"Yes" in the sense that we all generally want everything now "No" in the sense that the first draft was essentially a collection of ideas, none of which were individually bad IMO, but just didn't come together well (and there were exploits etc that would have had GW fans burning effigies of Matt Ward in the street, metaphorically speaking, if it had been 40k).

The second set feels like a game with only a couple of major decisions to be reviewed, then it can be tidied up and let loose.

Mwahahah! I have wave 3 goodies before all the other Australians.... And possibly before the rest of the world.... Maybe I am the factory owner in china.... Hmmm.

On another note, what do we think a head swap with these would be like?

It's their 'striker' head...

I think my wave 3 have just turned up, my wife says I have a package from Mantic and I don't recall ordering anything else.....

I keep an effigy of Matt Ward primed and ready to light as a general principle. I even got a sample of his hair, had to trade the last living squat in existence, but it was worth it for the added voodoo power. But I do see what you mean

Ronnie on facebook, apparently light delays in wave 3 shipments because we collectively ordered so many Peacekeepers that we burned through both the entire order they put in for backers, and the extras they added to the order as a just in case buffer.

So really, the delays are our your fault, everyone on Dakka but me

I went for the $150 strike team pledge, am I owed some plastic Enforcers or not? By now I am just confused.

Yeah I think you should get uhh five?

Strike team has just an Enforcer starter, right? So that's 2 sets.

Thought as much, as part of the original Enforcer faction starter. Could not blame Mantic if they have forgotten though. I do not envy Sara having to deal with all of those emails.

If I got a Forge Father starter and the booster bundle, how many of the inferno drills and how many sprues of plastic forge fathers should I have gotten?

Thanks

Jake

FF Starter: 6 x Brokkrs, 2 x Brokkrs with Muspell Rifle, 1 x Inferno Drill with Brokkr Engineer. Forge Father Faction Starter also includes 1 sprue of Hard Plastic Forge Guard.

FF BB: 2 Resin Plastic Boosters: 2 x Valkyrs, 2 x Chief Brokkrs, 2 x Brokkr Engineers with Frag-Ramms. 1 Resin Plastic Inferno Drill with Brokkr Engineer. 1 Hard Plastic Sprue: 1 x Forge Guard Huscarl, 5 x Forge Guard with weapon options.

So 2 Sprues and 2 Inferno Drills.

Thanks. Missing Items form time for me.

So, I'm trying to figure out how many plastic Enforcers I'm getting:
Had 2 starter Enforcer sets (used my free starter as Enforcers)
2 BOGO $50 boosters of Enforcers, plus I separately ordered 4 additional sprues. That should mean 8 sprues of Enforcers, right?

Then I think I got like 25 Peacekeepers in total.

I'm sure I'm in the last batch though, as they mentioned "complicated orders" being in this latest batch, and I made my order which included older stuff like the mechs, had to email Sarah about a mistake on my end that caused me to add on a ruins set after the survey was done, as well as adding those 4 sprues of previously mentioned Enforcers after the pics came out. So...I went complicated by doing a bunch after survey finale. Crap.

Same here!

Good news/bad news I guess?

At least I'm owed more of the stuff I like best, right?

2 per Starter (4)
2 per Booster Bundle (4)
4 additional sprues
= 12 total

Holy crap balls!! Sweet!

You sure it's two per starter? I was under the impression (granted, from ages back) that it was only one? Two would be fantastic, that's an extra billion for me! Which would be nice, because I really felt the faction starter sets were horrible in terms of value, especially because you basically got one (minus the additional troopers) with each order of the Enforcer booster bundle

I got 30 and i was assuming 20, but I can't verify the reason.

So do we think that with the various waves of shipping and missing items sent out that Mantic have beaten 10,000 parcels for the Deadzone Kickstarter? I would hate to pay that bill. Explains why they have increased shipping on recent Kickstarters.

Even though you can't confirm the reason, I'm quite excited by the notion that I'll likely be getting more sprues than I initially thought, thanks

I think I was counting 4 from double strike and a booster bundle, expecting 2 from the bundle and one from each strike team. So if the other report holds then I got 2 from each strike and 2 from the bundle. I guess?

I picked up my wave 3 box yesterday. 6.4 kilos, and a cursory glance shows far more sprues of stuff that I had anticipated. Hopefully I can find some time in the next couple of days to go through it all in detail.

I can confirm 10 per starter. They made a big deal out of it back when they switched them to hard plastic.

Well, that and the fact they still can't manage to pack a fething order with any level of competence. So they're sending out 1-3 parcels afterwards to get all of people's missing or incorrect bits out.

Thanks for confirming GrimDork and black_fang. For those guys (or gals) who ordered the Enforcer booster bundle, have you noticed that one of the two Defender's shotgun arm variants has damage on the top of the shoulder? I think I had 12 or more with damage in that same area, and am concerned that the damaged bits order is going to share the same fault

I would caution however, that they aren't a particularly good insight into the upcoming Warpath rules.

A fair point. Eilif has links to a ton of WP1 stuff, including superheavies and titans. (The EPIC/Armageddon-style ruleset).

And yes, wave three has shipped, if you haven't received your models yet we're starting a club. Barnacle111 didn't make the cut, the damn traitor already has his

According to the update they sent out, they hope to finish shipping W3 by Jan 16. But since they're not bothering with guff like shipping notifications (because screw you) it'll be February before any of us can really know if our stuff was sent, or was lost, or...?

I'd like to play this game too!

I got these from the second survey:
Strike Team with Forge Fathers $150
Enforcer and Forge Father Boosters Bundles $50
10 sets of Peacekeepers $100

Then these in the third:
Enforcer Troopers $10 4
Plague Zombies x 20 $15 2
Forge Father Faction Starter $35 1
Forge Father Forge Guard $10 4
Strider $10 6
Connector Sprue x 5 $10 1


So anyone want to take a guess as to how many sprues of FF/Enforcers/PK I should be getting?

Ugh, I was really hoping that my stuff had already shipped but with that Jan 16th shipping date you listed I'm worried it'll be another 3 weeks+, not to mention the 'finished by the 16th' thing is one of Mantic's tentative estimates. In their defence, I did add myself in at the last moment - actually got on board a bit after the KS closed, so I can't complain too much, they were very kind to let me on at all, and can understand why my shipping would be amongst the last (plus it was a big, complicated order)

I think their striker head is from their not-marine line, so I think they'll be a bit too big on the Enforcers unless you bulk their knees and shoulders up a little, but that's personal taste. Their guardsman line (called guardsman - under the trooper section) shares some design elements with the striker heads but will likely be much better scaled fit in my opinion.

I just got my 3rd wave box, so I'm about to find out

It goes without saying, then, that you are out of the no Mantic wave 3 goodies club. It's nothing personal, but the wound is still just too raw for me to deal with right now. Hand me your badge and jacket, your severance check is in my office

Ack, the form inside says I should have 5 Forge Guard sprues, and I do, except I should have gotten 6, and it correctly notes that I should have gotten 11 Enforcer sprues, and that 11 are in the box, but there are only 10.

I guess I had it coming, since I had no problems with MA, DBX and DZ wave 2 shipments
