Just received my 3ºwave packeg.
Got the hardcover book, the special chars i asked on the the manager, also got the enforcers but no forgefathers ForgeGuard........
Those were the ones I wanted more. :(
Did mantic forget to put them or will there be a 4º wave ???

Known issue. Submit a missing items form.

I had a singular Forge Fathers starter and booster, should I have received any of the plastic sprues for them and if so, how many?

A booster, not a booster bundle, correct? if so, that should be 1 hard plastic sprue of (6) Forge Guard in wave 3, and 6 40 mm bases for them, delivered in either Wave 2 or Wave 3.

No, Forge Guard get 25mm bases.

^Yep. This is true for Warpath also.

Hi,

Can anybody confirm the base sizes for
Forge Guard (25mm round - as confirmed above)
Peacekeepers
Enforcers

I want to pick up some clear bases at lunch and I want to make sure I get the right size.

Reg enforcers are 25mm, enforcer peacekeepers are 40mm.

FYI Renedra now makes clear plastic 25mm round bases.

http://www.renedra.co.uk/product.php?product=134

Only on 25mm round, no word yet on when 30/40/50/60mm rounds will be made in clear as well.

So something like $4.50 for 50 bases? 10 bases a dollar? That's a bit better than the $15 for 100 I think I remember paying to litko... But I wonder how clear they are? Are they gonna be as crystal clear as proper acrylics? Sounds like a good alternative, especially for UK/EU and so on. No dice for me though unless they're also only 1.5mm thick, if they're 'standard' gw size, too thick for my liking.

Huh it even says slightly textured underside... while potentially useful, now I really wonder how transparent those will be..

The regular bases have a texture on one side and are plain on the other so I'd say they used the same molds and ran a clear plastic through them. I have a load of regular Renedra bases in various sizes (they make good inserts for round lip bases) but I prefer laser cut acrylic for clear bases so I'd pay slightly more for them also Renedra bases are very thin no more than 2mm thick

Huh, well that's a point in their favor but yeah I think I still like clear acrylics now that I've been using them.

www.architectsofwar.com is the US distributor for Renedra. don't know if they have the clear bases in stock yet, but could fire off an email.

/shrug. I, again, can't speak for your experience. Although I'd check your junk folder and which address you are responding to. I'd also note that I have had a month or so between replies at times. They're backed up.

It's Mantic. They're never not backed up.

Snark aside, and completely seriously. They're in a constant state of About to Launch a Kickstarter/Running a Kickstarter/About to open a Pledge Manager/Opening a Pledge Manager/Closing a Pledge Manager/About to start shipping a KS/Shipping a KS/Shipping another wave of a KS/finishing up shipping on a KS/pick 2-5 of the previous that it's now their Business as Usual, and using any of those as an excuse for gakky customer service doesn't work any more. I mean, I'm not saying that a CS job anywhere, and especially Mantic is an easy gig, or that I'd especially want to work there - but it is what it is. If Kickstarter Campaigns are a core pillar of their business model for the time being, that's fine, but "we're busy with a Kickstarter" can't be an excuse for slow or poor customer service or inept packing for their Kickstarter rewards.

On a brighter note, DBX wave 2 should be all out the door this time next week. Except all the missing parts, of course, which they will get around to after wave 5 or so.

It's also interesting to note that none of the minis shipping right now have rules in DBX, the game they were supposedly made for. They currently only have rules in DBO.

I agree with Azazelx entirely. Ronnie is aware of their poor CS and I'm hoping his blog wasn't just lipservice and they actually, y'know, implement a real ticketing system to keep track of CS issues.

Hell, I'd write one for them if they paid me in credit.

As an aside, I received my missing Mars Attacks stuff (they had sent two of one of the AW resin sets in my initial shipment and I had ordered one of each) and there was a freebie Dreadball baggie with a fig included!

I hope I get my missing Mars Attacks terrain soon someday.

Me too. Me too.

I still haven't received any kind of reply to any of my missing item forms or the last couple of emails, unless you count the out of office autoreply.

I have never received any reply, only the missing items in the mail several months later.

Don't really need a reply, either, would rather they spent time packing and sending the bits rather than responding to emails.

They have a new guy hired just to deal with picking and packing missing parts now so things should be moving more quickly.

And yep, Renedra now have the clear bases! Going to be using those for 100% of my DZ/ Warpath minis from now on.

Final missing items came in. I ended up getting 24 sprues of fortified to replace my mismolded four battlezones (12 bad sprues?).

I finally received a reply. So I guess Mintic's CS is 100% fine now, even for entitled babies like me who actually do want responses to our inquiries.







Hopefully Alpharius will hold up his end of the bargain and disable the bomb-collar.

That may be a bit over dramatic.

Then you get the power. Then you get the minis.



But mostly I find being the squeaky wheel a moral imperative. And I'm a boisterous loudmouth, to be fair.

Hey guys, what arm should I use for the Enforcer Defender's shield? It looks like I'll have to cut off a section of it, but am hoping to get a look of holding it in semi-close to the body

Pics of the wave 2 DBX MVPs:

I think any of the left arms with no hand are meant to work with it, but I've got mine stored as I'm doing FF next so I can't say for sure.

So the Ada-Lorena and Crystalan MVPs aren't clear plastic?

Did they scrap that idea?

I believe the Ada Lorena and Cystallans are to share a mold for production so they can be cast in a coloured clear plastic they are wave 3 so haven't been tooled/finished yet. It appears that as the MVPs have been finished before the teams so they put them in a mold with the other MVPs and cast the lot in grey plastic which is a pity as they should of held those two back for wave 3
