Here the news. It seems like they're putting a lot of efforts in expanding this great game :-) Glad to read these news

Indeed, Julia. Deathwings will be so welcome in my collection but with me buying this new 36 card set (and having all other PoDs), I am starting to wonder how I will comfortably fit all these cards in my Death Angel core box. Guess I am going to have to sacrifice my box insert. Any storing advice?

Unfortunately, if you use the card sleeves, you can't fit everything in the box anymore. I'm already using rubber bands to keep my box closed, but now I think I'll need separate storage for the dice and tokens. One more release and I'll have to ditch the box entirely.

 As gamers, we are never happy are we? They don't support a game, we moan about it. They put the effort in, we complain about how the box isn't big enough to hold all our cards. We're a funny bunch.

A true dilemma. You should watch a film called Revolver with Jason Stathem and how being unsatisfied goes further than just boardgames. Thankfully getting my cards nice and tight in a box is the most grievance I have with my life at this moment.

I tend to store all sleeved cards in deck boxes, so the original box never overflows, cause it's almost empty.

(and sorry everyone, it seems like there was already a thread about this announcement that I didn't notice)

I somehow missed the original thread too.  This is great news.  I love, love, LOVE this game.  It's the closest I've ever gotten to the boardgame which I desperately want to play.  Any new additions are welcome.  Now...to order the new pack!

 can anyone post the abilities to see how they work

A new expansion pack is always good news, but now it is the 4th PoD pack

Will you create a real expansion box ? (better quality, less expensive for players ...)

Would be really great, toady I just have the  2 first PoD and I'm just wondering wether I get the 2 others or not ...

 Agreed. A POD expansions box is also on my wishlist. Perhaps a token upgrade or even something that adds a 3d element to the game. Such as a docking station for the draw / tyranid / location cards at the top of the corridor. Some kind of plastic card holder. That would be a sweet combo! Not sure my box can handle the two newest expansions either. The original box is comfortibly full. However a NEW box for more expansions would be mighty fine. 

new docking station + tokens + space for the POD expansions. I WANT IT NOW!

Which 2 do you have? As the owner of the Marine Pack 1, Mission Pack 1, and Tyranid pack, I can tell you all are worth while, not to mention the obvious replay value of the new one (soon-to-be-mine) that gives you six new teams. The Marine Pack 1 is nice in that it gives you Black and Brown teams. Black is good for refacing primarily and Brown for extra support and high-percentile chance of killing 3 gene-stealers with main guy. Both have squeezed me out of big in-game predicaments. Mission Pack 1 gives some nice new floors and more variety to travel and has Adrenal-stealers. Tyranid pack is great as it replaces your gene-stealers and gives the game much more veteran feel, plus it throws in 4 new end-game floor cards, one with a Chthulu-looking boss that slides around the formation.

I too encourage an official expansion that will accomodate my overflowing box, and I could care less if the new cards were the same PoD quality. Heck, if anything the game should be re-released so all card quality matches.

uhm .. can these new teams mix with the original ones or you can use only the marines of this chapter .?. i checked some photos and i noticed they are using identical colors with the previous teams..

They say you are to choose one or the other but if you look carefully you can differentiate which is old and which is new, able to play alongside one another. Notice the white-black caution line on the new guys versus the yellow-black on the old. Plus, there card textures are different.

Tromdial said:

yes you are right .. ! i did n't check  this carefully .. i want the new team so much , i have all the previous ones and i need their extra firepower against the mighty tyranids..!!

This outstanding game keeps getting better!

After a few sessions, the new gray and new red teams really stand out for me.  Menalauis' hellfire attack is really versatile and the red team's gun servitor and servo arm are very useful.

Green and purple are also good, but the yellow and blue teams are a bit underpowered in  my opinion.

Someone asked if the old teams could be mixed with the new ones : at first glance it doesn't look like we are supposed to do it (the numbers in the upper left corner of the action cards don't match), but it would be easy to work this out.

Good job FFG!

So I got my pack today and played it, and this is the first PoD expansion that I was pretty well disappointed. For me, blue and yellow are severely underpowered, and the rest of the groups are, at best, on par with what the other teams are (if not slightly weaker).

You can play these guys with your other space marines of even the same color. What we did was (after playing the set a 6 team game with the new guys) take their initiative order and imagine a C next to it, similar to how Marine Pack 1 handles initiative. The card texture and border color of white-black differentiate well enough not to mix.

After playing with them two consecutive games, I can say the new guys are missing anything that would help them reface, tactically affect the board, or do statistically decent chance of kill. I would only recommend this PoD for two reasons: 1) you collect Death Angel, no excuses, or 2) you want more challenge. As a veteran who plays Death Angel and wins around 66% against Genestealers and am undefeated against Tyranids (dozen Tyranid matches!), we lost both times tonight against regular gene-stealers with the new crew. Buy at your own discretion.
