Finally! SHIPPING NOW!

By Hastatior, in Star Wars: Armada

You should be suitably drunk and rowdy. I find a complex game of armada + copious amounts of whiskey = hilarity.

This is the FLGS where I have brought, on occasion, a growler of beer for Friday Night Star Wars.

It isn't completely outside the realm of possibility.

Sounds like Wednesday would be a good day to bring the growler back! Celebratory brews and new ships!

fortunately, I have yet to meet a Star Destroyer that overly benefited from petty things such as subtly or forethought

grab a pint, follow the triangle points to the enemy and smash their face in!

My local FLGS tells me that they expect to have wave 2 on Tuesday the 24th.

"That's no moon that's Games HQ!" :)

J--

Considering Chaos Cards source it from the UK distributer as we use they dont have it in stock nor is it due this week!. (

esdevium) Still waiting for them to let us know the planned release here in the UK. Our company have a few units on pre-order just waiting for the official UK release date to be given the go ahead!. Annoying as usually they are quite good and quick

07 Dec for Australia now apparently

Downside of being on the ass end of the planet I guess...that and huge spiders

I have 100% confirmed that I'm picking up my Wave 2 on Friday in Canada. I actually canceled the shipping so I could get it a couple of days sooner.

US based Relative did an order for me on my behalf to CoolStuffInc (since the CAD sucks vs the USD)... So hopefully I'll see something soon. At least the emails come straight to me.

Boo!!!

That's good news. :)

I'm seriously drooling at the concept of a few days off and some ships to push around. Sadly, most of my matches will be against myself. But I do have a tournament on the 5th to look forward to unless it's snowing or anything.

Wrapping up the last of my sharpie painting of my squadrons and black mate painting the stands. I'll need another can for Wave 2. Debating how to do my R&V packs. May need to get a can of white for some of them. Sharpies may not get the colors right on the grey plastic.

That is sooner that I expected. Bloody awesome there mate.

Huh? Spiders are not exactly big around here. A huntsman can get big, but our deadly spiders are tiny little things. The Sydney Funnel Web is all of 5cm and the Red Back 1cm.

Now the rest of our fauna that wants you dead that can be another matter.... :D

Golden orb anyone??? Not super poisonous but man those things are straight out of Jumangi.

Holy s*** why its 07 Dec for Australia and around Christmas/2016 for europe?!

have you seen a wolf spider with babies on its back...its like something out of a sci fi horror movie

I just ordered an ISD,MC80,MC30,R+Vs and 2 raiders from CollecTOYbles on Amazon.com.

Wish me luck for them actually turning up in China.... apparently they get here from 15-24th December.

Actually, 5cm is a pretty large spider where I live. I have occasionally seen one that size, but its rare. I thought the funnel webs were bigger, like tarantula sized, but aggressive and quite poisonous. for the record, I'd move to Australia in a minute if they would let me keep my guns. Place seems awesome to me.

Some would argue that half the reason it is an awesome place is they don't generally let people keep their guns, so most fights are settled with drunken brawling, then drunken back-slapping, then more drinking...

The Female Funnel web certainly gets that large - 5cm is the Body Diameter, not counting the Legs... They can also have Inch-Long fangs. The real fun part about it is their venom is only deadly to Insects and, by a quirk of nature, Primates... So your Cat is immune. Your cat is also likely to play with it, because it'll rear up on its legs to fight rather than run away... So your Cat'll beat it up... Then when it finally plays dead, your Cat'll bring it inside and put it in your bed to show you just what a Good little Hunter it is...

So now you have pissed off rabid primitive spider in your bed.

Have fun with that.

God, I hate Sydney.

for the Americans on here 5cm is TWO INCHES.

So to summarize, in Australia a 2 inch spider is "not that big"

I rest my case.

Also @ Stasy

1) I always prime all my squadrons before painting or "penning" I find the naked plastic to be ever so slightly translucent and that always skews the color.

2)Where are you that you have no one to play with?

Northeastern Pennsylvania. Hopefully wave 2 helps intrest. I've got two other people I know of with Cores of their own.

And my friends are working off hours, working so much they are zombies, or expecting kids... So getting them to play is tough.

Considering how good FFGs customers service is when you get a broken miniature or something wrong with a product, I'm quite shocked and disappointed at the apparent lack of customer service around wave 2 and it's release. We have only been told the bare minimum that it was delayed, and their "Upcoming" section is updated so irregularly and with such vague levels of information that it is practically useless. Now we're seeing people in some geos getting products that according to FFGs site shouldn't be released yet. I just don't understand why they can't be more informative and manage expectations better than they are.

Order status at CSI has changed to "Processed".

YES!!!

My CSI order just changed from PREORDER to PROCESSED! They have yet to change the status of any of the wave 2 stuff. It is still listed as a PREORDER item.

Processed here too, with tracking number!

It will be a day long remembered.
