Another Salute 2015 Imperial sneak peek, this time its the Wolfbane Commandos.

The Imperial stuff really has been tough to resist. The line is full of character and really lends itself to some fun color schemes.

How to they scale to gw ig? If good I buy a ton for a themed army I'm working on.

**His Master's Voice**

Depends on what you want to buy. Prodos launched with "true proportions" 28mm and switched to "heroic" 28mm along the way, so the scale still isn't consistent.

They're fixing it though. I think both Mishima and Capitol have proper scaling across the range, as does Imperial with the exception of one KS era model.

I looked at getting some imperials for this and their massive compared to GW imperial guard.

Their now listed as 32 mm scale but by my guess the blood berrets and trooper I looked at were about 36mm tall.

High Chieftain Morten Oakenfist, former Warhound and leader of the Wolfbanes is smashing his way to Salute 2015

Now as to the comments on Scale, there have been issues, but they are being fixed and are becoming consistent now. The minis will be taller that GW and will have less heroic perportions.

Damn that's makes me a sad panda I really hoped that they would scale they would be prefect counterbalance to my jungle girls from TGGS back to the drawing board.

The best way to be sure is to order a pack and check the scale physically! I have heard that our models scale pretty well with TGG minis.

**Siygess**

I only have my TGG freebies so far but I am happy to take some pics alongside my existing Warzone minis. They fit well alongside Bauhaus and I will probably be mounting the upper half of the Iron Empires tank commander on a Venusian Marshall's legs / horse. Too bad it won't be tournament legal though!

**inqscott**

Please post some pics that would be great

**Silent Puffin?**

The beta version of the Imperial book has been released. It has a lot less Wolfbane than I was hoping for unfortunately and some of the writing is less than great but its nice to see that Prodos haven't forgotten about Warzone.

There are also some new Imperial models released.

**BrookM**

All we need now is a Herk Mondo mini.

Those Power Loaders they showed at Salute, will those be seeing a plastic release, or were those just for display?

Neither. They will be a resin release in the future, like the rest of the expansion material.

As far as I understand, only the figures in the base box game will be made into plastic. The rest, including that power loader, will only be available in resin.

Prodos Games Ltd says:
Morning all, here are a few answers to frequently asked questions from yesterday:
1. The Board game is in production as we speak, we should have 1st copies by Monday 25th, to go to FOX as a product reference. We have been assured that at that stage there is no "delay" or need for any approval, however the product must be examined and stored as a master copy. Any further changes to the product (if needed) will be done as a running change. For clarification : A running change is an alteration made to a toy in the middle of its production run, that can result in two distinct (in some way, often quite minor) toys, which are considered the "same toy" by the manufacturer, carrying the same wave identifier and (usually) the same internal product code.
2. The official, and confirmed release date of the board game is the 30th June (retail) AND 22th of June for KS backers. The KS release is subject to change (an EARLIER date may be possible if we can make point 3 below happen) and is only dependent on external company manufacturing capabilities. As always we will keep you updated. Most KS backers, depending on their location and/or delays with customs, should have their game before it hits and shop shelves.
3. We are trying to arrange with manufacturing and logistics if at all possible to have at least 50 copies for UK Games Expo, if this happens, collection will be available for those backers who would like to pick up their copy at the UK Games Expo, more info to follow.
4. Under the terms and conditions of the contract we are obligated to release the KS V1 boardgame (High quality resin miniatures) to retail. The plastic injection models are in the approval pipeline and we are aiming to have it approved in 4 to 6 months. (For clarification: resin to plastic changeover cannot be classified as a running change due to usage of different material for manufacturing and quality "degradation" of the product).
5. Add-ons: The Models are approved, and we are going to start working on Monday to get the packaging and cards green-lit as well. We have been assured that it won't be long process as the RULES (written material) for add-on models were approved with Main rulebook.
6. Customs: the Invoice for customs will reflect the "manufacturing" cost, as promised during the KS and not the retail cost. This may affect non-EU and non-USA backers.
7. USA backers: The very first copies of the game will be shipped to our USA dispatch centre, to reduce any delivery downtime, however, I won't be hiding the fact that your collogues in Europe may get the game few days or weeks before your copy reach your doorsteps. I can promises that we will do the best we can to reduce the downtime.
8. Also, for clarification: we have number of shops participating in the KS as well (a shop customers collective pledge), thus, in some cases you may see the product on the shelves before it reaches you. Please keep it calm, as we have promised the priority are backers.
9. Pledge manager changes and address update. By Friday we'll have an update for you with instruction how to do changes in the PM, postal address update and locking the PM. PLEASE make sure that you have done final alternations to your pledge, including the updated postal address by 31st of May. IT will affect the shipping date if the pledge manager is not locked. Please do not send emails to request that we update your postal address as we don't have capacity and capability to do it manually. All information will be available in a forthcoming update.

Bugger - longer than I was hoping for.

**Nostromodamus**

At this point, waiting another month isn't a big deal for me. Hopefully the date sticks!

The UK Games EXPO is in 2 weeks so if Prodos are hoping to have 50 copies retail ready by then there shouldn't be much more of a wait.

**CptJake**

Anyone wanna make bets on when the KS backers get everything they've paid for?

Getting the board game is a great start, don't get me wrong. But I know there are backers who spent a LOT of $$$ on stuff other than the board game. And there seemed a distinct lack of mention of the wargame rules, and since rule approval was a long pole in the first tent, I wonder how that will work out.

**Nostromodamus**

I look forward to fielding the 30 Alien Warriors I ordered, but the board game will tide me over

**Sidstyler**

Ooh, the models in the original release are going to be resin after all? I'd like to get myself a copy of that one.

At least for a little while, until the plastics are up and running. Get them while you can!

**Sidstyler**

Hopefully I won't have to buy it direct from Prodos, but I think they still don't have US distribution yet.

**Pacific**

I don't know how many of the additional resin KS packs are going to be available?

Bear in mind the plastics eventually are being done by the Plastic Soldier Company, who have done some absolutely tremendous work with 15mm and 20mm WW2 releases. The early pics of the Predator sprues they released looked very good, I don't think there is going to be that much detail lost over their resin equivalents.
