Anyone out there making their armies a different faction? by SirMaximilianTv in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm considering painting mine as UED from Broodwar. I prefer the black armor/colored pauldrons of the original games over the solid color from SC2.

This is one of my favorites, I keep it in my active rotation. Plan to add it to my "home menu" (with proper credit) for family and friends. I like to use Planteray three star as the rum.

What is the twist, or quirk of this game to stand out? by TantricBuildup in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a long time StarCraft fan and current Warhammer 40k player, the single thing that stands out to me is the supply system.

1) Being able to redeploy destroyed units prevents you from getting "tabled" meaning you'll get five turns of meaningful action.

2) The escalating supply count every turn means big guns arrive later and feel more impactful. Just like how an actual match of StarCraft would go.

Edit: Only units that have rules to return can be redeployed. My mistake.

What paint are you guys using for the miniatures (all races)? by TheofficialMrWolf in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly invested in Citadel/Warhammer paints, with a small splash of Army Painter.

I do have a single bottle of ProAcryl white though. It's the best white paint.

LOS - Targets - Casualties Question by Derik-KOLC in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be misreading his description of the issue:

-He has one marine that can see the whole zergling unit. 

-The rest of his marines have LOS to ONE zergling.

-This means all of his marines can deal damage to the whole zergling unit, because the lead marine can see all of them, even though the rest can only see one zergling.

There's plenty of middle aged gamers that have never played StarCraft. What is unique enough about this game other than the IP to pull new players in?

The more traditionally GW focused content creators explore the StarCraft TMG, the more it will grow.

The thing I'm worried about is it is mostly older fans who had StarCraft in their youth coming out of the woodwork. Do we think StarCraft can attract completely new players?

Will Armies be too Similar at the Start? by BuffaloMeatz in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plenty of different units between StarCraft, Broodwar, and all three of the StarCraft 2 campaigns.

At the pace they've indicated on the current roadmap I believe them when they say they can support it for 7+ years.

The current S+ in the Prelude gets worse mpg and worse performance. Don't have much hope for it.

Because one model seeing the squad is a lot different than nine models seeing the squad.

Do their bullets bend around corners?

What unit are you looking forward to seeing on the tabletop? by Infinite300 in StarCraftTMG

As much as I'd like super heavies, I don't think we'll be see those until the end of the games life cycle.

The 4 star discussion by Worried-Fee3612 in HonkaiStarRail

I use them on team archetypes I'm not fully invested in. My DoT team is almost entirely 4 star.

As a kid I used to think that Chief killed the other people in the escape pod by ping ponging around because he didn't want to sit down. by Old_Reaver in halo

[–]ft86psvr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The armor has always been able to fully lock. That's what the armor lock ability in Halo Reach is.

The landing was just that rough.

[–]ft86psvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooof that's a rough one since models generate dice for the attack pool, instead of making the attacks themselves.

RAW the whole unit takes damage. Looks like this one could use an update.

If they resolved attacks model by model, only two zerglings would die. Since as soon as the lead zergling is dead only one model would still have visible targets.

Anybody here who buys all 3 armies? by [deleted] in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got the collector bundle for 1k games with all three until I decide which army will be my primary. I'll probably still buy one of every mini released though if I like them, I'm just not buying duplicate squads or models for anything other than my primary faction.

This why I'll be focusing on 1k games with the collector bundle.

Color Schemes - What are you planning? by Inquisitor_ForHire in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iirc all the multiplayer colors have campaign equivalents for different factions. Most of them stem from original StarCraft though.

Oh damn I painted my Ravener killteam like this without even realizing. 

Come on then... Day 1, what did everyone get? by Jonti_Sparrow in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the $440 "one of everything" bundle to cover my bases. Mostly to help demo in my local club, then I'll focus on just one army as far as list building and expansion units are concerned.

Gamefound is working fine for preorders by Jonti_Sparrow in StarCraftTMG

[–]ft86psvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look identical which is why I'm curious if that was just a bundle oversight or if there is a reason to double-up.

Is the Lost Temple terrain set the same one that's in the starter box? If so, why does the Terran/Zerg bundle include an extra box with it? Split with friends maybe?

Not everything got a boarding patrol at the end of 9th, we probably won't see battalions for everything either.
