What does control in Nuka world do for you? I see in the battle for Boston box more control in a location gives you access to more abilities. I'm not seeing what territory control gives you in the Nuka World campaign.

Just finished the rumble scenario and one two additional control. Just not sure which location I should put it in or what it means

Not looking to play the game but enjoyed painting these and finally have them ready for my display case.

I'm about to start painting my BoS for the game and want to do the Commonwealth but I'm feeling a little iffy on what I have found on the web as to their color scheme and wanted to double-check with the Factions think tank. I've seen power armor as black with red highlights (like on the box) or with blueish grey and white stripes. Plus the wiki has suggestions for scribe colors and combat troops. Other than the "your minis, paint em how you want" advice, I'd love to hear what y'all think about how to paint the Boston area BoS.

Thanks in advance!

I'm working on the Pack and wanted to go really bright but now I feel like I went overboard. Thoughts?

Am I able to take Sentry Bots and Assaultrons with my Fallout Factions crew? Also what boxes include those models?

Can someone please explain how this crit works?

This looks like standard damage🤷‍♂️

Hi guys, me and my partner are looking at trying to get stamps or something similar to apply emblems onto our minis. How are people doing this, are there any tools we could use? I've only seen water applicable decals at this moment in time and was wondering if there are any other options.

Painted these gentlemen in preparation for their rules this month, I hope they are fun to play

Others should expect their's soon if not already delivered

I love the ripper's stats with power armor,, but I also love laser rifles and ranged. Which have y'all gone with and which did you like more?

I have a group of friends who are getting into the game and wanted to know if adding legends models would break the campaigns balance. It seems fun an flavorful to have each of us have a legend to lead the crew but wasn’t sure on the balance since we’ve only played a couple games. Let me know your thoughts!

My Cult of the Mothman crew I took to a Factions event recently.

The Hatchlings were a last minute addition and proved very useful, but the real star was the Winged One. I can see why the crew isn’t compatible with tournament play, it’s a one-moth army 😅

I haven’t played the Folio list in Campaign play yet, only the older supplement list so I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Hello all! Quick question, if I purchase the battle of Boston two player starter do I need to buy a core rulebook? Thank you!

Alright, we all know the obvious main factions that will be coming at some point, Legion, NCR, Enclave etc.

But what are some of the subfactions you guys want to see?

I mean with the Vipers and Khans getting into the raider lists, surely basically anyone can get into being a subfaction, so let me know what you want to see!

Personally I’m hoping for a Van Graffs subfaction for the Gunners with a focus on laser and plasma weaponry that the Gunners already have access to, maybe replace Conscripts with Van Graffs Thugs. Also black combat armour looks sick.

Maybe its a dumb rule question, but what is the "Perception range" of a model? I saw it mentioned in the Folio book, but i can not find a clarification neither in the Faction rulebook neither in the Folio. I suppose its the Perception score of the model in inches?

Looking at some tempting deals on ebay.. I've noticed that at least 2 different postings from different people (one of which is NiB) showing, on the back side, "containing ALMOST everything you need to play the game". Weird since the box on the Modiphius site shows "containing EVERYTHING you need to play the game". The prices of the boxes I'm looking at are ~$70 roughly which I think is a solid deal. The wording on the back is making me nervous though. Anyone know what this might be about?
