The collectors sets look rather nice, the “marker light” should be useful.
Not sure about the counters though. The GF9 one are superior in my mind.
Nice to see them pushing the Macragge expansion on the same page as 5th ed. ;)
Im still poor enough that it will only be the core rulebook for me, and a use for the Radioshack laser module I had sitting around - maybe model it into an exitus rifle from the Assassins
The counters do indeed look really poor. The art seems rather pedestrian as well.
I just want to know if that ammo crate will fit in my Apocalypse backpack.
Want a cheap laser pointer? Look at gas stations and pet stores. I got two last time I was at Petco, one for the cats and one for my minis.
one for the cats
Your cats must be much better with Powerpoint than most.
The laser pointer is actually pretty cool, it makes a neat crosshair thing. For $10, I’ll certainly get one of those.
I bought a tape measure / laser measurement combo tool. The laser isn’t a point, rather it draws two perpendicular lines. It’s perfect for determining LOS as long as you’re not trying to determine LOS based on height (which is actually a silly gaming mechanic). You can easily see if the line drawn on the table passes through terrain or another miniature. It’s also useful for determining 90 degree LOS.
I got mine for $13 at Walmart. Unfortunately, it’s not shaped like a Tau Markerlight. :)
Of course I’m a bit worried about the Gamers Set “Hazard. Danger of Pre-Detonation if Used UnBlessed”. Will that clear customs?!

sadly that silly mechanic has made it into 5th ed…
The pre-order page is up on the US site, too, but the prices are wrong. Dave Taylor said give them a chance to fix that and we Yanks can pre-order away.
