What current kits and what previous kits?

The message clearly states that anything produced by companies other than Warlord are not included but this is still a pretty sweet deal.

So would the WGF kits that were rebranded - the the point of changing the molds so the model bases say Warlord on the bottom - count as made by Warlord or not?

And here is the code for the UK store: BONANZA2016

Does this apply to the kits Warlord acquired from wargames factory? Does warlord actually own those wgf kits or are they only distributing them on wgfs behalf? I still need the zombie survivors and woodland Indians kits for This Is Not a Test.

Yes, it does. If in doubt, you can click the filter on the left titled "Warlord Games Products" to see what qualifies for the sale.

Just ordered them all, thanks.

I've heard various rumours about a Campaign System being written.. has anyone heard any solid info on this?

Also - any word on further expansions? I'd love to see chem-suit-clad survivors perhaps?

I'm sure a lot depends on how well it sells. £30 is certainly a steal for the starter, but I'm not sure how much people want to buy after zombiecide et al.

There is a good write-up about the game and rules in Wargames Illustrated for anyone who wants a closer look. It certainly looks fun, and I'd agree there is tremendous room for expansion if Warlord run with it.

I bought box during Salute, I think that 30pounds for that box is a good price, nice miniatures, tokens have a good quality...
Also take all the other boxes and the specialtroops are great!!
Compared to ks products, Im really happy.

Sometimes I think people don't know prices to produce miniatures.
60% margin for distributor, 10% production cost, taxes.. So you win practically nothing.

You will see now lot of companies appearing but very few continue to make more than 3 or 4 miniatures, because people get used to KS prices (without distribution and some also without paying taxes) and traditional companies have to survive....

I don't think that warlord have expensive prices.

It's more about the discrepancies between the prices of Warlord's Historical figures (which I have a LOT of) and the prices of the Project Z/Moderns - which is a significant amount higher per figure/sprue.

I bought the Project Z Spec Ops guys and I am very happy with the miniatures. The sheer amount of spare guns you get is especially excellent, as it will allow me to re-arm my Ariadna miniatures in more modern looking weapons for my Ariadna STALKER force.

The only complaint I have is that the mid-section of the miniature is missing a bit of height, but luckily for me both the torso and legs are separate, so it's not too had to add that in using some plasticard/greenstuff. Also, the heads are little more heroic scaled that say the earlier scale of Ariadna miniatures (before the latest size change), but hey, you can order heads from Hasslefree which can easily solve that problem

Overall I am very happy. Mine are going to be used to make stand in USAriadna Marauders (with a few added armour pads here and there) at a scale that matches my older style miniatures, as I want uniformity across the range that I own.

A good purchase. Especially with the plethora of weapon options available on the sprue, and definitely if you also include how many more extras you also receive. I hope they keep this up, as I would like to see more like this from them in the future.

So a new expansion is coming out;

http://www.warlordgames.com/pre-order-the-project-z-mart/

Which is basically the game redone and set in a super market (including the terrain), still no campaign rules, no new gangs but includes rules for interior of buildings which should have been in the game already.

Also releasing a model for Dr. Puke, some sort of enhanced mutant zombie thing and possibly the zombie dogs for general release. I would include pictures but am too much of a luddite to know how to!

Tempted to pick this up to make a Super Duper Mart for TiNaT...

Looks like its not yet available as a standalone kit, only bundles. That's a pain in the are because I just bought the two original survivor kits and dont need more.

Wife pre-ordered it while I was at work Gotta love the gamer ladies! Indifferent on the game itself, it will probably mostly be used for TiNaT.

She bought me a pack of Frostgrave Cultists too as I'd mentioned I was looking for minis to use as Children of Atom...

.. I have to say, you are a very lucky guy

Pig Iron Productions have some miniatures that are perfect for Children of Atom - the Kolony Ferals. I'm probably going to use them as a Ghoul themed Mutant warband.

The Project Z supermarket has been released as a stand alone kit, made of 'wood' (presumably MDF) and costing 45GBP. Also released are the zombie beast and Dr. Puke but still no sign of the zombie dogs.

Holy moly, fantastic Project Z deal incoming:

https://us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/project-z/products/spec-ops-lock-and-load-bundle

The Spec OPs 'Lock n Load' special set Contains:

Compound by Sarissa Precision:
- 7 walls
- 1 gate wall
- Factory Unit
- Helipad
- Water tank
- Portacabin
- Compound lights

Extras:
- resin sand baged positions x 2
- 4 piles of boxes
- 1 water container
- 2 sets of containers
- 3 pallets

Project Z components:

- Plus Humvee!

Want a Second Humvee? Just choose the option on the drop down menu when you order the Lock n load special offer!

£75 is not bad for that much crack.

Already ordered!

You can also get the Sarissa Compound by itself but 40 USD more for well over 138 USD more stuff is a ... no brainer.

I'll see myself out.

I just ordered the base game for my oldest son for Christmas. That deal is really sick though. Sally Fourth (I believe) just released a deal for barricades with a starter and they have a shopping mall deal too (IIRC). If someone doesn't beat me to it I'll post up pictures and links. EDIT: My bad, that's a bundle for The Walking Dead.. but the terrain for that obviously has relevance to this..

Seeing the post about Children of Atom and other stuff, I am thinking there's more to this game than just survivors and zombies? I had no clue.. I own a fair amount of Pig-Iron stuff from when I did a panic buy thinking they were going out of business.

Also see 4ground's Twin Peaks Mall:

http://www.4ground.co.uk/twin_peaks

I hear the food court makes a damn fine cup of coffee.

MLaw: the Children of Atom are a faction from Bethesda's Fallout games; this isn't something you will find in Project Z.

Although I plan to introduce a UFO faction myself ...

Looks like it might finally be time for me to jump in on Project Z.

The thing I don't like about Project Z is you have to buy more packs of models to get all the game cards (and many in the initial run of core sets had card errors). I'm one that already owned several boxes of the Wargames Factory survivors/zombies before purchasing Project Z, so I don't want to buy the same boxes again (at a higher cost with less models) just to get the cards. Game play is okay, but I kind of prefer the rules for TWD (even though I don't follow the show or comic).

I do like that new deal from Warlord, though, just for the miniatures and terrain!

If I were to get it I'd use the 7OMBIETV rules myself, as their rules are a bit of a mess.

That's a bloody brilliant deal.

Anyone know where the Humvee has come from, is it one of Warlords?

I don't believe WLG ever made one. Apparently will not be available outside of this deal.

It may be something from the original company behind the game, or from one of the many smaller companies annexed by Warlord over the years.

Looks like the one from Empress to me but I could be off.. (I'm basing that mostly on the gunner and the way the tires are made)
