I think the FF have got a bit of a bum rap because they shared the KoW bits, but I've got some of the newer ones and they are nice little minis - definitely better than the old Squat models in any case

We'll have to agree to disagree there as well. I really did like the slightly rag tag, dwarf biker look of the original RT-era squats. So pissed off I sold the ones I had as part of the Imperial Guard Army I sold (which I'm also pissed about) when I was 16 or so.

As we hunker down after another day hard at work getting the Deadzone Kickstarter ship shape, some of you may have noticed that pre-orders have gone live from our retailers for Deadzone with a late November shipping date. Well, that's because we're going to be delivering the first Deadzone Kickstarter Shipment in November too!

^ Yeah, the decision to replace dwarves with orcs and goblins in the new 2-player set was a very good one.

Shows off Mantic's best model ranges, and makes the overall set much better value for money since I can see myself making both Orc and Undead armies because the minis are:

a) Gorgeous and
b) Soooo cheap. They're running a sale at the moment where the box is £40 instead of £50.. combine that with internet retailer discount (I found it at 35% off), and it ends up costing around 30p/mini, some of which is cavalry and the really nice restic wraiths. No-brainer purchase.

in the UK, TWG has it for GBP30. Rubbish retailer though and intl. shipping is insane.
Mantic has it for $74.99, free shipping from $75.00 (so get a single sprue of bases, or whatever!) to R.O.W. destinations. Since any discounter is probably going to have to charge about their discount in shipping, I'd estimate you'd be off cheapest just getting it from Mantic.
...Unless there's some AU discounter stocking them, who's passing on the discount to his customers.

Interesting that the set gets the rubber mat. I guess there will be a budget version that just gets the paper mat, and a much more cut-down set of stuff.

I've had a quick gander over the pdf. It seems good, though I'm inwardly cringing at finding how difficult the teratons will be. I was looking forward to them but I'm now really not sure I fit their playstyle. They've got the difficulty of goblin jacks scoring, combined with the ease of dwarfs falling over.

That might be because I've not really read the teleporting rules yet.
