My friend’s Cthul stuff is about 50% complete after about 3 hours of real work. I had to spend some time working out the color recipes, but it’s pretty simple so far.
The units need purples and touch ups, and then I need to paint Cthugrosh himself, but that ought to be straightforward!

Totally forgot to take any pictures. Whoops.

yay more activity on this thread!
boo no pictures!
I'm personally very interested in playing, but nobody's started yet in my area (Tallahassee, FL), and the two factions I'm most interested are out in December. So there'll be no news from me for a while, but will be following this thread eagerly.

I need my own personal photographer. That would speed up the photo portion a great deal.
Right now, I’m advising my local shop to buy 3 Isle of Annihilation league kits, because it seems like we’ll have at least a dozen players in it. That’s not bad!

MonPoc is still fun. Played against Cthugrosh for the first time yesterday. It was a starter game and so we only played with 10 units each. I doubled up on G-Tanks to keep it simple. GUARD definitely needs to secure rules-bearing buildings in order to function well! Too bad we didn’t have any. Nothing but apartment buildings as far as he eye could see. I also started to wish I had brought some Rocket Choppers with me... Also: Repair Trucks don’t cut it. I have gotten extremely little value out of them.

I have one of each building in my hands now. They are all top-notch products.
The Power Plant has a slight but annoying misalignment along one side of the cooling tower (not a problem to fix) and along the x girder design underneath it (probably annoying to fix).
But, aside from a very faint and simple-to-clean line along the Industrial Complex smokestack, everything else is pristine.
I like it!

I just realized last night that, not counting the brand-new buildings, I have now painted at least one of every MonPoc model that has been released!
....I’ll post photos one of these days...

So do we know when the starter boxes for the other factions are coming out? Cause I'm interested, but I would want a starter box and I'm not interested in GUARD or Planet Eaters?

So the bad news is that PP has no plans to release new Starter Boxes until if/when there are new Agendas. The good news is that I believe you can get everything from the Starter Boxes piecemeal now, except the paper buildings.

Double post, but I'll add that it might be worth buying the Starter Box for whatever Agenda you're leaning towards. Tournament play is two monsters by default. I know I gave serious thought to waiting until Terrasaurs released to get started though, so I can't blame you there.

Work is going to be an unending nightmare until January, but I'm gonna try.

Work is going to be an unending nightmare until January, but I'm gonna try. Did you ever finish Defender X? If not, we should coordinate. I’ll airbrush it real nice. Which also reminds me: check out Wade’s Zor-Maxim and Defender X. I improved upon my “quick red metals” technique substantially....

I know I gave serious thought to waiting until Terrasaurs released to get started though, so I can't blame you there. Well, that's terrible news. For one, the cost of buying everything piecemeal is greater than the price of the starter box, and won't come with the playmat or buildings which, to my understanding, are needed and PP has not made templates available online. For another, having to buy everything piecemeal makes the game far less accessible, or at least makes it feel that way. I really don't get what PP was thinking there. So maybe I'll bite the bullet and get the GUARD starter, as I find owning them a less-offensive option than Planet Eaters (who I REALLY don't like the looks of), and then piecemeal a second faction so that I can actually start playing games and hopefully get others interested. But I'm not happy about this.
