For me this is a question that will only be answered with MSRP

Seriously genius idea for the person who mentioned it. I had very little interest in the tunneler outside of a TMNT scenario but now I want 3 of them for terrain

Ronnie has said £25/$40 for all vehicles unless the manufacturing costs warrant a higher price.

Tunneller looks good, sharp details no issues there looks like the new manufacturer has what it takes to manufacture the remaining vehicles.

Downside is I have tunnellers in my order so I have to wait for them before I get the FF tanks.

So can anybody tell me what's still missing from the KS other than vehicles?

I lost track and don't know any longer. I got my share of an Operation Heracles and there are no Pathfinders. I recall being some issues months ago but I don't know if Pathfinders got delayed or simply are missing from my set.

Ah gak. I misread the update and thought they were finally going to ship the forgefather tanks when the half tracks and tunnel runners come in. If they're holding them up for the tunnelers that still need to be tweaked, than approved, then manufactured, then shipped... then we've got many months of additional wait in front of us. And then given their track record, they'll hold them up again for the hornets, mules and chromas...

Actually, you've misread it wrong there.

Firstly, anyone who has ordered a Tank, but not a Tunnel Runner, Tunneler or Hultr has their tanks shipped. If they've ordered any one the other vehicles, this doesn't affect this wave.

Secondly, anyone who has ordered either a Tunnel Runner or Hultr has theirs shipped, along with the tank, if they ordered any. So these orders will either have a hultr, a tunnel runner and a tank if they ordered one. The only exception is someone ordered a Tuneller, in which case they are held back.

The final wave of Tanks will go alongside the Tunneller, which will be the last in. If these people order Hultrs or Tunnel Runners too, then they will be sent with this shipment.

After this, all Forge Father Tanks will have been shipped. The only outstanding items will be the three vehicles (Mule, Hornet, Chroma).

So aside from my last, sarcastic (bit you know it might work out that way anyway), bit after the ellipses, I'm correct:

I received my 3 tanks (and nothing else) about a week ago but I'm not sure I should have as I also have tunnelers and tunnel runners ordered. I mean I'm not complaining- I just expected to be at the back of the queue.

TL: DR Tunneller now entering production, Asterian Chira, Hornet and Mule due by years end


Kickstarter

86
Tunnel Runners & Hultr incoming, plus update on remaining vehicles...
Posted by Mantic Games (Creator)
Hi everyone,
We just wanted to give you a quick update about the status of the remaining vehicles for the Kickstarter. As you are aware, we were hit with a manufacturing problem for the vehicles earlier in the year, which meant we had to find a new manufacturer for the outstanding vehicles.
The good news is that we've now found a manufacturer and have sent the remaining vehicles to be tooled ready for release. So, the status on the remaining vehicles to be delivered as part of the Kickstarter is as follows:
Veer-myn Tunnel Runners - we are expecting these to be delivered to our warehouse any day now and they'll be dispatched as soon as possible.
Forge Father Hultr - we are expecting these to be delivered to our warehouse any day now and they'll be dispatched as soon as possible
Veer-myn Tunneller - this was the vehicle we sent to the new manufacturer to test their capability to produce the remaining vehicles. We've had the final prototype through and we're pleased with the results, so the manufacturing process has now started on the Tunneller. Once complete we'll get them sent to our UK warehouse as soon as possible and will begin shipping
Asterian Chira Transport - now we're happy with the new manufacturer, this will be sent for tooling and the manufacturing process can begin. We expect to deliver this to Kickstarter backers at the end of the year
Mule - now we're happy with the new manufacturer, this will be sent for tooling and the manufacturing process can begin. We expect to deliver this to Kickstarter backers at the end of the year
Hornet Dropship - now we're happy with the new manufacturer, this will be sent for tooling and the manufacturing process can begin. We expect to deliver this to Kickstarter backers at the end of the year
Once again, we're sorry for the delay in getting the vehicles out to all the backers but there is now a solution in place and we expect to have everything delivered by the end of the year. Thank you for your patience!

They're hopeful of getting them to us by the end of the year. While I can respect that, it doesn't mean I expect them in hand by then...

I don't mind proxying Hornets and Mules for a bit but actuall having models that fit with the feel of my marines is kind of a big thing for me.

Individual Enforcer Interceptor and Forgefather tanks now available for pre order ships 4th August. They released the Arbiter with metal upgrade Polaris Cannons on its own after all rather than as part of a 3 pack.

Actually they did, that's what the Enforcer Aerial Denial Wing is, and why it's £15 more than the Aerial Support Wing

True but the original plan if I recall correctly was to only release it as part of a 3 kit set like the KS. Glad they change their minds now if they would just do it for the Jotunn Magma Cannon I dont need 3 just to get the 1 magma cannon. At least there is precedent the strider burst laser was released separately and as an upgrade part only at a later date.

I'm interested in seeing what the Enforcer Command Squad looks like even if it's just metal versions of the original designs it's still better than restic and having a medic that's the same size as the other Enforcers would be great.

Yeah I don't even need a whole Jotunn, got enough chassis, I just want the new gun to replace the old Surtr kit I have that I've not painted yet.

Really, they should offer the upgrade parts separately - or to save on it costing too much, they should offer larger bitz packs. A "one of everything" per army might be too large, but a pack that has one or two of every resin and metal alternate arm option for the Iron Ancestor lets people buy them without buying a whole new mini, but also keeps the cost and skus down for Mantic. Extend that to the other multiweapon guntrack/walker class minis.

Looking forward to seeing the new Command squad, wiling to bet it's new arm pieces for the five sprue kit.
Also a bare headed option, that should be interesting.

And while I'm here, does anyone know what left arm goes with the thermal rifle from the Breach and Eradicate kit?

In USD, that's 8 Brone Korpuses, 5 if you buy them individually.

What happened? That's just a punishing if not unviable price for tank that doesn't transform into a girlfriend pillow or something.

Anyone know if you can order from Mantic in GBP from the US.. lol the exchange rate is ridiculous on their site. I've been looking at doing the same for GW..

You can order in GBP but you don't get free shipping and they apply a shipping charge that brings you back almost to what you would have paid had you just paid USD.

I was looking at an order that's €120 or £85. £85 is around €97 so €23 cheaper but if I check out at £85 it adds £13 shipping for a new total of £98 - €112 now the saving is only €8.

I might just wait until an online discounter gets the stuff I want and get 20% off pay in GBP and get free shipping.

29.99£ isn't a very competitive price, I'm afraid they might have overestimated the effect 8th edition 40k would have on the 28mm sci-fi market.
