Anyone else notice that the guy standing to the right is a new figure? He has a neutral stance and a pistol. I'd say maybe he was made from parts from the regular Enforcers kits, but those kits don't have legs in that stance, plus he'd have a wrist blade, so I'm betting we may be seeing this guy in a future stretch goal.

Yeah I was wondering if hes new, his legs are thicker than the current Warpath Enforcers, more in line with the Deadzone version, plus his right hand has a small piece of kit on it (notice the cable?), could be a power-fist type weapon.

Oh and I forgot to add this in my last update, new add-ons:





Would love to see some Teratons with combat/riot shields and pistol shotguns.

I did a bit of maths earlier... The Games workshop building kits are 3" by 2" - So, for sizes, 2 of the Deadzone squares are the same as 4 of the GW panels.

Some of the pics make them seem fairly small, but that's a pretty good size.

Updated Rebs image - has to be my favourite faction just for the variety

Ah.. I love 'Happy Feet' he is so adorable.

Liking the look of the guy at the back, I'm really impressed with the Rebs, if only GW took the same approach with the Tau and actually emphasized the idea of a multi species army rather than shunning it aside.

Also female aliens please Mantic.

Ugh I hope not, but in all seriouness it would be great if they could design some female aliens who aren't just human girls with green skin, but had distinct feminine features in a "different" way.

Don't ask me how to design that, I wouldn't know where to start.

I guess the female terraton he's refering to is the one in the new updated picture for the rebel faction and not the terraton brawler

No inside info this time, other then having seen the brawler before most folks.

But seriously, its an alien lifeform of non-mamalian origin.. its race's females shouldn't have breasts.

I would like to see Mantic post up some pictures of exactly how much terrain we could build from the standard kit. As it is I am having a really hard time visualizing exactly what it contains. It seems odd that they are listing the amount of stuff in terms of sprues rather than buildings, guess it will all become clear in the end...

Oh, and a shout out to Scarletsquig for keeping the first post so neat and tidy, much appreciated mate!

Dear lord. Some one gets it!!! Boobs are not only exclusive to mammals, but "tits" ALSO do not look like "human boobs" on most mammals.

So the people complaining about wanting females, just say what you really want.......boobs. You aren't fooling anybody but yourself and the people you are in league with. And this isn't just the dudes. Gals are often the worst offenders.

I'm glad the Teraton is female. I was pointing out in the KS comments that most "Alien" females won't look like "females". They'll probably just look different from THEIR males. Just like Elk, Lions, and Peacocks.

How do you know they're female? Did you, uh, go into the Deadzone and lift their skirts?




Sorry, just saw Jurassic Park in 3D, it was required.

Aren't you too totalitarian and absolute in your ideas of what people really want?

Personally I did not comment on alien females but human females and I am quite happy if they keep the Halo approach (try to figure who is the female spartan with helmet on) I just found idiotic in a sci fi setting to not have mixed gender forces and find the "all male special task force" too stuck in the past and GWesque.

Is the teratron male or female? I wouldn't know without some background and paint, reptiles tend to be roughly the same maybe the males have some brighter colour spots ectr, I do not know, it is an interesting point for mantic to develop in the background.

They are still in discussions when the factory as to how much they can squeeze into each sprue which is why they only refer to sprues rather then building count. Sounds like discussions should be finished by next week and hopefully they will then be able to provide more information / pictures.

Though, you can guesstimate it as.

At the moment, we're talking (up to) 6 3" by 3" tiles per sprue.

This is roughly equivalent to 24 Games Workshop panels

However, one thing to remember is that the Deadzone tiles can be used for the roofs as well, whereas GW ones have separate pieces for that.

When i first saw the kickstarter I have to admit i was a tiny bit put off by the price. I know intellectually that its a great deal, but even so... It makes me hesitant.


Still. Lots of time left =)

Damn, was gonna wait on this one and see how much free stuff was coming, but decided to jump in anyways. Thankfully this'll end on a different pay period than the Robotech KS, or I'd REALLY be in trouble. Hardly the first time I've lived off hot dogs and ramen.

Originally it was just the enforcers I was really looking at, but those rebels are getting cooler and cooler and cooler. Totally digging the mixed races thing they got going, I really hope they run wild and go super over the top with the idea and just completely Farscape up the faction! OOOH! they need a not-John Crichton KS exclusive model!

I've got a good way the Terratons' gender can be told apart. Give the males feathers. kind of like how the Skirmishers in Halo have them. I think that would actually be kind of cool.

if this terraton is female, hopefully they make the male variant noticeably different. If not, I wonder what's the point of calling it a female or a male. A head crest, like male yemen chameleon have would be great imo.

Quick question for those in the know, are the mpdels supposed to be generic , or are they all named characters. I think it's the former, but just want to be sure, as if it's the later, it would seriously make be consider unpledging.

thanks

To clarify, if I just want, say, the big mutant, the sniper and Mr. Arms-from-my-Head, I can just get them and not the whole game?

I hate weekends on Kickstarter.

Nothing much happens.

Extra sprues are nice (and most likely necessary) but I love seeing what new figures they're going to unveil.

I hope once they've got the rules up we get a good idea of how many figures we might be needing. Then again who knows how many extra ones we'll end up with by the end of the kickstarter....

Yes, add $5 to cover shipping, then just pledge for the add-ons you want.

The thread is starting to degenerate .. who was it who made the alien females comment, and is it possible to suggest that you are banned from Dakka for life?

Going on your country flag, Isn't it possible to play this entire game and set up a board full of terrain for like the price of a single box of tactical marines from GW?!

I haven't heard anything one way or the other but I would presume the former.

But I have to ask why you'd be unpledging if Mantic have named the models?
