Like so?

Grimdork's pics match how I assembled my sprues.

Oooh I think I may like pretre's better. At least you can get them more than one way, cool. I'll have to do the moving instead of running poses for them next time.

I managed to pull off some weird poses with mine (the pic I posted is just from GIS), including some legs way out to the side kinda things (crouching with leg stabilizing). They are definitely cool.

Seems like one could potentially take the two walking/running leg sets and mix them to get another standing set and then one thats... sitting? Falling, jetpacking? I'll have to play around with the poses some more on the next team.

May be possible, just have to check the joins.

I have 30 of the suckers and haven't even clipped one off the sprue yet... having too much fun playing MA and DBX.

squatting.

I did it, and he is squatting.

Squatting huh?

I'll have to try it for sure now.

At least the standing pair of legs look good.

They're running. One is running with the right leg back, the other is running with the left leg back. Lemme get a picture of what I did with mine...





At least, that's what I could come up with!

Those look like nice poses. Thanks for posting guys. I may need to get some of those guys.

This just makes me want to get them more. I wonder if I could actually model an enforcer doing squats? That would be awesome.

Almost all of the pistol and blade arms are bent at the elbow, so probably.

I am Enforcer Unit 6
and I am enforcer Unit 7

And we are going to PUMP
slap slap
YOU UP!

Peacekeeper arms and torso on enforcer legs?

Is the Martian Deadzone deck worth getting? I got the human one (but haven't gotten around to opening it).

Do you want to use your martians in Deadzone?

Both of those decks are waaaay more fleshed out than any of the 6 deadzone factions for sheer number of units available. I can't speak as to whether or not they're all good or how they stack up compared to the other decks though. Human deck has more units too I think, but both decks have a lot.

Would the human deck have enough options that I could proxy some IG and use their rules in DZ? Or would Rebs be better suited to DZ proxying?

Human deck has a ridiculous amount of options.

Martian deck has over 20 unit cards. Enforcer deck I think is closer to.. 12? Human deck has just over 30...

Gotta remember 9 of those are heroes of greenville which may or may not work for other stuff but..

5 profiles for army dudes, cheap grunts on par with reb troops likely. Trooper, grenade launcher guy, missile dude, hmg dude, sarge. All pretty good for guardsmen I'd think.

The novas vira militia is only 3 points though they're pretty lame. Might be a good way to implement conscripts.
Two more NV heavy weapons, one's frag and one is high ap, same stats as the soldiers though so easy cover for a heavy weapon trooper or team(one has CSW and 2 models).

Can take the army trucks for 10 points, might maybe convince people to let you use a chimera though the truck is more inline with one of those little dune buggy things forgeworld makes.. y'know not a taurox but a T...hing...?

Falco and Natalya would make good covers for assassins, Falco has vindicare written all over him. Or I guess any other super duper crackshot sniper really.

The Tiger Corps as well as Corus and the bounty hunters would all be great to represent carapace or light powered armor. Or heavy powered armor, they've got 2 armor so they're as buff as enforcers and most of them have high AP guns. Bounty hunter would probably serve well as a stormtrooper/scion/whatever.

The various heroes of greenville could probably work pretty well to cover any misc guardsman/leader/possibly commissar if need be as well.



As for the martian deck... I could see a lot of different approaches. You could have an entire force with scout via stealth martians (2-1 commaner, sniper, and a trooper)... Bug-based melee monster mash (don't forget wrex!), got stats for the saucer and big stompy too! Just.. I dunno lots of types of models. 3 stealth martian options, several for martian grunts, martian marines, and science division, and a bunch of characters to choose from.

Okay, that sounds fun. I've been on the fence regarding the Mantic winter sale, so the deck will push me over the free shipping limit.

Sounds like they'll be the way to go! And the T thing is a Tauros Assault Vehicle, lovely things, I have 2 little ones and 2 of the Venators. Are the rules available free from Mantic, or is it only as a Mars Attacks purchase/other purchase from Mantic?

Thanks for the run down by the way! Much appreciated

Got my Dreadball Xtreme Wave 2 yesterday, and in case it hasn't been confirmed, the contents (assuming you were eligible for them depending on pledge level/add-ons) are:

- Any remaining DBO stuff due to you (although they managed to forget it entirely in my case...)
- The metal cheerleaders & fans if you bought them. There are now 4 fans rather than the promised 3.
- A roster pad.
- Any additional base box scenery (crates, strike posts) if you bought them.
- A bag containing the non-expansion Rampage MVPs, Ardia Sponsor, rush tracker cheerleader & extra bag of free agents (including doubles of Blaine and the Warden. Yes, including the MVPs for races they haven't delivered yet. The Tsudochan is extremely dinky.
- Bags for any season 4 teams you are due from the following:
i) Hobgoblins
ii) Sphyr
iii) Rebs
iv) Brokkrs
10 models to a bag (8 team members & 2 prones), you get 1 bag for a normal team, 2 for a 'maximised' team. There are always 2 of each pose to a bag. Exception are Hobgoblins, with 9 to a bag (1 troll). I had an error in one bag (a Sphyr where there should have been a Rebs frogman), so check these!
- Clear hex bases for all of the above. Might have to count that carefully - I was being sent individual bases mixed in loose.
- A hard copy of the DBO season 4 rulebook.

Not exactly the CMON level where you get everything in retail packaging and know that it will be 100% accurate, but a big improvement over the Deadzone stuff.

I just got a Mantic missing bits generic email moments ago. It was sent to approximately seven billion email addresses, and I just received what I can only presume to be the first of 1 billion "Cheers mate" responses. FML

I'm now at three replies.

Hah! Just got a very polite email from Dave at Mantic explaining that my query would be dealt with over the next couple of weeks, which cc'ed...everyone who had submitted a query, email addresses and all.

Privacy aside, this means that at least 497 people have outstanding queries - I assume that this is store/Kickstarter independent though, so probably not very useful to calculate a % incidence.

Haha, looks like we're in the same boat, mate! This is quite considerably frustrating, and seems like a very rookie mistake to make.

I got that too...at least our bank details were not included. Totally schoolboy and shoddy error to make.

I'm gonna 'reply to all' multiple times throughout the weekend, often attaching large files, just for giggles.

Oh jam. Hadn't even thought of that. Sitting, for Antenociti's Workshop vehicles or 1/48 ultramodern kits (like JGSDF armor)
YAY!

That's what I was thinking it may be used for.

AK: which rules? Most mantic rules go up for free eventually but the card decks I was talking about are probably always gonna cost money. PDFs exist of most/all of the card decks but I dunno if those will end up hitting the free rules page at some point or not.

DBX wave 2 arrived all present and correct the casts are very nice possibly the best Mantic have done yet only Brute Force looks a little skinny from shrinkage but her mech sort of compensates for that. I ended up with 2 Graks I bought 1 as he was added to Fenzy level only (backed Rampage) but there is 1 in with the MVPs pack so it looks like every one gets one now. The other is DZ conversion fodder I guess .

I think some will be disappointed with the size of the Tsudochan - they are zee sized - they didn't look that small in the renders. On the other hand Kryphos has me rethinking not getting the Koris.

On a similar note, the double pistol enforcer needs a stat card.
