Those female corp actually look terrific! Seems like they have kept to the concepts very well and all the poses seem quite well thought out. (Although I must protest at yet more pointy fingers, having half the Forge Father team pointing randomly was bad enough without anther team doing it!)

what details?

Just finishing off 88's glove I think, nothing serious.

I love that their armor looks functional and beefy, and not some skintight armored bodystocking.

Those Zzor look awesome with wasp color scheme http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/DreadBall/Teams/Product/Locust-City-Chiefs-Zzor-Team-8-Figures.html
(link now works!! Sorry)


I'm also glad none of the starting rosters are guard heavy, as season 1 is a major slugfest with those teams. Nice to see some variety really developing!!

Starting line-ups

Judwan
Striker x8

Female Corporation
Jacks x4
Strikers x3
Guards x1

Robots (not totally sure how this works since figures can change position)
Jacks x6
Strikers x2
Guards x2

Z'zor
Jacks x5
Strikers x2
Guards x1

(sorry for the new thread. Didn't realize this was goin)

That link still doesn't work, Dragon.

Wow those look really nice! I see that there is a Dreadball tournament in May, might have to start thinking about that one..

The other teams don't have pics yet, just a picture plus a list of the contents. Here is the link: http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/DreadBall/Teams.html

Good thing that the Tau Air Caste team (Judwan) is released in April, same month as the Tau Codex. I am tempted to buy a team.

I'm still looking for decent pics of the altnerative acrylic inserts colours.

Robots (not totally sure how this works since figures can change position)
Jacks x6
Strikers x2
Guards x2

jake said that you start with the 6 Jacks on the pitch and then take one off and replace it with a different model when you transform.

Ye gods, mark this day down as one in infamy, the day that Kroothawk said he will buy something from Mantic!

*looks out the window to check the sky has not fallen*

Have to say though that this 2nd wave will really help bolster the game, the female Corp team look fantastic and hopefully set a good precedent for the other stuff on the way.

As mentioned, the Zzor paint scheme link doesn't work, does someone have the right one?

remove the extra . at the end of it.

Just chucked in my season 2 survey. Including the acrylic pitch, with orange and silver inserts. - I think I'm really going to regret that, to be honest. I'm worried it'll look silly.

Sorry about the link fellas. Works now. The picture is the Zzor guard.

So how do you keep track on numbers/special abilities? That my biggest question.

Pic of the Robot Team is up:

Really like the concept, and think they are pretty cool looking!

There is a look of the 'Geth' about them from Mass Effect perhaps?

Overall though I'm impressed, are they posable / multi part?

They are really tasty, but will wait till they are released to see reviews on the mold line issue. My teams I got with my KS had horrendous mold lines on them and would not like to go though that again!

Have you not seen the sketch of their star player on the kickstarter site?
He's basically Legion.

I think these guys were Mantic's first foray into digital modeling and I have to say it was a great success! They are much larger than I was expecting but I have nothing against that (though they may need slightly bigger bases by the looks of it).

And I know I said it before but wow those female corp are good!

Wow those robots came out really well, the femcorp are nice don't like the defenders helmet, bloodly hate the colour scheme but the sculpts are great overall.

I'm glad those are the two season 2 teams I got. They look fabulous.

Mantic has really taken a leading role in the production of amazing restic miniatures. I really hope their hard plastics come out as nicely.

The robot star player definitely looks like a Geth, but the robots in that picture remind me a lot more of the Loaders from Borderlands... Either way, they look awesome!

that isn't their MVp... firewall (the robo keeper) is.

the geth-thing was a ks exclusive.

Wow, those bots look good!

What's up with the bases? Didn't the sculptors get the memo that hexagon bases are out and smaller round bases are in? All miniatures seem to barely touch the bases with their innermost toes which looks odd and is bad for stability.

They fit inside the hexagon bases. I dunno why they photograph the models without them. I guess it's to stop the clear bases messing with the flash or something?

Ah, okay. I don't play the game.

You troll mantic threads enough, you should have caught wind of the basing style by now.

The bases are an optional extra they aren't required to play the game, backers asked for them during the KS and they added them (though they were planned all along anyway) so the miniatures aren't pictured with bases as they aren't required.

(actually they are required for the Vermyn as some of them have major fall-overitis without them),

It's true those bots stand too wide to look decent on anything but hex bases (or wider round bases) though.
