Sharks Dont Sleep posted:Im curious if all those missiles and boxes are actually a part of the hull or if they are options that the model-builder was just like "Well I gotta show off everything..." Look at all those missile pods and all I can think of is how much they look like beer coolers.

Captain Invictus posted:That's an insane deal as far as army bundles go in miniatures games. That's a little over 2 dollars per figure, including 3 Striders, 8 jetbikes and an aircraft. That's a helluva deal if someone's looking to pick up an army on the cheap. Also for the same price

I feel like space america and dorf station are their strongest sculpts. I want to like their not-eldar but they're mostly robots and those robots are naf.

Sir Teabag posted:GW and 40K are also heavily dependent on brand recognition. Yeah but we're coming full circle now back to the point that the market leader has other factors in their favour which allow them to maintain their position other than "give x away for free." FFG have succeeded where PP, Mantic, Wyrd etc. have failed because they're a business with real clout who had the resources to a) acquire a recognisable licence and b) gain market access to push the game hard. Also as someone said above, X-wing involves far less assembly/painting than a lot of other wargames, and spaceship combat is very different to "28mm-ish infantry skirmish."

Wyrd does a thing where they offer an extra free model in packs if you buy them from a flgs. Their products can be easily obtained by asking your flgs for them. The problem is that they aren't big enough for stores to stock. Which is a shame.

The stocking problem is a big issue for all miniature games. Miniatures take up substantial space and most games don't sell all that well, but to support a game you need to have most factions available at all times. This means that most retail places will only stock the biggest companies they can.

Did you know that the land raider is called that because it was invented by Arkhan Land? vomiting-marine.gif Also that hover raider is ugly as sin and stacking three sets of weaponry on top of each other makes it look ridiculous. They just can't do good vehicles any more
