The big announcement of the Veeryn Kickstarter I would assume.

Antenocitis Workshop have a section for Deadzone terrain on their website, but there is no product in it.

Mantic began with Elves...

Liking everything I seen today for DZ and DBE.

I think I have 4 sprues coming, or maybe it is 5.

It is a very cartoony look Mantic go for. I think they went over the top with the Trolls but I think these are nice sculpts.

I don't like the scheme, but the models look lush!

The more I look at these and see past the paint on them, the more the models say... I'll kill you all, I'll kill you all dead!

Some really nice stuff on show.

As much as I enjoyed scratch building when I was into model railways many years ago, give me something that just needs glue and paint!

Fantasy Scenery kickstarter? Fantasy naval game? Space naval game?

Ignore me

I got my Dreadball Extreme today. Not really looked properly, but the models look good, perhaps the detail of the faces are a little shallow but again that was a quick look.

Not a bad little haul

I got that as well.

One half of the cards are Special Moves, the other have Sabotage... I haven't read the rules so am done the wiser...

Are you talking about Schnorkel? He is so cute.

Actually looked at the rulebook and see what you are talking about now. I hope I have added them as well!

I doubt you'll be able to use each right leg with each left leg, but there will still be plenty of variation to play with. I really think these will look great when painted up in a good scheme.

I think it is disappointing, and will hurt the sales for the kit in the broader community a bit, but won't stop me from picking up the set at retail at some point.

Really? I would think the broader community wouldn't care as much as the peanut gallery on the Internet. People will see big chunky badass Sci Troopers and buy a couple of boxes.

I think it depends what country you are in. I can buy 10 Imperial guard troops cheaper from Wayland than I can buy Dreamforge.

I thought there was outside money added to the Dreamforge Kickstarter as well and even shares in the company given to Wargames Factory... Or so I was lead to believe.

I wonder if the missing arm is a "thing". I have one missing as well.

The Iron Ancestors are my favourite Mantic model by far, I really, really like them. So far I have painted 2, and I know I have at least one more in my RLP pile... perhaps 2, I cant remember!

I will say the DBX cuts very easily with knife, you do need to be careful.

This is my idea for the Convicts...



I had thought of doing the grey vest as grey and white hoops like an old fashioned Prison Uniform but my initial try looked awful. I might do it on the bigger models.

I do hope my sprues will arrive before the postie takes his holiday break.

So am I the only one who's Dreadball figures don't fit snug in those clear bases?

Seems strange.

No, it is more likely no-one replied to your post

Dave C has got it right. You either have to glue (and for the love of Odin, fill the gaps) or use something sticky to temporary keep them in place during a match.

Nothing arrived from Mantic today... I want my second Stunt Bot and other goodies so they can sit in a pile with all my other unpainted models

I got updates for 3 or 4 mantic kickstarters, I think they just wanted to say hi before the end of the year.

I got 3...I got excited when I saw the emails, then slighty less so we I read them. I hope it wasnt me who ordered 100 sprues...

I'd assume they would time it towards the end of January, start of February so people who blow all their monies in December can afford to back.
