    Bought this assuming that it would be iCloud supported and I am really disappointed that it is not. I thought for sure it would be since Warhammer Quest has iCloud that works flawlessly. Is iCloud support anywhere in this games future?

    Indeed brother Ste86uk, it was a steal. But I'm afraid the same could not be said about the two 30 packs i purchased! :rolleyes:

    Somehow i just managed to equip them each with a tier 4 melta gun as they should be.

    Money well spent, if you ask me!

    The amount of playtime I get out of my iPad vs the price of most games I get for it is bordering on indecent! The way they keep spoiling us with awesomely polished games, you could do a lot worse than throw a little moeny Rodeo's way as far as I'm concerned!!! :cool:

    Yes I won't be buying packs again I'll just earn them through play. Can't wait to be getting all the awesome t4 stuff though as I only have a few at the minute.

    Yeah I get what you mean. I've been playing warhammer quest for two years. There has been some pretty good ones on iOS. But none could come close to what they have created.

    Before you know, you would have too many t4 wargears. But not enough marines though.

    Sorry if this was mentioned already but I came across a bug with card packs. I received all tier 1 cards when it's suppose to have at least one tier 2 or above. Sucks when you save up and get squat! I've paid for a couple packs and got some really good stuff so I'm not that concerned, just thought I'd mention it here.

    Still obsessed with this one!

    So, I finally was able to beat the game on normal. What a ride! The last act and especially the last two missions were freaking brutal. I still don't know how I managed to get trough. Here is my team of Space Marines (and their gear), who honored their chapters:

    - Space Wolf Assault Marine - Tier 3 Champion
    Tier 2 Mastercrafted Chainsword
    Tier 1 Infernous Pistol

    - Ultramarine Devastator - Tier 3 Champion
    Tier 1 Heavy Bolter

    - Ultramarine Tactical Marine - Tier 2 Veteran
    Tier 3 Bolter "Cath's Arrow"

    - Blood Angel Tactical Marine - Tier 2 Veteran
    Tier 2 Mastercrafted Melta Gun

    - Ultramarine Tactical Marine - Tier 1
    Tier 2 Mastercrafted Grav Gun

    Besides that gear I had a couple of grenades, which were really helpful, especially that tier 3 stun grenade. Never got any tier 4 marine and the only tier 4 item I got was the Charmed Chrono - and I still don't know what that thing it's good for.

    After the complete play trough (and some grinding), my codex says:

    - Space Wolves: 4/23
    - Blood Angels: 3/24
    - Ultramarines: 9/24

    That is somewhat frustrating, seems like the RNG-gods are not so kind to me. Maybe I have more luck on veteran difficulty. But besides that: what a great game. Can't wait for multiplayer!

    And remember:

    We are the nightmares of our enemies. We are the fine blade that pierces the heart. We are the Deathwatch...

    ...and this sector will never fall!

    I've been hoping for Blood Angels to pop up in decks but all I get are Ultramarines and Space Wolves but I can't complain about the T3 and T4 that the RNG gods gifted me.

    My codex is sitting at
    7/23 Space Wolves
    4/24 Blood Angels
    12/24 Ultramarines

    of the 4 Blood Angels 2 of those are weapons. It makes me cry on the inside when I open packs.

    @Vogelmann : Congrats Brother, your marines did honor their chapter well, and without champions!

    Also thanks to my other brothers kind words :)

    I too barely finished the last 2 missions alive, losing a few dudes on the way, with two Tier 3 marines and three Tier 2 (3 space wolves, 1 blood angel, 1 ultra marine).

    The things that saved me was a tier 2 stun gun that gave me some time to get away from the huge beasts and a tier 3 plasma gun for the devastator that fully charged took thousands of HP from them.
    I also tried to carefully use a +50% crit seal for the whole team for one turn at the right time.

    Let's all have a thought for all those who died honoring their chapter (or were sold like cattle by their masters :D )

    Congrats Vogel !!! :)
    Can't wait to meet online!!!

    I can confirm that stuff on Veteran is WAY better and progression is faster too.

    Actually...I'm pretty puzzled by many here grinding and trying to find Tier 4 things on Normal (I've just read the last pages, I was away for a week)....the game can be easily spoiled and ruined imho doing so (of course everyone can do whatever they want).
    I too completed the game on Normal with just veterans and some tier 3 stuff back in the days....no need to grind if not to get the occasional really wanted and imminent skill.

    Anyway, people who complete it at normal...be sure to play Veteran!!!
    It's almost a new game, same difference between WHQ normal and hard almost.
    Not because it's harder (it is, but you level up much faster and find much better gear so it's balanced) but because you will use everything at your disposal due to aliens skills, that are a really game changer.
    As always, Rodeo games are even more awesome at higher difficulties.
    Some parts are simply incredibile with that Alien vibe....surrounded by xenos that give each other +20 crit (it stacks) and stun your marines, plus some xenos that gain a ton of APs.....AMAZING.

    I'm pretty sure by the end of heroic everyone will be full of tier 4 marines and stuff.

    As for 'luck'....I want a full Space Wolves team, but right now (midway on Veteran) I have almost all Ultramarines and Blood Angels champions, many doubles too.
    Ironically I found a tier 4 Space Wolves in another play through (on another device)....and I'm still at normal.

    Game is really freaking amazing.

    Still loving this game, been playing since release, though I haven't gotten too far due too excessive grinding on my part. Just started Act 6 part 1, and just experienced my first bug. I destroyed the 4 glands, the exit spots appeared, I made my way to the spots, placed my 5 guys on the appropriate spots, and..... nothing happened. The level kept going, so I had to quit the mission and lose whatever XP I had saved. Luckily, I just went on an XP spending spree before I started the level, and only lost a couple of thousand per man at the most. So the damage was minimal.

    Other then that, my only complaint's would be the slow loading times, the heavy battery drain, and the lack of an iCloud save. The game speed and card pack randomness doesn't really bother me, though my card draws have been very satisfying so far. Sure, I've gotten a few dud packs, but I've also gotten a Tier 4 Blood Angel (Sternguard, I believe), 2 Tier 3 Champions (1 assault ultramarine, 1 tactical Blood Angel), and Tier 4 weapons for each of them. Though the random nature of the card packs, and the lack of an iCloud save, makes purchasing IAP a hard risk to justify in my opinion. Still, probably my favorite game of the year so far.

    What do you all do when you get a new marine you really want to use but he's sat at 0 exp with no skills?

    Ok, this is getting frustrating. I cannot pass Act 6, section 1 because of a recurring bug. Every time I destroy the 4 glands, the exit spots appear, but the game tells me that I need to destroy the glands again. And when I get my team to the exit spots, nothing happens. Playing on a iPad Mini 2, with IOS 8.4

    We thought they'd be more of a delay between release and Heroic being completed.

    I'd love to know how many hours you put in, I wish we tracked it!

    Maybe we need to up the difficulty!

    Does the mission not end when you end your turn on the extraction points? Its just the text that is wrong (fixed in patch), the actual objective is fine.
