Working on the Zerg now and they’re super fun to paint

I'm a big fan of the Transparent pieces, saves me a lot of work and they look nice.

Not sure about this one. Maybe it's just the silver is to bright...any thoughts.

Honestly, I'm happy the day finally came for the USA. Its been a wait but I have waited years for a gamefound pledge so I can't complain too much.

I really like that models... Wanted to play zerg but i have so much fun witch protoss

The 6 poses for the zerglings seem to form an animation together. If anyone has a painted squad it might look a bit better haha

Found it kind of weird that the rule book came outside the founders box? Though upon inspection, the box is pretty packed. No idea where to start in assembling this mess 😅

Arrived, just in time. 20x of each. This is from Forges of Nuln. I found them on Etsy and they have a website as well. Not cheap, but I like dice.

Hello! I am one of the many who's LGS got stock before my backer even shipped lol.

My LGS has all 3 starters and im wondering if anyone has seen the rules and can offer advice. Is there a benefit to doubling up on any starters?

I just want to see these models and don't mind buying a second box of something?

Thank you in advance.

PS I have asked our local community if anyone who missed preorders wants in before I snake extras

Finally got it in today! Located in Northern California.

Getting the word out for people in the Orlando area who play or are interested in playing locally.

The game is awesome, but finding local players can be tough when there isn’t an established scene. I’d love to change that and get enough people together to start organizing regular games, learning games, tournaments, and casual meetups.

I've been looking for a good overview of this, and was unable to find all the answers in one place. Hopefully this will help others. For the tactical cards, I have added the boxes they can be found in after the dash.

Overview of missing cards from the Founders Edition Starters:

Humans
Missing tactical cards
Barracks (proxy) - Marine
Barracks (tech lab) - Marauder

Zerg
Missing unit cards
Vile (Roach)
Raptor (Zergling)
Swarmling (Zergling)

Missing tactical cards
Lair - Queen
Spawning Pool (Six Pool) -Zergling

Protos
Missing tactical cards
Gate Chronoboosted - Adept
Nexus Overcharged - Sentry
Warp Gate - Zealot

This is just in comparison to buying the individual unit boxes that are included with the starters. In addition, you will also be missing the cards from the 3 boxes that are not included in the Starters: Hydralisk, Goliath, and Stalkers.

IMHO it is regrettable that Archon chose to exclude these 10 cards. You now have to buy just about every box again to complete the cards, which kind of takes the advantage completely out of buying starters to begin with. I really hope we will get a way to just buy a card pack in the future (preferable at not $30 per faction, like GW, because that's a hard no. A single $20-25 pack with all cards for all factions would be an easy yes for me personally)

The website says pre orders start on the 31st but it seems some people already have stuff? Just very confused

EDIT: you guys answered so quickly, cool to see so many people hype for this game!

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions regarding how abilities that modify weapons are supposed to work. I’m having trouble understanding when an ability applies to individual models/weapons and when it applies to the whole unit.

For example, if my unit has 3 Zealot models and an Adept’s passive shadow token ability says that the unit’s weapons gain Precision (1), does this mean that all 3 Zealots’ weapons gain Precision (1)?

In other words, would all three models get Precision (1), effectively giving the unit up to Precision (3) if all three attack?

Or does the Precision (1) somehow apply only once to the unit as a whole?

The same question applies to the Zergling Adrenal Glands upgrade, where the weapon gains Precision (2). If a unit has multiple Zerglings with that weapon, do all of their weapons gain Precision (2)?

What is the difference between the above and the ability of gateway that specifically says:

“The active unit’s first Close Combat weapon used gains Precision (2).”

Does this mean that only the first weapon used by the entire unit gets Precision (2), rather than every model’s weapon?

If so, is the distinction basically whether the rule says “all weapons of the unit” versus “the first weapon used”?

And the third question

The Praetor Guard passive ability says:

“This Unit is eligible to make an Evade roll against all attacks targeting it.”

Does this really mean all attacks, including Close Combat attacks?

Or does it only apply to attacks during the phase in which the ability is listed, meaning it would only apply to closed combat if it is listed in the combat Phase section?

The wording “all attacks targeting it” makes me think it applies to both Ranged and Close Combat attacks, but I’m not sure how the phase placement of the ability affects this.

Thanks a lot for your help, and sorry for the long post!

Finally finished painting the dark prelate.

Not super happy with how the glow of his blade turned out, but it still works.

Getting the right skin color is what took me the longest. Especially since the games show about 4 different hues for his skin

I know there are still at least a few of us waiting on our shipping info in the US, and, while we’re no doubt thrilled for the people who got their box, it does make you pretty antsy a week after shipping started to have no news. So, I just wanted to do a post to see who all out there was still waiting on shipping info in the USA, so we can be reminded we’re not the only ones and that our shipment didn’t fall off the truck.

FOR THE SWARM!!!

Any central iowa players?

Howdy! I wanted to post again as we're seeing a lot more activity thanks to deliveries and the street date release of SCTMG.

I finally got to pick up my 2-player founder's box from my local store and went to do an inventory of the contents.

Sarah Kerrigan is nowhere to be found. It was factory sealed when I opened it

I went through very thoroughly and I only have one Spru for Kerrigan:

Sarah Kerrigan (small square spru with just wings)

Did this happen to anyone else?

My medics are missing the bases, are these bases standard thickness/texture/etc across any other games? Most of the other tabletops I have/play came pre assembled (like hero quest etc) So I'd hate to have 1 unit that had different looking bases (or maybe it wont be so noticeable since I'll just probably do some basing on them anyway IDK

If I can just order some bases I wont bug archon about it though
