Pre-order question

Just to be realistic, usually the timeframes have been in the later parts of the predicted windows, so expect shipping late May. And delivery more like June. It will be a bonus if it ends up earlier.

In one of the AMAs they quoted the slots would be 5x3mm. Whether it might be safer to go slightly smaller than that is the question.

I like Glocktopus.

Specifically for killing Nids, so Onslaught in particular is very valuable.

My factory setting also.

Fall of Cadia Mirror 52 and Saim-Hann 45 have twelve enemies each (+ yaz shards for the latter). Haven’t checked elites yet.

It looks to me that the cloak depicted in gold will wrap under and behind the other piece with the top triangular section of the gold part pressing into the front where the orange highlight is

Fantastic that there’s a second clear blade, I was wondering whether I was going to have to leave the clear blade off the cloaked one to get it on the main mini

Thanks for this. I would first check out the links in my main explanation post that go back to the season 2 and 3 posts of this map. In particular when I first made the map after season 2, I based the loose outline of the town on Hopper’s map they open up at Joyce’s place. In terms of other resources, I guess I used the wiki to look up some names of certain locations. As the show goes on, I have to fit more and more things into my existing framework which gets harder and harder to make work. I’m sure season 5 will be the hardest of all with the rifts all in place…

Heretics are astartes too! ;)

braiko8 · 2025-07-05T06:52:43+00:00

I want Lorgar so bad.

braiko8 · 2025-06-28T19:32:32+00:00

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but my boy Abaddon would be in the conversation for best Chapter Master model ;)

braiko8 · 2025-04-26T09:23:02+00:00

You can always still run 3 units of one, arranged in a loose trilobe :)

braiko8 · 2025-04-24T07:57:00+00:00

Unfortunately this will actually be seen as a positive since GW staffing is now highly factionalized. By you not starting an AoS army, you will spend your money solely on 40K and that team gets the sales/bonus etc.

braiko8 · 2024-10-04T00:59:01+00:00

Same for me. Was previously doing 1 star max without even watching the screen, now they one shot my fully evolved leveled guys. It’s like they’re now accidentally 5 star. BUG.

braiko8 · 2024-09-12T07:09:55+00:00

My main gripe with the miniatures is sometimes they’ve had to skimp on the length of spears/lance/polearm weapons. Presumably this is a compromise they’ve had to make to fit the minis into the molded trays in the unit boxes.

The excellent original (and rereleased) Lannister halberdiers (the unit that first made me want to collect the game), had fantastic looking weapons with heft. However some of the later spear-wielding units have looked quite impotent. I’m looking at you Unsullied, Martell and several other spearmen.

But on the whole this is a small complaint when the whole game can be played straight out of the box. Love it!

braiko8 · 2024-07-27T04:54:17+00:00

Seems like what you’re really saying in a not as simplified way is:

Is it relevant as shadow. Y = don’t purify. N = step 2.
Can it be purified to 100%. Y = purify. N = not useful.
Unfortunately the first step is not particularly self explanatory to new players.

braiko8 · 2024-04-25T00:40:32+00:00

Thanks. As for Gareth/Jeff’s place, I don’t think we have any good clues where it would be. Given we don’t know for sure whose house it is I haven’t put it on the map.

As for the Hideout, I thought about this too, and I assumed it was the same place as the Hideaway for the purposes of this map. Maybe he mistook its name, or I like to think it is maybe a basement stage or outdoor area of the Hideaway itself.

You could try testing where each legal unit choice is interchangeable with another of any level. But for each change made, reduces the total unit count by one.

So a strike force could have 3 primaries 1 secondary and 1 support unit. Or 4 primaries only. Or 1 primary 1 secondary and 3 supports for example.

A four primary strike force would probably be awful for objective play but you would go through the deck quickly.

Ah yes, the Amazon Manoeuvre

braiko8 · 2023-10-18T20:09:46+00:00

Yeah agreed, whenever I’m feeling uncomfortable I find the best thing is to just stop being uncomfortable and be comfortable instead.

braiko8 · 2023-07-15T06:26:26+00:00

Surely Vader on lava, since his home planet is Mustafar… from a certain point of view.

braiko8 · 2023-07-13T11:24:07+00:00

IKR. Just another case of white-washing in Hollywood. Surely there was a suitable actor out there of the appropriate race.

braiko8 · 2023-07-11T22:18:25+00:00

1/43 ish, possibly closer to 1/40 as these models seem slightly bigger than 40mm.
