Mantic have posted a faction break down here in an older update on Kickstarter but I've not seen this elsewhere or in the rulebook.

Any of the infantry thats in groups of 4 or groups of 2 is on a 30mm with inset divots for puddle bases.

Small single figures like the rat's self propelled gun or the astarian hoversled are on deadzone 25mms

Vehicles with bases are a 40mm made of mdf.

Asterian marionettes between 11-12 mm from foot to top of head.

Bigger asterian infantry are about 13mm.

Asterian leader is 14mm to the head but has fins sticking up to a bit above 15.

Hoversled is about 20mm tall, but it's irregular enough in shape that an accurate measurement is difficult.

Small asterian tank 43 mm front to back.

Big asterian tank 65mm front to back.

Rat infantry, less than 10mm to top of head. Their height varys a lot by pose, but 10 was the tallest.

Maligni with drills 14mm to top of head, but they have a hump sticking up above that.

Rat wheel 35mm front to back.

Self propelled gun 31 front to back.

Driller single length 44mm front to back.

Driller double length, 83mm front to back.

That's all the models I have.

taken from my post in the EWP thread:

Heights (base to top of head)

Zombies - 10mm

Ghouls - 12mm

Bloaters - 15mm

Leapers - 14/15mm (they are a bit hunched over)

Enforcers - 12mm

Peace Keepers - 13mm

Bases

Old Mantic Rounds - 25mm

New EWP bases - 30mm

Those do look great. Amazing how much more room there is for detail just by scaling up 2-3mm from conventional 10mm scale.

Which is kinda the point of 6mm and similar games. Stuff like 15mm is a nightmare to paint with the same detail as 28mm, but you need to do an awful lot more.

Thanks to everyone who posted sizes

I haven't received my KS so I am contacting an attorney and calling Interpol to have the Mantic arrested.

On a more serious note many countries have announced that they will not be shipping parcels to the USA for the time being because of the change in de minimis, including the UK where Mantic skulks about in the shadows, so hopefully my (and others) packages are already in motion even if we haven't received a notification.

I'm sure you'll learn to live with tariffs just like we all have, but it will take postal and customs services a while to figure out how to do the paperwork. Took about 6 months to iron out UK-EU shipping after Brexit.

Mantic is shipping to the US with UPS at least so those are being accepted. Some more people got notifications today… I’m glad people are getting their stuff. I suspect mine will be delayed as one of my armies is the Marauders and we’ve not seen those yet.

Ok but my post wasn't about "learning to live with it" and was just an update that some countries have temporarily, thus the "for the time being", stopped parcel shipping to the USA. It is just an update on the situation, which I guess was wrong of me to post?

Looks like some of the shipping notifications are getting scrambled, I got sent a UPS tracking email for someone else's order in the US. So, if it arrives unannounced, that might be why.

Heard back from Mantic CS today. Instructions being worked on, due imminently, they were just waiting on renders of all the units.

Wow. Not good. A few people have said it just showed up too.

I just got my notification this morning. Double checked and it is for me.

Well that’s good. I wonder how many US orders are remaining.

I’ve heard nothing about my Forge fathers including all the add on resin pieces or the Marauders which I’m sure will come later.

Update. I just checked my UPS.com account and something is on its way to me and will arrive on Tuesday.

No email from anyone at Mantic or UPS about it so I’ve no idea what is coming. 4kg package though.

4kg sounds like a lot of tiny little guys!

I've got second hand excitement for you, Matt! Fingers crossed

It does. I haven’t seen anyone unboxing any of the resin addons yet so I’m looking forward to it.

Thank you! Your videos have helped keep up the excitement!

I'm still betting on 2kg of packing peanuts and 2kg of sugarless gummy bears.

Mine is set to arrive Tuesday. If people are still interested I can try and post some pics of the sprues from the starters for GCPS and Nameless.

2kg of packing peanuts would probably fill a UPS truck.

I'd love to see photos when you get them. I hope to have photos of at least the Forgefathers.

Update today

STLs and army builder on Sept. 3rd

Polish customs blocked GCPS and Marauders from going out

And there's some new renders in the preorder listings on Mantic's shop

Preorders and some new painted model shots: https://www.manticgames.com/?s=epic

A number of vendors have the game up for pre-order now, with varying discounts. That £110 seems like a lot for a starter pack, but I have seen for £90 or slightly less which I dont think is a bad deal for an absolute mass of minis. Actually reminds me of the old Epic Space Marine starter box, and is just missing the grand centrepiece Titan.

120€ at the local stores, 140€ MSRP, including 2 full armies and the full rules and command dice, so 215€ MSRP if bought individually.
Not a bad discount here.

Armoured Clash is 95€ but doesn't include the full rules and armies so about equal while LI with 160€ and you best get 2 of those is on a different level.

Got my MASSIVE pledge and dove right in. For the price, these are amazing. I went for two of everything for four armies so I could have a lot of list diversity, and I am so instantly impressed that I went and preordered a bunch of the Astarian stuff too.

I really hope this does well for Mantic as they've made a great product.

Big Armoured Clash fan, but honestly, you need two of an armies big box for a real game. Its just soooo light at 750-ish to 1000-ish points. Epic Warpath gives a true 2000pt list with no extra purchases, which is wild. In terms of pure deal, Epic Warpath is a steal!

Wow, so you got 4 armies plus reinforcements and super heavies? Please post some photos if you can, even of just a huge pile of stuff..

What's the quality like on the resin stuff? We've only seen a few photos from Mantic.

Technically I "pledged" for eight armies, eight reinforcements and eight super-heavies, but then I double up faction-wise, so it was four factions, twice. :-p

It sounds crazy, but once beta rules were out, it was clear this was a true successor to Epic Armageddon, my favorite army scale game ever. I couldn't resist.

I'll try to get pics later, but it is a TON of stuff, and still cost less than some of my 40k horde armies, so I feel good about it.

Only went through two resin sets so far, but they seem crisp and clean. No issues at least in those!

Very nice. Yeah I’d like to pick up more stuff but a lack of a job right now has me waiting. Plus I’m going to try and paint up all the new stuff first. I’ve been doing well at getting my Kings of War Champions stuff assembled and painted quickly so I’ve already got some familiarity with working with Mantic’s new in house resin too.

I got one of everything, and I'll probably be lending the armies to all my group, but the retail prices look very reasonable, so that might change ^^.

And then there's the STL angle, of course...

Still unpacking... Did anyone receive Veermyn or Forgefather Reinforcements? They're the only items missing from my crate, apparently?

I have them coming on Tuesday for Forgefathers in theory. The photo I posted from Mantic’s latest update shows some of them I believe.
