I'm going to guess that the work with IDW on MA! might lead to another license with them...

Ghostbusters.

Any news if it was going to be turn based xcom type affair, a shooter etc?

I would love a decent rpg set in the warpath universe or mantica.

I'm very impressed. Mantic seem to have produced a lot of decent stuff, and it seems to have a unified comic book style without being whacky for the most part. I'm not sure if they'll come out fantastic in restic, but definitely looking better overall than the recent Deadzone and KoW items.

They don't need another IP.

I've love the enforcers since they were previewed, and bought tons of them - poor casting quality and cut corners making the weapons sprues meant I ditched the lot and waited for plastics. As much as I want to go in and get stacks of enforcers, I don't want to be sat here twiddling my thumbs waiting for them to release the rest of the army because there busy with the new kickstarter for the new IP

I still have hopes that since Mars Attacks sounds like it will do well once released, we will see it's actual successor, Dinosaurs Attack!

Hell, IDW has been publishing a comic of it these days too.

Plastic crazy looking dinosaurs? I'd be all over it!

Dz video game could be cool. Guess I've got to save money for gencon AND wp3.0 now..

Looking forward to my next mantic ks feeling like im getting withdrawal symptoms.

At least I'll soon be getting my pallet of zombies to paint, im hoping a new dz update will show them off better soon.

There's a DBX update coming soon

Sorry all, but we're going to be pushing it back to tomorrow. There were still some mistakes in there that we caught last night (we intended it to go yesterday) and we've just run out of time.

If this is a type of Xcom type game, then colour me excited.

Grimdork recommended I like this magnatising Deadzone terrain video here

Hope its useful

I wasn't sure if anyone else had come up with anything definitive. Its a somewhat limited method but its really simple and looks like a great aid for walkways and barricades being added to roofs and the like.

That's a useful tutorial, thanks Carlos and Grim.

XCom Warpath, hello beautiful.

Heavy Enforcers with shields look bad-ass!

I do like the uni-wheel concpet

female enforcers, the one thing SM were not to ever see for some reason.

Checked the Mantic forum for info on what's in the (£15, $US25) Mantic box, there were two lists of contents:

1.
Sprue of Dwarf Kings Hold Elves,
a Forgefather tracked gun-thing,
3 trolls,
clippers,
green paint,
some zee's,
some rebs and a
loka air pawn

2.
Sprue of DKH Elves
Marauder Grunt command sprue
10 Corporation Rangers
2 Humans and Yndij for Deadzone
2 Dreadball Z'zor
Loka Ice Rook
10 Basilean sisterhood panther lancers
Clippers
Silver paint

Really hope they're randomised better this time. I may have got more than one box... I was looking at getting some new clippers and SS vouching for the Mantic ones works for me. The DKH elves... anyone seen them? Good quality? Plastic? Multi pose?

Dkh elves=kow elves. Quality is great, style is a matter of taste

Did anyone else catch this Open Day preview image of a Crystallan Guard on the Gmorts Chaotica blog? http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/



If I remember correctly, the Crystallan team are being sculpted by the same guy who's done all the Teratons for Mantic. In other words, by a really talented sculptor. The photo of a monitor screen above isn't very clear, but the model seems to have stockier proportions than the concept art (but keep in mind that the Guard has a bigger chunky rock to crystal ratio than the Striker and Jack models), and to feature a much larger "heroic" scale rock claw.

Just thought I'd point this out since the Open Day debut of the first Crystallan sculpt seems to have passed under most people's radar. I was so bamboozled by the tidal wave of new model pictures that I didn't even realize what this was until this morning.

I was partial to the less stocky concept art, and the Crystallen is by far the model I like the least of what we've seen here I think. Shame, I was really looking forward to them. Hopefully it's just the weird paint job it has which doesn't do it for me. That frosting is weird.

That's... really odd looking . I hope it's a very early WIP

Whoot? A KoW Skirmish game? Will it be on Kickstarter? If yes when?

I don't think it is painted. I think the sculptor is using a blend of highly textured greenstuff or milliput (the textured surface reflecting more light in this case, making the "frosting" effect in this photo) and flesh colored fimo.

It doesn't look good, at all.

And if it is supposed to be based off of that concept art?

Ouch.

Yeah, not keen on that sculpt, looks nothing like the concept art.

No hard sharp crystals, it's kinda blobby.

Think I'll make my season 5 pick Rebs based on what we've seen so far.. they even have a pony!

One bonus of the pledge manager being late is that we've now gotten some renders of all of the teams to see before making our free DBX team choices.

Koris for me for season 6, although the Ada-Lorana turned out really well too, so I might change my mind and go for them since they don't need to be painted.

Wow... I thought that thing was a Plague monster, didn't realize it was supposed to be Crystal..

Assuming it's not a very early WIP the fact that it's by somebody who got so close to the art for the Terratons makes it all the worse

unless Mantic have stepped in with 'new unseen' concept art like they did with the Trolls

(which I liked but not many others did)

My first thoughts were some sort of Sphyr or possibly the nameless bloodsucker.

Looks a lot like the BtGoA Boromites.

Oh, and it turns out there is no "new external IP game" being developed or in existence at all, false rumour.

KoW 2.0 KS on hold.. fantasy skirmish thing won't be for a very long time either.

Which just leaves DKH in July and Warpath in Q4 (unless they change their minds again).

Whuh? That's a rather different schedule from what seemed to be the case over the weekend. So you're sayig the KS for all those fantasy sculpts we've just seen is right around the corner? Is there an approx. (wave 1) delivery date scheduled?

DKH KS will be $95 sweet spot pledge, end of July launch, no idea on shipping date, could be this Xmas if we're lucky. There's more info in the fantasy thread, but in short, KS version of the game will include resin versions of the heroes and other stuff.. it is aimed squarely as a new heroquest type game, co-op vs. AI deck confirmed, along with 1 vs 1-4 game mode and a supplement book with rules for every single model in all of the KoW army lists, and software for designing campaigns. Characters can level up between dungeon instances, buy new gear with their loot, etc. It is going to be a very simple basic game with a whole ton of expansion added to make it into a definitive open-ended dungeon crawler.

Thanks. Xmas shipping would be good but mighty close to KS end in that case. Ah well, wait and see

If they do all the resin casting for it in house it'll save months compared to the process of getting them done and shipped from China.

Everything about this new DKH seems to ring true to what Myth was wanting to be.

At least we can count on Mantic to get us our goodies in a reasonable amount of time, without shafting the rest of the world in the process.
