“With the Executor under my command, I will be the ultimate power in the universe!”
Hey PI-Fans,
Rebel Spies bring dire news. It’s the big boy himself. The Executor-class Super Star Destroyer for Star Wars Armada is now available to order, and it dwarfs everything else released so far by a massive margin.
The Super Star Destroyer expansion pack will go on preorder at $360 and quantities are limited.
Preorders are open this week for the Super Star Destroyer Expansion for Star Wars Armada and will close on Friday, 19/7/19.*
The Super Star Destroyer Expansion Pack arrives to swell the forces of the Galactic Empire with the first ship of an entirely new class—huge ships. The pre-painted, beautifully sculpted Super Star Destroyer miniature within this expansion is the largest miniature yet created by Fantasy Flight Games, measuring over 24 inches from tip to tip.
Of course, such a huge miniature serves as a stunning reminder of Imperial might on the battlefield—and it’s also a fully functional warship that you can add to your Imperial fleets. With four unique ship sheets, an assortment of tokens, and twenty-four upgrade cards, including iconic commanders like Admiral Piett and Emperor Palpatine, any rival fleet will tremble to face the might of your onslaught.
* As quantities are limited, please place an order with a 50% deposit at Games @ PI to reserve your copy. In the event of shortage, SSDs will be allocated in the chronological order in which their orders were placed.
As they like to say, ‘In the Grim Darkness of the far future, there is only war’. At Games @ PI, we like our wars contained primarily to the tabletop, so what better way to celebrate the hobby than to have a Warhammer 40,000 Weekend on the 27th and 28th of July.

We’ve been slightly overwhelmed of late due to the database migration, but the freight train of releases isn’t stopping.
Here’s just some of the new stuff that’s floated in over the week.
Take to the stars and become a living legend in Star Wars: Outer Rim, a game of bounty hunters, mercenaries, and smugglers for 1-4 players! In Outer Rim, you take on the role of an underworld denizen, setting out to make your mark on the galaxy. You’ll travel the outer rim in your personal ship, hire legendary Star Wars characters to join your crew, and try to become the most famous (or infamous) outlaw in the galaxy! Do you have what it takes to survive in the outer rim and become a living legend?
Disaster has struck! Cities around the world are in desperate need of food, water, vaccines, and other supplies. You and your team belong to the Crisis Response Unit (CRU), an elite team of doctors and specialists. With a specially equipped plane, you are uniquely capable of providing life-saving aid — anytime, anywhere. Pandemic: Rapid Response is a race against time. Roll dice to create supplies, fly the plane, and make deliveries to cities in need. As the timer counts down, you must quickly coordinate and work together to react to new disasters. Will you and your team be able to respond in time?
In Space Base, players assume the roles of Commodores of a small fleet of ships. Ships begin docked at their stations and are then deployed to sectors as new ships are commissioned under your command. Space Base is a quick-to-learn, quick-to-play strategic engine builder. The cards you buy and the order you buy them in have interesting implications on your engine beyond just the ability on the card you buy, making for a different type of engine construction than seen in similar games.
Smash Up International Incident is the start of a year-long trip around the four corners of the world to visit some of the coolest heroes that different cultures have to offer! The Luchadores bring their high-flying, death-defying wrestling combinations to the fight, and the Mounties are at their strongest while they get their man and keep the Great White North safe! The Musketeers use their explosive action chains to gallantly defeat enemies, and the Sumo Wrestlers bulk up and throw their weight around, knocking their enemies away from the base. World Tour: International Incident is compatible with all other Smash Up expansions!

What could go wrong, you ask? Well… clearly our Games Workshop prices have clearly failed to import properly. Apparently, an error somewhere has led to the system applying the GST tax value as a discount. I guess this sort of makes it an accidental 7% sale on all mispriced Games Workshop products until we can get this fixed.
We’re honestly not exactly sure why this is happening so while our expert technicians assess the problem and squash the bugs (or run in circles screaming… pick one). And since the system has declared this apparently is stacking with our current membership promotion leading up to PIe Day, I guess this mostly works out in your favour.
Judging by the above list, since the direction of prices is, for the most part, consistently moving in a single direction (and that direction is apparently UP), we’re putting together one final GW order to squeak in under the bar so to speak.
If you want in as a customer, here’s how it’s going to work: Active Games @ PI Members can place pre-orders at the store or by contacting the store directly by phone to place orders for items on the list of items currently undergoing revisions. The deadline for last call orders to reach us is 10pm, Thursday 4th July.
We’re sorry for the disruptions.
– Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager
TLDR: GW Items In Store Accidentally Priced Down By 7%. Price Rise coming 8th July. Last chance to order at old price closes 10pm, 4th July.
“Don’t try to change the Crucible to fit your needs. Let it change you.”
Hey PI-Fans,
Have you tried Keyforge yet? With Keyforge, Richard Garfield does away with deckbuilding entirely, with each booster containing an entirely unique deck allowing players to literally open a pack and leap into the action. Step into in the shoes of a mighty Archon, racing to forge keys that unlock the Crucible.
Interested? Well Games @ PI is here to help you get started!
For the month of July, Games @ PI is rolling out our Keyforge “Get Started” Bundle which contains everything you need to get started with four unique Keyforge decks and all the accessories you’ll need to play the game. *
Grab a Keyforge Age of Ascension Starter Set and a pair of Keyforge Call of the Archon decks at $60
Of course, Keyforge is better with friends, so don’t forget to grab a Keyforge Crucible Pass, redeemable for free entry into an Open Archon event on Keyforge Chainbound Nights at Games @ PI.**
Sounds good?
Well, we’re looking forward to seeing you at the next event then.
– Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager
* Contents of the Keyforge “Get Started” Bundle sold as is. No replacing of items. Promotion ends 31/7/19. ** Games @ PI Chainbound Night are run every Friday. Check our social media pages for details on the type of event being run weekly.
TLDR: Membership System Updates Coming. Also PI-Day on 22/7.
Hey PI-Fans,
We’ve always jokingly claimed that Tzeentch, Warhammer’s Chaos deity of Change is the store patron. Well… things are afoot.
This time it’s the store membership system: The current system is going away…
But fear not. We’re not going to leave you hanging.
Here’s how it’s going to work.
Games @ PI Members will recieve the following benefits when shopping in our store:
• A 5% Discount Off the Listed Price For All Purchases* • An Additional 5% Discount During The Customer’s Birthday Month • The Accumulation of PI Points
PI Points are our revamped membership reward system, which are accumulated with every $10 spent in a single receipt. With thefull rollout of the system on 22/7**, PI Points will be redeemable for rebate vouchers, event passes and special member exclusive product redemption.
Keep your eyes peeled for more details, which will be announced closer to the date.
Want to become a Games @ PI member? Well, you can look forward to the end of your yearly $10 sign up fees. Membership is now automatic and free for any purchase of $300 or more within a single receipt and will remain active for the lifetime of the member.***
Already an existing member and wondering how this will affect you? No worries. If your account is active, you’ll automatically be rolled forward into the new system at no cost.This means an end to yearly membership renewal fees for you as well.
Of course, a change like this always has a transition period, and this works out in your favour as well. From now until 22/7, all members (new and old) will receive the additional 5% membership discount on all purchases in the store. If a price tag has more than one price, this stacks on the lower price displayed.****
And, if you’ve gotten this far, you’ll have no doubt noticed the mention of PI-Day. As always, being the iconoclasts we are, we’ve always put more stock into 22/7 as the value of PI and it’s happening again this year.*****
Keep an eye out for more details as we progress through July.
– Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager
* Barring Item Specific Restrictions ** Yes, we planned this. *** Or the active duration of the membership system **** This does in fact mean your membership benefits double-stack. Of course, as we transition towards a full system roll-out, these old price tags will be phased out as well, so the faster you hunt down the bargains, the better. ***** Yes there will be PIe.
