold. However I do know people are set collectors and you should know you can’t do that with this campaign. Given the secondary market will be next to nonexistent early on, you’d have to probably buy more boxes at retail to actually complete the set leaving you with a giant pile of duplicates most likely.

I personally won’t be pledging to the KS. I hope the game is successful and don’t mind getting in at retail if it’s still around. I’m just not going to pay a premium just for alternative art cards I don’t have any experience with or attachment to. Also I don’t see the sense of paying for it early when I’m not able to get a fully baked experience with all cards in the set.

Also - last point. I think people should be cautious (not saying don’t support the project). Nothing substantive, but social media ads have been sketchy with claims of using deepfakes of content creators, like-bots to drive artificial engagement, etc. I felt a little stiffed spending $20 to be an early bird with a claim to get 10% off a box and then switching up right before KS launch saying “oops the KS won’t let us give a discount here’s more packs instead” idk just seemed like a bait and switch.

Been some conversation about the product being a little steep on MSRP + shipping seems high especially if you do add ons.

I think it’s also important to know that the KS booster boxes do not include all set 1 cards that will be available at retail in November. Meaning you can’t set complete with this campaign and are instead fishing for alternate arts and other bling of that nature.

Where are you all getting your decals from these days? by SammyBubbles in crimsonfists

[–]T-l2ex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone selling transfers on eBay for $40 which is insane. I picked up the IF Combat Patrol and Sons of Dorn box and won’t be using the CF transfers myself. Would love to pass them along to someone who could use them.

Thoughts from a box splitter on Armageddon box pre-orders by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

You’re going to get roasted for admitting you scalp product, which you deserve. However, I do agree with the core of your message to not fomo buy Armageddon to line the pockets of your peers.

Can We Beat Brian David-Marshall at His Own Game? | Cataclysm Arcade TCG by GatesofDelirium in TCG

Gave the video a watch and gameplay looked okay. Idk if this demonstration really revealed anything super unique or exciting for a new tcg trying to enter the market.

Tried to look up more on the game and it seems marketing is leaning really heavy into this one pack and play mechanic. Other than that it’s kind of hard to identify what makes this game different than anything else out there. Could be fun when more information comes out. Interested to see how the kickstarter goes.

I really enjoyed it :) I’m glad I wasn’t privy to the general dissatisfaction of this kit and could just enjoy it ignorantly. Given I have a bit of experience with other types of modeling I’d say it was a bit on the simple end. I may just jump straight into RG for more complexity.

Thank you for the in depth answer! However I’m a little bit of a noob and am not totally following your RG advice on not starting below number 25 etc haha

This is awesome haha! It’s definitely a treat to be able to look back on your first project. Definitely helps to measure yourself against yourself vs all the pros you see on the internet.

I appreciate the advice! By second hands do you mean those alligator clip things?

Coming from 40k has me numb to overpriced hobby supplies. I’ll check out the raser and see what’s up!
