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.
yeah... i know the printed cardstock is super beginner friendly but was just hoping that they would have a resin version like how they have plastic and resin options for all their figures. something for the serious collectors. i am not a fan of cardstock & laser cut terrain. but to each their own.
You won't see me disagree, but what can you do? Doesn't bother me too much. i have plenty of Mantic plastic scenery and a variety of other stuff to keep me busy for a long while, so I'm going to go and happily add the resin pieces Modiphius does release for flavor.

They have the license for Fallout 1 and 2. I don't know about Tactics. Frank appears to be an early Fallout 2 model because their stated release plan has Enclave in wave 2 (they're initially focusing mostly on Fallout 4 with some Fallout 3 thrown in). Makes sense that they would do a unified East Coast/West Coast release for them considering Fallout 2 doesn't have much in the way of graphics to inspire any models.
Also a nice model there. Manufaktura, eh? Got to look into that if the scale is good.
Manchu wrote: Is that the estimate for the UK only or also the US?
When they talked about the plastic starters, they said a separate shipment goes to America so the release of that should happen around the same time as in Europe.
I can't say for sure about the resin models, which are apparently made in Europe.
I do know that resin starters were said to be delayed for North America because that's a late addition and will effectively be plastic starters with the models swapped out for the resin versions in the UK before being shipped (so the plastic starters need to arrive in the UK first and get shipped to America afterwards, which adds time).
Would be cool if Jon Webb popped up to clarify, but I think the crew is currently at UK Games Expo (correct me if I got the name wrong), so that may take a bit.
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.
By Chris Birch on Facebook:
As we mentioned in the update it will take about a week to unpack and prepare the shipments, then when you receive it will depend where in the world you are. UK / EU will be a few days from when the warehouse starts shipping, USA could be a week depending how close to a hub you are. Rest of the World longer. We'll be shipping the orders out in date order - the warehouse can do about a couple of hundred orders per day and this all has to be scheduled so they can focus their resources on it. We expect it will take about a week to ten days to complete the whole pre-order (as previously mentioned those who ordered before the cut-off date get shipped first). We'll update everyone particularly when we know the container is through customs and we can give firm dates for shipping.

Anyway, another comment on the release schedule by Chris Birch on Facebook:
We have confirmation they arrive in the uk port 1st July so will then depend whether customs delay it which could take several days, then its trucked to the uk warehouse and needs about a week to unpack the pallets and prep the shipments. We’ll be doing what we can to reduce that time. I’ll share ship tracking info when I get it

Yeah, that's odd. And you even get the same guy that's in the core box another two times in the expansion.
Now I'm hoping for some Fallout 3 Raiders to add more variety. What's there is nice, but for what's been said to be one of the hordey factions, there's not much variety there.
It might be a case of getting so many Raider sub-factions that the individual groups will be smaller than you'd expect. We'll get Operators, Disciples and Pack down the line, and I assume Rust Devils as well. There has been no word of Far Harbor if I recall, but you'd expect Trappers there. Then Modiphius has proven that they don't update Fallout 3 looks to Fallout 4, so there's a chance we'll get more Raiders for that, too. Plus, perhaps, Slavers from Paradise Falls and the Pitt.
Perhaps they've decided that's too many Raiders overall to be viable unless there are fewer sculpts per group?
Chris Birch just posted an update on shipping. From Facebook:
We've just sent the following update to retailers (we cannot guarantee this reaches every retailer as we don't have them all on our mailing list but will do our best to get it resent by distributors:
The Two Player Starter sets are en-route from China to both the UK and USA. The estimated arrival in port is July 1st (UK), 24th-30th July (USA). We expect customs and delivery to our warehouses to take approximately 10-14 days meaning European distributors should receive stock late July and North America early to mid August (bearing in mind Impressions will be shut for the week of GenCon).
We are shipping the resin expansion sets direct from the UK and are aiming to get them in to the USA for early August so your pre-orders can all ship together.
Probably nothing new for Europe, but may clear up the situation in America a bit.
Just heroes? I guess Survivors might get a half naked dude with a pointy stick. That seems to have worked on Frank the last time around.
I'd put my faith in fire power instead. Or Liberty Prime stepping on him. But for most factions, big guns and bigger booms should be answer.
I've not seen Modiphius comment on the Fallout 76 license. I think they said when it was announced that they were not made aware of it. Would be cool if they get it, though. The Ferals seem to be back to looking cool in that game. Also, giant sloth.
Vorian wrote: Have we been told somewhere what from F1&2 is coming? (other than the amazing Frank of course)
The enclave will lean on the older games for sure, so Frank won't be coming out to bat alone.
I'm not sure we have announced what else there might be yet, so I better keep my mouth shut there
Or have we said the Master...
Gulp...
The master is a lie. I played Fallout 1 and never came across him.
While on topic of coming new shinies, I don't know if you can talk about it, but are there plans for Atom Cats? Asking for a friend who's a big fan of them.
Vorian wrote: I guess most of the F2 Enclave had F3 versions so doing one ticks the other one off.
My memory of Fallout 2 is a bit hazy, but I'll happily take the entire range of Enclave troops from Fallout 3. Especially Hellfire Armor for the power armored variant of my Lone Wanderer.
Wave 2 is going to be so much fun. and very, very expensive.
SHIPPING NEWS (& GENCON): Hi folks just to let you know where we are, I know there's a lot of you watching your email notifications and post boxes like the world was about to end...
After a huge effort Rita (my amazing wife who runs Modiphius with me and is sometimes seen cosplaying a blonde Nora!) and Benn delivered the shipping data to the warehouse. Some of you have some pretty weird crazy addresses so they had to manually go through over 5,000 lines of order info to be absolutely sure every order would process okay. Big thanks to them it's not a fun job. The warehouse are now getting us a slot to start (they're also doing other companies so they're not just sitting around waiting for us). They've loaded the data their end and we're do some spot checks on it as a final approval today. Once approved they get the packing area set up and start processing the first orders with available stock - soon as this starts I'll confirm. Some items are still dropping in. So far we have the 2 Player sets, dice, Nuka caps, resin starter figures, the three faction core sets, acrylic rulers, Settlement Decks, and now Red Rocket has arrived! The faction character and expansion boxes are being delivered monday, then we're just waiting on the creatures, robots and scenics to drop in next week. We're so close now...
GENCON - We were close to getting the orders out before GenCon, I'd love to have been able to sell Fallout: Wasteland Warfare there and we even paid extra to split our shipment to the US to get the two player starter boxes delivered in time. *** However with the pre-order only just starting I decided NOT to sell at GenCon.*** I don't believe it would be fair on those of you who have waited so long and been so patient. Our little business relies on your good will and the ability to work together on amazing pre-orders like this to deliver an insane amount of models. So at GenCon we'll just be demoing and showing off full copies of the game so do come and check it out and we'd love to see you there to tell you about what's coming (oh the shiny...!)
On localized versions of the game:
We're in talks with several countries for 2019 releases will let you know when we know more
DarkTraveler777 wrote: Classy move to hold off selling at Gen Con until pre-orders ship.
It should be said that they will sell the (previously) free pre-order extras as event models as planned and announced some time back. Definitely the Zetan, which was talked about on Facebook, but I assume Nuka Girl also. So if that's something you're interested in, stopping by Modiphius's stand is worth considering.
But regular stock will not be sold until their pre-orders are fulfilled.
ch4ncy wrote: Yeah found the same post. Sadly as I ordered everything it looks like I will be a week or 2 behind some others. But i can drool over my friends starter set till mine arrives
Me too. I don't expect a huge delay and I've already waited nine months, so what's another week or two? Realistically that's just the danger if you are reliant on every single item being there - if one little cog breaks, the whole machine comes to rest...

Another week or 2 gives me time to paint the scenery i keep putting off doing so not a bad thing really..
Hehe, yeah. I've started my third or so side project while I wait.

I can't speak for the retail side of things but Chris did say that they were expecting all the items to be arriving in the factory this week. It's some of the resin parts that were slightly behind the PVC I believe, so the ones already an route Tuesday were probably the PVC only starter sets.
Did seem to only be a matter of days rather than weeks (hopefully). GamesQuest are dealing with the shipping in UK so there shouldn't be any delay caused by the Dev guys being over in the US for Gen Con.
I thought it was Red Rocket, but didn't pay too much attention. What matters to me is that stuff should come in this week, not what it is specifically.
But yeah, it seems the groundwork has been laid and now it's entirely up to the warehouse.
100BostonFan wrote: Do we know if the direct orders for the USA are going out soon?
What we know is that all orders directly from Modiphius are sent out from Britain and that pre-orders placed before March are processed first.
I doubt that an order from America makes a difference, although how long it's on the way and customs meddling with the parcel will be different for America and Europe.
Hi everyone quick update now I'm back from GenCon. The missing two expansions Super Mutants Suiciders & Brotherhood of Steel Knight Captain Cade & Paladin Danse arrived and outstanding orders (eg Super Mutant and Brotherhood Starter bundles) are now shipping. Stock of Terrain Sets, Creatures and Robot models are ready but waiting on some cards - a set of creatures, and two robots card packs went missing in transit so the printers in France are making another batch for us. As soon as they arrive in the UK at the factory next week the factory can finishing packing the sets - this is delaying shipment on the big bundles that include all of these. We'll let you know as soon as they're in but please be patient as it takes a few days to pack everything properly. Meanwhile later next week we're starting to ship priority orders to distributors who ordered by the cut off so retailers should see those about a week later (depending on the distributor).

Automatically Appended Next Post: Modiphius has acrylic tokens, not all for solo but for battle. Yeah I think we will see some 3rd party stuff soon.
Do they? i cant find them, all they seem to have are the ranged rulers (and of course the awesome bottlecaps)
On topic of the caps, "Set of 50 authentic distressed Nuka-Cola bottle caps with sheet of stickers to add game token symbols on the reverse...". No idea if all tokens from the starter set are covered by this, but it's a way of getting stylish tokens for sure.
JonWebb wrote: One of the things I have done it reduce wave 2 down from another wave 1 style epic, to smaller, faster bites.
Sound choice. I like that Fallout starts with a bang, but once the first wave is out people have a good core selection of models and factions and getting out factions one by one, or one off stuff like Liberty Prime or some scenery, is going to make for an attractive addition. Doesn't have to be wave 1 all over again to appeal.
JonWebb wrote: This means wave 2 will only be raiders, with a few extra bits of scenery and creatures.
Yay, Raiders. The only thing that gets in the way of total happiness is that I need the various power armors for my player characters, most notably Hellfire and T-51. Aside from that I'm looking forward to have these fine Wasteland ladies and gentlemen in my collection.
Oh, sure. Go ahead, take your time. I'll wait over here and get a glow tan in the meantime. Everyone loves those, right?
But seriously, good to see we'll be getting the X-01 in wave 2. Thanks for the info. I need that one, too (perhaps you're seeing a pattern emerge there ).
At least this time around I'll have wave 1 to keep me busy while I wait. Can't wait to transplant some Minutemen heads on some combat armored BoS Knights and a T-60 guy and make the Minutemen that tiny bit less of a joke. No worries, though. I'll still have Preston...
Maddok_Death wrote: I think I'm going to blow through the starter box quick as far as painting goes, only because I'm playing on Sunday. I'm going to put Nora in a Sack Hood helmet, an maybe spike armor. I still need to read the rules lol. I'm waiting for the battle reports mainly.
I thought about getting preston to make raider terrain... that guy.
Side note I started a second play through and got to SWAN and that would be awesome for a named character for Super Mutants!
Nice. Have fun.
I'm looking forward to playing myself. The rules look good from reading them. Can't wait.
I was afraid they'd put Garvey in the starter set. If they had, I'd have duplicates of him (the horror...) and I would have definitely turned him into Raider terrain.
I imagine we'll get Swan eventually. They're doing somewhat obscure named Raiders. No reason to not then go and do the much more notable Swan for Super Mutants.
Maddok_Death wrote: My first game was shakey, and first impressions of doing battle mode wasn't well. The rules are slightly confusing or unclear.
The quick start rules are just for single player. Are the updated rules in the box or online only?
How do you build your force for battle?
Are there scenarios for pvp? I could find deployment charts anywhere.
What equipment each model had was confusing.
I couldn't find anything for models dual wielding weapons.
Piling into close combat, I couldn't find rules for it but remember it happening in the video.
For activation can you double shoot or double melee?
During painting the mutants they had some bad flash lines that I couldn't get easily and left them. The modiphious forums has a bad link also.
Hopefully it was just new game learning, I was slaughtered. I killed the tech slave and that was it, I was tabled by turn 3. The power armor took reduced so many hits, I had a hound and the brute fighting it with no avail.
Can't say what's in the box because I don't have my stuff yet, but from reading the rule book (which is free for download on Modiphius's website, and if you ordered from them you should have gotten an E-Mail with download link, too) I remember thinking the rules were written well, using elegant mechanics.
Modiphius said they would release a battle mode PDF today. Now normally people only talk about points, but it has previously been stated there would be army lists with unit and equipment restrictions. This leads me to believe that they'll also cover battle mode scenarios in the document, although that' speculation on my part. The stated goal was to be able to update battle mode as necessary and provide it for free.
How is equipment confusing, if I may ask? You should have a unit card with equipment cards right beside it, similar to how FFG does things.
What do you mean by piling in? You can just wander into base contact with a normal move (which should be covered in the charge rules section) and you can slide around the enemy base after fighting (if I recall - it's been a while since I read the rules and I've had a lot of other stuff on my mind since) to get into a different position (while still remaining in base contact with the original model) to get into base contact with another nearby enemy.
You can shoot and fight twice. Unless you have a weapon (like a missile launcher for instance, if I recall) that restricts this. That's a special rule attached to the weapon though, and should be easy to find.
I'm not a fan of PVC models and had the displeasure of working with some in the last couple of months. The only reason I look forward to the starter set miniatures is to see the quality of Modiphius's PVC for myself. The best thing you can do for fiddly bits, in my experience anyway, is to use a scalpel with a fine, sharp tip so you get even into the toughest spots and the cut and scrape away. Can take a lot of patience, though.
Super convenient to get a crashed alien ship. That'll save me a lot of work.
Interesting to see both "waves" and a "campaign box". Does that mean the Mirelurk Queen comes as part of a campaign supplement in the way it was suggested Liberty Prime would come with a campaign to either assemble it or stop the Brotherhood from doing so?
Anyway, good to see Mirelurks. Now if you would excuse me, I'll climb on a mountain and never, ever come down to sea level again.
Wait, hang on. It just occurred to me, there's still no Brahmin in the previews. Not to sound greedy, but it would be good to get those sooner rather than later. Damn.
