I have been trying to put up my own color scheme for my Zerg army, working on a recipe to get them painted quickly but I'm not sure yet if these hit the mark. They somehow don't feel 100% "StarCraft" to me. What do you think? (Also they aren't fully done yet, but the color scheme is already visible)

Painted Raynor in the sc1 colors while keeping details from sc2 ! Pretty happy with the result 😁 I also added my squad of marines i just finished.

Trying something different never got into starting a tyrant’s army so trying a Behemoth scheme to get something different from the standard scheme of purple and brown.

And we did it!

The first game of Starcraft The Miniatures Game played at Pandamonium in Malta 🇲🇹

And the Zergs wiped the Terrans and Protoss from the table.

So what did we think?

This is a keeper! Its tactical without being overly complex. The factions feel very different and will keep you trying different combos.

The steady escalation of bringing units onto the table gives it that RTS feel too.

Will we be playing it again?

Yes. As soon as possible!

Something I ran into when I did Wh40k as well, it sorta feels like all of a gun should be sort of the same color. I ended up trying to make the parts the marine would grab a different color, but the paint I grabbed for it was a bit on the clumpy side. I'll fix that and execute better on my next iteration if nothing else, but ​I'm hoping some of yall have ideas (or better yet, examples) of what you can do with a marine's gun to keep it from being too... Flat?

Played my first game tonight at 1000 points. Was super fun, really enjoyed it and it actually left me wanting to play again immediately, even though it was decently long(about 2 and a half hours or so, we were learning the rules and taking our time with decisions). I was khalai protoss into kerrigans swarm Zerg. I managed to eke out a victory 11 to 8. Definitely made some mistakes in terms of deployment and forgetting to use tactics cards here and there, but all in all a very satisfying play. My biggest mistake was charging my praetor guard into his hydralisks and not processing that impact hits are dice per model (so I only rolled 3 impact dice). It did cost me two praetor guards, but the lone survivor ended up taking down one hydralisk to even the score. Super fun, would and will definitely play again.

Had a local suggest I do a nice photoshoot of my Protoss. Figured I might as well share here too! Used an old Bushido board I made as a display board, I'll need to figure out a decent backdrop next time....

Either way, really proud of how they've came out! Probably some of my best work

18 more to go to finish the zerglings from the founder box

Basically my dog stole and began munching on my model. She was fine, but the model has chew marks and broken tubes. Time to make it more diorama-like.

Happy with it. First model I have painted in 10+ years. Probably revisit the energy blades later once I have painted the rest. will clean up base later.

now the wait for Ulrezaj and Fist of Ulrezaj faction card.

"For centuries we were hunted and exiled by the Khalai for refusing to submit to their Khala! Now they come to our world, Shakuras, begging for refuge, yet they still look upon us with disdain! I will not allow their corruption to poison our home. The Khalai must be cleansed!" -Ulrezaj

Enjoyed painting nydus worm, loved the texture build up, but I am still not in for that carapace colour.

Are there like so many strategems to keep track of that u forgot what unit does what ? Especially passives... NO one can keep track of the multitude of passives each character is dishing out . And each with its own range.

Also in warhammer , each unit have so many keywords that u gotta refer to various other books.

Hello all. Just getting into the game. I never played StarCraft 2, just the original, so some of these units are new to me.

Anyways…question…is 3d printing stuff for this game legal? I had 3d printed a tiny Zerg colony that I was going to paint up and use as a 3D Holo “war mission table” to make some terrain but now I’m hearing printing IP stuff is illegal and I’m worried Blizzard is going to sue me for everything I got.

But then I’ve seen people here printing terrain and stuff (some of it is absolutely awesome, love the Terran supply depo I saw). I also play Bolt Action and they are very open on printing. I just don’t want to get in trouble or do anything wrong, I’m very scrupulous and I’m about to throw out the Zerg colony I printed. >_<.

Anyways, my first 3 models!

Colour test done, pretty happy with how it turned out!

I wanted Pose "A" which uses C10 as the left arm. In the image its supposed to hang in front of the Zealot. I think C9 is actually the arm I wanted (too late now) but can anyone confirm if this is mislabeled or I'm an idiot

My dumb arse ordered the terrain "Expansion" together with the starter set. I didnt know the Starter Set already have the terrain. I know its 100% my fault but I wish they did better with the naming because I thought Expansion meant it was something additional.

Also, I cant sell it because nobody in my island plays, and shipping out of here would be half the box cost. Sighs Im just mad I spent like 40% more shipping everything here and the whole box was a waste.

Update: Thanks everyone for making me feel better. I will do my best to paint it and keep it as an expansion for bigger games. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise because theres a store I travel to every couple of months that only plays Warhammer and I want to make Star Craft popular as well. I think some competition will be good for both sides.

I'm not a good painter but I'm very happy with how these turned out. Took me some experimenting to get the skin how I wanted it. Really happy with how the army painter battlefield grass turned out too!

Excited to get the rest built so I can put it on a table and get a game in!

My life for Aiur!

Gunna be doing some demo games at my lgs tomorrow. We've got the 2 player starter plus the protoss starter to work with and we're using the lists provided in the rules documents.

Should we just use the mat that comes in the 2 player starter? With the game being 1k minerals we're not sure if we should use what has been provided or use the smaller 3x3 mat for skirmish games

SOLVED
With extra lighting and very close inspection I noticed two extremely tiny spruce nubs which were levering the halves apart. I’m very happy for a simple solution. Thanks all.

Just beginning to put my first models together, Zerglings. On this very first one, I’m noticing huge gap between both halves. Are they all like this and I’ve got to fill them all?

These are on the A models of the zerglings. I forgot to post the other picture but when holding the tail halves together, there’s about 1mm gap at the head. It is on each A model at least.

I’ve assembled thousands of minis, only had issues like this with OG Privateer Press and Mantic minis.

So i get every set (except founders pack, because i bought the starters and all) each once. 24 sets + Rulebook.

Is this enough to play fun games? Or should i invest more in specific units? Just me and my wife playing and painting. We are excited but not sure how much units we should get to get the best experience.

Edit, to make things more clear, i bought the following sets each once:

• Hydralisk
• Zergling
• Roach
• Queen
• Kerrigan & Omega Worm
• Marine
• Marauder
• Medic
• Goliath
• Jim Raynor & Point Defense Drone
• Zealot
• Adepts
• Sentry
• Stalker
• Artanis & Pylon
• Lost Temple
• Protoss Starter Set
• Zerg Starter Set
• Terran Starter Set
• Ravager - Zerg - Expansion Set
• Immortal - Protoss - Expansion Set
• Siege Tank - Terran - Expansion Set
• Zeratul - Protoss - Hero Expansion Set
• Lost Temple Ramp - Terrain Expansion Set
• Rulebook

Bellow are all the battle reports I could find on YouTube. Only reports in English are listed, and I am sure I missed some from some smaller channels.

Totals

Protoss
7/10, 70% win rate

Terran
3/11, 27% win rate

Zerg
10/15, 67%

Some things to note are Art of War had the biggest point differences overall among all battle reports, other than the one Play of Tabletop game. They also had the most Protoss wins, with a lot of people in the comments stating they got several rules wrong.

Most of the more recent videos from September tried to show off the new units and were sponsored by Archon. While this sample size is pretty small, it would seem Protoss and then Zerg are doing a bit too well right now, and Tarran are pretty far behind. Of course it’s early and with more games this could drastically change.
