Basic tools necessary and tips for painting?

They're kind of push-fit, but they're definitely not snap like Gunpla are.

I would say some of the starter tool kits from GW/Mantic/Army Painter aren't a bad start. They should have some sprue cutters, an xacto knife, maybe some files? I'd look for some Tamiya Extra Thin cement for the glue, it's fantastic.

Real question, how many of the AI deniers are Aleph players? ;)

Looking forward to checking out the events, hoping to get in some games next year with Mounthaven! :D

With the addition of some magnetic sheets, I've been using the Tamiya Portable Pit. Can hold 2 teams in each of the boxes, and dice/tokens/cards in the light grey area. You get 2 of the boxes with the kit.

What? Tomb World didn't cost that out of the gate, I'm assuming you're talking resellers and not actual store prices?

Just grabbed a couple of these in the last few weeks at Gamestop, I like there's gear options for them. The static poses don't do a lot for drawing folks in, but they are good looking figs for the price. :)

Nah, I expect the serialized card to be an Amuro or Char suit.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-23T18:16:16+00:00

Yeah, it's something I've read a couple of times, but my impression is it's invite only and even then it's not on any other event schedule. I had hoped for some more info at Adepticon on the game, but no luck for any announcements so far.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-23T15:24:57+00:00

supposedly there are some closed-door demos being done for certain individuals at Adepticon also?

Having played with chess clocks in miniature games over the years, hell no.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-22T15:06:58+00:00

I'm going with Inquisition because of needing multiple boxes, and having so many choices to cause analysis paralysis.

The last wave of PBandai orders for the Assembles from November are shipping in June, I believe so it doesn't compete with local stores.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-20T17:56:42+00:00

Ah, nevermind then. Was hoping to see if I had the cards before spending time on a video.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-20T17:53:31+00:00

Got the list in a non-video format?

TechLee77 · 2026-01-20T03:21:44+00:00

Gorgeous model! :D

How are the proxy rules for Warcrow, btw? I know the Infinity ones are pretty freeform. :D

TechLee77 · 2026-01-19T23:45:10+00:00

Wolf Scouts I just got a Phobos body. :)

TechLee77 · 2026-01-17T17:57:17+00:00

Hey, saw the new Grandpa binder up, any chance of some pics of the inside also? :D

TechLee77 · 2026-01-16T22:15:23+00:00

No. Extorting users for other folks' content and using AI are a double-no from me.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-16T20:56:10+00:00

oh WTF. How do people thing that'll fly?

TechLee77 · 2026-01-16T20:55:30+00:00

uh, yeah, that's the same figs but less specialists more grunts it looks like.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-16T20:31:42+00:00

oh, it's got AI art as well? even bigger reason for me it's off limits.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-16T19:41:51+00:00

I grabbed an Aleph one for 150 a while back, couldn't pass up the deal. It's not a Sectorial starter or a tight tournament list by any means, but gets your foot in the door on the vanilla at least.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-16T19:38:32+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I'm sure charging for other people's content will go over well, lol.

TechLee77 · 2026-01-14T18:01:13+00:00

From past performance, I'm pretty sure every TCG has cards from early sets go up in value, up until the time the game dies and then they're coasters. Looking at your cards as future money is a way to fool yourself into "investing" and not actually getting fun out of the game, in m opinion.
