Ruh Roh.  Looks like I may be a bit poorer after the 3rd quarter this year.

Why is it always the bloody Ultras?

Drives me nuts...

I'm happier with the Ultramarines than some others. 

If it were some nuttery like the Spacewolves, I'd have been very disappointed.


But I would probably be more inclined toward some of the other factions initially, anyway.  Chaos marines, Orks, and Eldar in the mix too.   O0

From some of the comments I've read, they've taken a lot of the mechanics from their Starcraft game and put them into something new. Makes sense, since Starcraft was well received by a lot of people (though I've never played it), but it's long out of print and the license rights are well in the past.

Really looking forward to this one. And by choosing specific 'regiments' for each of the base factions, they leave options for big box expansions with new factions as well as smaller ones with new 'regiments' featuring unit-specific units and cards.

Rodney is starting a series on the game.  Should be a 'How To Play' coming up soon.    O0

This guy reminds me of Bob, the Viagra dude in the commercials. And a certain avatar hereabouts in the forums.

Is that why he's been so scarce lately?

I'm definitely getting this game when it is available.  I'm guessing there will be expansion packs you can purchase eventually.  So many marine chapters and baddies can be added to the base game it looks like. 

What sold me was the statement in the original posts video saying to forget the promise of progress and understanding.  For there is no peace amongst the stars.   O0

You would seem to be courting heresy all the way around.

Space Wolves are awesome.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Funny thing about this game - I was at my FLGS last night and there was a video that periodically popped up pimping this game. It came on just frequently enough to be annoying without telling me anything about the game.

If by "too gimmicky" you mean "too awesome!" then I agree.

Viking Werewolf Berserker Space Marines?  Maybe they should add even more generic lore to them while they're at it?   :buck2:
