Wyrd, from my experience, has the worst demoers of any company at a convention.

Additionally, I dont understand that method. If they had given me a short, one turn demo and I liked it, I'd have purchased it right then. The idea that you'll send me away from your table and the place I can buy your product is foolish IMO.

I'm offended Albeit when I demo'd for Wyrd I was in the Event Hall, but they're not far from the norm... Every demo I got at GenCon was similar, get me a few minutes with the game, and try to hook me.

Then have a look at this thread about GW's demo table for professional traders

I guess I'm jaded because they were very beardy and rude to my wife when she wanted a demo. That'll turn you off quick

That's completely understandable. I think I had to turn away some people in the Event Hall simply because we were booked. I try to be friend and excited when I give a demo...

If you're going to Origins, I can bring Dreadball with me, and we can play through a Rush or two if you're interested

I swear I need to move to Ohio. I constantly see you guys talking about conventions in your region. It's crazy

We're just close enough to AdeptiCon and GenCon that we don't have to worry, but there is also Origins in Columbus.

I wouldn't blame you...

Ohio, despite our manic weather and crappy economy, isn't so bad :-).

Alf, I think I may be at origins. Ill let ya know.

Any insight on the Teraton team make-up yet? Were those 2 jacks and a guard, or do we think they'll actually have strikers?

Anyway, the Amera stadium is supposed to be pretty good, better than their usual plastic and made out of thicker stuff. It does look a bit plain, but loads of potential for LEDs and sponsorship posters and things:

Looks like a relatively simple vacu-formed plastic job to me. It obviously has potential, but also looks like it would make playing the actual game a bit more difficult in terms of picking up and moving the figures.

that's what I was thinking. Having to reach over that thing might be a royal pain unless you were standing and playing or had a low table. Interesting for display at least. Could set other players in the crowd watching the game (which is where I think those teratons are hangning out)

I asked that question, and all the guy at Salute could tell me was that they would be Guards and Jacks only and could teleport. No info on how the teleport mechanic would work though.

Great news guys – Season 2 is now shipping!!

The following models will shortly be winging there way over to you!

- Void Sirens Female Corporation Team



- Pelgar Mystics Judwan Team



- Helder, MVP



- Mee’kel Judwan, MVP



- Rico, MVP



- Buzzcut, MVP



- Cheerleaders



- Coaches



- Locust City Chiefs Z’zor Team



- Chromium Chargers Robot Team



- Ludwig, MVP



- Firewall, MVP



In addition, also shipping are:

- Season 2 Rulebook

- Gabe

- White Cases

- Team Dice

- extra stuff from the second survey - such as pitches, t-shirts, refbots, decals etc.

- Plus whatever other items we have that we can squeeze in!

Barring any unexpected issues, we expect to have all of the Kickstarters shipped by the end of next week – with a release date of Q2 2013 (April to the end of June effectively) we’re really proud of our design team and warehouse guys who have worked non-stop to ensure that your items start shipping day 25 of a 90 period – a phenomenal achievement given the trials and challenges of getting this number of models complete!

Furthermore, all the Season 3 models are with the manufacturer and are being tooled - so we're on track to deliver our third shipment!

So there you have it guys, part 2/3 is nearly in the post and part 3/3 isn’t far away at all. We look forwards to showing you the remainder of the models - everything from the Asterians to the prone markers - over the next couple of months!!

I am glad I skipped the coaches and cheerleaders. The teams all look really good. Zzor are probably the best things Mantic have produced.

What do you mean. Master Splinter looks awesome :p

He might become my Teratons' coach. Does anyone know a company that makes...er, wereturtles... for my MVPs?

Mantic continues to impress with their on-schedule releases, everything I pledged for looks fantastic as well, very happy with this!

The Heresy one is great but here's more dwarf sized. I think Reaper have a couple.

The season 2 teams look good, I just wish they wouldn't use repeat poses / would make their models so that same sculpt could have at least an arm turned differently. But overall, well done, bodes well for my season 3 Nameless

Season 3 is where it's at. Teratons and Nameless all the way!!

All right. So who else wants to see Yndij come to fruition in Dreadball?

Yes please! Though I'd also like to see the last few MVPs from the kickstarter in Deadzone.

I've been tempted to pledge "Mercenary" in deadzone just to ensure a bad arse Teraton that can be used with most teams. Enforcers AND a Teraton.....yes please.

I'm kinda hopin someone else does though, since I can't justify it at the moment.

Like what? DreadBall Season 4: Deadzone-Ball ?

A friend of mine used to make a chaos dwarf team out of WFB dwarf bits, it will be pretty cool if the miniatures are there to be able to use some minis for cross-over between Warpath/Dreadball/Deadzone.

Dreadball seems like it might be best to keep them seperate. The main issue I have with outside models in Dreadball is positional poses. I know some want them fully posable, but I like being able to know what they are in a quick glance.
