I... I guess I'm glad I pulled my pledge here (due to lack of funds as I recall, rather then butthurt), seeing as I wanted Black Diamond and Noh. The Noh look reasonable still, but the Black Diamond would be going straight into the big bin of restic that will never be assembled or painted. And the BD are far from the worst. If I pledged for some of those other figures, I'd be out for blood - especially after this many delays.

And I'll always be able to buy the Noh Oni figures (which are the main ones I wanted) at retail for tons less than the Noh + Black Diamond + rules sets I would have pledged for would have cost me.

No more schadenfreude - I can't take it!

Thankfully, this was a campaign from the early days of Kickstarters, and even a pledge for quite a bit wasn't too painful.

But this one is certainly another nail in the "BAG O'MINIS"/"Restic" campaign coffin.

*No, it actually is pretty painful.

Yea, I have Noh and Black Dragons coming, and as soon as I get them it will be Black Dragons going, and Noh holding an uncertain place.

Pretty sure it's "Black Diamonds", Wehr... just sayin'

I'm pretty sure that it is going to end up being called "Restic Crud", actually.

I thought the black diamond stuff didn't turn out too bad.

Their tank thing is pretty bad.

Yeah, it was pretty warped-looking wasn't it? I was thinking of the infantry mostly.

Edit: I'm having to fight my auto-correct today. Sheesh.

Which kind of illustrates the risk in this material (particularly with companies who are inexperienced with it) as I would've thought the tank would be a safe bet, and was something I was seriously considering backing for...

After the messes that are my marauder gun tracks from Mantic, I am convinced restic and vehicles don't mix.

Soft detail and mold lines galore:

A local friend says he just got his tracking info for this.

I just checked my CMON account online and...

..I do not have a tracking number.

Neither here.

Figures that Cerci would be the hardest hit by detail loss. I swear everything I pick is the proverbial red-headed stepchild.

What 40K army have I played since 2nd ed? Sisters of Battle.
City of Heroes MMORPG class? Dark Defender.
Relic Knights? Cerci.

The list goes on and on...

I just received my tracking number, it should be at my house next wednesday... All 12 pounds of it.

Did you get an email confirmation, or did you log in to CMoN's website?

Any pics of this apparently disappointing tank?

I assume you mean this one:



Notice the lovely mold lines and soft detail.

And the lack of detail in the inner faces of the tracks.

Ah, thanks. I'm also very unimpressed with the detail on that. It looks like a complicated board game piece.

Which is what the material should mostly be limited to!

I can't remember, was the LE Candy and Cola from last years gencon "restic" or resin?

Also, confirmation that the following images work would be appreciated.

Looking at the casting gates I would guess that's what people term "proper resin"

Ah well, I was still holding on to that hope! The final nail will or won't come when it's in my hands though.

Edit: At least I know how to link photos on a mobile phone now.

Yes, all indications from those pics are of hand cast resin.

No tracking info here either. Ordered damn near everything, too.

DON'T LAUGH!

I can confirm that I have that Candy mini

Email confirmation.

It appears it's being delivered on horseback though, It's not supposed to be delivered until next thrusday now... Georgia to NJ in more then a week...

Well the first reports of arrivals trickle in (nobody's posted photos on any open forums/groups yet that I've seen though)

It looks like there may be a common issue with missing items from the Cerci starters (3 Hells Belles & 1 Pacer bot), hopefully CMON spot the problem soon or they'll have soooo much postage to cover

Also a report of missing scenic bases

Considering I have a complicated "Gotta Catch 'em All" pledge of just Cerci, Black Diamond, and Noh(with lots of addons and extras) I imagine I'll be on the tail end of fulfillment. It would be great if they do catch it soon, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
