Are there any UCM or PHR models that are just huge stinkers rules-wise? By the same token, are there any UCM or PHR models that are essentially autoinclude (either as part of faction design or because they just happen to be way too good)? Edit: reason for asking: is there anything that I shouldn't fall in love with aesthetically because it will only let me down, or any models that I will definitely be taking so I had better learn to like the look of?

Safety Factor posted:There was a FAQ pretty recently that addressed a lot of the problem units in the game. For example, the UCM gunship gained evasion countermeasures and a points decrease while the PHR dropships were discounted across the board. Hawk seems to want every model to be usable which makes a lot of sense. This means you're free to buy whatever catches your interest. Cool, okay. I'm going to wait for images of the starship game before making a decision (BFG was a huge part of my adolescence, and hearing last year that Andy Chambers was on board is what switched me from "that looks cool" to "guess that'll be my mid-to-late-2015 hobby project") but I appreciate any help I can get. There are some Resistance and PHR models I really love, and I dig the fluff for both, but most of the UCM range speaks to me in a way that many Resistance/PHR models don't. I think I might dislike the hovercraft and walkers, respectively. But I also hate the big C&C-style UCM tracked aircraft carrier. Edit: If I were to pick up a blister of Raven Type As, Raven Type Bs, or Falcons, just to paint, which of the three would be the easiest to fit into a fledging starter-box-based UCM force if I end up going that route?

Grey Hunter posted:Hell yes, they are not a must take, but the drones are fantastic for keeping your opponent on their toes - you can rush them into AA before your other aircraft - you opponent is then given the choice of firing on them, using up their AA fire for this turn, or letting them come in and hoping they don't wipe out the AA unit, allowing them to fire at a more juicy target. That's exactly the kind of force I'd want to run. The Phoenix is, at least in pictures, my favorite DZC model I've seen, and an UCM air force would breathe new life into my moldering Aeronautica Imperialis dreams. Hopefully there are some starships at Salute so I can make a faction decision already.

I'm so loving in. Buying into UCM in the next 72 hours. Wish me luck!

If I'm getting the UCM starter, some Raven-As, and then an additional blister of infantry, what infantry should I get?

Would anyone in the US be interested in trading the UCM half of the 2P starter to me in exchange for the Scourge half? I want to get the 2P starter but I'm not really interested in keeping the Scourge stuff.

Devlan Mud posted:Oh god my OwnZone Commander starter is coming in on Monday, I've been waiting for it for over a month. Then I gotta magnetize and paint it in the three weeks that my pal is out of state. Then, ownage. So pumped. Mine just arrived at my apartment. Might sneak out of work early if the day slows down.

My FLGS hosed up my order so now I have some Praetorian Snipers. What's the best way to use these guys?

Went in for Captain. I was going to wait for my birthday, but I saw all of the unlocks and said gently caress it. Edit: the Atlantis looks way better in those other pictures. Sulecrist fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Nov 1, 2015 |

I, too, upped to Commodore. Although it's plausible I'll go back to Captain and just add on another 35 GBP starter.

Ugleb posted:Four days left for Dropfleet and £70K to raise to hit that 500k stretch goal. I think it is doable with the final surge, but might be tight... I'm getting space stations and a map pack with mine. Haven't decided for sure about anything else.
