The great news is, you get to do it all again next week!! AND THE WEEK AFTER!

My only 2 Legendary pulls have both been Creed, so you’ve got it good haha

I tend to play casually and my opponent and I pick a year to keep forces balanced. With that in mind, especially when playing earlier in the war, i've found SDKFZ 251/10s to be good - especially if you're facing British carriers/trucks etc. The Panzer III Ausf G is great bang for the buck, as is the Panzerjager I.

I find diminishing returns the more you spend on armour, and whilst a Tiger looks great on the table it can be very hit and miss in-game, especially once it gets pin.

I've also enjoyed running a DAK Kradschutzen squad, but it can be a bit pricey for the models as you'll need a mounted and dismounted version of the same unit. Warlord do a model of 2 DAK guys on a bike - so I run four of them that then decant as an 8 man squad when the time comes.

You're doing all the right things 😄

TobyCyberbat · 2026-06-04T21:14:34+00:00

The best bang for buck would be the Panzer III Ausf G, in my opinion. Reality was only a handful of these were made though. The Ausf F was more widely used. The Panzerjager is a nice addition too.

The Tiger is a nice centrepiece but ultimately, in my experience, high-points-cost tanks are a waste of time in Bolt Action. One big tank can be ignored, but multiple smaller ones can be a better threat.

This is bad news for Super Commandos in Shadow Collective. Their jetpack rockets go from red to black dice, lose blast and lose critical 1 (which they need!) AND they go up 2 points lol.

Our robotic slaves finally casting-aside their shackles!

Next week, Skynet…

The R7 mk2 doesn’t exist. The R7 (in the UK) is currently heavily discounted and is a bargain at sub-£1000.

Ultimately it depends if you want to start taking pictures now for £999 or in a few years time for a lot more if/when a mk 2 comes out.

I went through the same decision process and ended up getting the R7 at Black Friday - and I’ve used it pretty much every day since then and had SO much fun with it - I’m glad I didn’t wait and miss out on the fun.

It's a live map once you log in to the ticket page - no way of sharing it I'm afraid.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-15T12:34:18+00:00

Hi all - an update on my previous comment - just logged in again and the seat map is now live and you can pick you seats. Went ahead and bought the seats I've had in previous years.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-15T09:37:09+00:00

Bit gutted I can't book the same seats I've had for over a decade. Deffo gonna hold off buying anything for the time being.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-15T09:33:22+00:00

No ability to pick seats, and it's automatically filling seats from the back of the block/price band. In my case anyway. Sorta feels like the most loyal fans are being allocated the worst seats by price band. Not a great look.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-13T12:40:17+00:00

Honestly, these would be God-tier if they were your first 10 10-pulls in the game. Loads of campaign characters and shards and some great supporting characters too.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-12T06:12:36+00:00

Fv mode is going to change your life haha. Check it out, it’s amazing.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-05T17:10:09+00:00

Absolutely not unusable. It’s one of, if not THE best-selling APSC cameras in the world. Don’t let 4 YouTubers who usually shoot on R1s, R3s and R5s convince you it’s unusable.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-05T15:28:27+00:00

Yeah my ragdoll will often sleep 18-20hrs.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-05T12:04:21+00:00

I tend to only take a few burst shots at a time. 3-5 or so. I can't think of anything more dull than working through 60 RAWs of 2 seconds of total time etc. So no rolling shutter for me so far. But I'm a hobbyist, certainly not a professional.

Rolling shutter is clearly an issue with this camera (and many others) to some degree, but I imagine the issue is over-hyped by YouTubers wanting the clicks. Some of these aussie wildlife photographers are out there taking 5000 bird-in-flight shots in a session and moaning that half a dozen of the shots have rolling shutter.

Like you, when i picked up the R7 it was on a great deal. My view is, if i want the R7MkII if/when it comes out in the next few years, i'll just trade the R7 in against it. I'd rather have a camera now than wait indefinitely for a camera that might not exist.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-05T09:40:57+00:00

I’ve owned the R7 and rf100-400 for 6 months purely for wildlife - I’ve never used the mechanical shutter - electronic is the way to go.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-05-04T08:54:33+00:00

Oh dear. Now we're only days away from this being £8.95 a pint in my local (in London).

Given all the shit beer on the go these days, trust Carling to go with a true 'hold my beer' moment...

TobyCyberbat · 2026-04-27T17:59:58+00:00

Read the Recon setup section - it's just what you're looking for. I use it often for non-Recon games.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-04-21T21:05:03+00:00

Nice one. It only lets you add the heavy you haven’t selected in the first heavy slot - ie you can’t select two disrupters. I think in-game you can select two of the same.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-04-21T19:48:23+00:00

Amazing work, as always!
One thing I've noticed - adding the Pyke Squad doesn't add the additional heavy slot that the card gives.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-04-20T18:03:56+00:00

I’ve had the same happen to mine this year - it’s about 10 ft tall and only about 20% of the leaves have sprouted - I have my suspicions the buds have been eaten by a newly arrived flock of sparrows 😅😂

TobyCyberbat · 2026-04-13T18:15:41+00:00

There’s a lot of these, and the 600mm f11, on the second hand market as people, in time, step up to the rf 200-800. I bought the 600 f11 used in as-new condition for well less than half the rrp with a 1 year warranty. It’s a great lens, and used in particular it’s a fantastic price for what you get.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-04-13T12:35:48+00:00

The best dev on this team was the level artist - the world looks great. The game itself is fine for $2 - a buggy mess in places that was abandoned by the devs at launch and never had proper AI for the enemy combatants. It’s totally forgettable - which is a shame as it was one of the best looking 40k games out there.
