The Gears look very Anime. And I'd probably use those from Corvus Belli, just for scale purposes, at least. But the minis are in line with most other companies, but have somewhat better proportions, imho.

And since there is no distributor for Canada, from what I found out, it is a pain to get. Which is sad, but will make Mark more money from me.

They have clean lines and good proportions. They'll work fine.

I've thought about it too. They might serve as proxies =)
Maybe a little too tall but it shouldn't be too much of a problem

Don't know much about infinity though to be honest, only enough to know that I hated the look of the models and that really turned me off from it.

Heard it's a lot of fun though.

Not all Anime is big 'eyes' and small mouths:

No kidding!



And INFINITY may be 'anime-inspired', but it isn't too much so, if that makes sense.

Having said that, I'm having trouble imagining where some of these figures could fit in - PanO, maybe?

I never said they had giant eyes, boobs the size of watermellons, and blue hair. I just said they look anime inspired, a look I don't really care for. All the figs I've seen in person are very slim as well, another thing that I disliked. Bash GW's chunky heroic scale all you want, but it does make the models easier for clumsy people like me to work with. I've used finicky models in the past like WGF germans and the UAMC marines, and I hated it. Thankfully Mark has hit the perfect middleground, with figures that make sense yet aren't super skinny either. I really don't want another fiddly set of infantry to work on

I love the level of detail they pack onto their basic infantry. My DFG Stormtroopers will be everything above Light armour. This means I'll have a field day using Mark's goodies. Once they get here.

Seriously, who uses ships anymore?

also considering China's economy is basically based on its exports to the US I find it hard to believe they havent invited some sort of transport device that allows them to get goods into the country in the blink of an eye

Everyone who has ever called for an air freight quote.

QFT! Air shipping for anything more then a single cracker is insane. If you're moving bulk freight, you get ships.

Container starts packing in 2 days boys and girls! We can then hope nothing happens to the gorramn ship en route.

Any news on the ship/shipping?

Wargames Factory replied to me on a Facebook post and said they hope to have the Dreamforge stuff available to show and possibly buy during the Williamsburg Muster (weekend of Feb 2) so I'm guessing if they have product by then, the KS backers will have their stuff well before then too!

You shut your filthy mouth.

Though they'll be at the muster...interesting.

Ok that is great news I guess its actually time to start painting.

So...no one's given a direct answer. -How much is the Leviathan going to cost-?

Nobody really knows yet. Just like the stormtroopers and other models, we know how much they were for the kickstarter, and can only assume they will cost more at retail (as we got our minis at a pretty good discount for backing the program).

By the way, if anything happens to that ship heading over here Scarletsquig, I will hunt you down

Hm. Well, how much were they in the Kickstarter? If we're looking at $200+ then I may as well go for an actual Titan >_>

They were $89.
Expect no more than $150 msrp which will get the usual discounts

Thankfully the Port strike was averted as the dock workers agreed to a new deal. I was more then a little worried it would impact this shipment!

Exactly. Take Thewarstore.com for example (they carry Wargames Factory), they typically run at around a 20% discount...so the $150 would drop to around $120. Its not too hard to find 20-25% if you shop around. I personally use The WarStore for any of my non Ebay purchasing....top notch service and pretty quick shipping.

I wonder how long after KS rewards ship it will be till it's up for normal sale?

I wouldn't be surprised to see them put up on preorder soon. Then ship out at same time as our ks are going out the door.

I'm going to be honest. I really don't care if retails preorders are put up before backer copies ship or not. I didn't fund this to get my toys before everyone else. I did it because I believe in the project and want to see it succeed.

Qft, but none of the stores around me carry wgf, so I'd like to get mine and assemble it and see if they will display them just to get more people involved. Would love to see the next kickstarter explode with hundreds of new backers. I'm sure mark would like it too.

Dang, if I had known they were only $89 I would've chipped in as well! XD Oh well, I'll have to keep an eye out then!

Update from Kickstarter folks!

"Just a heads up, the shipment left China last week (Dec 29th) to start its sea voyage, so we are still on track for it landing in Utah the last week of January.

We filled a 40 foot container just for the KS backs there was another shipment that left shortly after for the retailers stock.

Fingers crossed, this will be a common occurrence :-P

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamforge-games/something-wicked-this-way-comes-crusader-plastic-m/posts/380527?ref=activity "

As of the 29th the shipment was on the water. We expect it to hit WGF Utah the last week of January.

How did you spot my box!

That is awesome.
