Totally understand. Still the game is written (you have downloaded and started playing right).

We all want our shiny official Fallout toys, and it may still be May, but I don't want to make any promises that upset you, or get me lynched (either by you, or Chris!)

Can I fallback on the Nintendo defence?


"Nintendo ate my homework"? Sorry, don't know that one.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you or anything. I understand that things don't always work flawlessly and even if they do, coordination between everyone involved takes time. I appreciate that you are honest about the (possible) release date and agree, it's way better than putting down a date that you then can't keep.

I got some enjoyment out of reading the rules. They're good. Pretty happy you released them ahead of time. Sadly real life prevented me from playing any test games yet. Kind of getting in the (seriously unhelpful) position where I think waiting for release will be better and easier than dealing with dice conversion tables.

I just get all sorts of ideas what to do with my shinies the closer we get to release date. Upcoming releases always have been my most productive hobby times. Heh. After the February release didn't pan out I started to sculpt my Sole Survivor to keep me busy.. She'll be finished soon, so the May release would just be perfect timing for me. If there's another delay... I don't know. I may just have to go sculpt a lewd version of Piper, and it'll be your fault.

Now, I can't say we will hit the lofty heights of Miyamota, but its a good line none the less.

I think the hardest part is, other the ongoing development of battlemode, and then the rules writing of wave 2-5... not to mention the continued sculpting, there isn't much we can do internally to speed things up. Once we own our own manufacturing, that will be a different kettle of fish.


...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...

Ok hi,

Why did not I know this was a thing so far?

Is there some sort of one button click thing where I can buy ALL THE THINGS already?

This is 40 pages of info, I cannot read through all of them at the moment. Any links to condensed information about this?

It's not like I have played 1500+ hours among all Fallout games and I need this NOW or anything like that. Just curious.


You can button click an all in for around a $1000 USD for the stuff that will be released if you got the money to blow. Had their been a kickstarter i may have gone all in but that is too much for me. I pre ordered the starter and started making some terrain.

My plan is a set a month after the initial stuff arrived slowly building up npc stuff that way it'll get painted in a reasonable time instead of having a mountain of stuff waiting.

Looking forward to painting death claws and robots!

Something similar crossed my mind. Not that it stopped me from going all in, but now it'll be interesting to see whether getting my stuff gives me the motivation to get a lot painted initially or if I'm going to sit paralyzed on a mountain of resin.

When impatient for a game release, I also remind myself of Hofstadter's Law.

Hofstadter's Law: "It [any given complex task] always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law."

It's very popular (or unpopular?) in programming circles and other types of development.

Surprised the Zetan is only PVC.

Since that figure will be the pre-order bonus for wave 2 I wonder if it will get the resin treatment then?

Yeah. I just assumed it was resin because everything else is. Not that I could have verified one way or another because my local store was undecided about carrying Wasteland Warfare last I checked.

Maybe instead of a resin Zetan for wave 2, perhaps there's a lower order value threshold to get it? I seem to remember Modiphius wanted to start with a bang and make wave 1 fairly large to get a good selection out from the start, with following waves being smaller to some degree. Would make sense to have a lower threshold then.

Not bothered, though. I'm not a fan of PVC and until I hold Modiphius's variety in my hands and can form a firsthand opinion, I simply have no opinion on it. If it turns out that it's not that great, it's just a Zetan and not someone important like Nuka-Girl.

Zetan is the game store exclusive for wave 1 so I thought they would have made it in resin already if they planned to.

I am asking on Facebook for clarification but so far it seems the Zetan is staying PVC even as the Wave 2 pre-order bonus.

John Gordon Chris Birch will that flip when Zeta is the 2nd wave pre-order bonus? I.e. Nuka Girl then becomes PVC for and Zeta resin?

John Gordon Chris Birch Ah ok. So the Zetan will never be available in resin? Bummer.



*edit with update from Chris Birch*


So maybe a resin Zetan is coming!

Chris Birch John Gordon everything else is so it’s likely we’ll do one in resin maybe in wave 2

Just coming back to this. Was wondering if the May release date is still a go? Group preordered everything when it first went up and was wondering when it might be shipping out

All I know is that Wayland has updated saying it's not being delivered to me until end of June

As of Thursday, Modiphius is still speaking to the Chinese factory about shipping dates. So for now there's no date set yet.

I have a feeling Wayland's guess (and that's all it is) is somewhat more likely than shipping by the end of May. I think China is more than two weeks away by ship, so May seems ever more unlikely.

Typically games seem to take about a month to hit Europe from various KS projects where they've told us about individual ships so backers can track them,

but there's always the more expensive air option too

Unless they change their mind, I'm pretty sure Chris Birch also confirmed shipping by ship.

Well when ffg has stuff "on the boat" you are looking at six weeks or more of there is a dock strike.

Speak of the devil, Mofphidius put up a blog post with shipping info:

https://www.modiphius.com/development-blog.html


Highlights:

"The shipment will leave early next week and takes about 6 weeks to the UK, this means the stock should be with our warehouse at the end of June. It will then take around a week to get the stock unpacked and prepare the worldwide shipments. We'll give you an update as this gets closer.

For those waiting on pre-orders in stores, a ship will be taking a massive three container loads to our US distributors direct from China containing the PVC starter sets, dice sets and Red Rocket Scenic sets. As all the faction core sets and expansion sets are being made in the UK in resin they also have to go on a separate ship to the US, we'll be aiming to get that out to reach the US around the same time. "

And now for the wait for wave 2. I need this in my life:

A one-month delay is not bad at all. Let's just hope starters are arriving in June.

To my knowledge there are no plans for resin terrain larger than the pieces of scatter terrain we've seen so far. Originally it was said that terrain like Red Rocket was meant to be beginner friendly (card being cheaper than resin or plastic, doesn't require painting, is easy to assemble) and I haven't read anything to suggest that Modiphius's stance has changed,

I don't think we'll see complete resin terrain kits of that size at least for the foreseeable future.

If they don't make an official one some third party guys will come out with something close.

Not sure I'd agree. I think TTCombat made some Fallout themed MDF, but they already have post-apocalyptic stuff in their range and know there's a market for their products.

For most, though, I could see Wasteland Warfare being a bit of an unknown quantity for now. Will it catch on? Will competitive mode be played in stores everywhere or is there only a niche interest in narrative mode?

Plus with Red Rocket being one of the most propagated parts of Fallout 4, making that specific thing might be too risky for 3rd party companies to invest money in if they just get a C&D.

From the development blog:

A set of military barricades is expected of any defensive position and the new turrets are going to come in useful - especially the manned gatling gun.


"Any" sounds good to me. My guess is it'll depend on how you intend to play. I could see these being restricted in competitive mode (possibly because of a restriction of point defense, but also because of heavy weapon upgrades - who knows?). In narrative mode there's no guiding rules except your sense of morality, which should be switched off immediately at the sight of this baby.

Thanks, I haven't been following the blog much.
