So, I have finally opened my Mars Attacks box, and find that the Grunts that come in the starter have no helmets. Have Mantic stated any plans to ship them with a second wave, or do I need to fill out the missing parts form?
Only thing I know was that the people who picked it up (ie. Grim) had to get them later. It was supposed to be fixed after that (they were included in my delivery) so if you don't have yours you'll need to fill in a missing parts form I guess.
@JiJ how did you get your box? Retail? Backer rewards? Retail they probably should have fixed the issue and it would be a missing parts survey.
MA basically did one wave, they've just got a couple of books left to get to us.
If you got anything else, they tended to include the helmets for the main box game separately in the KS rewards shipment. Like, loose in the package separately. As in really easy to miss or lose while unpacking. It's a tiny extra thin plastic baglet (sealed) with two stacks of helmets, it's really easy to miss it. If you have any other helmets use them as a reference.
Has anyone assembled their giant stompy robot yet? I'm wondering what the back tank is for, and whether it's something I should magnetise to swap out with a specific weapon, or just glue straight on.
I believe it *technically* goes with the shrink ray, from what I've heard. But honestly it really doesn't matter, I'm probably not going to use the tank for either Big Stompy, but if I were, I would probably just glue it on. I mean it isn't as if there's a hose that goes from the shrink ray arm to the backpack.
And this is just from what I've heard, it's entirely possible it is intended as an atmosphere tank like the grunts wear.
Is the Mars Attacks: World War ruleset from the latest Mantic MA newsletter included in the KS stuff? Or is it entirely new? The book used to illustrate the article doesn't look familiar at all...
It's in the hardback compendium. It was originally called Mars Attacks Points Battles in the Pledge manager before being renamed to World War and was available for $8 but isn't included in any pledge.
Thanks! I've got the compendium, so that should be ok then. Did they release it as a PDF? And how did Grim manage to get standalone printed copies? /eyebrow
Maybe I didn't then? I thought I had 2 or 3 soft cover books... main game, humanity resists and... I thought it was world war but there's another one I'm forgetting.
Come to think of it... probably was imagining my PDF was a physical book, I only ever glanced at most of the MA books that were beyond the box set.
Yeah there was totally a PDF, that's what I was thinking of. My bad.
