>>98055681Release timeline
>>98055690
>>98055681>TQThe Fall of Aiur Would include rules for a "Defence of Aiur" force list that lets you bring SC1 Protoss and Terran units in one army but you must bring either Fenix, Zeratul, Tassadar or Jim Raynor.Would be kino.
>If you can write a narrative campaignthe guild wars and the destruction of KorhalI would a Billion suns style of bidding units for the guild warsThe destruction of Korhalwould have a rising escalation with bigger and bigger fights until nukes started to drop
>>98055681>TQkilling off Kerrigan, no shitty anime unlocking her bankai ending for her
>>98055681>Thread Question:No. New sector settled by breakaway subfactions, new small scale conflicts. No hero units. Blizzards beloved OCs can eat my ass.
>>98055681>look at the lgs>boxes are way more expensive than 40k boxes for less modelsWhat is going on?
>>98055681>what would you base it on?The UED's invasion. I'm sure this will be something they actually do in the future, but a campaign supplement about their incursion into the sector would be kino, maybe with an army list that lets you bring Zerg and Terrans and linked missions representing their attacks on Dominion worlds.
>>98056387>>98057814Ok buddy.
>>98057823Elaborate.>>98057873>I'm sure this will be something they actually do in the futureThe UED isn't kosher so you're never seeing them ever again in any context. Especially doubly so with their russian characterization. You'll have to homebrew there.
>>98055700>Raders
>>98058022>The UED isn't kosher so you're never seeing them ever again in any context. Especially doubly so with their russian characterization. You'll have to homebrew there.They're a confirmed faction.
>>98055681Would.
>>98058336>hot>blonde>great figure>wears full body skintight suitAnyone would...now zagara... thats one id go for.
>>98058498>>98058336Real men go for Izsha.
>>98058336>>98058498>>98058725Selendis, my guys.
>>98057888
>>98059393Agreed.
>>98059481I think it's the "astroturf" fag again
>>98059393That blueberry booty ain't safe from me
>>98055681We know they're doing a narrative campaign expansion for the game eventually so I'm curious what it'll be about and what it'll add to the game.
>>98057814>New sector settled by breakaway subfactionsIt wouldn't matter. The whole damn backstory is that Koprulu is populated by breakaway subfactions of humanity, the mutant and freaks Earth was purging, whose ships went off course. Then when Earth shows up on their door they all have roughly identical units and tactics. I mean the whole bit was supposed to be that the genetic "impurities" that got them rounded up on Earth as part of Project Purification then sent into space by Doran Routhe is why they have the psychic potential to create Ghosts.Create yet another breakaway and it'll just be the same shit in a different sector. It's just how Starcraft rolls.
>>98060294After being forced to sit through heart of the swarm, nah bruh. I want a clean slate and am gonna do my own frontier conquest narrative shit. In the bin SC2 goes.
>>98062234I've yet to find a single person that cares, anon.>I CARE!Samefaggotry. Kys.
>>98063459I don't care that you don't care you fucking muppet.>Starcraft 2 my beloved how dare you reeeThat's how you sound. That's you. I want free models for this thread bump by the way get on it.
>>98063500Sure thing kiddo.
>>98059938I hope it's the Fall of Tarsonis.
>>98065636Same>>98055681>TQI'd focus it on the Fall of Tarsonis.
>>98065636>>98067471>Fall of TarsonisThe final mission is super-buffed Kerrigan alone on the planet surface vs a horde of zerg.

>>98069859Ahh good catch. Raynor was pretty lethal getting to shoot that pistol against my zerglings twice
>>98072596what did you expect from the Starcraft TTG thread you cunt
>>98069209we got one, bros
Any tips on using Kerrigan? She's strong but feels a little fragile. Is she just a glass cannon or is there a way she's meant to be played?
>>98073123Worm play... not that way get your head out if the gutterSummon worm, if your opponents move fodder units close, take out zerglings. If they're high value targets send out the crazy bitch and boom that entire area now has to focus on her otherwise that entire zone is now denied.
>>98073123She has a nice threat range and her leap is good for bouncing around terrain. Typical assassin play to flood a zone with multiple threats. Zerg would insanely benefit from an ability like marines barracks
>>98073123use the Evolution Chamber for tough 1try to keep her in line of sight of only one unit when you pop Mutating Carapace
>>98073123Never bring Kerrigan anywhere without her pet worm.
>>98071841>Zerg with a 12 HP unitArchon studio wouldn't let this happen unless Terrans got a 16 HP unit and Protoss got a 6 Shield 10 HP unit that could be taken in squads of 2 modelstheir interpretation of "Zerg lots of weak models, Protoss few Good models and Terran in the middle ground" is all over the place
>>98076360Protoss and Zerg may get that in the next wave with siege tanks and immortals for all we knowThere can still be big Zerg models and fit that theme. You’re crazy if uiu don’t think ultralisks won’t eventually be in the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Protoss interceptors weren’t a cheapy salable flyer unit for Protoss at some point either
>>98076360Zerg are getting a big tough unit in the Ravager
>>98077994>>98078746zerg are still going to be out class in terms of hp that's the point I'm making
>>98055681Buy it this game is cool and fun
>>98077994The Ultras might not have super high HP (if the larger models don't already get a special rule) and might come with tough stockthe Ultras are coming because the Tarrasque were announced and it would be weird not to have UltralisksThe siege tank was never really that tough to begin with if it was taking any amount of damage, you've already misplayed ityou take the siege tank for the gun not the armorthe Immortals gimmick were their shields so I could see them having either really strong shields (higher number than their HP)or an ability to make them better (probably removes surge Armor from enemy attacks)I don't see Archon giving models really high HP as it feels like they want units to kill more than they can tank>I wouldn’t be surprised if the Protoss interceptors weren’t a cheapy salable flyer unit for Protoss IDK I have strong feeling they are going to be like the point defense drones or as a Tactical cardyou would need to swarm them to properly have them function like interceptors possibly giving them a respawn which sounds like something that could deal more volume of shots than anything else the Protoss could have
>>98078746Ravagers are probably going to be just roach stats with a long range gun
>>98079868if it's as good as your English no thanks
>>98080176>IDK I have strong feeling they are going to be like the point defense drones or as a Tactical cardI half agree they could do thisbut I have a feeling they are going to make up something to give the Protoss a PDSand the Carrier itself would be an easy Tactical card to add though it could have a generic set of abilities that has nothing to do with Interceptors
>>98080196You try too hard saar.
Another AMA is slated for friday 19:00 GMT
>>98080280I would say not adding the Interceptors would be like not adding the ScourgesBut then I remembered they add the Pylons but not the Bunkers>Making units cards and not models in a miniature gameuggh this is why I no faith in longevity of the game they could claim "insert unit here" is coming to the game to drum up hype and then release a card
It wouldn't be the starcraft general without dumb poles getting btfo by randos.
>>98080661>release a cardyeah I want my Overlords to loom over the battlefield, not tap a card like MTGand I want to shoot down dropships like in the Ghost CGI Trailer
>>98080885I don't mind dropships being cards since in canon those are fucking massive but I do really, rrrrreeeeaaalllllyyyy want a plastic Overlord model :(

>>98084621It was DOA just based on the absolute subhuman untermensch they paid to promote it. Absolutely fucking wild, I can't believe Archon is a real company that actually allocated money for this.

>>98089160Now we see if they actually deliver...
>>98090646>>98092794Course they will! Right? Right...
So, considering that Amon is super-duper dead now, can the Protoss start regrowing their nerve cords and start doing khala shit again?And, if so, could a Terran teach them how to make them into an afro?>no protoss gf with a big afro and bell-bottoms
>>98093348They've moved beyond the Khala and don't seem likely to return to it.
>>98093348>i will never have a protoss disco babe gf with full afro to be groovy with during Saturday night feverWhy live?
>>98093523What is beyond the khala? Is this not what made the Protoss species great?
>>98093711>>98093348SC2 LoV showed they can live without it more or less fine and don't need it
>>98094472It's been established since brood war that protoss can indeed live without the khala - the darktoss.I just don't see the entire protoss abandoning their heritage just like that. Poor writing but I guess par for the course with blizzard.That's one fewer thing that differentiates them from darktoss and the niggertoss.
>>98094521>>98093711>>98093348Read "One People, One Purpose"

The entire protoss species is goofy once you realize it's just a group of niggas who decided to cut all their braids and dreadlocks off
Sneak peak of the defiler. Grizzly looking bugger
>>98094833If this really is the Defiler he's going to look gross. I approve!
>>98094833They show this off in an ama?
>>98098185Yes, briefly. They don’t want to spoil too much yet
>>98099305Neat. Looking forward to it.
>>98094833Looks like he'll be pretty big, I wonder if he's going to be a spell caster-only unit or if he'll have a basic attack since in SC1/2 he's no basic attack and relies on his abilities,
>People i play with decided they dont wanna play the game anymore because 40k is coming out>im stuck with all this terran now and no way to sell locally Never buy into the hype...
>>98102131Sure thing buddy. Whatever you say.
>>98102107Everything has at least a very weak basic attack as evidenced by the medics
>>98103389I see. In SC2 High Templar got a weak af basic attack + their spells right? That's probably how they'll be in this.

Do the Protoss and Zerg need more squad upgrade like the Terrans have?like the special weapons, pistols, and grenades
>>98108042>they were still useless though lmaoEveryrhing was useless compared to Immortal Warp Prism spam.
>>98109222>>98108042>t.Never played SC2
>>98109222Protoss are likely to catch a nerd in some way soon. I don’t feel. Zerg need any upgrades to units because they simply got other units instead. Multiple roach and Zergling variants is basically the same thing

>>98114499We know Stukov and Infested Terrans are coming and I really hope they release within the first year. I need 'em!
>>98114499I hope we get Ghosts and Firebats within year 1 or 2. It just ain't Starcraft without them!
YOOOOO!!!
Havent touched the game yetIs it easier than warhammer? Kill team?Because those are just too rules heavy and committal for my casual ass
>>98116236>sprues are way lower quality than the promotional ones at adepticon and sent to bribe youtubers with>Pollocks deliver in fullStarting the betting pool here. 200 euro monopoly moneys that the femboy and neckbeard duo hit a mid ground at best.
>>98114675It'll probably never happen but I really hope we get Aberrations and the Infested units from the Nova DLC and/or Stukov's multiplayer faction plus maybe the exploding IT from SC1. I want to play an entire Infested Terran army.
>>98117547Yes it’s easier than kill team and less tokens to track. The card system will be the hardest thing to learn
>>98055681>If you can write a narrative campaign based on a mission from the games or on a canon event for a supplement for this game, what would you base it on?None. I would try and do a "Resident Evil but in Starcraft" campaign. The players are leading a squad-sized Terran or Protoss team to investigate recent Zerg infections on a planet specifically made for that campaign. As the campaign goes on the roster of the squad shifts and changes depending on what happens in previous missions while the units within the squad "level up" with unit and tasks/objective achieving upgrades specific upgrades.>>98055700I'm honestly waiting on the generic ghosts and banshees to come out before getting into this game. And if I like it I would probably do a second army with Protoss. Do we know when Alarak is supposed to come out? Next year?
>>98119640I would kill for an "Oops all infested" army list
>>98117547Similar, but the most complexity frontloaded onto you are the cards you buy with a secondary set of points during list building, represented by Vespene Gas. They unlock what are basically FOC slots to let you access certain units and also give you expendable rules or resources during the game. The sort of thing that clicks better after a few games.Otherwise the turn structure is alternating activations by phase, you only need to remember three armies, and you move squads by moving just one model and everyone else groups around them. The big boxes make 1000pt armies by themselves, but the model range is very basic for everyone at the moment.
>>98119640I'd rather have the infested faction be expanded than get the Primal Zerg tbhon
>>98121122I kind of hope they're allowed some of the alternate universe stuff. Let me use Infested Tychus in the Army...
>>98122317>I kind of hope they're allowed some of the alternate universe stuff.The multiplayer reformed Heaven's Devils are coming to the game so they're already using AU stuff. Infested Tychus will come some day, believe!

Gonna be at ukge all weekend, will be taking pics of any sc display unless they are the same as salute.
>>98124424King
>>98124424>>98125289So today was scout day, looking around for spicy stuff. Stopped by archon momentarily. No wave 2 stuff and their displays are the same as salute.I can still take pics tommorow if people still want them

>>98122315>than get the Primal Zerg tbhonBitch fuck you I love the Primal Zerg and can't wait for their release >:(
>>98126758I doth hope we get the original “bootleg swarm Zerg” designs. The multiplayer/coop primal Zerg skins were a bit underwhelming with it all being greenish gray with stegosaur plates
>>98127512I just hope their playstyle is fun and reflects their ever mutating nature.
>>98055681>TQThe Broodwar. A campaign focused on the Zerg Civil War. Introduces rules for Cerebrates, Nydus Canals and Hunter Killers plus has a number of "mass battle" missions between Zerg armies on a 6x4 table.
>>98128978kino
Here are some pics from ukge but its mostly repeats of the salute
Sorry for delay, on the move
Again, mostly repeats from salute and no wave 2, still picked up an extra unit of marines, roaches and adepts.
>>98130418>>98130418Fucking Hell that board is cool! I hope we get those Spawning Pools as terrain at some point.
>>98130407I really wish they went with the SC1 designs for some of these models. The SC2 Goliath has always looked unnecessary blocky and stubby
>>98130411>>98130418Is this our first look at the "Lost Temple" terrain set they said >>98055690 they'll be releasing?
>>98133577Seems like it, terrain looks nice>>98133529I'd buy it

Rulebook just went live.https://starcraft-tmg.com/files/downloads/StarCraft-TMG_EN.pdf?utm_source=SC&utm_campaign=9868635bed-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_01_09_01_34_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-e7389e9cb4-447769952&mc_cid=9868635bed&mc_eid=7dbc384f29
>>98139436Rulebook has images of Firebat (red Marauder), Ravager and a bit of Siege Tank
>>98140140I wonder how big this tank is.
Ravager from the Rulebook. Looks pretty cool (and big).
>>98140156What is that tiny looking siege tank thing?
>>98140195looks like a siege mode marker
>>98140184The Zerg Siege Tank looks pretty cool.
>>98140195You see, when two siege tanks love each other very much, they create a siege tank baby together.
>>98140184I don't care for the unit but I'll admit that looks so cool I might actually pick it up.
>>98140184Looks bitchin'
>>98140184Looks straight up like a Tyranid with that paint scheme.
What is the smallest official game format? I always had a soft spot for smaller variants of the main game but not the skirmish-sized spin-offs.
>>981456291k, but you could probably divide everything down in scale easy enough. I actually kind of wish they'd just dumpster the turrbocringe mineral/vespene bullshit so stuff like this would be less work. The narrative campaign stuff actually uses it in a way that makes sense and it'll only lead to confusion anyways.
>>98140156Fucker's going to be massive, god damn!
>>98135304I'd CONSUME tf
Rulebook seems well put together, if the models are as good as they've shown so far the game will be quite fun.
>>98151904Do we have an idea what the total cash outlay is gonna look like for a full army? Are we talking gw level prices?
>>98153133Starter box is around 1000 points if you take upgrades (and you should take upgrades). This is already playable in a smaller game, you can buy 2 additional boxes of other units and you are good to go. So over all it's not even close to GW level
>>98153133Cheaper than 40k but still a wargame in 2026 so there's some money involved. Around Konflict 47 or Bolt Action cost to get into.
>>98153635>Around Konflict 47 or Bolt Action cost to get intoEh, that's not great but not exactly terrible either I guess.
>>98153133You can get a full 2000 point army for under 300 dollars with the starter sets.
>>981531332000 or so points for roughly a few hundred. Not bad for a licensed game desu
>>98153133I would consider it higher because you have limited unit selection in first and second wave, and this concept of 'living rules' just seems like a gimmick to sell more models analogue with the balance spin cycle omnipresent in vidya, especially Blizzardo vidya. It would be supremely wise to avoid putting together a 2k army until more waves of units come out to avoid planned obsolescense dicking you over. If you want all the models anyway though it doesn't matter. I'll be waiting to see what the air units are like myself.
I want Ghosts. Until Ghosts release me know buy.
Will the Thor get a model? Sexy af unit! I feel like the Thor, Colossus and Ultralisk would be obvious choices to make into units if Archon want this game to have Imperial Knight equivalents.
>>98165011Ultralisks are already confirmed, they said they are thinking about Colossus so Thor is pretty much given somewhere down the line
>>98165011Hybrid seem like they'll play as the game's "Knight Faction" so each faction will need a Knight-equivalent to deal with them. Ergo, the Thor is an obvious unit to give the Terrans.
>>98165575>Hybrid seem like they'll play as the game's "Knight Faction"This confirmed?
>>98169757Not at all. Anon is just wishful.
Rules look genuinely really good, but I hate this Warmachine like focus on hero models you build the armies around and don't really want to get into it if its going to be that.
>>98170972It’s seems less to me that the army is built around the heroes and more like the heroes augment the army desu. Like Kerrigan for example does not demand that you take a specific troop combination to support her. They’re no doubt strong, but not so strong that you would be stupid not to take them desu. It’s pretty well designed to me that it seems like all units are strong enough be effective. Like the opportunity cost of say picking another squad of hydralisks over Kerrigan isn’t that bad.
>>98171059I don't know, the way subfactions are literally named after their hero unit and a big portion of the preview for new releases is just listing heroes that are coming later makes me feel the whole game is going to revolve around them and you'd be retarded not to take one even if you can technically play without them, which would kill all of my hype. We'll see how it plays out, since I'm going to wait for the Brood War release anyway before I decide whether to buy in.
>>98169757No, but it makes sense given what they are/how strong each is in game. Them not being a Knight-equivalent force would be dumb.
>>98170972>>98171152>I can't engage in Waacfaggotry!You will not be missed.
>>98170972I think the hero stuff can fuck right off as well but it was probably a licensing stipulation Blizzard added in, that it has to be 'iconically starcraft' meaning the hero nonsense and shoehorned in mineral/vespene system that's just annoying and unnecessary. Also I may be being negative but I'm also bumping your deadass thread so fuck off other guys.
>>98171295Retarded trollpost that doesn't even make sense. >>98172178>and shoehorned in mineral/vespene system that's just annoying and unnecessaryI actually like that part and don't mind it at all, it's not like it affects gameplay the way heroes do, it's just a little bit of flavor to have points called "minerals".
>>98172178>Also I may be being negative but I'm also bumping your deadass thread so fuck off other guys.Angry widdle ZoomZoom ain't ya?
>>98172346>it's not like it affects gameplay the way heroes doYeah but it could be simpler so as to not conflict with the narrative rules use of the same terms, where it actually makes sense for them to be used. It could've been consolidated into a single resource system.>>98172690Don't you have toilets to clean, little femboy maid?
>>98172945>Immediately jumps to little femboy maid fantasiesHoly mother of projection
>>98069625Fuck that's hot. Chicks with long hair are just so hot. It should be illegal for women to ever cut their hair. You just know some catty bitch would pretend to be Nova's friend and tell her that she should totally re-invent herself with a fresh hairdo and just chop it all of because it's just so much work to take care of. Presumably Nova is a mind reader though and would know the bitch is trying to ruin her and then just cloak snipe her.
>>98102131>because 40k is coming outBut 40k came out over 30 years ago. That's a shitty excuse.
>>98130411>>9813041840k fans would look at the terrain and complain about how unbalance it is
>>98179765KEK
I watched a youtube video about this game. It looked like it's just copying a bunch of things from Star Wars Legion. I have mixed feelings about that.Also, how am I supposed to get someone to play this with me instead of playing, well, Starcraft?
>>98184721Well, starcraft is about as enjoyable to play as a hybrid cerebral palsy and loading bar simulator. Its about twenty years behind much better rts games, even the sequel. NuBlizzard is not known for their generosity, good will, competence, charisma, integrity, expertise, literary talent, aesthetic sense, experience or game design. It would be an absolute miracle if some toilet scrubbers like Archon can afford the probably exorbitantly expensive license long enough to fulfill phase 2 let alone 3. I guess you just have to like the models and want to paint them, your ambitions of actually playing it will be limited to tabletop sim as approximately zero(0) people who weren't paid to play it are posting battle reports.

I don't know how you lot can say the Starcraft 2 designs suck when every single moment of this trailer (using SC2 designs) is pure, unfiltered KINOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbeoSPqRs4
