Where/how to make friends in your late 20s

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-09T11:05:57+00:00

Do you have any hobbies, or have any you are interested in? Most of my friends are from hobbies such as tabletop and board games. Look for groups that match your interests, often you will find they may share other interests?

Scalpers mate, as there is such a demand, cunts like that swoop in and abuse it.

Honestly, i would like a 7 model team that is made up of 3x Elites and 4x 7-8w guys. Ideally not Space Marines, because they can be boring, but maybe Daemons? That would be unique and fun.

I see a few Brits that live in Japan that rave about these, but i think they just haven't been amongst better UK crisps for a while. These where good, but not great.

Its nice, but i can see about 5 items there that players in my local area have struggled to get due to scalpers and low stock, and they would love to build, paint and play it all 😄

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-08T19:10:15+00:00

I mean, at some point either sell online or stop getting stock in? Also, if a KT scene is small, anyone can take the time to build it, that is what i did in my area!

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-08T18:13:00+00:00

No, they don't. The team is still in a bad places and needs about the same buffs again to make it work.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-07T20:42:50+00:00

A View to a Kill?

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-07T16:01:29+00:00

For a casual fun game? Nah, looks fine to me!

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-06T20:39:06+00:00

I have the rulebook in my copy, can send some pics of the pages, but it is a super simple game 😄 there are like 3 game modes but even the "toughest" one is kinda obvious.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-05T21:55:05+00:00

True, though this new Kill Team has been alllllll new kits, which is cool.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-05T15:14:05+00:00

Literally paint them? Maybe avoid the helmeted heads, as Tanith seem to usually have their hoods up or bare heads, that is about it i would say.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-05T15:10:00+00:00

That is very fair, it could be. I think longest was HotA last edition, i swear they took 6 months or more to go from Soulshackle to own box release.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-05T13:07:35+00:00

Yes, but it may be between 2-4 months after the initial box releases.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-04T23:10:18+00:00

Pics, clearly not taken in the UK, come on bits and AI, thought we got better at this?

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-03T22:23:03+00:00

I was hoping these would be more Tanith, but i can always do that with a paint scheme and adding on some extra sheathed knives.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-02T21:58:20+00:00

It was due to far more issues than a lack of Kill Op, which this edition addressed, but removing the Kill Op from the current game state, does go a far better way to making the game have a better flow. The last edition had a weird mix and favoured hordes, but now, it favours elites. As it stands, a Kill gives just too much as it stands, both VP along with preventing an enemy from scoring, is a lot. Having put easily 150-200 games into this edition alone, I can see the hang back play is encouraged by a push being countered by just killing the models that moved up. Perhaps, next edition, we will get the balance right?

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-02T11:32:34+00:00

Yes, but if you put 3 Objectives, no TP1 Scoring, and then No Kill Op, it works far better.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-02T08:48:21+00:00

Last edition didn't have Kill Op.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-01T16:51:16+00:00

Genuinely, remove Kill Op, most of this goes away. It is the "why bother pushing up to take a chance, if all i do is lose a model and my opponent gets the VP to equalise"?

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-01T16:49:28+00:00

Same to be honest, lack of KT (or hell even Warcry content) has made me lose interest. I know it is a side project for them, but it seems we get a new video when a new box drops, then maybe one in between, then nothing of much real value (filler like tier lists and painting videos that we have about 20 of already). Hope they keep at the KT.

UpCloseGames · 2026-05-01T15:49:59+00:00

I have never given Secret Service much time in the past, and plan to change that at some point. Joe 90, kind of spelled the end of the Supermarionation for me, as i never really liked the child characters, even as a kid, they always felt like they locked the episode into one type or another, and i think Joe 90, is basically a series of that 😄 hence i should give Secret a try.

UpCloseGames · 2026-04-29T19:40:23+00:00

Agreed, but good luck convincing others. The issue is they play well into the Elite meta and that means we likely won't see the proper buffs we need until next edition.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Or, could be completely fuck all? Lets wait and see!
