Agreed. I have loads of GCPS troop sprues and was annoyed when I started planning out what units to build, that there were no sniper weapons on the sprue.
I really don't need more of the sprues, just the upgrade parts.

I'm also looking forward to the mules and hornets.
Would have been nice if my Kickstarter Hultr had come when my Tunnel Runners did.

So far the Enforcer Command, Defenders and FF Thorgarim team are full sets rather than metal upgrades only this might be a new approach for Mantic and while I can see the GCPS Snipers and Tank Hunters getting separate releases I think it will be with the sprues as a full set. The other thing to consider is they just released the Veer-Myn Creepers as a complete 5 man unit for £9.99 where as the metal upgrade only set is £7.99 so for £2 more you get a sprue as well, the full set is even better from an online discounter @20% off it becomes £7.99 as well and upgrade sets don't go to retail so you'll always be paying Mantic full price for them. The Enforcer Breachers and Heavy upgrades did give me hope of upgrades only and they are cheaper at £4.99 but after seeing all the parts in the command and defender sets they're unlikely to sell for £4.99.

You should have the FF stuff in the next week or 2 I'm still waiting on mine and support told me they just finished shipping them. GCPS vehicles are "end of year".

Yeah, the lack of vehicles is why I haven't touched any of my Mantic stuff yet. It's also stopped me from backing any Mantic KS going forward - they cannot deliver on their promises.

Update time.

Typical timing for me. I'm about to be out of country for 7 months.


Still...something to paint when I get home.


Hi backers,

Sorry for the radio silence in the past couple of months. We have been holding off sending out an update until we had some concrete dates and news before getting in touch with backers.


First off, the good news is that the Tunneler is arriving on September 19th and they'll be in the post within a few days of being delivered to our warehouse. This means that if you’ve got a Tunneler as part of your pledge, you’ll be receiving it shortly! We can’t wait to see some painted examples - make sure you send them in to our Facebook page.

To clarify a few details about wave two shipping:

If you just had a Forge Father Sturnhammer/APC, Forge Father Hultr or Veer-myn Tunnel Runner in your pledge, you should have received them by now. If you haven’t please contact support@manticgames.com
If you had any of the above AND a Tunneler in your pledge, then we’ll be sending all your vehicles once the Tunnelers arrive next week. Delivery can take up to 28 days and we’ll post an update once the shipping is complete so you know when to expect delivery
The outstanding vehicles to be delivered are the following:

GCPS Mule
GCPS Hornet
Plague Mule
Asterian Chira Transport
As mentioned in the previous update, these are at the prototype stage and you can see some photographs below. We’re delighted with the examples we’ve seen and can’t wait to get these into your hands. Again, sorry for the delay in getting these to you but we didn’t want to rush them and compromise on quality. We’re sure you’ll be pleased with the results!

We’ve just got a few more comments on the prototypes, which shouldn’t take long to sort out, and then we’ll fly those in from the factory and get them out to you. We'll be in touch soon with a delivery date.

Hope you’re all enjoying playing Warpath. Please continue to share your pictures on Facebook, upload battle reports to YouTube and hold demo games at your local store/club!

Best wishes and thanks again for helping make this happen,

Ronnie

Hmmm that goes against what support told me a month ago - that wave 2 had just finished shipping , I should have it within 28 days (which is tomorrow) and my order would not be held for the Tunnellers - but I'm not surprised given I still haven't got wave 2 yet looks like it will be another 2 or 3 weeks.

Pictures from the update:

Mule - lots of parts in the bag and is that a Plague 3rd Gen in there? also appears to be 2 side panels for each side so hopefully this means all the Plague parts are also in the plastic kit.



Hornet - Plague parts in there as well but this was always a dual kit.

Tunnelers dispatching to KS buyers





As you can see, you get open and closed hatches, as well as both weapon options for your Tunneller to be used alongside your Veer-Myn in games of Warpath.



If you went for a Tunneller Battlegroup, then you'll also receive an additional transport section. This is attached between the rear plate and central section of the Tunneller, to extend its transport capacity, allowing it to carry more rats in to battle when it emerges form the ground. There's also a selection of alternative side panels which you can use to customise any of your Tunnellers.


I'll certainly be picking up one/some when they hit retail for my Genestealer cult

Battlezones are back in stock http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/new/terrain-crate.html

Gang Warzone what could that possibly be aimed at???

Battlezones are back! Now under the TerrainCrate banner, we’ve redesigned these hard plastic sets to be better than ever. The main focus is to provide prospective builders with a theme for their scenery, based around a ruined factory or security outpost, for example. However, this does not stop you from creating your own buildings using the new configurations; taking advantage of the modular scenery.

There are 4 new sets available, which you can see below, with many more on the way soon! These are perfect for any Sci-Fi Wargame or Skirmish game, including Warpath and Deadzone!

Industrial Accessories – full of various pipes, conveyor belts, and heavy machinery, this set is perfect to add industrial themed scatter terrain to your tabletop. You could even use these in contemporary settings without issue!



Forgotten Foundry – representing a ruined industrial building, this set can be used to create one decent sized collapsed structure or several smaller pieces of cover. It even includes some of the conveyors and pipes from the accessories set – perfect for a skirmish sized board.



Gang Warzone – everyone knows that you can’t have a good gang war without gantries and walkways! This set includes loads of these, plus barricades, scatter terrain, and enough parts to build towers to hold everything up. This would be great for your Deadzone Strike Teams to fight over.



Ruined City – with enough terrain for a wargaming table, this set is full of ruined and intact building components, plus extra scatter terrain to be used as cover in your games. You could use this to fully cover a Deadzone board, or to create several buildings for a Warpath board, including both ruined and intact structures.



These new sets are available to pre-order now from the Mantic Website! What will you be building with yours?

I am really bummed they still don't have the landing pad, and various sizes of ruins. They need to get those back in stock.


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Agreed.

Those sets look like they made too many of the ruins sprues and are using them to 'water down' the other parts they have left. :-(

Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong but have prices go up on the terrain from Mantic? It''s £99.99 for the Ruined City set, am I perceiving these wrong?

Hard to say without an exact contents list (which Mantic have said they'll add) The Ruined Quadrant was £99.99 and would be the old equivalent of the ruined city set they look close in contents (EDIT: nowhere close nearly halved the content see below).

The Urban Sector was £49.99 Gang Warzone is the current equivalent for £49.99.

It looks like you're getting roughly the same for the same price just with different contents. (EDIT: nope see below)

These are just the first sets more will follow.

This set contains nearly 420 pieces of modular terrain including 240 Connectors, allowing you to construct a range of buildings that will provide plenty of cover for any wargame.

This set contains:

7x Ruins Sprue 7.1
5x Ruins Sprue 7.2
4x Urban Sprue 1
4x Urban Sprue 2.1
4x Urban Sprue 2.2
1x Accessories Sprue 3
5x Connectors

No idea what any of those sprues are.

Old set had 762 pieces

6 x Urban Sprue A
4 x Urban Sprue B
4 x Urban Sprue C
2 x Sci-Fi Accessory Sprue
2 x Landing Pad Sprue A
2 x Landing Pad Sprue B
2 x Fortifications Sprue A
2 x Fortifications Sprue B
11 x Ruins Sprue A
11 x Ruins Sprue B
8 x Connector Sprue

So they've nearly halved the content for the same price sneaky price rise there. The sprues have also been renamed making it harder to figure out what's in each.

I did up a graphic for the new Ruined City contents.

EDIT: Gang Warzone contains 250 pieces

4x Ruins Sprue 7.1
2x Ruins Sprue 7.2
2x Industrial Walls Sprue 3
2x Urban Sprue 1
1x Urban Sprue 2.1
1x Urban Sprue 2.2
1x Accessories Sprue 3
3x Connectors

Urban sector had

6 x Urban Sprue A
4 x Urban Sprue B
4 x Urban Sprue C
3 x Sci-Fi Accessory Sprue
2 x Landing Pad Sprue A
2 x Landing Pad Sprue B
3 x Connector Sprue

21 sprues (old) vs 13 (new) so again less for same price (ignoring connectors).

Wow that's a huge price rise,

wonder if it's a consequence of moving these to their other factory? (not sure if they did), making a much smaller order (no KS money) so not getting such a good deal or if it's just a cash grab

(I know international prices have risen and the pound has fallen but this does seem far more than needed to compensate for that)

Well, Necromunda is being re-released in a box with no terrain, so plastic industrial scenery is probably looking very attractive to a lot of people right now (and frankly Battlezones are a lot more functional for gaming than the SWA terrain). If there was ever a perfect time to hike up the price, it is now.
