Well, I say this speaking relatively, but I know a lot of folks will be "disappointed" when their Wave 1 orders arrive. I say this, not because you won't get a mountain of amazing stuff, but rather because sooooo much of what most people are getting really will be in Wave 2.

I know i'm drooling over receiving all of my stuff, but I admit, I want some of the rules and minis from Wave 2, most of all... specifically those delicious faction boosters.

Also, I cannot wait for the next round Pledge Manager. I am easily going to throw another $300-400 at the game once I can order the mech-suits, motorcycles, etc... from the light vehicle options, and then probably even more terrain, and more character starters/boosters.

In my head i'm going to be doing all this mass buying in order to beef up my Warpath options... though silly me, I keep forgetting a proper Warpath KS is coming, and will happily steal another $500+ from me. Hard-plastic, Mantic-priced vehicles? HELL YES.

So, NTN, you do realize the pledge boosters are on the list of things that are supposed to go onto the first wave, right? Has that changed in the last week or two, because otherwise it's been the case for months at this point.

I will probably also be dumping more money in on the second survey, there are some SS stuff I left off to save money for other stuff, primarily peacekeepers and maybe the zombies... more terrain if I need it (or they produce that other sprue of it like they said), and possibly one each of the walkers... *maybe*.

I'm gonna do clear acrylic bases. I have some reservations, but i'm 90% sure those will melt quickly when I get my deadzone mats and terrain.

I'm not so sure. I was under the assumption that all the faction-boosters are Wave 2. I could be wrong, and am purely going by memory from the KS, but i'm 99% sure every booster model is Wave 2.

According to the graphic, under booster-bundles, it says "ALL Booster Bundles Shipping Q2 2014".

Here you go, update #96

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1744629938/deadzone-the-sci-fi-miniatures-board-game/posts/508735

To my knowledge, nothing I've seen so far as contradicted the shipping information you'll find in the middle of that update, meaning that the only things you shouldn't expect in your first shipment are:

Forge Father Faction Starters and Boosters
Asterian Faction Starters and Boosters
Plague Zombies
Light Support Vehicles (Pathfinder on Bike, Iron Ancestor, Stuntbot, Striders)
Faction Special Characters
Enforcers in Peacekeeper Armour (if funded!)
Deadzone Compendium
Deadzone Collector's Edition Hardback Book
AI Card Deck

If anyone knows better or differently, please to letting us know

Hey... I will be very, VERY happy to admit i'm wrong. ;-)

You're still going the Iron Man route, right?

Spoiler:

Yup, still going iron man route. I'll post pics of the 5-man squads all together with captains (once I finish the 5th WM and SC armor model for each unit). Then I just have to finish the other squads. Have Monday and Tuesday off though, so that helps!

Just to confirm, Enforcer Boosters won't be in wave 1 shipping, they're waiting on the hard plastics for those. Rebs, Plague and Marauders will get their boosters.

Fallout 4! Deadzone release pending!

* head explodes*

...small scenery package OTW to Mantic today...

131,000 individual pieces in all, over half a tonne.... 3 months + 2 weeks (pretty much 7 days a week) work.

Roy (pictured) is a very happy caster now that's all done!

That is awesome! Can't wait to get this stuff...

Hahah awesome Antenociti, thanks for the pic ; )

It would be a shame if something were to... happen to... that delivery. *makes a phone call*

I thought enforcer boosters were all restic? Or is this because of the plastic burst laser and shields? If that's the case.. bummer. I may have to do marauders or rebs to go with plague for my first intro/demo games.

Although the starter isn't bad per se. Would probably focus on the captain though... and I may have a few of the corporation marine guns that it looks like they took the fusion gun from...

From the latest MA update:



Muwahhaha. That's what I'm getting (just in for 6 bugs, probably 3 ants and 3 spiders)

That looks pretty great. I also like that its bigger than the martian (obviously), without being so big it would feel like it would take up the whole table.

Once again, I'm starting to think Mantic is really picking up their game.

That is pretty amazing. That looks like at least a 50mm under it if not a 60! Sweet

Hard to tell the detail without a matte coat, but the size and proportions seem good.

It is 2:30 PM here in Left Coast USA, it means people are still "working" since its Friday, if of course they haven't left early already.

10.30pm UK time, not too late for a bit of pre-ordering

Yeah, I've already ordered mine. Done it every year and have yet to be disappointed.

Gonna look at that asap. Might let someone get it for me, I'm pretty tapped after kickstarters... but maybe I can't wait either

I'd get it if I wasn't already drowning in Mantic minis.

Got over 1000 that need painting.

So from what it says, even if you follow the doom and gloom sayers and figure you'll get all MaA for kings of war and all steel warriors or marauder grunts for warpath, you still get a dreadball MvP and giant, combine those and you're well on your way to half the price anyway, plus whatever extras $35, looks like a fair bit of fun for what a box of tactical marines used to cost, so I think i'll have to get one

Would really like to get a Dreadball Mech so I can conscript him to the rebs Or a Jotunn, those are pretty spiffy.

Knowing my luck I'll get Barricade or Dozer, the 2 giants I don't need duplicates of.
