The First Models Get Assembled

Dec 9 2016 @ 18:03 65 Comments

We're seeing people tinkering around with a range of different models and starting to get to grips with the way you play with the sprues and more.

With that in mind stay tuned as we'll be talking with Dave from Hawk Wargames about some tips and tactics for putting together your Starter Set.

I still have whole games assembled in boxes. I imagine it is easier to do when you have 20 people around you doing the same thing. So envious.

The idea of building the flotillas together is inspiring – I should invite my gaming group to do likewise for our armies.

Already assembled my UCM,Scourge and PHR starters, hopefully Dave will confirm that I’ve put them together correctly.

I hope to see a good mixture of the factions. So many people are playing Shaltari it seems.

I like UCM ships. They seem like they’d look nice next to some of Rinse System ships from Firestorm Armada.

I’m curious to see what sort of “spread” people build for their fleets. Whether people stick largely to the recommended starters or try some really different stuff,

Wondering if there is a good spread of factions or if everyone is leaning to one particular faction?

I figure this was a bit harder to assemble the minis because you have to pick which configuration you are going to make off each sprue. So they must be reading the rules as they go to pick which weapon package to glue on. Good luck gang!

You guys look like you’re having a blast. I know our gaming group has a great time getting together for work days. We get to hang out, shoot the bull and get some mini’s or terrain assembled and built. Enjoy the weekend gent’s, I’m green with envy…lol.

See them working on their minatures: They are lucky that the assembly of the minatures is quite easy and not so time consuming like in the other bootcamps.
