Can It Be Better? LOTR Collector Boosters Box : Mondo Magic
Tyvar is a nice pull. I want him for my Elf Tribal
Aunty Kaz was thinking the same thing about tribal elves
Fire Moth be zoomin'......
Yeah I've played a couple games with and against them if the move last it's guaranteed to get out of LOS and hit someones rear armor. And even when it gets caught out the TMM is so high it's pain to hit even at close range
That's awful that you didn't get any poster cards! I opened 2 boxes last week and got 3 of the poster mini packs, the bottom of the mini booster wrapper was folded and had a second pack attached/ nestled in to it. Must be bad quality control.
Well at least some people are getting bonus ones. Yeah wizards of the coast obviously need to step up quality control
Sorry you didn’t get your art cards. Have you reached out to wizards about it?
Was ignored on Twitter will email them but we've heard their customer support is terrible. Have you had any experience with them?
@@2manmeta not personally but I’ve heard the same regarding the customer support. Hopefully since you opened this on camera , it’ll give enough proof to your claim. My nightmare bundle comes in on the 29th (Amazon) so fingers crossed mine has those cards since they were a main selling point for me
Hopefully you won't have the same problem the second box we open was find and had the same batch codes so hopefully it was a one off
I only got 1 mythic and the second i got in my collector's pack, was just one of the comanders from the comander structure decks 😢. We both pulled the same foil room in the collector's pack ha
Yeah the variance in these seems off I'd rather have gotten 2 pre release kits especially as I didn't get the promo cards. Wait until you see the second video. Did you buy more than one box?
Oof mines coming soon
Hope yours is better than this one
Its not really a bunny deck, its a group hug deck with a bunny commander
Yep I should looked at the deck list before I got to excited
Big fan of the Vulture, this is a terrific box.
Yeah it's a good box for sure. Are you a fan of the vulture in alphastrike, classic or in general?
Icy Ferret sounds like a euphemism for something. "I'm sorry sir, you have contracted Icy Ferret." Anyway, nice models!
Icy ferret? That's $20 extra
Hey, gotta be better than the old days of hiding a pile of White Dwarf magazines under a green tablecloth!
Ah yes I remember those days
I've played MechWarrior Online for years so the Piranha has a special place for me, because late game it will shred exposed internal structure. The Incubus is also great and versatile, but the Vapor Eagle one of my favorites because at least in MWO you can mount a LBX-10 and four SRM-6, basically making it a mini Atlas that will deal loads of damage. Still have to figure out what will work in Battletech.
That sounds awesome. I think the way to work out what works is to just get playing because even of you pick either classic or alphastrike you still don't know what optional rules you local group is going play and with alphastrike the terrain your group uses really effects which mechs perform best. If the simulation aspect of mechwarrior is what you enjoy most dive into battletech classic, if your new to miniature games jump on alphastrike the rules are less intimidating and is a fast fun game. Luckily if you buy models they work perfectly in both system. Personally I pick mechs with big firepower or that look pretty then keep picking more until I hit the points limit
@@2manmeta Yeah just played in my first game in a long time at a local game store today. Mistakes were made and lessons learned! Gunnery and pilot skills are so important to manage as well as having a lance makeup that can adapt to open and closed terrain. All great stuff though and am looking forward to the next get together!
That's great to hear glad you enjoyed it. Yes in my first alphastrike games with swift we were building different on purpose to see what works. He played a lot skillb 1 and 2, I played aiming to weight of damage dice. Turned out hitting more consistently in that game won over brute force
Man, that Turkina model is sick, love it!
I wasn't sold at first but it's growing on me. The ebon Jaguar is my favorite in this box
Direwolf A variant is one of my favorites. 1 guass rifle, 3 lg pulse and 2 streak 6's and ams. Perfection
It's a beautiful model with great stats
I've had this piece for more than a decade. Fun pieces, but I find many people do not want to play on it for whatever reason. Also, have some of the other pieces in this series.
Really that's weird. How does it hold up over time? Much damage to it?
@2manmeta It has stood up wonderfully. I keep mine in the original box and that secures it wonderfully. Only complaint I have is that my toxic pools kit falls out of the box often just due to the design. One caveat to how it holds up, I never added any of the static grass to the edges. Back in the day each kit came with a small bag or two of it. But so far I have not had any sort of chipping or physical damage. Hope you get many hours of enjoyment out of yours.
Yeah I got the flock in one my boxes. I've noticed a few bubbles holes from the casting after a lot more looking but they clearly aren't that noticeable. Are your pools flexible? I got some and they bend a lot
@@2manmeta mine are not. They are ridged and about a half inch thick
I must have just got one that slipped through quality control
These models are pretty cool!
Yeah battletech has some great designs and catalyst have done a great job on the models
I take it you blokes are AS guys because those variants are the same in AS were designed decades before AS was a thing and are minor weapon variations in classic which dont translate into different stats in AS. Master unit list is the place for radically different variations.
Yes. Both new to the game and focused more to alpha strike at the moment, don't get me wrong classic is an amazing game just focused on quick and easy at the moment. Yeah it's a shame the minor differences get lost in translation to alpha strike. I wish they'd just print more card packs for the stuff that's only on the master unit list. I really enjoy list building by sorting through cards and they are really handy in game over print outs or rosters
The Kodiak (Prime) has 8 ER Medium lasers (4 each arm), 2 Streak SRM6's in the left torso, an Ultra AC20 in the right torso & a ER Large Laser in the Centre Torso. Its a totem mech for Clan Ghost Bear as well
That's a good amount good fire power
Have you ever thought about doing a lore video to explain the eras and how they apply to the game?
Yes but I'm still pretty new to the lore so I'd want do a lot more reading first. I'll put it on the to do list thanks
Hi am Oliver or mr Webster 0889
Nice
It's a box I bought purely for the Shadow Cat and the Thor, and the Thor was only because I grew up loving the cartoon.
I loved the cartoon as a kid. I bought it because I'm buying everything but it was a pleasant surprise. Both those mechs alone are reason tho. I love them both just opening the box
The box was made prior to ilclan being a thing they are available in that era as well
Thanks for the update.
I have yet to see a single tournament organizer who requires you to have a lore-accurate unit list. 😃
More fun for some people to play fluffy. Personal I don't know enough lore yet to play like that anyway
@@nyandyn all of my local is meta is lore based you do you though
Sounds like good bunch play for love of the story
Hey just watched your other videos on .hack enemy, this is the last one I'm watching (went in the wrong order lol). Good content, good to watch for a channel with only 85 subscribers.
Thanks hoping jump back into dot hack at some point
The wacker looks exactly like the video games MWO.
It's really cool they are doing that
Nightstar looks like a modded up ED-209. Much better looking than the one used by piranha games in mechwarrior online. I guess there is some collaboration between the tabletop upgrade art and the online video games , from what I heard at Adepticon. The new Universe book looks great.
That's probably why I love it then. I'll have to have a look at that I haven't gotten into mechwarrior properly yet
My son is obsessed with the Panther and drives the Jenner like a crazy person. And I'm a big fan of the Blackjack and Wolfhound, so I'm definitely picking this one up.
Yeah it's definitely worth picking up. I'll be getting at least one of every box to do a video on. So close to catching up with the current releases
Oh, so they fixed the mold line on the left glass?
I'm guessing so. I haven't had that much of a problem with mold lines on models or I just haven't painted enough of my models to notice. Has it been a problem with catalysts stuff?
Sorry, I was referring to the Marauder. Yeah, it has a bad seam placement issue, that deforms the left canopy glass. Looks clean in your video, though. So I assumed the factory updated the mold
i just had a game with this lance and oh boy, twin LRM 20s with artemis can be devastating to deal with and far more if supported with a marauder with twin ER PPC's.
I really need to start playing classic
The nightstar with Brubaker is a the best mech in my current campaign company.
Cool what campaign are you in
Ugh, adding another force pack to my list... I need a Bushwacker. And I would like a Cataphract.
I can confirm you need a bushwacker, tell your bank manager I approved these purchase as essentials. It's a really nice mech
It does look like a good lance that can hit like a damned truck.
Yeah I really like this one. I'm looking forward to finishing the inner sphere lances in a couple of weeks and seeing the fire power in some clan stars
Its a good box!!😊
Yeah I'm pretty happy with it
Really nice box!! :D
Those Mechs look so good!
Yeah catalyst have put out really nice models and the marauder and acher designs are fantastic
Looking good boys, keep it up. I can edit your audio for it to look more pro. Look up how to do it.
Thanks man. These older videos had minimal editing and were done a tablet. Much easier now I've got a good PC but still need to mess about with audio settings.
I defo Enjoyed this pack as a Kuritan Enjoyer
I just need to spend more time reading the lore to have a better appreciation of the boxes beyond the damage at long range
@@2manmeta well through Salvage anything is possible but the Spider and dragon are Kurita favourite and manufactured, the Thug was Cannibalised along with the Charger to make the Hatamoto Chi
That's really cool. So far I've only managed to get through the comstar source book but absolutely loved it. Guess kurita is next on my list
I have an example of every IS box and 1 Merc box I'm glad to see more English folk
We should have a video for every current box the the middle of August and plenty more battletech content in between
@@2manmeta with those new ones announced and the kickstarter entering the market i look forward to it
I dying for catalyst to get them on shelves
@@2manmeta preferably amazon or another one that reaches the UK and doesn't cost me 100 extra fro 2 boxes 😅🤦♂️
Zatu is always my first choice
got the code, thank you very much :)
Enjoy. Check out the other videos for codes
Worth noting, the Hatchetman in lore has a full head ejection system, so the head kind of is a separate craft in a way.
That's cool that it comes across so well in the design
That first pack was disgusting
First and gay
Nah I definitely watched it before you
They look sweet, but they are hard to find.
Yeah I had to import them the US to get hold of them in the UK.
You can mount the Thunderbolt on the base without the smoke plume in a running pose but one foot peg hole is smaller than the other so it only fits one way on the base you probably just had it the wrong way around
Yeah you're right just managed to get it on. Looks loads better running in my opinion
Brings back memories of reading “The Spider and the Wolf” back in the day.
It's next on my reading list
Prefer any Comstar/word of blake related stuff after 3145, they change from being pretty much a terrorist faction to be part of the good guys(clan sea fox) and get clan tech it's like a win win.
That's cool I'm always torn with in era because everyone seems like the good guys and bad guys at the same except the draconis combine those guys never seem like the good guys. So far I've liked every era of comstar for different reasons they seem so well written
@@2manmeta in most of the time eras draconis combine and capellan confederation seams to take turnes in who is the main "bad guy" or villian.
I'm looking forward to getting deeper into the lore with more source books. I'm thinking star league and mercenaries next as what I've read about wolfs dragoons seems great
Love this set for the crab, it was my instruction to Battletech!
Seems like a really great way into the game. This is such a great mix of mechs and more than a standard lance gives you play around as well. I just hope we get a comstar card pack for alpha strike with extra variants of these mechs. I know MUL is thing I just really like how handy and well designed the cards are
I wish it had come with Kai's Alpha Strike card. Hope you enjoy your set, I've enjoyed that one so far.
Yeah I wish the beginner boxes came with alpha strike cards, it's my only complaint really. The clan invasion box was a pain as well alpha strike cards for all the mechs but not the elementals. As a n00b I really like the alpha strike cards as an option over MUL until I have some idea what each mech does
@@2manmeta I feel you. I like the box set cards over MUL too (as grateful as I am for that tool). I was hoping to have the YLW Centurion's card rather than a printed one, but alas. But you've given me a video idea, so I thank you for that.
Yeah I bought the succession wars and clan invasion packs because physical cards are just nice to have and use. Plus I don't want read through 34 locusts, think I've got 10 in alpha strike cards as it is
The Centurion is the model of one of the Yen Lo Wang mech, and is the collecter draw, though it stats in the box is a standard one.
Thanks for clearing that up
Good luck with the painting👍🏻
Thanks I'll need it I'm bad at painting and the models are so nice and I love marvel so trying to learn to improve my painting so I can do them justice. Air brush here I come
@@2manmeta Airbrush for a zenithal, then Speed Paints, which gives a quick easy comic book look 👍🏻
...and have fun 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks that be my goal
I found thos on Switch and used to win almost every match with Death. It was a very fun game
Thats cool which cards or just everything in this box?
Looks fine, though two things, 1) some of those might have outdated stats, though if you gave a table rule saying that you are using the card values over what might be on MUL that would work. Also quite a few of these models pictured are older sculptures because at time of printing they don't have new plastic. The unit ablities are optional, not sure these particular ones are written for AS or CBT but originally they were presented in the various Field Manuals. These are probably the AS versions listed as Special Command Abilities in the AS Commanders Edition book.
I was hoping the old models on the cards was just as place fillers as they were probably released before a lot of the new models. Thanks for the information I'll have to try and check them against MUL and see if they are up to date
