We’ve heard a lot about the game, and now we don’t have long to wait as the Star Wars: Shatterpoint pre-order date has been announced!
While the game has had a bit of a mixed reaction, it’s still nice to know when you can actually order the game! We’ve also seen the contents of the starter box, so we’ll take a look at that as well. However, we’ll start off with the big announcement, then get into the box.
Star Wars: Shatterpoint Pre-Order Date Announced By AMG!
Our goal for the Core Set miniatures was to set them apart from anything else on the market, to really lean into the kinetic energy of the Star Wars universe. We want to give hobbyists something they can truly be proud of when they get their painted miniatures on the table.
They talk a lot about the sculpting process in the interview over on their page, so if you want all the info about how they made the minis, be sure to check out the link below. But it’s always interesting to get insight into how they made all the models! The models do look great and should be really fun to paint up!
Now, onto the pre-order that was revealed in this Transmission for Atomic Mass Games!
Thanks for joining us for joining us for our behind-the-scenes transmission about the sculpting process for Star Wars: Shatterpoint. We cannot wait to see them painted by you and to hear about the stories you’re telling with the strike teams at your table! Pre-orders will be available on 1/30/2023 for the game’s release in summer 2023.
Wow, that pre-order is much sooner than we expected, as you can order yours in just a couple of weeks as of this writing! However, the game won’t release until summer, but that’s not too far off (hopefully it is, as the cold is getting to us!).
Now, let’s check out the box you’ll be able to order!
What Will Come In The Star Wars Shatterpoint Core Starter Set?
Atomic Mass Games revealed the models on their Twitter and a little more info about the box itself.
It looks like there will be 16 models in total in the new starter, which is pretty decent when you compare it to the Marvel Crisis Protocol box, which seems to be a similar scale.
Which character from Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set are you most excited to paint – Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, or Bo-Katan?
Even though we saw most of these in the actual teaser trailer, it’s nice to see exactly what you’ll get! Some very cool characters are included, and even if they aren’t up your alley, you should be able to split it with a friend.
Who are you painting first from the second half of the Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set – Asajj Ventresss, Lord Maul, Gar Saxon, or General Kalani?
The other half of the box also has some interesting characters, but we did see General Grievous in the preview video, and it would have been nice to have him in this box!
Still, Star Wars: Shatterpoint is shaping up to have a pretty sweet starter set just from these reveals.
While they say the game will be much different from Marvel Crisis Protocol, the size and style of the minis and bases are similar, so the MCP starter might be something to compare this to.
