I’ll pick through it in detail and find out. I hope there’s a cheap way to get transfer sheets.

Edit: Although a transfer sheet might well be the sort of thing GW can just send to you. I've got whole box replacements for stuff like miscast sprues.

GW's policy is to wash their hands of it and put the onus on the retailer, even though missing components are GW's problem, and not Joe's FLGS who sold the box to Timmy's mom. What's going to happen (at best) is that the buyer wil lbring the box into the retailer and get it swapped or get the replacement part. Then the retailer has to hope GW gives them a credit for the incoomplete product. Obviously, if the buyer bought online, they're pretty much screwed, due to GW's policy. I mean, I get why GW did it - people were abusing the system and getting free product by claiming there is one missing part, whether or not it was true. Unfortunately, the current policy sucks for the honest consumer.

Use a brush with longer bristles and a nice fat belly. Then practice the symbol on a post it note or something to dissect the shape into easy to make smaller shapes Pretty sure you can just be like everyone else and make them from the 69th company which is easy to freehand

However, they may route you to the third party seller if you just want the missing component and not a replacement/refund

My local store has told me that the policy is that they are to just give me a new box of whatever had something missing, and then GW will credit their account with the value of the box they had to give me. I do not have to return the incomplete box either. This has happened to me for both the Kill Team starter and the Votann army box, where due to one small missing item I basically ended up with two copies for the price of one.

Cursed City is down to a mere £75 on Wayland Games now as part of their pre-Black Friday. To think I put a special order in for it all those months ago to make sure I got a copy! I am getting Harrowdeep as well as that's got a pretty good discount and I wanted the Kunnin Krew either way. I know there's already a new release/season/whatever, I can't keep up with what versions of whatever you're meant to buy to play these games anyway.

Wayland also seem to be giving out some extra games when spending £50, so you'd get cheap minis and a free game too (I got some Altered Carbon game added on, no idea if it's any good but the price is right!. I bought Curse City back when it was closer to the retail price but it's a great set, even if I haven't played it yet, painting the minis has been enjoyable. GW really dropped the ball on the expansions, I was thinking if I ever used the Cursed City figs in an undead army, the bat swarm minis would just be the Fell Bats, and GW think I'm going to buy new Fell Bats for an expansion? Pshyeah right. Certainly wouldn't buy Grave Guard either (I already had them on square bases back when I collected 15 years ago, painted and sold since!).

Al-Saqr posted:Got my Kill Team starter box! so hyped to start building and playing! You kind of have a problem with Krieg specifically. If you only have one box: https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/comments/swz5hj/recommendation_optimal_build_for_the_death_korps/ Ideally you have two sets worth of guardsmen: https://www.reddit.com/user/Noeq/comments/suzqt5/guide_assembly_guide_for_the_death_korps_of_krieg/ I bought two boxes of VG so I could field the 14 model option, and also have all of the potential options available (except for bad choices like laspistol + melee for the Sgt Veteran or the Confidant). Have a look at those guides, and don't be that concerned about the kitbashing the second link requires you do to - I did it with very little issues, and I have never ever touched minis before in my life, and manage to pull it off without the kitbashed model looking like Frankenstein's monster. As for model choices, the current team I use is: Sgt Veteran with Plas pistol and Power Sword Confidant with Bolter Gunner - Melta Gunner - Grenadier Gunner - Plasma Zealot Comms Sniper Spotter Medic Anciliary support Trooper x4 Although I am playing a NARRATIVE campaign, and I am very VERY new to the game. I went with as much shooty as I could muster. I think that the Demo veteran is a fine choice, as is the Flamer gunner, depending on who you are facing. It's pretty universally accepted that the Bruiser Veteran is pretty poop.

Sadly I want to save money for things like the Imperial navy or a gallowdark expansion, if I end up enjoying the game, so I will have to live with the compromise of what I have in box, will follow this guide and see what happens! I’ll post the minis when they’re done! I understand about the bruiser but I’ll go for rule of cool and go for him anyways, I want a charging madman looking dude on the team, worst comes to worst I’ll treat him as a regular trooper. Also minor update, I fixed the Transfer sheet issue, the retailer is sending me a bunch of replacements, all is well! Al-Saqr fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Nov 4, 2022 |

If you're crafty you can totally make a 10 man team with all the gunners. It just takes some mild sculpting like how I removed the hand from the grip of the melta gun on this guy

I researched online and looked through that krieg builds on that reddit post, apparently the single-box krieg that comes in the starter set is severely compromised, those ancillary troops are pretty important and so is being able to field 14 troops with the full gunner options, I’ll just get another veteran box so I can have the full uncompromised team, and use what I have now to learn the ropes of the game in the meantime while it’s shipping. Lol GW got me again.

Yeah, I wouldn't call the kit "severely compromised." It sucks that it doesn't have enough bodies for all 14 dudes but the fire support options they get are a decent compromise to make them usable at lower model count.

Having done it myself, make sure that you put the medic backpack on the running medic (if that's what you like), and you should make a 5th trooper veteran (or something) other than a second medic, because you'll never use a second medic.

Building my Ork Kommando team, I gave my Kommando Nob the the power claw, but I loved the choppa arm so much I decided to stick it on my Slasha boy, I managed to make it look normal when I glued it on, but it’s pretty clear it’s a slightly bigger arm than the other knife arm. I have decided that if anyone asks me why the right arm is bigger than the left I’ll just say that that’s his Choppin, and Jerkin’ arm lol.

Depending on how far you want to go, you could paint the bigger arm a slightly darker green skin tone and paint little stitches in a circular pattern near the joint. 40k orks are incredibly robust, their docs often Frankenstein new limbs for improvements (whether the patient needed/ wanted it is another story).

Played my first few games of Warhammer Underworlds on the weekend. First game was a learning game against Mrs Randalor, who beat me soundly with the Lady Harrow's Screamy Ladies (I was playing Sons of Velmorn). Then on Sat, we went to our local GW's Gnarlwood event, only one other player showed up so we played a couple of 3-player games, Mrs Randalor won both (she ran Lady Harrow the first game, and the Shadeborn the second, I did Truthseekers then Exiled Dead, and our opponent did Wormspat and Briar Queen). Mrs Randalor won both 3 way games, I came in dead last in all 3, and the third player won the event because he had painted minis while we just picked up our sets the week before. All in all, we had fun, the third player seemed frustrated in the second game because he didn't like some of the new rule changes (models can act after having charge tokens if all their models have charge tokens, and he called the Exiled Dead dumb because most of their models start Inspired and become uninspired after dying and coming back). Our GW had the standalone Direchasm warbands in stock still, so we picked up the 5 we were missing, along with the ogre pirate and witchhunters.

I have to say I'm pretty unhappy they pretty much made Kommandos unplayable in Gallowdark, seemed to beef up the Phobos, which as far as I know weren't struggling to begin with. I was mostly convinced that the rules were poorly worded because the GW staffers for battle reports were allowing wall breaches, but maybe they were playing close quarters and not Gallowdark specifically?
