How the hell is this gals foot touching the ground flat footed?



I'm worried about the big things in restic. If the Marauder gun track is any indication, we are in for soft detail and bad mold lines. That is really going to distract from what should be a center piece for an army.

The Enforcer Infiltrator bike and Goblin Stuntbot, as definitively shown on the survey form, will be cast in really real resin.

So I'm wrong again. But those two are my favorites of the light vehicles, so hooray for everything!

She's extending her leg. If you notice, she's leaning onto her right leg that is on the ground and her left leg is bent. She's also at an angle on the seat pointed down to the right side.

I would rather a higher price and a higher quality. 2 soft detailed lumps of mold line covered restic is not better than one nicely cast resin in my opinion.

Did they get the two survivor pics mixed up?

Anyone know if the two free compendiums are additive? I.e. if I pledge +$750, do I get a free hardback and a free softback?

Yeah, that's what I meant... 6 striders.... So many models.... So many....

Her right leg has to be a lot longer than her left. The left is not bent much and that bike is straight up.

I'll say again that I like my DZ big mechs, and they're fairly large.

@CptJake hmm... good question. The seat is actually lower than it looks perhaps? It's a digital sculpt it seems like it would be difficult to get two different leg lengths if they checked... at all.

The stuntbot and IA are in resin? Excellent, guess I'll get one each then as well.

Question dakka, based on the wording about missing bits survey and so on, do you think I should go ahead and submit the missing bits survey for my entire order, even though I've already been in contact with mantic about it and had responses? The wording makes me think that maybe I should, though I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be planning on sorting my order before the missing pieces survey responses got filled. Thoughts?

The Dreadball PVC Big Mech turned out fine no issues with soft details or mold lines on either of mine. I wasn't going to order any striders but at 2 for $20 I'll get a set.

I wasn't going to get any Striders either, but 2 for $20 is hard to pass up. I'm going to be in some serious trouble with the wife.

So...zombies. Sign me up! I'm sold on em. Lol. Looking forward to seeing the enforcer peacekeepers too. Thanks for the pics guys!

Yup got a dreadball big mech with my Xmas box,no problems with it at all. It would be daft to pass on these at that price.

Is that confirmed/really going to happen/not going to change later, unannounced?

Because if so, I'll get a few extra...

Submit it via the form to make sure you are covered.


As for the bike, the right foot looks over sized compared to the smaller though closer (to the viewer) left foot. Something is very off about that.

Okay, I'm looking at another $350 here... ow.

A thought occurs:

Plague zombies with guns = 3rd gens. The sculpts are better too, none of that stretched torso thing going on.

Warpath Plague army suddenly looks very tempting... $45 for 80 zombies gets you the bulk of the army!

That's the wording on the Survey Alpharius

Light Support Vehicles are a great way to expand your force in bigger games, allowing your faction to hit hard and fast where it's needed most! These are supplied in premium resin unless marked with a *

* 2 Corporation/Plague/Rebs Striders- $20
Plastic Figure with options to build 3 variants.

@SS it depends on how you parse out your zombie models! The zombie units go through a lot of bodies without a whole lot of cost IIRC, but if you take the weaponized zombies and combine them with the 3rd gens... yeah woohoo. $45 add-on to my current pledge to have another warpath army is a pretty easy pill to swallow

Mantic let me know I was sorted, shortly after I sent the form to cover my butt anyway

Thanks Dave - I guess I'll roll the dice on them.

This:

* 2 Corporation/Plague/Rebs Striders- $20
Plastic Figure with options to build 3 variants.

Makes me nervous though, as we know those things aren't 'plastic' in the sense that everyone NORMALLY uses that word.

Don't forget, we have until the end of March to complete the Survey, but the end of June to pay for it!

Are plague zombies different than 3As?

Yeah, Plague Zombies are like Stage 4, if I understand correctly.

@ GrimDork - We've got you covered. If we already know about it, there's no need for anyone to tell us again

(Regarding Enforcer Sprues)@ Daniel - I believe 2 but that will need confirming.

@ Luke - All existing orders for Strider will get 2, all new orders for Striders will get 2

@ Leonardo - no, it was just a reminder of what you're already getting

(Regarding how many sprues in the Scenery Expansion Bundle) @ DaveC - And fixed! 4 Sprues and 1 Connector sprue.

Sent in a tentative survey, will wait till it comes in to report how much I may be spending on survey 2. Too lazy to do the math for myself

I preferred the original Asterian Cypher concepts.

For anyone curious... here's a 1200 point Warpath army you can make using just the Plague starter + $45 of Plague zombies. (and the 5 free you get anyway).

+++ New Roster (1200pts) +++ Selections: + Solid Units + (420pts) * Plague Troopers Section (150pts) 1x Cleaver (15pts) (Crushing Strength (4)), Assault Rifle, Light Machine Gun (15pts) * Plague Troopers Section (135pts) 1x Cleaver (15pts) (Crushing Strength (4)), Assault Rifle * Plague Troopers Section (135pts) 1x Cleaver (15pts) (Crushing Strength (4)), Assault Rifle + Units + (705pts) * 2nd Gen Mutants (3) (105pts) (Bulky, Crushing Strength (3)) * Plague Zombies (30) (300pts) (Brainless) * Plague Zombies (30) (300pts) (Brainless) + Heroes / Monsters + (75pts) * 1st Gen Plague Mutant (75pts) (Crushing Strength (4), Inspiring)
Created with BattleScribe

Take 85 zombies, build 25 with guns as 3rd gens and you're sorted.

There's even 2 dogs left over at the end of it!

Even by Mantic standards, throwing in an extra $45 to end up with a full army with nearly 100 models is an absolute bargain.

And there's the Plague Striders as well, which are a steal at 2 for $20 if you want to round it out.

I was actually going to ask this.
Are plague zombies different than 3As?

Yep, but no-one is going to mind if you use a bunch of zombies with guns as the 3A's instead.. you could even stick to the armoured military torsos and legs for the 3As if you wanted.

Hm the female enforcer looks nice, but would love to see more shots, only comment I can possibly give is the chest armour seems to need a bit more consideration of the female form, NO that does not mean boob armour, it means that it feels at least from this angle as wider than it should be.

Not sure if the same stands for the neck....

So they're tooling those striders the way they are due to overwhelming demand.

Does that mean they'd consider switching some of these new figures to a different material if there's enough interest?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It's probably too late,

they've had to commit to stuff with the factory by now (which is why they know they can do a special deal on the striders)

so it will all be as described (unless they run out then hello metal again)

Don't give them any ideas!

I don't have any interest in building a Warpath army at the moment (or should I say, not enough marital latitude to do so?), but that is a very good deal Squig's describing. For me, it's looking like I'll have my 3rd gen problem (namely, I can't stand most of them) sorted with one zombie sprue. They should go nicely with my Chaos cultists.

Only thing is the sprue contains a couple of guns, but no guns with arms and hands attached. So it's either lego weapon hands or weapon hand swaps for those who want zombies as 3rd gens.

Especially if you added ANY (real) Plastic Zombies in Survey 1 - any you add now count towards getting the 'deal', so, yeah, this one is kind of an easy decision!
