100-200 seems to be the current rage for board games and I just can't see the value in most of them. I play 1 big war game and then I'll buy very cheap side games. There's just not enough value in any of them to be worth the investment.

Once in awhile you can still find a pretty good game with good production values for less. Alien: Fate of the Nostromo I got for 30 bucks and I got a lot of milage out of it.
 
I built a Gundam assemble figure. They're very large but strangely cut. I had a bit of a mold slip that needed cleaning up. The kit goes together okay, but it uses a weird slot system to put the arms in place when it could have just use a peg insert. Cleaning them up is a bit of a pain as there's lines right across the center of detail since the pieces are so large. Bandai need to learn to make miniatures but there's nothing here bad. It's just not to the modern standard where mold lines will run along a sharp edge or avoid detail.

The game is going to have a really large board if these minis are anything to go by. I'm not sure the game will be worth the price tag, but I can see these like Marvel Crisis Protocol where you pick up the units you like and paint them as a hobby project if you play or not.

Msrp for the 3v3 box is what, 35 bucks? Seems pretty good. I want to know more about list construction and how the game scales up in battle size before making any hard calls on trying it seriously.

Each of those figures is bigger than a primaris. So they're quite big.

I'm waiting on the rules too.

There's a demo vid explaining the core concepts with the iron blood orphans VA (I think? I haven't watched Gundam in years) and the game's creator. It's cringe but gets the core rules across.

I would guess the slot system is to make it easier to swap arms/weapons?

they're slots as in you slot a shoulder peg into the torso then close the torso around it. It's like how Gunpla fits together rather than minis that glue part to part. you could snapfit these together though I wouldn't recommend it.

So far weapon variance on a given mobile suit is represented by an entirely separate monopose model with that piece of gear

But if he gets enough ally points, he can trade them in for a sloppy toppy from a tranny.

CARNIVORE
Click to expand...
As a final (for now) update, the campaign is over. Carnivore raised nearly ten times its initial goal and it hit all the original stretch goals. They added two more, one for brachiosaurus and another for pterosaur rules but they didn't quite make it. They are technically done though so they could be released as expansions later on if the game sells well.

Mind giving a summary instead of expecting us to spend 15 7.5 minutes listening to a retarded youtuber yammer on over death-by-powerpoint?
(point of order: from the 90 seconds I watched this guy seems less retarded and voice is less annoying than most youtubers, but that is only by comparison; the clean end of the turd is still a turd)
 
Looks like people in NA are starting to recieve their OPR plastic sets. They announced it 7 months ago, https://www.onepagerules.com/news/grimdark-future-broken-truth-is-now-available-on-gamefound
So its only a bit more than half a year between crowdfunding announcement to fulfillment
20260404_190632.jpgi-received-my-broken-truth-box-v0-svwpw2t0t7tg1.webpIMG_1703.jpg
No reports of broken models, janky sculpts, or late shipping labels so far. The campaign for this received around 1/6th of what TC did, btw

To take a fitting point of comparison to Troon Crusade's Shenanagins, OPR is now setting up shop to distribute plastic kits to FLGSs, starting with their not-necrons and OC donut steel space lizardmen
Both factions were/are still available as STL and the now successful crowdfunding campaign (519,662.59 USD) outright gave you both the physical boxes and the STL license/download as a freebie
OPR is somewhat astroturfed but they put their money where their mouth is and their foray into physical plastic is much more generous than TC's at all, Looks like their starter boxes are going to retail at the 60USD range for 24 minis (chaff, elite chaff, centerpiece big guy or squad of them, and character), their expansion boxes that retail at 45USD have are at the 12 mini range with some focus on characters/centerpieces with a unit of chaff, kinda like a GW start collecting box. Im not too sure if thats final retail price, but thats what the gamefound campaign listed as the possible final price in comparison to the discount

Im eyeing these fucks, their discord is as insufferable as the next but the comparison to TC as the hottest new "le warhammer killer" is interesting

If what i said previously still applies, their basic boxes seem like they will retail at 120USD for a basic 2 player starter (2 factions 51 minis, card/paper terrain and mat), 220USD for the bigger box with vehicles and monsters seen above. and individual boxes that contain 2-3 units (around 20+ figures) minimum for under 60 bucks, give or take. possibly completely mogging TC if the prices hold up, will be interesting how it does

Don't know if it belongs here, but the story about the card game Altered is pretty interesting, wondering if anyone here played it.
tldw since no one wants to listen to a faggot for 26 minutes without context:
It was a kickstarter that had the idea of having tons of unique cards being slight variations of specific cards (as in literally one copy exists) and that you can use the cards qr code to print them. Somehow people got excited despite being obviously horrifically bad for any sort of balance, but it did give the devs enough money by suckers and speculative market. Of course in standard crypto fashion, the devs overextended, eventually fucking over the local stores by offering to sell cards online for cheaper, thus entering the classic death spiral of no sane stores promoting the game since they have no monetary gain in it. As a final fuck you, the devs made a 50K$ kickstarter so the game won't die, only to immediately make another 2M$(!) kickstarter that if not fulfilled the game dies. Oh and they expected the players to shill that combined 2M every 3 months or they'll kill the game. The kickstarter failed and that was the end.

Also the devs are French.

Here's a Trench Crusade Cope meme I saw on Facebook and thought to post it here.
Granted, I know nothing about the said game below Troon Crusade but I think its another alt ww1 history setting IDK.

It's a fun short game that does the setting without going too deep into moral faggotary.
