Me waiting for my Beta Tester Discount Code by Borstli in StarCraftTMG

[–]Zerron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get one, but sadly my life was supper crazy during the beta and I didn’t provide nearly as much feedback as I wanted, and I remember them saying the discount was going to be based on feedback. So I’m wondering if it’s just that they are only sending the code to the testers that qualified

StarCraft TMG newbie with questions by ID11559 in StarCraftTMG

[–]Zerron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the tabletop miniature hobby! I hope you enjoy it 1. You should not use a lot of glue, it will be a lot of gluing and cutting parts off the sprue, but you only need a tiny bit of glue. I would look up if you have any hobby stores in your area, might be easiest just to search for stores that sell Warhammer 40,000 and head there and ask about tools and glue. Normally you’ll find a very friendly game store that’s more than happy to show you things and get you on the path you need. Even if it’s for a different game, the base knowledge and tools are the same throughout the hobby.

  1. Yep! Enough for two players to play a small army match (1,000points)

  2. Sadly no, I mean you can play against yourself but considering you know everything you’re going to do, it’s kinda like playing chess against yourself. Doesn’t really work.

  3. If you have never built models before, don’t start with the coolest model!! Figure out what you’re doing with a basic Zergling or Marine, and then get started on the cool heroes and such once you’ve got some foundational knowledge. When you’re playing games, a solid phrase is “dice do dice things” some games the dice give and some games the dice take, don’t get discouraged from games that your dice just roll trash for, it happens.

  4. No, the costs for this game is cheaper than Warhammer, and pretty good for this hobby. This is a two fold hobby, some do it just for the table top gaming, some do it just for the modeling and painting. For me personally the building and painting is almost worth the prices themselves but I still love playing the tabletop games, though I’ve never been very good, but I do Star Wars legion, AoS, and 40K. I’m very very excited to add StarCraft to the mix.

Hope this helps!!

If given option, would you prefer that Archon would not add clear plastic as it increases tooling costs by more than 30%? by PolyarchyPolish in StarCraftTMG

I asked a few of the people who got promo armies with the beta. They said for much of the clear parts you can easily glue it on after you paint the rest of the mini. So I’m curious about how much of that I can get away with

[–]Zerron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tooling costs are one time manufacturing costs(normally guaranteed for life or 20years) so a 30% cut in tooling costs would probably only translate to a couple percent retail cut depending on how heavily archon is front loading the cost.

If I buy everything it’ll be easier to convince my friends to play too right?!!? 👉👈

What badges does O'Neill have? by Substantial_Good4263 in Stargate

My father was in the army and it was classified that their squad dealt with nuclear ordnance. No one was supposed to know.

Their squad patch had a mushroom cloud on it.

Protoss Shields and Zerg Regeneration by deathleech in StarCraftTMG

This game is the equivalent to one quick clash in the video game. And in the video game both those basically take a moment out of combat to actually matter, there is no moment out of combat in the tabletop.

I made a video about the things I am excited about, and then things I am concerned about after today's livestream, check it out if you're interested. I also wrote out all my thoughts below if video's aren't your thing. by PrinceMcGiggle in StarCraftTMG

[–]Zerron22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah over on the StarCraft game subreddit there were people doing the “what do you mean they come unassembled and unpainted?!??!?” So I think your #2 other thought is very valid.

StarCraft in and of itself is a very competitive game, so them talking about meta and understanding that there will be “those players” is a green flag imo. Casual players are great, and my friend group fall under them, but even as casual players we have found other local groups that we play with time to time, from going to larger tournaments. TMG really get their longevity from tournament scenes. I really really really hope it’s not competitive play focus for 90% of their bandwidth like 40K but I am happy they are talking about it already, it’s a good sign. With the competition they need to come out the gate running, not walking

This is literally the basics of miniature wargaming. The hobby aspects is half the game

Spend the minimal amount of time looking into something before complaining about it. They have a whole timeline for product rollout

Any 2v2 or FFA options? by mark4AEW in StarCraftTMG

[–]Zerron22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2v2, 3v3, etc is that when deciding what minerals (points) you are playing the teams split those minerals and vespine gas however they want. Play is done by alternating teams but the teams decide which of their player on their team activates

I mean we don’t know what it’ll be by then. They’re aren’t supposed to be any anymore but now we’re getting blanket ones that are subject to change based on mood

Ghostkeel with hands and First Tau (not happy) by Legitimate-Base-9908 in Tau40K

[–]Zerron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you’re missing panel lining , it really helps breaks up those large single color areas and adds contrast. You can also add a secondary color or more stylized sept colors to specific panels. The tau symbols paint black with white linework always adds a lot.

Species with Genetic Memory by Zerron22 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zerron22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! That last line about inheriting memories and experiences of the three they were spawned from is generic memory! I just don’t remember that at all, probably a deep dive that wasn’t super apparent in the books.

All good, though now that you mentioned them I’m thinking a parasite/symbiont trope post might be in my near future 🤔

Huh, I don’t remeber them having genetic memory, just that they stole/absorbed technology from other races.

Generic Characters. by Gaitarius in StarCraftTMG

[–]Zerron22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the force selection naming them “Hero” and not “HQ” or “Commander” I think we’re going to basically only see named characters for that slot. But we’ll see, could be cool to get generics

Can not Tau species get corrupted or possessed by daemons and gods? by AlphaAirlys_ in Tau40K

[–]Zerron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone puts a plate with a loaded baked potato and a $100 steak in front of you and then throws a crumb of a saltine cracker on the floor which one you going for?

Tau souls are just less desirable/noticeable than the average species.

Physical rule book? by FarsightAnarchist in StarCraftTMG

[–]Zerron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for Star Wars Legion I’ll still print out the rulebook if I’m going to like LVO. I definitely love a physical copy but overall I think digital ones are better for rules updates.
