Also, out of curiousity, are the resin models being spin cast or are you using all gravity molds? My guess would be spin cast for the infantry and scenery bits and gravity molds for larger stuff like the Corvegas.


I'm meeting with the factory monday so will get some feedback.

Thanks for clarifying this point. Previous statements made the situation seem like you were prioritizing production for pre-orders and everything else was secondary.

What is frustrating is the mixed messages and changing information that has occurred leading up to and immediately following the pre-order launch. It is entirely messy, it is confusing to keep information straight, and while it may have justification internally, externally it is off-putting. And really, that may be the most disappointing thing about the way this pre-order has been rolled out. Not being able to excitedly join in on the fun of pre-ordering because there is so much missing, or changing, information sucks. It seems like if you guys had waited a few more weeks a lot of these issues would have been resolved behind the scenes instead of correcting as you go publicly.


Sorry it came across like that, we tend to be more reactive rather than just steaming ahead ignoring the community. Often things do change in the costing process at the last minute or in how we manufacture which can help let us give people a better deal. We're happy to change as we go and I'm always looking at how we can give people a better deal. We're quite open about changes which is why you see us talking about it more, whilst other companies would give you stony silence. We're adding more info almost daily - like the painted figure comparisons with the spru's that have popped up. Sometimes on these projects you have to push the button, we'd already delayed by a month and there's a lot of other moving parts around a major release that you just can't keep delaying because of some details. Because we're smaller and able to be more reactive we can and do make changes to benefit our customers. There's actually more bonuses still to come we've not announced so the pre-order will be hopefully better for everyone.

I am excited for the game, especially after trying it out at Gencon. I have a couple of questions about the game before I fire off a pre-order though.

1) Will we be seeing a download of the rules, or at least some sample forces before the pre-order ends? I would like to know how many of the various figures I will need.
2) When these new pre-orders get added (I am excited to see them!), will everyone who is eligible for the Nuka-Cola Girl be eligible for them, or will some of them only be available for people who pre-ordered more?
3) Related to the first two, If I place a pre-order for a certain amount now, will I be able to add to it later?

1) Yes - it's being edited at the moment, will then go in to layout and approvals with Bethesda. Once they sign off we'll make it available for free download. Typical games will be around 10-20 figures with shorter games being under 10 per side (actually 5 Brotherhood vs 20 Raiders would be a good example) and bigger games being up to 30 per side of cheaper units like Raiders or Synths. So you can have some awesome games with 10-20 figures total actually.

2) If you mean new bonuses - everyone who qualifies will get them as they will be upgrades to sets. So if your order included a set it will include the upgrade. It's possible we might upgrade the Nuka Cola Girl bonus depending on the progress of the pre-order as well.

3) As it's a store order you would be charged postage again. We can always cancel your order so you can re-order with the larger amount though. If you place mutiple orders we will take in to account the total spent when working out if you qualify for the bonus Nuka Cola Girl

Thanks for the response. I look forward to seeing the rulebook and deciding what figures I need.

I do, too. Mostly because the East Coast BoS has three color schemes now. Traditional silver, very dark silver and red of the Outcasts and Fallout 4's that falls in between. It'll be good to see the latter on the models.

Looks nice enough. I'm not a fan of elevation on gaming mats because they are inherently 2D and it doesn't look good to me to mix real and fake 3D terrain on the same board. Doesn't look like that's much of an issue here.

Does the gatling laser look straighter to anyone else or is it just me? Could be the video quality or my old eyes. Anyway, it's nice to see painted models in the presentation.

Something something... stat cards... something something...

Resolution doesn't help of course, expect proper reveals soon, once I dig myself out of the pile of demo models I have been painting (plus the models for the rule book painting guides...)

The gun is still the original mis printed version, but don't worry, the factory has been sent a reprint that isn't crooked.

BoS studio models are in and photographed, but we will be taking them to Essen next week, so I think we are saving the reveal for then.

More studio models are coming soon, as the factory is now starting to send us shiny new toys to play with.

So, real physical models will start to be way more prevalent going forward.

It was more the design than anything, no new toys reveal beyond that, but none the less its good to be able to show somewhat finished cards, rather than the playtest versions we had at GenCon.

We are trying to get more ready for Essen, including weapons and the like, lets see if our designer can pull it off (card count is high in the game, current count is over 1000 across the first wave!?!?)

These are spread throughout the different modes of course.

Also, not sure if people would have seen the confirmation, so I will repeat it here.

Battle mode (traditional war-game style) will be free online for download, as will all the cards, points etc needed to play (this will be a living document as the game evolves). This will include all the generic weapons and items that you might need.

Model specific weapons (IE Mr Handy's arms) will come with those models, as they won't be useable outside of owning that model.

The narrative/adventure cards will come as part of the different expansion boxes.

So, if you want to play a straight, clean war-game, everything will be available online. If you are buying the expansions to grow your narrative game, then the extra cards you need will be provided as part of those sets.

We want to make sure as much as possible is available for download, and that there are no barriers to open comp play so you won't need to buy specific models (possibly out of faction) to get hold of a weapon or item you want/need.

By Chris Birch on Facebook:

If you're coming to Essen Spiele next week we're running three demos of Fallout: Wasteland Warfare - one in Hall 2 (D109) and two in Hall 6 (A118) and there's a free party on the Saturday night where we'll reveal new sculpts and plans for Fallout! There will be a facebook live so if you can't make it try to catch it online.

Coming to Essen Spiele? You can find us at Stand 2 D109 (Fallout Demo & Star Trek Adventures sales) and Stand 6 A118 (Fallout & Kung Fu Panda demos and the store). Don't forget our FREE Modiphius community party on Saturday night - you just need to pick up a ticket from our stand. There will be a facebook live of the presentation so catch us online if you can't make it - probably around 9pm ish...

If you do, come find me running Fallout demos on the smaller stand (2-D109)

I might have the cabinet of studio painted minis there (Brotherhood, and hopefully the Star Trek range as our painter is dropping them to me in person at the show), unless Chris steals them for the second stand... he will, won't he :(

Looks like someone got a good shot of the stat cards this weekend.

Here is Sole Survivor (a slightly levelled version of the character, vs Sole Survivor Day One who would be more like a fresh from the Vaults character (lower stats)).

Nice design. Now I'm wondering if there will be design rules for your own Vault Dweller. I don't feel properly represented by someone with woefully low endurance.

Nothing announced (yet ) but I am musing on some Necromunda style skills advancements to bolt on to the campaign mode we already have in place, that would allow for stat increase.

One thing to bear in mind, unlike many games, skills are not tied to specific stats in all cases. So, in this case, the Endurance stat of this model isn't used, as they have no skills against their Endurance (the icons in the circles are various skills, see if you can guess what they might be).

Our Sole Survivor has focussed on speed to keep her alive, rather than tanking damage like a Super Mutant might, so her health (the heart skill icon) is tied to Agility not Endurance.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Well, as long as I can play a properly tanky model I'm happy.

Huh, the circles.

S: big guns, melee weapons
P: pistols, rifles
E:
C: some sort of leadership, and morale range?
I: hacking, searching
A: grenade rang, lockpicking, health
L:

Edit: Of course, campaign mode is where it's at for me, so a nice progression system wouldn't go amiss. I'd love to get a functional RPG (-lite) out of the game.

That seems like a good litmus test. You were almost spot on across the board. Big guns = Heavy Weapons (but you were essentially right there), the only other ones that are slightly off is the fist, which is Battle Cry and Presence which is about the range for giving out any passive buffs etc. I wouldn't expect anyone outside of the playtest group to know those yet.

Yay, go me!

It's a good thing, indeed. I'm not used to symbols instead of words for special rules or weapon categories. The presentation on the card is pretty good and easy to read. Makes me happy. You know, old dogs and new tricks and all that.

Ah, but will there also be a CBBE option for the model?

(If you don't know what that means, DO NOT Google it at work, NSFW)

Edit: now that I think about it, a Fallout minis game does lend itself to the idea of customizable models. I know of at least one website that lets you select from a whole bunch of options to create a custom 3d printed model. And there is, or was, a service that would 3d print your WoW character for you. I assume, though, that 3d printing of sufficient quality would still be prohibitively expensive for most people.

At one point there was talk of a multi part Vault Dweller set that may or may not happen which would give you more options to create your characters. It's not the same, of course, but the next best option and probably as far as it gets with the official support. And I certainly hope this will become reality.

But like the CBBE mod, you'll be looking at other sources for your custom character because, let's face it, the license only takes it so far. By and large people in Fallout wear scandalous amounts of clothing.

Well if we are going CBBE you'd also want to go with unzipped

My bos gal Claire is African american with short hair, found a few heads that will get me close to the look I want.

I will however have one unmodified Nora anyway.

Multi part kit would be really cool if it happened but fallout seems ripe for conversion work if not.

You'll never realistically match the game for all the variables and would go bankrupt trying.

Agreed. The post-apocalyptic setting really lends itself to individualization. I want one of each model to paint as is, sort of as the baseline, but it'll be great to have all these Fallout models available to hack up for bits and to customize.

Which is also why I cant't wait for more power armor. T-60 is well and good, but I want the other ones as well, particularly X-01. Mostly stock for military organizations but customized and loaded down with stuff for scavengers and similar folks.

Scale comparison shamelessly stolen from Facebook (by Ywan ManYver):

I have brought special Image with me from SPIEL17 that should help you guys to get absolutly clearance about the physical Scale of the Miniatures in Reality and how nice they fit in any existing Range you may have collected already!
And its a very nice Macroshot to see how amazing detailed the models are.
THE OFFICIAL MODEL IS THE RIGHT ONE! Left is another manufacturer for Scale comparison!
