The theme for BFE seems to be Huge Setpiece Models, which I suppose is fitting for the big finale assault of the Reconquest before whatever plot revelations they throw in for a second edition.

The PHR were fortifying one of the Cradle worlds last we heard, so I guess it will be an age of assaulting strongholds with the big guns.

So uh protip, when you're assembling a Scourge Dreadnought, if you assemble fins from smallest to largest like I apparently instinctively do, you'll end up in a huge hassle since you've got to put the four lower big fins in while they're enclosed by the smaller fins.

I've got it entirely assembled except for the drat FLIGHT PEG. First the wooden rod I was holding it on with painting broke off and I had to drill it out, then it just did not want to stay. I guess I'll have to do it upside down.

I'm knocking up a 3d printed building for DZC, and have done a test print.  I think the windows need to be deeper and more detailed, and I need to smooth the balcony a bit. But how does it look to you guys scale wise? This is the corner of one floor, if your not sure.

About right I think? Maybe a touch on the large side but those could just be larger windows.

 Dropped the height to 15mm from 18mm, deepened the windows and the balcony prints without a bridge. Thinned the walls down a bit as well. 25% reduction in print time and materials.

Two sprues. One does scrappy resistance ships. The other does ships in the same style as the resin remnant cruiser.

Dave was there talking about them but I couldn't get close enough to ask. I hope they're some kind of mix and match. I have pictures of both fleets/sprues on my phone I'll throw up tomorrow. They look really, really good. I hope this gives fleet a shot in the arm.

Ugleb posted:Any word on if they are the same faction, or two distinct fleets? It's the Resistance "two different approaches to the same list" method again. The shiny ships are from Kallium, an isolationist colony that refused to join the UCM and is now basically Space North Korea. The scrappier ships are remnant fleets, with the biggest remnant being survivors from Vega. Given we now have a PHR-occupied cradle world, I wonder if they'll seek out revenge.

About 200g? I think cutting the windows out may save print time and materials, not sure yet how much it would cut out. Now to work on some more! Edit Ground floor (Columns +3 floors)- 94g Middle 4 floors - 84g *can be stacked as high as you would want Roof 35g 213 grams total, or for me, about £4 of filament.  This thing without the roof is 125g apparently. Grey Hunter fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Apr 27, 2019 |

Do we know if there's going to be some updates to dropfleet alongside the dropzone stuff? Also is the dropfleet PHR starter worth it? I'd be getting it to try out the faction, since I'm still undecided.

My friend sent some PMs to the TTCombat recently and they said that Battle for Earth will include updates for DFC but it won't be a full new edition like it will be for DZC. I went with the full PHR Battlefleet and was very happy with it. Most of the starter fleets are a good value and I was happy with my Shaltari one and my friends have been happy with their UCM ones, but you'll want to expand on them fast. I assume the PHR one is equally as good.

Thanks! I'm mostly looking to play around with the factions and see which one I like the most. Also I'm not aware of any community around here, so I might need to run the demo games...

A while back I bought some Destroyers (the Dropzone unit) and they accidentally sent me Destroyers (the Scourge Dropfleet ships). I've got a Scourge fleet already that in theory could use them, but I already have some and I can't be arsed to build/magnetize/paint them when I've never wanted to use more than three anyway. If someone's interested and will toss me the shipping cost I'm happy to send them somewhere they're more likely to go to use.

Playing my first game of Dropfleet at a 1500 point limit this weekend. I didn't magnetize because I can't be bothered, so I'm basically just fielding what I have, but I think it's a good mix of ships.code:Atlas Hugged fucked around with this message at 05:59 on May 31, 2019 |

Anyone pedalling the new rules yet? I'm not sure whether to dive back in to DZC/DFC or just sell out entirely with the new editions. I dropped being a Talon due to lack of interest.

Sadly I'm feeling really broke right now so I'm putting off buying the book for another payday. Really hoping to see a renewal in interest, I need more events to go to and I'm still not feeling inclined to buy into GW all that much. I have noticed dzc stat lines with armour 14 creeping out which implies they changed or ditched the damage table.

Spotted the Zeus with 15. I general i'd say i'm cautiously... hopeful? Did they ever say a word about a Talon program equivalent? They pretty much lost me completely with the way they handled that and the beta feedback. I might pick the game back up with my local group if the rules turn out to be good but i don't see myself doing promotion again.

Haven't read anything past "we want a program that encompasses all of our games". I plan to pick up the book and try it out, but I haven't actually played a single game of DZC so I won't be able to compare. Looking over their posts/videos it seems they streamlined things though, like the armor stuff mentioned above, where it's now A-E=roll needed to meet or beat, rather than a table to check. Looking forward to building and painting the behemoths more than anything else, really.

I got the book at UKGE. The Dropfleet material is units (the final versions of Dreads and Destroyers, the new Monitors, and the Remnant Fleet statblocks) but no core rules changes. The Dropzone material is the opposite: the core rules of DZC2, with no unit statblocks at all. The fluff descriptions of the ground armies of each faction include several units that don't exist (yet?) - the PHR, for example, mentions an alt loadout scout walker that shields infantry, a mized-arms walker between a Phobos and an Ares, a gunship based on a Triton's air frame, and two sorts each of big and very big behemoth. The model they've been showing off is a Cronus, one of the very big ones.

Sojenus posted:Haven't read anything past "we want a program that encompasses all of our games". I am going to go ahead and say we should take credit for the damage roll change as I first heard it suggested here and started an argument for it on the Facebook group which I know some of you joined in on. Go us! But yeah, I read the same about the talon scheme. I think TT want to build their own thing from the ground up and opted for a clean slate from the Hawk administration. As they haven't been in a position to really push the games I guess there wasn't much reason to come back to it yet. Hopefully they didn't permanently burn all the bridges in the process.
