Opted against buying anything in the sale this time. I should feel less guilty now backing the next Deadzone ks.

So I got my forge guard in the mail today ( i got them from the starter set they had on the website back in August or so) and they did not come with bases. Anyone else have this problem? I assume they were supposed to come with bases, but I hate to assume anything.

I think the kickstarter ones had the bases arrive in the previous wave.

I imagine that mantic might have screwed up and not included them for people who had the almost-kickstarter of the website preorders.

Best filling out the missing parts form.

GOOD JOB MANTIC.
I pointed out that the conversation rate was effed (double the price in some instances), so what Mantic did was "fix" the ones that were "correct" by making them also double priced.

Doug Craig - No. It is inconsistent within the sale. Both Starship Tile Pack and Hellfire & Stone are £4.99; Starship Tile Pack shows at $7.99 and Hellfire & Stone at $9.99.

Mantic Games - Fixed that

Doug Craig - ... so you raised the price of the starship tilepack instead of fixing the Hellfire and Stone cost. okay...

That's not sexy!

Thanks for the 'help' there Doug!

Mantic has suggested the DZ final shipments have started going out, right? Has anyone received Peacekeeper goodness? I hear all this news about Forgefathers and plastic Enforcers arriving, but news on Peacekeepers has been strangely quiet. Where are they?! *Bale voice*




...please don't bane me

Mine were missing bases too. Fortunately I had enough spares, I'm not sure if they sent the bases with the August collection or not, but I had enough.

They sent them with the earlier shipment.

Yup, Deadzone Wave 3 is shipping. Someone on one of the Deadzone FB posted up their extra plastic Forge Guard for sale.

@alpharius I know right? I was prepared to actually order some stuff but when they bumped up the price, I decided not to. *facepalm*

Thanks, I didn't remember getting them, but I don't remember alot of things. I won't bother them now.

Wut? Every single purchase I've made from the Mantic webstore, including the Xmas crazy boxes I just got, has been in UK£

Are you sure you're clicking the right button?

Ah, you're right. I was misremembering. They just refuse to give RoW customers free shipping if paying in pounds. (To get it you must pay in US$). So for me, the point still stands - no point in buying anything from them directly.

Anyone heard anything more concrete on the 2nd Deadzone KS yet?

Last I heard is was pushed to January. Well, we're nearly in January...

Not sure. Was it January or "early 2015"? We know they're planning to push out 2 pledge managers any time now for DKQ and KoW, so it would be sadly typical for Mantic to push out a new KS at the same time they push out a pledge manager or two.

The blog post that announced the change just said early 2015. I'd be surprised if it is January with DBX wave 2 and 2 PMs to do (plus DZ wave 3 to finish) but they need to get it out early enough to deliver before the Warpath KS which could be year end as they will want any hard plastic troops finished before then.

See, I thought it was a generic "early 2015" too, but last time it came up a number of Dakka members were adamant it was January.

That's also wrong, I get free shipping (when I reach the 35 gbp threshold) every time

How have I gotten free shipping then if the Mantic faq says I can't?

As far as I can recall KoW2 was originally planned to be January as it was to be a mini KS but swapped places with DZ Infestation at people's request as it was so close to Christmas so I guess the assumption is/was that DZ would be January instead but that changed to latter part of the planned KS window (for early 2015) in the blog post.

I'd assume they would time it towards the end of January, start of February so people who blow all their monies in December can afford to back.

They could do another one of those 35 day ones, where it starts at the end of January, goes through February, and wraps up the first weekend or so in March, thereby giving everyone plenty of paydays to save up with.

If they send out those PMs for both Dungeon Saga and Kings of War early in January, that might work out.

I do agree that no matter what, it seems we'll have the usual situation of multiple Mantic campaigns all competing for the same money.

I'm not sure they'll do a really long kickstarter again due to the boring middle bit and the way Mars Attacks went backwards.

There were a couple of things that helped push MA backwards beyond the length... but it certainly didn't help in that case.

Should probably sort out the missing bits from MA KS first before starting another......

Got my shipment yesterday, so I suppose I was done with the DZ KS in 2014 since every sprue was accounted for. Are we still needing pictures of something?

No missing bits in my dbx shipment, first time that has happened with a delivery.

DZI will be an interesting one, rewriting large chunks of the rules currently and hoping some of the changes make it through.

I have my own set of rule updates, but obviously no direct line to Jake. Feel free to look and copy anything, maybe you'll find something useful.

Cool rules

Well this may not be Mantic, but since they ran the KS for LOKA



and hopefully river horse have got a better handle on the 'approvals' they'll need after the somewhat rocky road Alien v Predator from Prodos is taking at the moment

(edit: info from BoW facebook)

Does anyone else smell inexpensive, new Necrons?

Looks intriguing! Also interesting to note that Alessio Cavatore is the designer, company is 'River Horse' which I think do design for a bunch of different companies.

Here is the link to the BoW news item

http://www.beastsofwar.com/the-terminator/terminator-genisys-miniatures-game-coming/

If it's terminator, could be some useful modern/post-apoc humans in the mix as well right?

Riverhorse as an entity itself is still relatively small right? We're fairly sure this will be a kickstarter then? I wonder if it will be more like Loka (where Mantic basically ran it for/with him) or that Tarot of whatsit game (where they just plugged for riverhorse a lot but didn't have hands on).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
So just watched the trailer, while there are future robot-human war elements, it seems a lot like a rehash of the first couple of movies with some stuff flopped around and changed. Doesn't mean that the miniatures game couldn't focus on the (seemingly) smaller portion of the film that would be more likely to involve mass-combat with lots of robots (and those sweet-action flyers). Seems more likely to me really... as you barely need the miniatures part if you're just going to have the t1000 chasing around 2-3 other minis
