In the end all I went in for was terrain, I figure Mantic will do a good deal on the game anyway but the cheap scatter terrain and parts are going to happen again. Gonna have to get one of those med-bots though, they turned out nice and wheres the Martian zombie from?

I went in with the intention of upgrading to the $115 level, but I was too late. No one's fault but my own, but I find I am not especially upset.
I am interested in the 2nd edition rules down the road, but hopefully they'll come out in softcover.

Well they got my $1, hopefully they will use it wisely. Still waiting on KOW2 and Dungeon Saga, and all my extra cash has already been spent on MODcubes, Conan, Blood Rage and Zombicide:Black Plague. Nothing really hit me with "must have" syndrome and I've got sooooo much that I need to not worry about "great deals" so much as get what I like..

I did get a Forgefather army but that's more because I've seen the existing plastics and know what I'm getting.

I'm just not sold on the enforcer style. I'd rather spend the money on more zombies (planning crazy Zombicide:Black Plague pledge manager  ) I never got into Zombicide before and in the past 2-3 weeks have picked up the main box, angry neighbors, toxic City mall, and a walk of the dead (actually all that in reverse order). I have been on a painting spree, which I've been uninspired for months, doing at least 5 minis a day has gotten the rotten juices flowing.
I bought the deadzone set post kickstarter and was disappointed in the models. I have also bought a couple sets of the terrain, but then got bored with scratch building and my only gaming opponent and I have been playing KOW, bloodbowl and Mordheim with me showing him Necromunda as well. He's not too keen on scifi. So I see the $1 I put down as a place holder as a minor loss. Mantic hasn't done anything to wrong me, they just didn't do anything to entice me more.
If I had the will to build another 40K-like army I'd be all over the forgefathers, but I have a few hundred marines gagging dust as it is.

I happen to be one of the few who likes the current Forgefather half-fantasy plastics, but Instill went in for a bunch of the new ones. The new Forge Guard have their issues, but their design is more than enough to make up for them to me.

Yeah me too. I did a quick comparison between the Hybrid and the Brokkrs and they look pretty close scale wise. Very slightly taller (1-3mm maybe).
I spent less because a starter on the KS in USD is 2 dollars away from retail cost in CAD.

After a lot of people (apparently) complained to Ronnie at GenCon, the DZI pledge manager has been reopened for loiterers and lackwits to get their pledge done.
You will have from 18:00 BST 05-Aug-2015 until Midnight BST 09-Aug-2015 to get your pledge in if you missed out.

I went in for I think 60 of the FF's. I hate the current sprues and would love to have an army of the crazy little buggers for 40k. 60 gets me a minimum size battle company plus a few extra dudes.

Im thinking they'd be perfect in the Imperialis Militia list as Grenadiers with "Survivors of the Dark Age" (3+ saves) and "Abhuman Helots" (+1T). Hailstorm Cannon as Rapiers, Iron Ancestor as Ogryn maybe and the old/current plastics as Militia.

With the galaxy as large as it is the odds of the average guardsmen seeing and fighting a marine or MEQ are relatively slim. Unfortunately the guardsmen in your (and anyone else who plays IG's) army are the REALLY, REALLY LUCKY ones that fight marines ALL the time... |

The troop transport version of the Asterian Tank - it looks like the drones hang off the the inside of the side pods.

Whelp I usually stay out of these threads for all of the arguing but that Asterian tank is sweet.
Gotta resist even looking at the pledge manager for the next 5 days... I ordered more than enough already.

You can add to it by running through it again, but I have no idea if you can cancel an order and redo if it you're, for example, trying to up your pledge level

So.. Ronnie was showing off the new Deadzone rulebook to everyone at GenCon.
While I'm not allowed to share any details about it, if anyone went there and read it, feel free to spill the beans. :p

Did he say when they were going to share it on KS? Or anything else that you are allowed to tell us? I listened to an episode of the Podcast on a road trip and those guys seemed convinced that stat cards are on the way out. Anything?

Not the most amazing dropship design. But, cheap, plastic dropships that look more advanced than the 40k Valk are fine by me!

I think it will look better as the bomber variant overall I like it but the troop transport section is a bit clunky especially at the back the boarding ramp section could have been better designed to make it look more sleek at least it looks like the troops can actually fit in and out of it

Yeah the drop ship looks fine, won't get it though since I only play Deadzone. Now that I think about, it might still be really cool as a terrain piece...
