That last guy looks like he's been impaled, bigtime!

And great spot there, Kyoto!

How could you even model that? Do they have an androgynous third sex like the humans in Knights of Sidonia? Looks like impaled guy might have three weapons or they have an arrow bundle. The Interceptor looks really cool and has an XCOM vibe. That paint job looks very basic or unfinished though. A little bit of weathering on the bigger enforcer models would be cool.

The male has his bow and quiver on his back and a staff weapon in his left hand, the female has her bow in her right hand and staff weapon in her left.

Are the Dreadball Extreme expansion and Giants supposed to be shipped in this wave or are they coming later?

Those are part of the Rampage and up pledges if the picture is anything to go by.

I only backed the lower package (Frenzy?), I got the expansion and giants in my deliver.

This is the last wave, you're supposed to get everything you pledged for.

So far, I think everyone who got the KoW/DBX combo shipment reported major mispack issues.

Somehow I had no issues, which was a major shock because a) all three big Mantic KSers before gave me major issues and b) everyone else is clearly having them.

I feel bad for everyone else though due to my previous experience.

The facebook post the image is from states the paint job is a work in progress

I don't think I have anything missing. I don't really remember what I ordered that's supposed to be on this wave, but I know any missing single minis (if any) are out-valued by the free teams. Does seem like a step back in QC from previous efforts though.

Also, did we already rant and rave about the effectively useless Crystallan and Ada Lorana MVPs? Make the grunts out of blue translucent and those guys on the same tool as regular grey plastic models? Useless if you're gonna leave the blue showing anywhere.

Yeah, that was a very Mantic move.

Oi. Kind of sad for it but oh well. I don't think I intended to wind up with either team, though I'm kind of happy with both now, blue shinies!

Well, it's Saturday and still no packages. What's the email we need to contact about not receiving our stuff?

I still haven't gotten mine either. There had been a mixup in communication with Rich via email about canceling add-ons (my intention) being turned into canceling pledge (the mixup), then getting it reinstated. So I'll give it a couple more days, then call and check to make sure it's all still fixed correctly.

Painted Enforcer Jetbike

I ordered a bunch, but now I wish I had ordered twice as many.

I'm sure they'll give us the chance to do so in the Warpath KS

I only ordered four, it's a much more realistic number for me to get painted, and I'm pleased that they seem to look good with paint on them. Bring on Warpath, Grimmy needs a new dropship!

Warpath kickstarter apparently hits on the 21st this month.

Duuu'uuun!

Just saw that on their feed.

Bit out of the blue!

I needed more notice, best I can do is probably a books only pledge ATM.

Depending on what way they go with the rules I may give this a miss.

Yeah... i'm a huge fan of Mantic's rules in general, but the whole "squads as based elements" doesn't excite me too much.

I can afford a dollar.

If that doesn't grant access to the pledge manager anymore, hey, Gates of Antares has some new plastics!


All in all, I wish Mantic had waited until they delivered the new Deadzone plastics before going for another sci-fi plastics campaign.

The 21st? Really? That seems soon.

I would've liked my DZ stuff as well, but it kind of makes sense since they're getting the FF stuff tooled, might as well let everyone in at the ground floor.

At least we should hopefully see those test sprues for the Infestation stuff before Warpath starts.

Yeah, I'd rather that they waited as well. Infinity and Battle Systems both start around that same time. Lools like I'm going to be lowballing the Mantic one. Eh, I'm kind of unhappy with them right now anyway, so I don't mind not giving them a lot of money.

And Gates of Antares is selling their starter on the 25th.

Didn't get enough HIPS enforcer stuff this last go round. Time for 8 drop ships.

At this point there's no way I won't at least get the "sweet spot" plege; every Mantic KS has always been worth it at that level.

Yep. Dammit. I almost had some money left over.

Interesting. I'll be watching this, but mostly for the rules I think. I'm not a big fan of Mantic's universe, and would probably rather kitbash minis. But I do like the idea of a squad based game.
