My mistake on dredd. I knew it was too high is all.

Tiger corps is 10 models, 5 named tiger corps heroes, corax, and 4 bounty hunters. Or something close. Some of the better detail retaining sculpts of the whole release.

Best I can do on math between bones 3packs and MA is 10 3packs vs 3 Ma 10-man sets... ~49 at MM for the 30 bones minis you mention, 60 for 39 MA figures.

Bones is about 16-17% cheaper in that case.

Its personal taste a bit I do feel that tiger corps poop all over something like IMEF, and they scale better with my other models.

Yeah, Tiger Corps are not really the ones I'm complaining about, outside of the fact that the PM price was the same as the retail price. Those are probably the best minis out of the whole Mars Attacks KS. However, 5 Stealth Martians/Martian Marines/elites for $20 is a bit ridiculous, though, especially since the Martians seem to be the weakest casts. The bugs are even worse, selling for a price comparable to a Bones dragon. A Bones mini of the same size and complexity would be half the price or less.

Submit it now. Everything shipped already.

I'm just glad I kickstarted Mars Attacks, getting most of the expensive stuff for free or dirt cheap. With the credit system, I basically spent $125 on DZ terrain (which I was going to get anyway) and then got 68 MA minis (base game + bonus minis) for $15. The value on that one was extremely good.

In other news, dbx teams should be getting dbx rules as a download soon. Can't wait to use my Brokkrs!

That was a pretty nice way to go about your MA pledge ; p

In the process of cleaning my DBX teams, looking forward to playing them too!

Apparently Mantic haven't contacted a guy who pledged $700+ for a Design Your Own Figure reward level in the DBX kickstarter, and haven't responded to anything he's sent them. I mean that ended nearly a year ago and has already had two waves of product shipped out. What's going on there, eh?

He could page Ronnie on Facebook. That's kind of the nuclear option, but he responds well on the CZ Facebook.

well they may be waiting for him to contact them?

There seem to be plenty of people who back KS and then forget to fill out the pledge manager (or can't fill it out as they don't have net access for one reason or another)

or

they may not be getting emails from him for whatever reason (eg his email address or whole ISP ended up blacklisted by mantic or their ISP) and he's made no real effort to get in contact by other means as Pretre says Mantic (and Ronnie) do respond on facebook, or via phone or letter

or

there has been contact, but the character the backer wants is one they can't do for one reason or another (IP, taste and decency etc) and there's a behind the scenes deadlock

or

something else

I heard the telephone was invented a few years ago...

I'm still waiting on my missing Forgefather sprue but they did message me last month to say they are sending one. I did get a replacement model for the one that was missing an arm from the DBX boxed set.

I've been trying to get in touch with Mantic about this for about two months. Best I've managed is two replies saying "hey, we'll get to you soon" followed by radio silence. Cool to see them getting so much new stuff out while they can't manage existing orders.

And while Titan Forge came out of the gate with a bad reputation, Mantic is just too established to be this hard to reach. Reaper's busier but manages to keep in touch pretty much 90% of the time.

My deadzone order went missing due to some kind of error. I think I wound up getting my stuff about 2 months late due to things being out of stock by the time they realized the error.

They did eventually get it all out to me but I never had this problem getting in touch with them though so I can't say much about that...

I always had decent comms. Missing stuff turnaround seems to be getting better too, I got DBX replacements within a week, and with a dispatch notice, too.

Some people are really clumsy with this stuff, too. It's not all on Mantic.

If you want to ping them for me I'd appreciate it I don't even have broken stuff -- just not enough stuff.

Submit the missing parts form.

Well, they sent me my missing mvp's/free agents bag and a replacement roster pad, alright - along with a second, identical mvp/agents bag, and two 'frenzy team' bags; I now have 12 limited frenzy dice and double maxed out teams of rebs, sphyr, brokkr, and hobgoblins that I never ordered.
Oh Mantic... you never cease to amuse me.

Well, if you wanna sell any of those extra maxed out teams for cheap, let me know

Bleh, still waiting on a response to the missing parts form I sent in October last year.. the annoying thing is, I also asked in the form if I could purchase a few extra things and I'm sure when they get back to me in the summer, they'll be all like "Oh, yeah, well you could have done if only you asked us sooner. We ran out of those in December 2014!"

Starting the build up to Infestation

Deadzone Kicks-off in March

In March we are going to be unveiling the secrets behind Exham IV and the infestation that has blighted the planet…



We'll be holding a week on the Mantic Blog starting on Monday 16th March, dedicated to Deadzone. This will include the launch of the new community website.

To get you in the mood you can exclusively download The Hunt by Michael Grey for free. This Deadzone short story is part of our Containment Protocols compilation or Digital Compendium available through Mantic Digital. Give it a read and keep an eye out for Deadzone Week starting 16th March! *Squeek*

Oh...poop.

And awesome.

Hopefully there's a low buy-in for this one, or a not-flying-rodenet-turd crazy 'get it all' pledge.

Oh oh. Wallet go by by.

I'm hoping it will include a revised rulebook that will include the Psi and other stuff.. Still not happy with how that worked out.
It's likely I'll back it for odds and ends. I know it's a precursor to Warpath but too much foreplay just leads to sore feelings.

Can't wait! Need some plastic pathfinders!

Yeah, plastic pathfinders. Do Want.

A smattering of any new hard plastic they introduce, and any rules. I'm not looking to back big like original DZ.

I'm waiting for someone to tell me that I, of all people, don't need any more models within the Enforcer faction.

I was hoping they would do a build up in March and Launch in April but BoLS have an exclusive up saying it launches in March to many KS in March!

Manticgames is launching their Deadzone: Infestation Kickstarter in March

So if I had to guess launch on the 20th of March at the end of the DZ blog week (27th at the latest) Mantic like to launch at 1PM on a Friday.

Dude, you don't need more enforcers.

Rats.

Always need more rats.

Would have preferred to get those rats launched in April, with things ending in May (so as to maximize paycheck availability).

Worst case we'll have a pledge manager to play with, so I won't be too sad if I can't grab everything I want first time around.

But honestly? There are WAY too many interesting KS this month.

My brains gone funny. What Kickstarters do we have coming in march?

Sweet the only things on that list I have remote interest in are DZ2.0 and Warpath if it happens. Good deal!

I *really* hope the Warpath tanks end up having a unique/harder scifi/higher tech aesthetic or a certain Russian company is going to be getting a bulk order from me instead. I really hope they drop the whole look-like-gw-sponsons-are-a-thing-in-the-future approach. Just thinking on the 2.0 rules that's all. With any luck that gets thrown out along with classifying and statting the new biggie-sized Striders as something a bit more tank-like and not as overpriced weaker-than-peacekeeper units what with a bigger gun.

Well, this makes it easier to resist WWX2!
