Always Board Never Boring is opening one door every day on his Deep Space Pest Control advent calendar from Mantic Games. Today he opens door 11, and ponders how he would grade the elements he has found so far.

Like the tat with the gun with a gun and hand weapon

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

He was my favourite until today. I like that they are all quite different, with different weapons. I hope that factors into the gameplay.

[@rudyjansen4242]

Expected the mini yesterday, so 1 day off, not bad. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I'm starting to think we have one more set of dice, two more sets of tokens, two more miniatures, and the rest of the days will be terrain.

[@rudyjansen4242]

A lot of terrain is always nice, still hope for a surprise, like an extra mini or custom dice, some cards maybe?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

That would be cool, but they did advertise it as having five miniatures, so I can't imagine we would get any more. Custom dice would be nice, if they are needed for the combat. There won't be any cards in the 24 days - none of the doors are big enough - but I suppose there could be a few inside the box with the rules and board. I think it's unlikely though.

[@rudyjansen4242]

@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring yep, your probably right. It's a dice chucking tower defense game. but it's nice to dream.

[@HivisoftheScale]

Watch out! Looks like Scrappy Doo is trying to sneak into Skaven Ranks! 😂

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Obviously got lost. He must have thought this was the Deep Space P-P-P-Puppy Power Control game.

[@HivisoftheScale]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring 😆It would not surprise me if that actually was a game!

[@Mailed-Knight]

I like the rat with the pistol.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I am hoping the fact they have different weapons means they will have different rules in the game.

[@Mailed-Knight]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring That would be more interesting.

[@EriktheRed2023]

To answer the question, I think the left-most. He's very scurrying and ratty, but certainly not without menace. I suspect he's the brains of the trio.

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I see where you are coming from. My preference runs from right to left, but they're all quite nice.

[@joadams8022]

Winding up with tokens on the home stretch doesn't seem like a bad plan to me; by that point, all the other holiday stuff is going on, and hopefully anticipation is mounting towards actually playing the game. Getting minis early gets you through the long, cold slog of early December!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

I can understand that way of looking at it, but in most of the calendars I see there tends to be something good towards the end. You want a buyer's final impression of the calendar to be positive as that is what they are going to remember. That's why I think we are getting the Teraton at the end. To be fair, I think we only have two more sets of tokens anyway, so if we get two in the first half and two in the second half I think that's just fine.

[@johnmiddleton4291]

Ah rats.

[@stuartmc4422]

Any plans to paint them vermin? I thought your advanced hq skaven turned out really nicely!

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

Thanks. It's not out of the realms of possibility, but it won't be until some point in the New Year. I am run off my feet this month!

[@stuartmc4422]

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Hopefully it'll all be worth it when the kids wake up on the 25th!

[@1000jjwalker]

But what shall be in 12th

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

See, I would have thought maybe a miniature on the 12th as it's the halfway point, but obviously we got one today. It should be furniture really, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the extra dice set turning up.

[@jameswhitehouse5706]

Are these space rats available separately?

[@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring]

These particular veer-myn were from the old Star Saga range and I don't think you will find them now, but you can still get hard plastic veer-myn from Mantic.
