I haven't seen any posted pictures of the hardback book, so I thought I'd take some.

I like the plain design but as someone mentioned earlier the lack of anything on the spine isn't ideal.

Hey! Got a ship notice overnight. 10.1kg, and due on Monday. If recent UPS deliveries from the UK are any indication, it'll get delayed by a day in customs and end up getting here on Tuesday. Still, I should have it all in hand for my break from work, and maybe even have time to try out/play a game. (using 40k figs as proxies..)

Just got my second wave (Sans plastic sprue enforcers/forge guard, of course). Everything appears to be there, and I like the look of their new(?) 40mm bases.

On a side note, I'd missed looking closely at the Zombie sprues earlier, because my wife and I happily noticed that there appears to be gender parity for the zombie sprues. Here's hoping the trend continues on into the future, as it means my wife's savings will be poured into Mantic's pocket alongside my own!

Is it one female zombie per 5-zombie sprue, or were there two female torsos? That was a pretty cool move by Mantic. Although.. it begs the question, where did all of the female zombies come from since there are so few female soldier and civilian minis floating around Well, comparatively to space knights and space soldiers, etc.

2 female zombies per sprue.

How do I know this? Because UPS just arrived with an 8.74KG box of Deadzone.

Looks like I'll be doing a bit of an unboxing tonight!

Well, thanks for letting us know you're watching Dune!

My second wave stuff arrived. I don't remember ordering 4 Striders, but whatever. The book's nice.

Packing errors in your favour are always nice, rather than the reverse ; p They were 2 for 1 which was a pretty good deal, I went for some after that.

Further to this, got an email today that my form has been reviewed, an apology that the wave 2 shipping is interfering with their normal operations, and an estimate that my stuff will be sent by Monday 8th.

Received an email today that my replacement stuff is shipped (I assume, it's a generic 'your wave 2 order has been shipped'). So not quite as quick as first indicated, but still very acceptable.

A friend also got 4 when he thought he ordered 2. I only got 2.

Mine is apparently coming in 2 parcels. I don't remember ordering that much stuff, maybe my mind has mercifully blanked it?

Hmm, if they're willing to make additions to the next shipment, I see this guy adding 6 more striders onto his...

^ Read that again. $300 for free softback compendium, second survey credit included.

The free resins and hardback have *always* been original KS money only, and this has been the case ever since the KS ended.

If anyone was expecting free resins or hardback from survey spends, you're not going to be getting them, this was something that was clearly communicated during the KS and I spent $40 to buy the hardback because I knew I wouldn't qualify with survey cash.

That doesn't seem like what he was saying, but I guess you may be right. I'll find out when I get my stuff since I'm way over 750 on the second survey.

They were 2 for 1, so if you ordered 2, voila!

My stuff arrived. Sadly missing the compendium - it's not ticked on the packing form, and not in the box.

Anyone got a handy link to the missing bits form, please?

I got mine yesterday and the shipping e-mail today. There's more than I was expecting (although I did order it all) and it all seems complete (without opening any bags, it was too overwhelming).

The one thing that I did find interesting was the Enforcer on bike, which unlike the dark grey resin of everything else, was everything from white to light blue to translucent blue. Loads of thin flash too on it too, which I don't remember the original models having, but I may have just erased that process from my memory.

I got the paperback books and they were all nice and up to Mantic's usual quality. Looks like there's a bit more background fluff in some of them, which is something I feel Mantic could do with more of.

Yeah, the books are all full color just top notch quality.

So, I was thinking of doing a proper 'unboxing' but I figured this image was just far more illustrative of reality.

This is a result of me having a grand total of 3 minutes to open my 8.74Kg box of Deadzone before I had to go out to work this morning.

Anyone want pics of anything in specific, while I start rummaging through it all?

Nice to see a lot of happy going around . My delivery notification just arrived, too.

If you need this again, and can't be asked to scroll back, it's on the 'contact' section of the Mantic site.

Got my delivery email at 11.55 this morning, at 12 the postie arrived with my boxes

Everything seems there so far, the zombie sprues made up most of one of the boxes and look really good the forge fathers from what I can see through the bag look pretty mold line free although the striders have some biggish sprue chunks to remove.

i'm hoping I can add on some enforcer sprues to wave3 if their of the same quality as the zombies, I'd better drop mantic an email..

Got my shipping notice just now, 8.3 kg.

Looks like I better get some Relic Knights games in fast, I'm gonna be real busy with Deadzone soon,

I got my shipping notice three days after the box.

What's odd is it says it will be in one box, yet I got 2 (of 2).

Maybe that's in reference to my missing Forge Father Brokkrs I was supposed to get?

Got my shipping notification this morning and ten minutes later the box arrived on my doorstep. I've heard a few people say something similar so I guess a whole batch of e-mails got delayed or forgotten about until now or something.

Only my FF starter was labelled as such, the rest came just the same as Wave 1, chucked in any old how. Wasn't rocket science to work out what was what, though, and nothing was missing (nothing extra, either :()

Some pretty noticeable mould lines on the Asterians (but nothing awfu), barely any on anything else. The detail on all the restic items (except the strider pilots) seems much crisper than in Wave 1, so that's a positive.

Speaking of the Striders, if anyone could tell me which parts make the left arm that attaches to the massive enforcer gun I'd be really grateful. The slots and tabs and nubs on the parts I have don't seem to match up at all.

The plastic zombies look great, kind of wish I had more than just the free sprue.

Really happy with it all. Quality seems much better than in wave 1, though I may well have just got lucky this time!

The quality does seem much better, although I'll still stick to my plastic sprues only policy come the warpath ks, although the forgefathers are really nice!

Curious as to what Method is being applied to the Madness that must be shipping all of this stuff out!

I'm here in Massachusetts, and I haven't received a package or a notification yet...

Yeah, I just keep checking my front door every time I go in the house. :(

Yes, the PVC quality is definitely better, better than the recent Warmahordes stuff I've been assembling (my buddy got into it and dragged me along). Much crisper.

The Asterians are much smaller and slighter than I thought they'd be. They're very true 28 comparied to the Marauders. I really really like them.

The Space Zombies are excellent, just great. If the hard plastic Enforcers and Forge Fathers are anything like this then Mantic has a homerun. The zombies are crisper than Renedra sprues - did a quick eyeball comparison to plastic Perry Afrikakorps and the previous Mantic Forge Father steel warriors sprue. Also, I actually prefer the one-compartment-per-bit sprue design, it makes it really easy to locate the bit you want and the sprue is very sturdy (unlike some WGF and Renedra sprues that have bits pre-popped off in the box)

Overall lots of thumbs up.

Delighted to see so many people happy about the quality of the PVC. Getting more excited to see mine now.

Presently still in the waiting to hear / receive anything camp. And let me tell you, our camp rocks!

Still haven't gotten a notification email, or anything on my door saying a delivery was attempted...

Probably doesn't help that I moved (which I told them) in between surveys.

Don't feel bad. I have not moved and am in the same no delivery or notification boat you are in.

Orders will continue to be shipped out up to the Sept 15th, so there's no need to panic.

I got my shipping notice. It said that my 6.7kg box was still in England, and will be delivered on the 17th. I may have to get cracking on the stuff I still haven't painted to make room.
