Just got my prototype assault weapons, they're pretty good. Planning to use the tracked weapons with the weapon upgrade sprue with space marines as a thunderfire cannon, I think that will be the best fit.

Hi Guys

We will have ALL the kickstarter plastics at PDC next week (I brought a suitcase full of samples back with me!?)

Tools will then transfer by slooow boat and we'll have Winchester, UK manufacturing up by the end of October --- Huzzah!

It was discussed earlier in the thread viz using the tracked platform with guard - please see the pic of my quick cut'n'shut effort to do a "proof of concept" -- waddayay think?

ps - webstore opens on Monday -- see www.pdcgaming.co.uk for a preview

"Do you have a larger pic" is what I think.

All UK orders have shipped for this KS, looking forward to getting my sprues any day now.

Anyone got theirs already?

Their webstore is now open, too:

http://www.pdcgaming.co.uk/shop-

Looks like we got a pretty great deal during the kickstarter, I got £40 of sprues for £10.

Looking forward to trying out the mini-tank build for the weapon platform.

My Bases have just turned up,

I now have more bases than I can shake a stick at, the detail is lovely and crisp, really looking forward to getting some models on them!

Got my stuff too, here's some pics:





Really, really happy with this... loads of weapon options and perfect for Warpath.

The detail on them is just as good as any Renedra sprue, top-notch tooling.

My only regret with this Kickstarter is not being able to spend 5 times as much cash at the time.

looking sharp! cant wait for my stuff to get here

I'm really looking forward to this! Did you get any other sprues?

Excellent. Maybe Ronnie should go talk very nicely to these guys...

Why? Why do you want PDC games to do unspeakable things we can never know to Ronnie's great sculpts?


I'm very excited for PDC's future. I do wish the prices in their online store were a bit more reasonable.

@Azazel: Well, these already are the artillery entries for the Corporation and Rebs army lists as far as I'm concerned (and Marauders too). All of the weapon options, and then some are covered, and it's all hot-swappable. Lovely.

The mini-tank build is also really cool, it's chunky enough to use as a forgefather or goblin vehicle.

@Valhallan: Nope, just a bunch of those pictured, but from what I've heard all the rest of it is just as good.

I'm amazed at the sheer quantity of stuff they got tooled for £11k of KS funding:

- assault weapon sprue
- heavy weapon sprue
- urban bases sprue
- tracked vehicle sprue
- tracked vehicle accessories sprue

..and it's all really good quality. And they tooled, manufactured and shipped it all in the space of 3 months. In their spare time.

Really, really impressed. If PDC does another KS, can we all please throw a gakload of money at it to see what happens?

These came out really nice it seems. Makes me a little sad I didn't kickstart this but I think I'll be putting in an order

Got my order: 3 mini tanks, 2 upgrade sprues, 2 packs of bases and 1 assault rifle sprue. Fantastic value and quality.

I've yet to assemble anything, but my only concern is after looking at the upgrade sprue that there doesn't appear to be a camera style piece for the front plate of the tank. (The upgrade sprue adds a mount for a gun) yet it looks like there's a version of a camera on the kickstarter page. It is entirely possible I've missed it on the sprue!

Overall though a 9/10 project and company. Very excited to see what else PDC gaming can do in the future.

Looking really cool, squig! Thanks for the pics . Can't wait to get my 3 tracked weapons.

Have they started shipping to the States yet?

Still waiting for mine to turn up, certainly hadn't arrived as of yesterday. Not a massive issue, provided that they turn up at some point.

Just got mine. Really well done imo.

Got mine today, really nice stuff. Ill do some sprue on the model pics later. I didn't realize how much I ordered

I got mine a couple days ago. The parts all look great, but I haven't assembled anything yet. I wish they'd packed in some instructions though. The ones on their website are tiny.

Glad you guys got them! I ended up collaborating with PDC to ship out their US/Canadian packages last week... and man, I am so sick of going to the post office now

I haven't assembled my own sprues yet, but the tracked weapons look really good I think!

Tracked weapons might be getting purchased by me here in a little bit. I really ilke the way they turned out.

They assemble very quickly and easily.

Still no sign of mine!

Mine came a few days ago. I assembled one of the tracked guns partway at work tonigh before deciding it made a great base for a Grot tank and will switch gears on it. They are about the perfect size to use a a TFC though.

I also have 10 heavy weapon sprues, no idea what I am going to do with those yet.

They seem to be having some real issues with the post office, that, frankly don't appear to be the post office's fault. Lots of people saying they had to pay RM an extra pound or two as the items were sent with insufficient postage, etc.

I'm wondering if that's perhaps why my stuff hasn't arrived yet, as my orders from Troll Trader, Book Depository and just random UK-based eBay sellers are still coming in comfortably in 5-10 days.

Nice review of the tracked weapons here:

Considering all the issues, including lots of packages getting lost entirely, I suspect PDC's local post office is at fault. It's not like PDC would "forget" to ship out a bunch of rewards seeing as they're replacing them (with recorded delivery this time). More likely the post office lost a whole outgoing bag or two at once. That kind of thing happens.

Losing a bag is possible, but the postage issue makes me wonder. I don't mean to imply that they're deliberately being dodgy and not sending stuff out - just that there may be a LOT of stuff with insufficient postage getting gummed up in the UK system because of it.

Forgot to exalt this thread so missed all the talkies, DOH! Yeah no parcel here yet either, latest update was amusing. We're not all crims just trying to get a second set of stuff free, I swear on me mum.

I don't know, there is that whole prisoners-sent-to-the-island thing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia

Still, from the comments it does look quite universal that folks in Australia didn't get theirs. Something obviously went wrong here...

I shipped the US/Canada packages for them and it seems those have gotten through, phew

I can't speak for PDC but until I did a Kickstarter I had no idea at all that there really isn't any good software for bulk shipping. I tried a bunch and finally settled on Stamps.com but out of all the ones I tried - USPS Click & Ship Business, Endicia, etc etc - they all totally blow in some ways. Stamps.com sucks the least, but it's not especially good either.

I did not know that just futzing with the software would eat anywhere near as many hours of my time as it did.
