Fair enough... we've had that conversation earlier here, as I recall, so yes... most boxes, barring the Core and they said MAYBE Heavy-Support Helixes will always be One box = On FULL option Helix. :-)

Yea they said starter sets will contain more than the minimum helix needs.

2 sets is one full helix with allies. (I think)

Posted today on ye olde facebook. Ba'kash Ariel Helix.

Without infantry to scale, they seem hug haha.

Very nice looking though. More targets for the Kurak Alliance...

With every sneak peek I become more and more anxious for the release, but at least the wait is giving me time to paint up my Dindrenzi fleet.

My friend just painted his Dindrenzi this weekend. For a weekends work they look really good.

But we arent sure when they are being released which sucks. Your group have plans for galactic conquest campaigns yet?

Sort of. My group for firestorm is currently one other person, a Terran player. We've been playing as if the Dindrenzi have been pushing into Terran space so its about time we had some planetary conquest action. I know of at least 4 other people with small fleets that stopped playing right before 2nd edition. This area is nothing but warmachine and x-wing these days. It's a shame they are going to miss out.

Although, my opponent and I have been toying with the idea of Vanguarding. That might rekindle things.

Anyone know if the limited edition is exclusive to Spartan Games' website? The local retailer has the starter up for pre-order, but it's listing the regular edition.

Whilst I can't say for certain, retailers did get the limited edition of the Dystopian Legions starter set (with Schneider, and the Dubois Sisters prints) so I'd expect them to get this limited edition too.

Okay, thanks. Gonna shoot the store an email. I'd much rather order from a Swedish store, given how worthless our currency is right now

All boxed sets sold within the first month should have the free shuttle wreckage and prints, regardless of where you purchase the box from. This has been confirmed by Spartan Games.

Yeah, I was under that impression. What made me ask was the fact that other retailers have a copy-paste description of the product from the SG website, and the store in question has a different one. They probably just went for the vanilla description so that they don't have to change it later.

Thanks for the confirmation

I can't confirm personally as I didn't preorder, but it sounds like anything ordered directly from Spartan will be delayed due to overwhelming demand. A gentleman who is part of a local gaming group of mine forwarded the email to us.

It sounds like they will definitely be missing the Oct 22 release date.

EDIT: There also appears to have been an issue with the printer material. Estimated shipping date is the 29th.

Hello,

Thank you for choosing the pre-order Planetfall launch products with the Spartan Games Online Store. Due to overwhelming demand and an unexpected delay with a printed material, we will not be able to ship these orders from October 22nd as originally intended. We will be working hard to ensure these products are delivered as quickly as possible, and anticipate that mail orders will begin shipping around a week after the aforementioned date.

If you have any questions regarding your order please e-mail dispatch@spartangames.co.uk. We apologise for any inconvenience this delay may cause and thank you for your patience in the meantime. We will keep you updated with further developments.

Regards,

Ricky
Spartan Games








Grrrr

Good for spartan though on the high demand.

Yea if this is the kind of demand they have with only 2 major factions then imagine the potential demands when all the factions are released.

They've confirmed on the forum that the delay applies both to mail orders directly from them, and to their distribution channels.

8 days to go. Would be one day but... oh well.

Mere days away...

Nice. Release date for the other cores. Only two additional helixes, but you can't have everything.

One item worth noting - the Hawker Allied Aerial Helix claims to only contain three heavy ground attack fliers, but the picture has four.

That makes a total of 6 major core helix, 4 allied helix and terrain in each box.

So its enough to play but with some limited options unless you ally cores together.

December 10th!? fuuuuuuuuuu- Oh well, the minis look fantastic. I'm really curious to see what every faction's specialist unit does.

Also Its really cool that they brought back the battlestations for FSA. I was kicking myself for not picking one up at the 2nd edition launch.

And with that Spartan has posted information on all of the helices in a machine gun style blog posting.

An update from Spartan Games - the picture for the Hawker Aerial Helix is correct, and the text description is incorrect. The helix contains four heavy ground attack fliers, and not three.

Over on the official forums, one of the posters has apparently already gotten his hands on his copy of the game. No description yet, but he did say he liked what he saw.

The first unboxing video of the basic starter.

Hi guys. I've posted an unboxing of the starter set, Battle for Proteus Prime, on my YouTube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0GXRjs76lc

It's a long video (27 minutes), but it covers everything that's in the box. There's a lot in there!
