Ha! Our exposure to old Vinnie is pretty limited over here. Just a couple of acting gigs and the Heart attack commercial. Someone made a joke about that pic in the Maelstrom thread, so I threw him up there. For now, anyway. I'll put a pretty lady up next, I'm sure people will think I'm awesome then..

Love the human trooper (going to love painting that in hazard suit colours!) and I guess the zombie is OK - bit of a special one though? I think it looks a bit odd because it is still wearing a head-band (this zombie accessorises! ) but that was a necessity to try and tie it to the other Ramirez model.

Would it be inappropriate now for me to go onto the official forum and make a post saying
WHY IS THE ZOMBI WITH A HEDBAND AND HAS NO LIPS WTF ALSO THE HEAD AND ALSO THE FACE IS 2 BIG WOLOLOL!!!1!!!
Or would that not be appropriate ?

That is the zombie mutated phase Sergeant Ramirez.

the really disturbing one is the "Not Ripley", with the little girl mutated into her. Compared to her, Ramirez is relatively tame in comparison.

Well it is great to see some progress. Significant progress at that! The biohazard Morgan looks even better than the concept, he works really well in 3D. Can't wait to paint Strain Ramirez!

Did anyone actually buy the game in order to get the Strain? I am going to be honest and say I only bought it for the humans!

I'm the same as you. I'll keep enough Strain to play the game, but I'm getting rid of the rest, if I can.

Didn't buy them for the strain at all, but I've got no objection to a mass of easily-painted sci-fi zombies, either...

I love the flamer dude! And I'm a fan of the Ramirez zombie. But I really love the flamer dude!

I bought for the Strain. Thanks to AT-43 and Infinity, I have more than enough high-tech future soldiers if I have a need for them. Not that I dislike the humans, but the Strain(especially the later phase Strain) was what got me to pledge initially.

I can see using them for the non-exploding ONI Rank * Zombies(since they never go produced) when not being used for Sedition Wars and Tomorrow's War(which we'll probably use until the McVeys give us a Wargame rule set).

yeah I bought it for the humans too, mostly to jump start my "high tech" guard army. I'll still paint up the strain, I plan to play sedition wars too, but I'll be using the models primarily for my IG army. Just sold my old cadian IG army to make way for the new one Will be a mix of the SW guys plus models from Dreamforge, especially their APC.

I bought it (initially) for the Calamity Crew, but as very keen on the strain too (as per my avatar here)

I'm even getting the gimicky (and expensive compared to the main box) glow in the dark versions

Yup. Nurgle zombies for 40K! LOTS of Nurgle zombies for 40K! GLOW IN THE DARK Nurgle zombies for 40K...

Can't wait...

Absolutely! The strain are perfect for the zombie-esque scenarios for Infinity, so I'll be quite happily batch painting the lot of them up for that purpose!

And looking forward to the pretty-lady avatar mate... or to be honest anything other than Vinny Jones!

I definitely got it for the humans.

The way I see it, though, it'll go 2 ways:

1- the game is awesome, I eventually am inspired to paint up all the minis for it, staying loyal to the game feeling

2- the game is decent or worse, I cannibalize all the humans for a platoon or several vet/storm trooper IG squads, and the strain join Typhus and a bunch of obliterators in a badass tech plague.

Nice gallery, I especially like the creative use of deoderant(?) tubes

That's basically my reasoning. I've been wary of supporting kickstarters for stand alone games, unless I have another use for the miniatures, simply because if the rules are garbage I just flushed my money. The only reason I supported this was because I knew the miniatures could, and will, double as IG vs. Chaos Cultists.

This reasoning is why I wound up skipping on Zombicide. While I kind of regret that decision because it appears the rules are great, at the time I reasoned that I already have enough zombie miniatures and the price tag wasn't worth just picking up a few survivor minis, so if the rules sucked it would have meant selling it on Ebay or giving it room in the closet.

Haha, yup, those are rare-earth magneted onto the heavily modified 40k vehicle to become a UNA Camel troop transport. And that's a UNA decal sheet in that other pic...
gotta paint it and add weathering and UNA style camo to hopefully hide the deodorant-ness of the engines

An Update ... FINALLY ... and, unfortunately, as expected but with an additional Free mini :

Project Update #68: Production update!

"Hi everyone! Here’s a production update (at last).

We’ve hit a bit of a snag – all 6000 Sedition Wars boxed games for Kickstarter are ready, but the extra Biohazard models meant to go out with this shipment will only be ready November the 10th. Via the fastest boats to the USA and UK, we are likely to begin shipping these out at the beginning of December rather than November as originally hoped, but do anticipate being able to ship both the EU and USA at the same time.

There was a little drama with the printing sub-contractor when the boss disappeared with all his company’s funds (if you read Chinese you can probably Google it) – fortunately we were able to get most of the Sedition Wars printed materials out of the factory and get the remaining stuff reprinted by another printer.

What’s coming in this shipment:- the game, Biohazard extra pack A (extra models, but not the new ones, that’ll be next year), the Lights Out campaign pack and components and extra dice. We know this is a disappointment, so Mike and team are coming up with an extra character fig to put in Biohazard pack B for next year, which will go out to all Biohazard level backers for free (one per Biohazard level pledge). As we get firmer shipping dates we’ll let you know, but don’t anticipate further delays. We’ll be updating with the concepts for the new character soon so stay tuned!

Once again, from the crew at CMON and Studio McVey we’re really sorry about the delay and hope you like the new character. "

Meh, dealing with china and slipping less than a month I'm cool with it. Glad to hear about another figure

December is fine by me! It will arrive at the same time as a heap of other ks stuff as well. This is going to be a fun Christmas...

Horay for more freebies!

Not a problem and I still get my stuff before Christmas (plus I'll always be happy with an extra McVey model into the bargain).

I hope so too, but I also wouldn't be surprised at all if this slips into 2013.

Still, an extra figure is a very nice way of saying "Oops!" and "Sorry!" - and more than OK by me at ths point.

I'm just glad we got an update...

Three cheers for whoever 'liberated' the printed stuff from the factory

I suspect it's only them who have made a christmas delivery possible

All things considered it's great that things will be coming out as soon as they are. Then again I go into these things expecting there to be some delay do to some unforeseen problem, and it is quite difficult to plan for the old disappear with all the money trick.

I'm really looking forward to the concepts for the new character as well the ensuing complaints about how the character doesn't fit the universe or has lips that are too pouty.

I'm honestly not surprised. This comes under the "What could possibly go wrong?" heading.

Bought into this expecting delays, so the extra figure now is a nice bonus

I like the "Hazmat" styled trooper model.

Zombirez reminds me of the "Marauder" enemy type from Mass Effect 3...which is definitely a good thing! That bizarre blend of flesh and machine, where it's still recognizable as an individual but different enough to make your flesh crawl is awesome.

QFT, a nominal apology for mistakes etc. is plenty, and a mini is awesome. (Fun statistic: if you screw up and do a good job setting it right, customers are more likely to come back than if the project runs smoothly throughout.)

Update from Mike on Studio McVey forum

Hi guys.

First off a couple of apologies -

Sorry the game is going to be late delivering to you - I know it may sound like a late and lame apology, but it really was circumstances beyond our control. The day I got an email saying the printer had absconded with the company's funds was not a happy one! Ever since then it's been a balancing act of not wantting to post and freak everyone out - and wanting to keep you informed of what has been going on. In the end I decided to hold off posting until we could give you some definite information (and that has been hard to come by for a little while).

Sorry also that we have been crappy at posting here in general lately. As I've said in the past we are moving house and studio, and believe it or not - that's still happening. Trying to keep up with all that (building work, plumbers and electricians - decorating, and trying to keep track of where all our work and belongings are located), has been a 'challenge' - and coupled with that we don't have an anywhere close to reliable internet connection. So a few things have suffered because of that - and posting on the forums is one of them I'm afraid. We are due to move in early next week, so hopefully things will get better in that regard.

At least we can now give you a better idea of where things are with the game - and a little sweetener in the way of an apology.

Rest assured things have been progressing behind the scenes - both on all the KS components and on AoS. More news on which 'soon'.

I also have a 100% finished copy of the game in my possession, and it looks awesome. Really very happy with it. We are going to shoot an un-boxing video next week and post it here - then you will be able to see what you're getting. Hope you like it as much as we do!

In the mean time - here some shots of another finished sculpt. Lovely piece of work. More to come very soon.

Cheers, and thanks for being patient with us.

mike

and here's Keegan Kor

Those minis are awesome.

Oh my. What an incredible sculpt! He has heaps of character, lots of nice accessories and perfect posing, one of my favorite models so far I think.

Are the other two models alternate sculpts as well? Don't think I have seen them before..
