They Literally have 364 days to post articles for EVERYTHING not star wars. GIVE US ONE FRICKIN DAY!

I actually have a prediction now:

They will post a Star Wars article later tonight.

It'll be more X-Wing 2.0 bullshitery.

I've been considering writing FFG/Asmodee a letter sincerely offering to join their staff as a PR/Marketing person. With like 3 university classes in Marketing, I think I could sell their products better than they do.

Go for it man! You really can't do any worse than they currently do :D

Agreed. The way they handle customer relations, you'd think it's a six-person company of brand new game devs stunned by their success.

Well I did it. It would be really funny if I actually became the PR guy for FFG. I expect to get a little snark and a "no thanks" though.

Any recommendations? I like the look of th MC40 myself. Also do you use WSF or Frosted?

I thought Assmode took them down to about this size or at least the developers.

Yeah, it's... a closer allegation than you'd think.

I know people don't pay too much attention to the credits section of the expansion inserts, but next time you crack open a box, give it a scan. FFG does a lot with a little.

So...I guess we're not actually getting any news then?

The day is not over yet. Wave 6 was announced three hours from now, if that makes any sense.

Are there any occasions at which something might be announced, or are we just looking at the website for news?

No idea. I just know that I was about to go to bed, checked the forums, and ended up going to bed 2 hours later full of excitement.

It’s a minor miracle they posted a Star Wars article on Star Wars day.

Well when I get home I am placing a shapeways order.

I have tried all the materials he offers.

FUD, Great detail, little bit more brittle than FFG plastic.

Black Acralite, good detail, very durable, can have flaws from printing.

White S&F, meh detail, great price, good durability.

White Premium S&F, better detail, good durability.

The MC40 is a nice model. Can't beat the Venator, or the Providence for beautiful large ships.

I think maybe MC40, Combat HH, Vindicator. All FUD. Maybe that Vigil cargo Frigate.

good call.

The Vindicator and 418 are beautiful models. I am a fan of both.

I will say that this weird "we don't want to give any information to armada players" thing has been great for GW. I picked up the necron codex, 8th edition core book, and forge bane a week or two ago. The longer this drought goes on the more I consider if i want to try to resurrect my old army.

Grats to Nathan Coda on your world Championship win. I don't know if you have a forum ID but I figured this would be the best place to congratulate you.

Yeah, it makes sense to value what is essentially a guaranteed ecosystem.

I’ve been thinking about jumping into some AoS. The new factions are looking reaaally cool (Idoneth Deepkin) People seem to have mixed feelings about it as opposed to 40k though.

I glance at the undead, remember that it's still a pretty **** system and decide not to invest in another game, especially such an expensive one, I already had to give up a kidney for 40k but I invested over a decade for that system so /whatever.

The rumors of BFG being reintroduced though has my interest peaked, I would LOVE to field some space necrons.
