They're about to start shipping, I doubt they'll give out refunds this late in the game.

CMoN seem to be sitting on the update that they've been sent (wouldn't be the first time)

in the mean time Deke posted some pictures









The Prefects have always been a bit slighter in proportion but I think there's a bit of restic shrinkage going on as well :(

RESTIC!!!!

(shakes fist at the heavens)

I actually think the Prefects and Hasami look a little better I those photographs. Might just be me though.

I hope they took all that extra time to get the restic casting right as I wouldn't want another sedition wars esque binning on my hands.

They managed to post this one on a Saturday

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/relic-knights/posts/800729?at=BAh7CDoMcG9zdF9pZGkD2TcMSSIIdWlkBjoGRVRpAyRHKUkiC2V4cGlyeQY7BlRJIhgyMDE0LTA1LTA1IDAyOjQxOjI2BjsGVA%3D%3D--72b71634923dd6084767c617cd0ccc1acf87f73b&ref=backer_project_update

I'm not saying it's always been the case but CMoN have sometimes taken weeks to post updates they have been sent in the past - I know of one that took 6 weeks the timing of the update wasn't exactly critical but still along time to have it.

Anyway I'm sure this one will turn up early next week

I'm going to go postal on my minis.

Man, you must get some really messed up packages in the mail!

I got a toenail in one of my sedition wars bags in the second wave.

I also once got a dead fly from China too.

We knew it would be pvc from the start. They stated they were going to use the same factory as Privateer Press before the kickstarter even ended.

I've never touched the stuff until I got Sedition Wars.

It was nightmare to clean up.

Still great bases and doors.

You should eBay them as limited edition collector's items!

It wasn't that bad.

Its much better than anything Mantic's offered up.

I personally think "nightmare" is a bit of an overstatement.

No, it really was that bad, and know for a fact I am not alone. Thus the whole debacle.

I won't touch mantic stuff ever again, Just the quality of sculpts is dead dog sh!t.

I know fantasy isn't king in the world of Tabletop Gaming, but Mantic has had a golden opportunity to be the king of mass fantasy battles but seem to squander it time and time again with piss poor sculpts. Every now and then they make some that really make you "That is awesome".

But most of the time, I feel as thought the creative team for mantic are the same people who wrote and directed Sharknado.

you have to wonder how something like that is possible to get in their in the first place.

No where near as bad as my sister getting a beetle in her Ramen soup.

I also know I wasn't alone. Again, I don't think cleaning the Sediton wars models was bad at all. And the design and art direction, at the very least, is heads and shoulders above Mantic.

No disagreement there.

Oh, the art design and sculptures (metal and resin specifically) were fantastic, IMP, SedWars has top 5 in terms of that in the world of wargaming IMO. Kara, Samaritans, those heavy armor troopers. FANTASTIC.

Fact they are not ham fisted makes them that much better.

The Restic loss quite a bit of detail, more than I would have liked, but given the method of production and their goal to produce large quantities on the cheap I have no problem with it. The material is just not a good choice. Especially for a box of 50 miniatures. A piece of terrain or a handful of miniatures I could see.

Restic is going to loose more detail with a smaller model, larger stuff works pretty well for it. From what I've seen of Relic Knight stuff most of the models are substantually larger then the models people had problems with in Sedition Wars.

This isn't the first time Soda Pop has worked with restic, their entire SDE line is done with the material and at the same factory I belive. For now I'm willing to go with the flow and wait to judge their stuff.

The stuff looked good at Adepticon....

Those were the resins, weren't they? They had them at Templecon too.

The Noh dragon and stuff right? They were at last year's Gencon too.

They had what certainly looked to be 'production' "plastics" in the case too - for the Doctrine faction, I think?

And yeah, they did look good...

Nope. They had production plastics of a few of the factions.

I have seen a few faction plastics on various web stores, mostly a few of the oni and speed circuit bikes, so it might have been those.

Isn't there supposed to be an update out?

Soda Pop sent it to CMON to put up a week or so ago, but no sign of it yet

Deke is, however, carrying on posting his own amateur photos of some of the unseen before stuff on the soda pop forum

Near as I can tell from fuzzy, unfocused pictures the first and third ninja look cool, but the second looks a little wonky... Might just be the pose.

Deke does make a point of saying he's not a great photographer made worse by having a new camera he isn't comfortable with yet

Is his backpack not on his back?
