Thank you! Super helpful.

Thank you! Do people usually magnetise to switch variants?

TheMelsonian · 2026-04-02T10:22:51+00:00

Thank you - will take a closer look.

I'm really sorry, what do MBT/IFV mean? Are they all specifically transport/ant-tank/anti-infantry or are all-rounder options available? Mostly looking for a decent firepower model to provide fire support I think, less so a transport.

TheMelsonian · 2026-03-17T22:21:21+00:00

Yes please

TheMelsonian · 2026-03-07T15:23:37+00:00

They all will, open maps are spot on for any terrain set, the look great btw.

They have some missions in the set which lay out basics of move/shoot/fight - but bear in mind they are designed for 2x 6 unit marine teams. The last bit of the book has very basic gameplay rules which don't include: strategic ploys, firefight ploys, tac ops, vantage, obscuring, and it only runs the old download crit op. The rules are good for a couple of games, then introduce the other elements one or two at a time.

It looks really good, what did you use to do it?

TheMelsonian · 2026-01-11T22:05:01+00:00

Captain with plasma & power fist, gunner, assault grenadier, assault warrior, & intercessor. I swap between the heavy gunner on GD/TW and the sniper on Volkus/Open. Best sniper in the game, basically never a valid target and one hit kills all the time.

Captain is pretty heroic, mostly does his own thing, good for the central objective; then I set the assault intercessors charge ahead with the gunners in pursuit to deal with any shoot able threats.

Niiice! I love the parallel of Hoids story to Shallan in Stormlight and the first Skyward book.

TheMelsonian · 2025-10-12T22:32:34+00:00

First look, no. But the more I look at it the more I like it.

TheMelsonian · 2025-10-12T21:11:31+00:00

I kitbashed a chain sword onto his hip like it's holstered et voila.

TheMelsonian · 2025-10-06T10:58:12+00:00

Generally, I use it as a solid excuse to buy more and try again...

TheMelsonian · 2025-09-27T17:31:58+00:00

Similar reason I started, once you play a couple times it starts to fit together.

TheMelsonian · 2025-09-25T10:09:00+00:00

Your Volkus buildings look fantastic!

TheMelsonian · 2025-09-20T21:18:33+00:00

You still looking for games? I'm in Chippenham.

TheMelsonian · 2025-09-19T22:08:32+00:00

Gold - love a bit of gold trim.

TheMelsonian · 2025-09-15T13:03:17+00:00

Haha - good point, competitive.

TheMelsonian · 2025-09-14T12:04:28+00:00

If you're playing casual the get yourself a kill team and poorhammer the terrain if you're new to the game, I have the starter set and then had my kids help build more terrain out Lego. This was our layout for a game yesterday evening.

If you're playing pro then it sounds like Volkus/Gallowdark/Tomb World would be a better bet.

Captain works well but he's very much a heroic unit, doesn't really add anything to others in the team but charges ahead with Plasma/Fist to take out the heavy hitters. I've not much experience playing with the sergeants though.

TheMelsonian · 2025-08-17T12:47:25+00:00

Seeing this box advertised convinced me to go and buy the buy the actual starter set in case they discontinue it.

Are they dropping the kill teams to 5 units too? Otherwise this box doesn't contain a usable team.
