They get unique models, rules and (if possible) named characters. Which faction do you choose?
Release Schedule
>>98843978>TQDehaka and Primal Zerg>That's generic/basic/predictable!Fuck you
>>98843979Hopefully this schedule won't become out of date like the last one
>>98844134It almost certainly will.
Anybody got marines with the Stars & Bars painted on them?
>That guy banned from the GW for his SS Imperial Guard and Black Templar and "just asking questions" now shows up at Geek Retreat with his Confederate Terrans.Mike you racist old son of a bitch you just never change do you. Well except being pro russia now but still.
>>98844520There is an objective 100% chance that The-Confederacy-Will-Rise-Again militias exist in Starcraft.
>>98844520>That guy banned from the GW for his SS Imperial Guard and Black Templar and "just asking questions" now shows up at Geek Retreat with his Confederate TerransActual. Fucking. Patriot.
>>98843978>TQI cast my vote against subfactions, let the effort be spent polishing the actual factions instead, also fuck named characters.
>>98844531You run into one in the first UED mission of Brood War.
>>98844531There are. There's one at the end of I, Mengsk.
>>98844604>also fuck named characters.>Looks at Nova>Looks at KerriganThat's the plan, yeah
>>98843978>TQUmojan Protectorate.I want the Umoja Shadowguard, and their Marines look sick. I love their holographic/hardlight/whateverthefuckitis visors.There's lots of characters in the novels and manga they could use to give the Protectorate a named character, and in SC2 there's people like Graven Hill (Hell, they could even get Valerian as part of their army if you want to lean into him being half-Umojan).
How fun is the game in practice and could everyone give a quick rundown of the factions? Are there sub factions? I always really like archon studios and their model quality, but I have never actually played a game by them. Terran models seem cool. Is there any recommendation to start them?
Unsure of how to do my Zerg. Just doing the usual orange/brown/purple/flesh mishmash or making something up. Considered red with white/off white bellies and brown culminating in black down their spines, with gradual transition between colours without specifically colour coding muscles and carapace distinctly, although probably with black talons and similar gradual red->brown->black transition along their limbs.Alternately albino Zerg, maybe with a faded stencil on the queen like it's some escaped abomination from a Terran lab.>>98843978>TQMira's Marauders. I like the Mad Max Terran look.
>>98845012>Mira's Marauders
>>98843978>TQI think Ihan-Rii as miniatures would look cool. Different enough while still being Protoss (And not being edge shitheads in bright neon-red colors like the Taldarim)
>>98845048I don't give a fuck about Mira herself, I just like the scrap looking units. I like junk fanctions in scifi in general.
>>98845012Today finished tonned down/muted colors, one was supposed to be ivory bony one but happy little accidents next to another and here we are
>>98844613Pshhh, im aiming for zagara.
>>98843978>Got all the founders box built>Time to prime>Use four new GW rattlecans from 3 shops>All four run out after 12 minisI saw their glue was now half the size it was last month and given a price hike but this is absurd. A pox on their house.
>>98844520My only worry is that if this flag shit gets any bigger we might not see many sc1 style models/content in an attempt to like "distance" themselves but thats just my doomerism
>>98845496To be fair anyone who has a local knows you give racists an inch they take eine meile.
>>98843978>TQnot really a subfaction but unarmored troopers (like the coop Mengsk militia) and civilians/scientists would be cool for flavor alone and more narrative games. as for a special model, probably that guy who set off the nuke in the amerigo station in the first game with the beer fridge nuke as a bonus
>>98845500I think that's cool that they always associate with biggest looser posers in history so you can filter more easly
>>98845533i only like the confeds in starcraft because space hillbillies is funny but its kind of a case of trying not to be associated with retards who actually want to grift these hobbies
>>98845555ayo, digits
>>98845564It's a zerglin' Lester. Smaller type'a zerg...
So Arbathurs almost certain but will we get the infested scientist woman? id love to see infested terrans be their own list.
>>98845586same here. Infested armored terrans, civilians/scientists, etc. i remember seeing some really gnarly concept art and it makes me wanna greenstuff up some zombies with insect bits
>>98844865>I always really like archon studios and their model qualityShilling used to be believable.Also go away, anyone still posting ITT is already interested or has bought in.
>>98845459Nigga doesn't use tamiya glue lmfao rofl
>>98845642Trying Too Hard
>>98845718Its too runny and i dont like the way it does a chemical weld its fragile closer to super glue. It just became a meme glue because of gunpla.
>>98845734>Its too runny and i dont like the way it does a chemical weld its fragile closer to super glue. It just became a meme glue because of gunpla.Jesus Christ...
>>98845734Truly amazing bait, 10/10
>>98845586I want Infested Colonists, Volatile Infested, Aberrations, Virophage and so on. I want to be able to play an ENTIRELY infested army. SHIT WOULD BE BUSSIN Getting infested Ariel would be neat as well
So its just gonna be 1-3 mutas right? those things are meant to be the size of a mid sized space ship.
>>98843978Desolate Queen/Pre-Zerus HotS Kerrigan is an awesome design and I hope we get a model for her. Give her the Ghost Canister-rifle she uses in the first mission or two of HotS, different/lesser abilities and different stats compared to current Kerrigan and a sub-faction called something like the Shattered Swarm. This faction represents the first act or two of HotS before the Swarm reforms under her and has access to different units than the full Kerrigan's Swarm sub-faction. Maybe she can be taken like this in Terran lists too. Would be pretty sweet.
>>98846562mutalisks are not that big. you can see them next to BCs and the like. they're not small but they're not dropship sized.
>>98846599I'd like it if we got a "Human Kerrigan" model with a profile that can be used in Terrans or Zerg. She comes with a build option to have the ghost's rifle or energy blazing from her hands, and a more normal head with the red hair, and a Zerg hair head. This way you can get SC1 Sarah and SC2 Sarah
>>98846599Poop hair nasty
>>98846699>And my hair had less Zerg in it!>Yeeeeah...
>>98846658This actually seems like a pretty clever way of doing Human Kerri
>>98846658>>98846732Would SC1 Kerrigan really be different from Nova? Even model-wise you could probably just paint Nova hair red and call it a day, they're both wearing ghost uniform with a long ponytail
>>98846774Different suit (in HotS her Ghost suit has a unique design), different stats and abilities and Kerrigan never had a fucking Zoomer gimmick jetpack
>>98835152I know it's from the last post, but I hope anon can see this and tell me how he did those magnificent bases!! Thank you very much in advance
>>98846907Nta but it looks like a structure paste without sand mixed in. Maybe a common filler/spackling paste.
>>98846599This makes sense, but the reason they won't do it like this is that Desolate Queen Kerrigan and Sons of Korhal Sarah are two units they can easily makes models out of and sell separately, thus earning twice the profit.
>>98846907Hey anon, sorry I missed your reply. It's just Vallejo Brown Mud paste randomly spread on the bases. I also added some creep tumor bits from the zergling kits to the 50 and 80mm bases. After it was all dried and cured, I sprayed them with a panzer grey color primer. Afterwards I just drybrushed the bases with some grey and off white and painted the creep tumors.This is >>98840124 base, with its Roach glued on.
>>98843978I love sc1 mengsk. Blizzard used to have some pretty good characters
Finally got past the builders block I had caused by adepts.Built 4 adepts, 3 zealots n artanis. Still got 4 more adepts and rest of the protoss starter box to build. Though so much sub assembly...Hows everyone else built their artanis?Mine is built right after the failed invasion with his hair/cord cut off and with zeratuls wristblade.
>>98848719Read I, Mengsk and Uprising. Makes him even better.
>>98849095>ReadNever.
>>98849233Listen to it then. The "child" voices are kinda winceworthy but overall the VA does a good job. It's more Mengsk kino
>>98846774They did make Nova more on her campaign style Tech Based. They just lean into the psychic style more for Kerrigan.
Have my Protoss army still unpainted. Any advice on painting SCTMG minis?>Should I use priming (I have grey spray), or should not? >I want to use contrast acrylic paints. Anything against it?>Will paint half my army Khalai and other half as Dark Templar /Nerazhim...Any recommended gold paint paint for Khalai Toss; And best Silver for Nerazhim armor?
>>98849233Audiobook, young nigga
Hydralisks are so fun to paint. It's like the model is so good you can't do a bad paintjob on them
Some progress on my marines.
So does anyone actually play the game and are going to talk about that or are we just another painting support group?
>>98851414I have half my marines painted and absolutely no clue how to play the game because polish to english translation without even a small attempt at localizing the terminology makes me want to jump off a building. I'll make sure I'm sober to learn eventually but nah man, not right now, nah. I might just end up using konflict 47 rules because fuck this gaymey no cover no suppression shit.
>>98851680There's cover, but no suppression or morale.
>>98852244How would Morale even work with this game?Like if a unit's supply value drops a bracket it has to spend one more CP until the end of the turn?
>>98851307Choice of colors is interesting. The primary color is like zerg carapace and the blue highlights almost seem to glow against it. I picture these guys as zerg hunters that style themselves after their quarry.
>>98851414We do both :D
>>98851414There is not much to talk about yet. The game has like 5 units per side. Flyers will mix it up bigtime i guess. Pic related is a double Zerg vs Protoss and Terran 2v2. We didnt know if there are 2v2 rules, so we played by the 1v1 rules with split supply. Worked out great. The Zelots are crazy strong. They held one chokepoint by themself till the last turn and managed to breake through the other with a single model surviving. For once the marauders didnt oneshot my queen. She stayed in play burrowed with 1 hp left. Raynor and his raiders secured the main objective in the middle and killed half of my models in one turn. We still won 14 to 12 by board control. We had 4 very enjoyable games that day, while the 40k guys argued for 7 hours about terrain rules, kek.
Kino last turn.
>>98851414i play every other monday, which happens to be today too, but there is hardly a reason till it calms down with whining that the contener with people's shit didn't arrive yet
>Spending the weekend painting a new terrain set for the store league when I just want to paint my siege tanks
>>98845533Now the Confederates might had been a bunch of corrupt hicks who were about to get their dicks eaten off experimenting with integrating volatile creatures into their lifestyle, but is their replacement really any better in those regards?I mean the Dominion, of course.
>>98851414Played like 10 or 15 1k games and a half dozen 2k games- hard to not want to play after you start with how solid the rules are. Not only is it just a really good ttg with mechanics that keep both players engaged the entire time, the building/supply rules just do a stellar job of capturing the feel of Starcraft- not the EXACT game itself with mineral mining and base bulding mind you, but more the best moment in Starcraft when you and your opponent clash in no man's land with the forces you've put together & one of your marines set as a rally point for the reinforcements in qeueu. The only issue I have currently is dedicated anti-armor feels kinda mid right now with there being so few armored targets to shoot, but that'll undoubtedly change as we get more units.
>>98853600Yeah, pretty much nothing changes until Valerian gets the throne, which lowkey infuriates me. If Mengsk is apparently as bad as the Confederacy, why the hell does everyone just go along with him being in charge after the UED & Kerrigan wipe out his authority?They just try too hard to have their cake and eat it too- they wanted him to be this evil retard who does everything wrong noone in their right mind would want as their ruler but at the same he manages to start from the absolute bottom and work his way to the top with this persona.That's not how dictators work- they have to earn the public's favor SOMEHOW. Hitler banged his fist and said Europe belongs to Germany. Stalin coasted by on Lenin's reputation. Et cetera et cetera.
>>98853695Mengsk's whole thing is impossible charisma. He can shot your best friend in front of ypu and convince you, easily, it was the right thing to do. Pair this with his pro-human, humanity first, wipe out all aliens, aliens are shit ideals and it's easy to see why people follow him in a post-First Great War era.
>>98853618>The only issue I have currently is dedicated anti-armor feels kinda mid right now with there being so few armored targets to shoot, but that'll undoubtedly change as we get more units.You feel it more against Protoss, I find. They've more armor than the Zerg
>>98854128Like what? Stalkers and Imortals? Thats 2 units. With the armored Queen, the Worm and the Roaches, Zergs have that much in the starter alone.
>>98854409I tend to fight multiple Stalkers and an Immortal in most Protoss lists I fight, so yeah I get more use outta anti-armour.Also, fuck you.
>>98852522Yeah game doesn't need it. You've got drugged up soldiers, hive mind, and psionic Fight or Die types anyways.
>>98854409It's a pretty viable strategy for zerg to skip roaches or burrow them, and then focus on hydra/ling spam while keeping the queens in the back out of harm's way,Immortals and stalkers meanwhile have to be in front doing their damage, and skipping one or the other feels like it'd make playing protoss pretty impossible.Marine spam is decent for terrans, but it just got smacked with a nerf making it clunky to actually run, and they're still a little less well rounded damage wise the way lings or hydras are.
>>98854689Seems to be like zerg are the easiest to play. I just played a bunch of games over the weekend and zerg felt pretty tough to play around sometimes.
>>98855075I've found Protoss easiest thus far, hyper mobile, tough and killy all at once
>>98855075I would complain, but it's refreshing to not have protoss be the faction a braindead gorilla can win with
>>98855411I definitely wasn't using my bag of tricks as greast as I could've and it also doesn't help that it was my first time playing them. I was originally going to play terran but their starter set didn't come out over here yet.
Can you share with me your marines? I need inspiration.
>>98845500This but with wokies (who are just anti-white racists anyways)
>>98853600>Confederacy was feeding its own people to the zerg in Umbrella Corp style experiments>Dominion was feeding its own people to the zerg in Umbrella Corp style experiments AND in false-flag operations >Raynor's Raiders was feeding its own people to the zerg for just a crumb of infested pussyMaybe the UED were right. Sure they also fed people to the zerg in Umbrella Corp style experiments, but at least those weren't their own people and they had the excuse of Duran's manipulations as well.
>>98856334From a previous thread, I went with UED colorsI'm so glad we are getting SC1 firebats instead of SC2
>>98857028Pretty sure it's Alpha Sqaudron colours
>>98857045Both are based, so it works for me.
>>98856354king
>>98856369>Raynor's Raiders was feeding its own people to the zerg for just a crumb of infested pussyTo be fair I'd absolutly still smash infested Ariel.
>>98856334Mine from a previous thread
>>98854104>Mengsk's whole thing is impossible charisma.Also, reasonable administrative skills, while Confederacy was nearly malfunctional at the end.
>>98857417>reasonable administrative skill>reasonableBruh, he overhauled the entire Dominion from shitass hillbillies into a juggernaut between Starcraft I and II.
>>98849095I will find it, thanks my man
>>98851307>>98856334>>98857028>>98857277What i love about these models is how "moddable" they are to paint. It doesn't matter if you paint the pauldron or chest plate all one colour or different colours separated by the segments it just looks good.
>Dust off SC2 skills because I've been having fun with the minis>Pair into zerg as terran>See ling rush coming>Wall off in time>Accidentally hit the wall off button again because it's my pinky finger>Lings pour in and kill everythingBeing left handed and using your right hand for the keyboard fucking sucks
>>98858107Left handed beasts should be hung the moment the curse manifests
>>98857277Still love these>>98857028Hardcore UED lover here, I greatly approve>>98856334Oh I like this more "traditional military" look
>>98858794Hey, I'm not an undeveloped beast, I play terran, not protoss
>>98857028UED!!!!Good choice, anon. Always like seeing people play the good guys
>>98859767Now that you mention that,I always loved the Protoss as a kid, but now as an adult I just see them as the mary sue of races.
The temple ramp is fucking HUGE
Merc. Captain "count as Raynor"
I still cant decide how to build the siege tank
>>98859650>>98859650Thanks. Glad you like it. I”ve been holding off painting any more cause i’m deciding if i want to try painting some in the style of the video games, with that metallic armor across the chest/legs look. So i guess im working on terrain for the meantime.
>>98860309>Not buying 2 like good paypiggy to switch them out when changing modesBut seriously, I think the tank mode is the more iconic look for it.
>>98843979What's the reasoning for not releasing Ghosts alongside Nova?
>>98862100I assume that's because raven is closer as support unit to templars and defiler
>>98860309Siege mode is the more iconic look for it.
>>98860537Tank mode is used so little they could remove its attack and the unit would basically be unchanged
>>98862100They are coming later at the very least.
Is it me or it seems like both the Ravager and the Immortal are designed to be direct counters to the Siege Tonk?one is a big ass railgun hit, the other one places direct damage markers on units that dont move out of the way, so the tank in siege mode is forced to take the hit or lose siege status.
>>98863283>Are the Immortal & Ravager designed to function the way they do in the video game?
>>98863283Pretty basic game design, anon
>>98863547>>98863919Sure, but arent the terrans kinda screwed over as everyone is going in with the new toys?
Btw, the Goli and the Tank fully upgraded are virtually the same price
When are they releasing their Warcraft game? When can I buy plastic Night Elves?
is 370 points worth of upgrades good for a 2000 point game?
>>98863944>Coordinated Fire>Ensure that they can't get within range>Use normal tank form's anti-armor>Raynor Raiders placement>PositioningThere's options.
>>98843978>TQPrimal ZergDehaka Daddy needs his Ravasaurs, Igniters and Tyrannozors
I can't figure out what to do for protoss bases
>>98864797I'm playing Zeratul's Warband in terms of theme, I'm putting them on purple bases (some texture paste from Greenstuff world maybe) with glowing green crystals, bones and the like to represent Shakuras
>>98864817The ideas I was thinking was like ruined temples or like marble bases, and then like a hexagonal warp field of some sort
>>98864817>I'm putting them on purple bases (some texture paste from Greenstuff world maybe) with glowing green crystals, bones and the like to represent ShakurasBitch that's literally my exact idea fuck you do something else
>>98864040If Starcraft does good and AOS continues to sink, it's possible.
>>98864797Grass and moss to match the lost temple scenery a little bit.
>>98863944In practice it more or less works exactly like it does in the game- you stick your tank out front in the middle of harm's way it dies, but if you zone off with marines like you're supposed to it never even gets in harm's way. The immortal can sometimes get close enough to nuke it if you don't pepper it enough with marine shots to get its shields down, but that us again identical to the vidya
>>98856334Thinking about trying this scheme but changing the green to sons of horus green. Does this look more starcraft-ey or am i overthinking it?
>>98865729Left looks better
>>98865729>Does this look more starcraft-eyYep. Simmiliar to Raynor's marine model in SC1
what would be decent colors to use for making my entire army in nerazim colors, its hard finding reference materialaside from just green energy and dark colors, aside from zeratul being his own color scheme i wanted to find something that the whole army will match, i was thinking like a dark purple metallic with some silver highlights
>>98866263Deep blue and purpleCharcoal greyGreen for gems, cold gold/copper for accessories
>>98860537im buying a 2nd one when stukov comes out because apparently his hit will have conversion pieces to turn the tank into an infested one.
>>98866263Blue, green, purple and silver/steel are the colors most associate with the Nerazim
>>98866263Time to replay brood war my friend
>>9886404014 years ago. They're bringing it back at the end of this month as Gundam Assembly.
>>98867252Doesn't even make sense>>98867177One should always look for excuses to replay Brood War
>>98845586there is an infested terran faction coming next year with stukov, infested missile turret, infested marines, and an upgrade sprue to infest a siege tank, banshee, etc
Still no word on when Dehaka and his Pack are coming out?
>>98864797I'm doing what i did for my Lizardmen in AoS. Look up snapsheet tiling for train autism tables and dioramas. Its packs of sheets that click together like cheap wooden floor decals poor people use to try and look rich and tacky. Theres all kinds of cobble but theres one called something like "cornish tile" that is a uneven and irregularly sized stone tiles that i cut up into pieces and cover the rest in texture paint and it works very well for ancient ruins of all sorts.
>>98868191I kinda had something like that for my seraphon spearhead, with broken temples and such, maybe I could just model some ruins in clay and throw chunks on the base and go from there
Logistics are apparently completely fucked in Canada but this country sucks anyway so it's par for the course.
So how are people doing their big creep bases without being a pva and super glue pleb?I'm going the good ole nurgle swamp way and cutting up bits to have them bursting out of the gunk and then the front of the base is gonna be basic bitch texture paint to look like its spreading over that with a hot glue transition and the creep side i'm painting a version of the creep design on the base then using vallejo heavy gel with a purple ink tint over the top for the lumpy partially transparent surface.
Alarak when, give me the only good thing to come from legacy of the void
>>98868289Read nigga>>98843979
>>98868289Raszagal pre-lobotomy would be kino
>Want to throw on the SC2 soundtrack while we play>Its not actually available on any of the music services i use>End up digging out the CD and ripping it to put on my phone like its 2009I wonder why its not up on all the same stuff they put the WoW OST's on. Was it ever released outside the collectors edition for Wings of Liberty.
>>98868914I refuse to play Terrans who do not have Heavens Devils ready to go.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRA2nEUmjig
>>98867918No, but supposedly we're getting Ravasaurs, Igniters, Tyrannozor and maybe Primal Wurms so we could get a faction box for Dehaka like Nova and Alarak are getting
I want terrain. I want an actual Terran Base or Zerg Hive to put on the map.Fuck give it an AOE buff and a hp pool so it can be destroyed.Hell give us rules for the crytsals they give us and drop a worker box.
Speedpainted my starter set terrain.
>>98869334Try using a grey matching your stone to lightly drybrush where it meets the brown so it transitions better.
>>98869334Nice. Throw some weathering powder on it to blend the brown and grey parts a bit.
>>98868289>only good thing to come from legacy of the voidPoor bait. Try harder.
"I have been to the beginning."I wish we got to see Zeratul's original visit to Zerus, just a mission or two that explains how he got to the world, how he learned of the Ancient One and so on. Wasted opportunity :(
>>98869719they had to spend that money on Kerrigan's DBZ kamehameha duel mission
>>98869719Would've been neat. I wish we had more Zeratul stuff and Primal lore in general. More Zera is always good.
Wish tbey would release some generic heroes that can be customized, i don't like using name characters, i like making my own characters
>>98870125Cringe. >>98869719We should've seen a lot of things in SC2.>>98869334Nice looking.>>98868289He coming early Nov or Dec.>>98867918No.>>98864040Die.>>98860290Weird shoulder launcher placement.>>98857277Kino.>>98857028UED are the good guys. >>98856334Sweet.
New unit ideas>Chemical firebats that shoot toxic sludge or acid>regular human riflemen>Heavy weapons crewed by regular>Maurders with gatling guns>bike that turns into helicopter>marines with drills for hands>ghosts that have radiation powers>scince units that are multiple scientists fused together using zerg tech to create a super genius>tank that has can have its turret turn into a jet
What's the verdict now that it's been out a bit?I was considering Bolt Action, but then Starcraft dropped. The vibe I get is it's got smart enough design to be the next Warmachine and my pessimism thinks it will go down in flames the same. Archon only seems to do / have done some major IP tie in stuff, and a history of wonky kickstarters, with Blizzard itself breathing down their necks.Kinda want to rotate hobbies back into wargames and several FLGS went all in on StarcraftAnything but 40k. I've got Halo Flashpoint sitting on the consideration list under this and Bolt Action.
>>98852522You shut your helmet faceplate and think of Umojan while the Zerg turn you into chunky salsa.
Is the playmat and terrain that comes with the Founders box only good for a 1000pt game?
>>98871311the playmat itself is the right size for 2000, but you would need two boxes of scenery to fill it up properly for a 2000 game, otherwise you just do 1000 games and block one side of the playmat making the field square and play with only one set. Maybe you can get away with one set for 2000 crystals game if you get one of those huge ass temple ramps, but I haven't tested that so I'd let other people answer that.
>>98868932Terran 2 >>>>>>>>>> Heaven's Middleshttps://youtu.be/-mzfnUIdzq4
>>98871398Good to know. Unexpectedly an LGS here began stocking SC and I'm just waiting for them to get the faction starter boxes before going beyond 1000pts, at least terrain is very easy to substitute for when that time comes.
>>98871761Theres some starters in my area but they aren't moving at all
>>98871311Mix it with some woods and other Terrain you got and you are good for a 2000k game.The game works fine with custom terrain. We dont even bother with "fair" setups. We just place the terrain thematicly and deal with it gamewise.
>>98871781Over here they've got two Founders boxes and the rest of the first wave to gauge interest. Only that I've already got one from elsewhere earlier and a Goliath is in the Terran box, unless having two is anything particularly useful.
>>98870125I want more named characters, I love too any of SCs characters to not want them, but I'd buy a customisable Executor, Dominion General or Broodmother kit. Like Star Wars Legion has.
How could they make Moebius Corps work as a faction?I'm thinking:Terran unitsEmil Narud/Samir Duran as named characterAccess to all Hybrid typesMaybe some Protoss units in there to represent the Protoss who guarded Narud and Skygeirr Station
>>98870859Blizzardo will close long before it ever unretards itself. They're the next bioware after they fuck up WoW Forever and Assa Shartma finds out the Starcraft FPS isn't even real, just a poorly thought out bid for more time before the inevitable end. Archon is a polish company now and I trust them because there are zero niggers, jews, jeets, beaners, bongs, mudslimes or self proclaimed socialists involved. They'll deliver without any exxxxtra faggotry and continue to do so, the rest is up to the community.
>>98873205Trying Too Hard.
>>98873197Moebius can't exist until the Hybrid release so they're a good few years away. However, Narud(uran) is a must have unit imo
>>98873205
Left or right for nerazim zealots, testing some colors before I start my stalkers and adeptsAlso, should I cut the nerve chords
>>98873674Right.And ditch the marble bases (love the effect but it doesn't work here).
>>98873704Was mostly trying them out since I bought one of those 20$ air brushes and wanted to try itMore then likely I'm gonna go with destroyed temples and infested ground
>>98873674Right looks more Nerazim-y. I'm holding off doing a Dark Templar army, hoping we get actual Dark Templar and Centurions some day
>>98870208>tank that has can have its turret turn into a jethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaRcH8K7yY8They even gave a name that sounds like some space hicks came up with "Big Wind"

>Zerg are so fun to paint.>Protoss are so fucking awful to paint.Why is this?
>>98874583One of the first signs of Infestation
>>98874583>zerg are fun to paintHow many zerg did you paint? All the teeth and spikes are driving me crazy.
>>98874583>Zerg are so fun to paint.No one has ever said this. They are maddening to paint. So many claws...
>>98874583So im leaving my zerg till last, just finished my terrans (loved every second of it) though I have a tank on the way. Built most of my protoss with some based brass but I really dislike the amount of sub assembly I got to do.
>>98873674Left. >>98869719How the fuck does this game still look so good?
I've been thinking about arm swaping Artanis. I don't know why but he just looks like he is build like an absolute Gorilla compared to normal Protoss. Plus I kinda want to make my own Executor.
>>98876591Not sure I follow? He looks like any other Protoss model?
>>98874454The OYW did have some pretty peak Tank and Land Battleship designs honestly.
Kerrigan seems...weak? Or at least too squishy? Should be like armour 3+ or something.
>>98878328Auto-resurrection?
I know there has been some interest in a Warcraft version of the game, and I am curious on any feed back on this core set: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16hnjQ2rLGPDrx4-oYCujSYH5yLfw8pd6/view?usp=sharingI have been working to expand it to more frozen throne units as well.
Finally got through and painted some protoss.Just done these 5 with the 6 zealots primed n washed... but now im out of seraphim sepia for the rest of my guys. Hate sub assembly and im annoyed I got me an extra 4 adepts to do. Though ill have to go on a sidequest to get my siegetank built n painted once im done with the zealots.
need to do a couple touch ups now that i notice it, but for the most part my stalkers are online
>>98844396>>98844520>>98845496>>98845500People's reactions to the flag are extremely telling in how Blizzard and society at large have changed. Back in the 90s no one gave a shit about it and it was chosen half for lols because the Terrans are space rednecks. At some point the NPCs got an update and people now equate it with the Windmill of Peace. Not only was the Terran Confederacy were evil for reasons completely unrelated to their flag, it is an actual symbol the largest human faction in the sector prior to the Dominion, who are inexplicably also just as evil but they get the pass because they don't use a heckin hate symbol.
>>98879255I've met several of those people and they act like you're a living avatar of Hitler for gleefully playing the bad guy in a game. A lot of them gravitated toward Helldivers and its community. Comically, many of them are actual socialist extremists and sympathize with dictators of the communist flavor.
>>98879369In my case, they are kinda right though, except I only play the good guys.
>>98878581Take it somewhere else, spaz>>98869637
>>98879255Well, may be you should start with castrating rednecks if you want people to change their perception of the Confederate flag.
>>98870125>>9887217640k refugees?
>>98879369It's funny because helldivers is basically just managerial neoliberalism that they tend to default into supporting.
>>98880286>m-muh 40k!>Muh GW Boogieman Fucking kys
>>98880378If you are not 40k refugee, then why asking to move away from one of the game's unique features towards more 40k-like gamedesign?
>>98880392Starcarft has named characters I like.I want models of things I like.This isn't hard to understand. I mean, it obviously is for you, but you're retarded so that's to be expected.
>>98880416>plz make game more like 40k, I need more primarchs to paypig
>>98880425Thank you for proving you're a retard. We all suspected it, but it's nice to have confirmation.
>>98880429You are the one who thinks game should be focused around named characters.
>>98880436>No you >:(Ok buddy lmfao
>>98880436>thinksnta but the game already isKerrigan and Zegara are auto-includes for the Zerg. Artanis is a must have. Jim is the first thing in any Terran list. Nova looks too good to not bring in any match you're not bringing Jim. Stukov is apparently key to the Infested playstyle. Tal'darim are going to be built around Alarak.If you don't like it, you genuinely need to find a new game because it's only going to get "worse" from here.
>>98880446i think alarak will just be stat checking, depending on the exact buffs the taldarim faction gives you depending on lost supply. Altho it will be funny seeing adepts and shit charging into melee just to die because you want buffs like precision and critical hit
>>98880454It would be really ironic if the taldarim were less centered around heroes than the zerg
>>98880470Would it?
>>98880470still you have to chud a bunch of supply to get them and the faction card doesn't even generate PE. But who knows maybe their templar variants (both blood hunters and ascendant) are more effensively stated compared to their vanilla variants. Not sure how many divergents they will come out with on release but as they're supposed to be the major divergent faction for protoss there is a chance they will at least have supplicants and ascendant
>>98880479Yes.
>>98878977Nice. Stalkers scare me. Putting off paint them for a good while now
>>98880264And Brazilians.
>>98881393The amount of Confederate Brazilians has always been confusing.
Hopefully this was a last game on 1k, won on points, Terran Defense Force vs Nerazim. Kinda disgusting with spamming hidden even if i fielded an immortal instead of stalkers
>>98881479A lot of Ex-Confederates left North America after the surrender. More than a few of them ended up in places like Brazil or even training soldiers in Japan in the time leading up to the Boshin War. Japanese choirs still sing Dixieland because it was taught to their marching columns in the 1860s.
>redoing the starcraft 2 campaign cos of the tmg>Get to the trakshir mission where you help alarak>On mission screen where it says what to expect>Absent mindedly click on the taldarim highlord sighted message>Turns into a taldarim high templat dancing and now saying: Hostile Dancing detectedHow many small easter eggs like this did i miss?
>>98882296If you spam click on Kerrigans Nydus Worm in the mission Harbinger of Oblivion, you’ll get an Easter Egg. Also, on Unsealing the Past, fly a unit to the upper part of the map.
>>98882296I just got to that mission in my own playthrough. Thank you for pointing that out.
Over 9000 teeth and spikes later...
>>98883213anon you missed one
>>98883213nice, but how are you getting them so fast?
Is this a solid foundation for Zerg? I’ve never collected swarm armies before so I’m surprised how quickly you can get these painted.
Jarek is selling wave 3 at conventions. I also got Nova and Zagara.
>>98883213How was assembly for this stupid looking model?
Tassadar's gates are so fucky to put together. Not only the sliced bits don't really want to sit together, the central part needs twists and interweaving only to maybe match either bit with instruction just telling you to smash it all together flat. Tassadar himself only has a bit of a wonky connection on his ass to the ass-cape. However he has plenty of incorporated clear plastic (and joins to his bases by the lightning rods too) that you're forced to learn to paint them or do sub assembly paiting early on.
I kindof want to keep the translucent plastic, so im not sure if i want to make a Tal'darim force since ill have to paint over it to make it red.
>>98884969talds get 2P box in w4 and starter force in like april so maybe they'll come with red plastic already
>>98885015Hopefully but its more about the units that arent included you know? It will look off if i have only some of it translucent.
>>98885036varnish and contrasts/inks should tint it and keep it fairly translucent in case you'd decide on talds and needed to treat the pastic
>>98884934Pretty easy, the legs are funky since there are only 3 connection points for the base and the rest of the legs kind of hangs over the base. Dont know about the second option with the open mouth. There is a whole other set of legs for that.
Finished 1 stalkers. For some reason I hyper focused on 1 instead of just doing both together. Now got the other to do before 6 zealots and then I got to buy seraphim sepia...
>>98885600Pretty, although I'd change the colour of the veil to make it stand out more
>>98879255What changed was white nationalists took power
>>98887353>White nationalists took over BlizzardI fucking wish
Zealots done!>>98886991Yeah on camera it doesn't show as well, same blue base but different blue layer, will add a second lighter layer plus a highlight on cloth to better differentiate
Literaly impossible to find a good angle for a picture of Nova. No wonder the promo poctures looked like ass. The model is actually very nice.
>>98887815
>>98879255>who are inexplicably also just as evil but they get the pass because they don't use a heckin hate symbol.Which is especially funny, because the Sons of Korhal/Dominion are basically Commie-Nazis in terms of inspiration and aesthetic>black and red color focus>main symbol manages to be reminiscent of the Intolerant Windmill and the Hungry Hammer at the same time>entire revolution is predicated on a singular charismatic elite agitating the lower classesSure this is pretty bog standard revolt stuff but you'd think if a confederate flag is enough to make people cry they'd get equally upset about the Swastiwhip.
>>98888729>you'd think if a confederate flag is enough to make people cry they'd get equally upset about the Swastiwhip.Those kind of people need SS uniforms on Mengsk's personal guard to make the connection. Starcraft power armor is nice and sterile in aesthetic despite the fact it'd be a terrifying symbol of oppression for anyone that so much as thinks about rebelling against the Dominion.
>>98888875I quite like the new CMC design in Dominion. Clearly a more advanced suit but it keeps the important details of the suits we know. I think it's neat. Curious to see more about the game.
>>98889832It was redesigned to be easily replicated by video AI models that have trouble with all the little nodules and bits on the old suits. Which they used to make it. If you watch the interview with Baldy McBald farcry guy who is the lead dev, the game he describes doesn't have anything to do at all with the trailer. These are completely unrelated, mutually exclusive concepts. He then goes on to insist repeatedly like a cranked out schizo 'its not vaporware I swear I can play it right now and talk to NPCs in town' when.. No one ever even so much as implied that it might not be real. And again, no gameplay is shown.Its obviously not a real game and a hamfisted ploy to get microsoft off their backs with a fake holy grail title that can replace the built to fail gays of war on xbox. I'm not even going to mention the implausibly tiny development window, since its allegedly been worked on for a bit already. Again though, no gameplay has been shown to date.
>>98890234Trying Too Hard.
>>98888875I'll never understand how a dog-sized animal armed with only talons, teeth and adrenaline is supposed to cut through this shit to the point where Terran Marines are treated like fodder.
>>98890555Zerg aren't dog sized.
>>98887829This looks so good.
>>98890627It's a zergling, Lester...smaller type of zerg...
>>98891156I love you, Sarge.
Just finished replaying Whispers of Oblivion.Zeratul really did have the coolest and most fun missions in all of SC2.
>>98892685I can't tell if this is bait or I picked the wrong game to buy into. Its becoming a trend. You guys just can't keep being this gay, its a bigger threat to longevity than Archons business model.
So I kinda got sidetracked when building my tank and did some weird slap job and ended up magnetising my turret when I realized what I was doing.
>>98892710>I can't tell if this is baitNo, Zeratul is genuinely the best part of Starcraft in general. I don't really care if you share that opinion or not, anon.
>>98892794Imo the Dark Templar and Nerazim are the coolest thing in Starcraft tbf
>>98892794Please stop, I will collapse into a cringularity. My memories will not survive the transition of matter into memetic energy. I will perish.
>>98892830Ok buddy>>98892827One of, although I do adore the Tal'darim. Khalai (Goldtoss) are pretty neat until the end of LotV, after which they kind lose everything that made them interesting
>>98892880Spergtoss players are the worst.
>>98892685>Zeratul really did have the coolest and most fun missions in all of SC2.His flashbacks in WoL and WoO are some of the funnest parts of the game, but I object to the whole prophecy thing they introduce with him
>>98885036I'll have to dig it up, but I saw someone on Reddit (I don't care) that used a brand of alcohol inks that had a strong enough pigment to mask the blue of the plastic without losing the transparency.
>>98890555It's not an animal. It's an alien biomorph genecrafted by a superintelligence with DNA from multiple other species from across other worlds.
>>98892880LotV was like half good ideas implemented terribly. Tal'darim and the idea of more splinter Protoss cultures was good; the Purifiers was a fine idea, but their design sucked; the idea of the Khala being corrupted and used against the Templars was a great plot point to avoid another "Whoa be the advance aliens being put in their place by the upstarts", but there wasn't going to really be a satisfying way of concluding that while keeping what made the Khalai unique.
>>98893097I saw that as well.Jacquard's Pinata Alcohol Ink.The post has red and also his friend's purple, both look good.
>>98890555I can only assume the Zergling's body, or at least its carapace and natural weapons, contain a lattice of minerals similar to what terrans build into their armor. They have a similar or greater body mass than a person. On paper their claws probably aren't too different from Kerrigan's bladed wings.
>>98893210Yeah, I'm thinking of ordering some of their green to use on my Nerazhim.He also posted a short video showing how he did it. How easily that red covers the green of the medic cross is impressive.https://youtu.be/aih0Fi4ejAc?si=SL2fqDr5rVP1XZZ-
>>98890555the talons are made of stuff that can get through the armor and the zerglings are backed up by a billion other zerglings + ranged hydralisks + line breaking ultralists + dark swarms fucking up enemy tech + mutalisks and scourge harrying enemy air support. marines are absolutely fodder in that scenario, enemy armies get obliterated by tanks and battle cruisers
>>98892745>ended up magnetising my turret when I realized what I was doing.For what possible reason?
>>98879949SCHNELLER!
>>98894155Easier to paint, to carry and most important... swivelling the cannon around to point it at what its shooting looks cool.
>>98894323>swivelling the cannon around...he says, gluing 3 magnets in a straight line.
>>98894575yes, but the other side is a magnetic sheet, which allows me to reposition the turret and it works! Now sure 3 magnets in a line isnt as strong as it could be, will probably try to positon 1 more magnet on either side however the turret is repostionable. Its not turning smoothly but thats because its got 4 little nibs that are orinially there to glue in to 4 small holes in the turret base to secure the model together when glued. I am keeping those at the moment because it does secure the turret in 4 cardinal directions.
>>98894575Kek
Forgot to paint the rims black, but my Nerazim are done
>>98893537>>98893870They don't need that at all to do what they do. If you look at their anatomy, their attacking arms aren't built for stabbing like a mantis shrimps. They're built like a spiders for grappling and positioned high on the body, which make sense with both their primary enemies being bipeds. Once they topple a marine or a zealot over, its ogre, it would be trivial to just pull them apart like army ants. Not that its unrealistic, there are real insects with iron reinforced chitin, but it doesn't really need to be anymore complicated an explanation than that, especially with their disposability. Banelings are where the bioengineering mastery and adaptation comes in on full display.
Can somebody please explain to me TACTICAL CARDS like i’m 5? The rule book explains that you gain CP when you exhaust a card. So if I understand correctly, I gain CP, (BM,PE) when I use the card, and then I can spend that CP on my units datasheets?Do i regain my cards tactical cards that i exhausted at the end of the turn?I played a demo game with my friend yesterday. Very fun, but this rule was very hard to find clarification for:
>>98896795When you use ability that costs CP you flip enough cards to pay the cost of ability. Unspent CP does NOT linger, e.g. if you flip card that gives 2 CP to pay for 1 cost ability you will waste 1 CP.Cards are unflipped at the end of turn in cleanup phase.
>>98896217>but it doesn't really need to be anymore complicated an explanation than thatI guess not, but it would explain why they need minerals to produce.
>>98896871I see. And I no longer have access to the ability on the cards once they are flipped?
>>98897028Correct. And using ability of a card itself also flips it.
>>98895673Those are some suspiciously hairy Nerazim.
>>98895673>Nerazim>Nerve cords intactAt least fucking try dude
>>98894797>the other side is a magnetic sheetOK, that makes sense then.
>>98883213Can you post the instructions for Tass and the High Temps? Curious to see how fucking awful they assemble before deciding to buy or not.
>>98897067With exceptions listed on the cards themselves (Academy)
>>98864040I doubt that I'd be hyped to see their Warcraft stuff desu. I like how Archon's mechanical and monstrous stuff looks but I have not been impressed by a single face sculpt. They actually kind of lucked out with Protoss, they're hard to fuck up when translated to tabletop because their "face" is just eyeballs with ridges.
>>98898760I'd play it if they would let me play Amani trolls with Zul'jin
>>98898760Fuck you, I would suck dick and eat ass to get plastic Night Elves.
>>98899370Yeah, cuz you're GAY
>>98897396Didnt buy the protoss stuff, sorry.
>>98898896Fuck yeah. Especially after WoW's current saga dragging his name through the mud for Muh Elves and cooperation.
>>98843978>>98843979Will Mengsk be releasing with a factipn card for his Royal Guard or the Sons of Korhal?
>>98900075Amani neva die
>>98900362>the Sons of KorhalThat'd be pretty kino actually
I know nothing about starcraft but after reading a bit about this game it looks fun and I'm going to beg people at my lgs for a demo game
>>98900362I know it's not happening but I'd love if he got a faction card for Sons of Korhol and Terran Dominion.
>>98900885what got you interested in the first place?
>>98900362Probably just a Terran Dominion card.
Just finished my UED tonk, just missing the base and some red powder, but damn I'm in love with this thing.
Just found out some people don't like how "short" the amount of time the Protoss have been in space for. The Protoss roaming the stars for 3000 or 2000 years and the Dark Templar existing for 1000 (and a bit) years seems fine to me?I mean, shit look at all we've done since the birth of Christ and we ain't a hiveminded alien race with cool psychic powers that were taught by literal universe creating gods.
>>98901952>Protoss exploring the stars and building their empire for roughly 2000 years, probably more like 1500 or 1800 years>Dark Templar exist as exiles for 1006 years>Terrans are only travelling the stars for less than 400 yearsI can see why the Protoss are considered an ancient race when compared to the humans. They've been doing this, with far more success and style, for 1300 or so years more than the folk from earth
>>98901952The Protoss and Zerg were uplifted by the Xel Naga, that means whatever natural development path they would have followed is moot. Terrans developed naturally or, if you believe Narud, were an aborted experiment that went awry.
So what's the best way to assemble Zerglings and Roaches? Are any of the variant strains worth it, or just stick with the base units?
>>98902527Game is not WYSIWYG apart from specialists (which is only marines for now) so do whatever looks the coolest
>>98902527Vile Roaches are a ton of fun, I've brought them a good few times and always enjoyed playing with 'em
I hope the Tal'darim are interesting/fun to play. I want to do Tal'darim vs Daelaam games
>>98843979>Lurker, Ghosts and Dark TemplarWave 8 is gonna be kino.
>>98904288Literally not one single person asked for Lurkers
The best thing that can happen for the Starcraft tmg is Microsoft brutally murdering Blizzard and poles buying the IP outright to make more miniatures with. Heil pierogi.
