That dog drone is a huge improvement.

Agreed. The original looked like they glued together bits from a battlezone accessory sprue and a heavy weapon from an enforcer.

Question: I've heard several people discussing that Mantic will be shipping the non-KS introduced items separately from the things new to this KS. For example if I ordered an Enforcers starter set & the Deadzone & Contagion set as well as the KS pledge level that those will ship first & then in Jan the rest will ship. Is there any truth to this? Because I know several people on the fence about Deadzone so if I could get them into the game for much cheaper (say for example if multiple people want different starters it makes them about $16.50/ea, that's such a tiny investment for a game it's hilarious) but if they're waiting til Jan I fear that they'll catch the GW tagline of "it won't last, we're the only constant in tabletop" & panic (as so many gamers do these days).

Only those existing components not part of a pledge level will be shipped ASAP; those included in pledge levels ship with the rest of the pledge level package.

Does anyone know if we can upgrade our pledge in the manager? I was in for just scenery, but got some extra cash now and was thinking to go up...

In the past, you have been able to upgrade your pledge significantly. I'm not sure if they will let you do another pledge level, but you'll definitely be able to get a la carte items.

Absolutely you can.

Mantic confirmed you can go with the higher pledge levels.

Saw this show up on Facebook from Brueckenkopf Online.



With a taste of things to come?



The original link, for those who read German. Some shots of Abyssals, Dreadball MVPs, and Dungeon Saga stuff there as well.

Jetbike appears to be doing what the concept render said it would, so those should turn out fine.

Is that second thing a drop ship? Oh lord. TIme to start hawking other minis and lining up a buyer for an organ or two...

It most certainly looks like a dropship.

Hard plastic dropships that aren't covered in Aquila and skulls are probably going to be a VERY popular item when Mantic get around to producing this.

I can see a lot appearing on Infinity boards for a start.

If it's a plausible enough design I can see it ending up in just about every near future/ hard scifi game out there.

Hell, I'd get one and I'm not even really interested in humans for the most part, but it sure would be a swell toy to have to play with.

I was thinking it'd go great with my MERCS stuff too. Or my Dreamforge guys. Or my Enforcers if I ever paint some...

Ooooooh. Count me in as excited for that, especially since the teaser's undercarriage looks to not be a single piece. It might be a relic of the 3D printing process, but if the troop seating area isn't a mandatory inbuilt feature, I could see something like that carrying guns or a payload underneath it. It also looks like it might be slightly "chunky," which is awesome because I prefer that look when not taken to extremes.

Warpath Alpha rules will be available to BoW backstage members on May 22nd no word on general release yet.

Five minutes later over on 4chan? That'd be my guess.

Warpath alpha rules are such a rockstar that I need a backstage pass to see them? Hmm.

Herp.


Derp.

Supporting news sites is all well and good... but this is just at the detriment of everyone else... :/

We've been waiting this long. I can wait an extra few weeks,

Frankly, I quit waiting awhile back. I thought deadzone was going to be warpath, backed anyway. At this point I'm not sure if I even have any enthusiasm left for the eventual warpath release, its been strung out too far. I'm sure it'll be all well and good but ehh. Meh. This kind of thing certainly doesn't enhance my enthusiasm.

Kind of waiting for the 18th reveal-fest or whatever they call it to be a no show like half of their other [mantic game] week, where they forget it for 2-3 days and then say nothing new.

I do wonder why rules go to BoW and photos of new stuff come off BK-online while KS backers get feth-all in terms of meaningful updates...

It was mentioned somewhere last week that someone else (called Rich, I believe) had been hired to help Dave Symonds with custoemr support. I don't suppose anyone has this person's email address, do they?

rich.armstrong@manticgames.com

Awesome, cheers mate!

Thanks. I'm gonna give him a shout as well since I had account issues and they're not reopening the DS pledge. Tried Stew already, but I'm not even sure if he's still there.

When do we get the pledge manager for Deadzone: Infestation, by the way?

Stewart's email seems to be redirected to Dave Symonds. Is Mantic facing a lot of staff turn-over?

I still haven't heard whether or not they will reopen the KoW2 PM. If Rich Armstrong gives you an answer, please share it with us.

Stew is still there.

I emailed Rich, got a repy in the same business day. Great turnaround.

What did he say about the pledge manager reopening?

Dunno, I didn't ask. I needed to follow up on an order.

They said they'd be doing that earlier. If they do, I'll get myself a hardcover rulebook, etc and probably some not-Daemonettes. If not, I'll just use the PDFs and stick with my existing models.

That's pretty much where I'm at.

If I can't buy the models through the PM, I won't be buying them at all.

Well, maybe through Miniature Market's clearance machine.

EDIT: I don't know about the reule books, though. I've read and re-read the KoW 1st Edition rules a lot recently while working on my armies based on the lists you wrote based on the 1st Edition book. I feel committed.
