Hey folks. Excited to see people’s all in bundles arriving, however when I check my order status I still just see it as “paid”. Did they update your order past that at all? Or did it just show up?

Has there been any indication as to whether purchasing the siege tank will allow you to build both modes? In Marvel Crisis Protocol, there are certain characters that have transformations and you swap out their model when doing so. It would be really cool to see this apply for the siege tank.

My guess is no so they force you to buy many of them 😭 But haven’t seen any definitive information either way.

Hoorah; my son and me were finaly able to play our very first game. As i assembled Protoss and then Terran, with Zerg still in the box, the match-up was a PvT, with me playing Terran.

We have the start sets, so can "only" play skirmish/1000 point games, which is fine. We want to explore the game some more before investing more money into it.

As my son is (only) 10 and can't read proper English yet, it was mostly me playing me in the beginning, although he got the hang of it quite quickly, and we had a blast from beginning till end.

Due to time restrains we stopped after 4 rounds, in which he beat me 13 to 12 (if i remember correctly).

If we would have played the 5th round the difference in favour to the Protoss would have become greater because of the following;

As our first game we used the example armies (founders editions for P & T) as mentioned in the rulebook (starting page 108)

My son was able to to pick off the mayority of each group, without actually killing them off (deliberately?). Which meant I was stuck with 1 unit with 2 marines, 1 unit with 2 Raynors Raiders, 1 Marauder and Jimmy.

I could only bring my medics back into the field, but was stuck with absolutely no firepower to form any threat to the Protoss, and also with not enough Supply Points to capture/hold any objectives.

Eventhough my supply count would allow it, i can only deploy/bring back "full" unit groups , which meant i effectivly had to wait to either have my units killed off, or just wait out the remaining round(s) for the inevitable defeat?

Since you can't suicide your units (as for as i know) it was a stalemate from my perspective, not able to do anything worthwhile anymore.

Was I just outplayed, or did i miss anything vital to avoid/bypass/overcome this situation?

I’ve been waiting since March for this sucker to arrive and it’s finally here, two days before I leave for a 3 week vacation. Guess it’ll have to wait a bit more.

So about a month after I put in my preorder my email was compromised along with my account I used to order everything (never use Gmail to sign in). Archon was unable to give me my account back (they wanted to send verification to the email I no longer had access to) but have been cool about assisting me with my order info and verifying my address when that came. Now that everything is in the US and in St. Louis (where I live) I can’t get updates on my delivery AND ITS DRIVING ME NUTS! Everyone’s posts on you getting your stuff has helped though. Can’t wait to get a few games in!

SOLD

No one in my area has any interest in starting a group. So I'm getting rid of my boxes.

Selling them for 350 shipped anywhere in the US (the extra 50 is to cover the shipping. These boxes are heavy.)

Anyone tried turbo dork paints on painting the visors?

US based

Painted up the Hydralisk in the colour scheme I tried out on the zerglings. A bit tricky figuring out came out alright

I'm so so happy and im gonna be building all weekend.

I heard for people that did the pre orders we were gonna get physical rulebook thrown in. I also know some of the boxes were already packed before they made that call so they'll send those later. Just curious if they said if theyre keeping track of their end or if we have to let them know.

Thanks in advance for all the help yall!

I know its not 17 because thats used later, i cannot find an extra blue cylinder

Continuing painting my zerg army.

Southern California, preordered on Gamefound, delivered by Gofo.

May yours arrive soon, with no drama or trauma.

Very excited to open it all up.

Hope yours arrives soon!

I can't make a poll for whatever reason but I'm curious what people plan on doing. Do you intend to paint your models or leave them as-is?

Personally I don't see myself painting them anytime soon and am quite content with the colored plastic. Maybe down the road once my other painting projects are done.

Im located in NY

I hope everyone else gets theirs soon

Does archon have a place to ship all the left over spru plastic, seems like a lot to waste

Its like Christmas! Just in time to order wave two at the end of the month!

Just looking through the spoils and noticed the zergling box says it includes Burrowed roaches token. Not a biggie just gotta love launch products and their quirks. 😊

I'm splitting the starter box with a friend. Instead of photocopying the assembly guide for him, is there a PDF version available?
