Yupp. Not even a friggin update on the KS. You'd think they'd have learned by now that communication is somewhat important, but no.

They literally just sent out update 61

The TLDR is that all Commodores are now packed (285 still need to be shipped out) and they are on to late backers

And that later in the week they will send another update and let people know the plan for wave 2 stuff.

My friend got his Commodore today, no shipping notice.

Got my Commodore today, shipping notice last week. Very happy with my stuff, it's all there bar two small bases and the quality is outstanding. Love the rule book as well, very professional and slick. Only disappointment is the horribly flimsy paper-thin cardboard tokens.

And according to the update, my non-Commodore pledge was lost in the matrix. That figures.

Mostly because they made acrylic tokens that fit your armies main color, red green white and purple I believe. Think those comes in KS wave 2.

After how thin the DZC tokens were, I learned when they offered them in this one to grab em

Yupp - that was after I posted. Seen it, still nothing on the Wave 2 being released which they themself said would impact Pledge shipping.

Anyone gotten the space station set yet? I'd love to see it in the wild.

Gotten? No. Seen it at Spiel though, very impressive. It's gonna be huge!

Yes, I have it but haven't built it yet. It's... daunting, to say the least.

Ordered from FLGS on Monday. Said it might show up today so going to call in the afternoon and see.

The launch assets are meh. While I know its all to scale and having 3d models of it is just a luxury item tokens seem better. They are highly flimsy and realistically you want 2 packs of them. I already see them breaking after a few uses

My sentiments exactly! I gave mine to Wehrkind, will see if he does anything with it . But it is a briefcase of plastic all on its own, and by far the best looking sprues of the lot, imo!

Got a notification, but they totally mangled the Company Name on the delivery address.It's a long name, but cutting off on BOTH sides ? That's a new one.

Yes, from our temporal-sequential perspective, that is weird, but it makes sense if you consider Hawk Wargames' beginning-and-endpoint language of simultaneity. Unfortunately, a viewpoint outside of linear times that considers all effects and causes interchangeable does have its downside when it comes to shipping packages.

But isn't it more like a big ball of wibbily wobbly timey wimey...stuff ?

Let's stay on topic and avoid jokes-only posts, please. Thanks all

Saw the stuff today. Really nice. Those launch assets tho, they're stupid tiny.

Any word on actual gameplay? I skipped the KS due to funds, but it looks interesting.

Dave is big on things all being to real scale.

Lots of Demo games out there on youtube, and full game plays on beat of war.

Its a lot faster then Dropzone commander, and things are quite deadly. I can answer specific questions if you have them.

Rules are well done and its very fluid

I can't overstate how happy I am now that I've actually got my stuff. My annoyance was turned into wonder the minute I started assembling the ships. They are so. Damn. Cool! The designs are even more stunning in the flesh, they go together well and are quite a bit bigger than I expected as well. The rule book is also a highlight, lavishly produced with great photos and art, the rules are well written and often give me that "oh! That's clever" feeling, just like a good rule set should. The factions feel very different both fluff- and gameplay wise and everything seems well-thought out. I can see myself getting interested in this universe, taking it seriously in a way I never could with, say, Mantic. overall I feel incredible inspired to start playing this game now, whereas I was sort of mildly disinterested a week ago.

Look in Dakka Discussions, there's a thread there. Also check the DFC Facebook group which is great.

I am also excited to get our stuff finally. Though im still a bit reserved on how I feel about them currently. I cant forgive them for failing so hard with the KS, but I appreciate their work.

Will be curious to see how wave 2 is done as I am to get all the maps, acrylic tokens, and possibly other things.

Rulebook is good, I just wish it wasn't in the lay out it is. I know its homage to battle fleet gothis, its just a paint to use though during games as it takes up so much space.

Finally!! Today I got a shipping e-mail.

Cant wait!!

its Battlefleet Gothic with better shooting rules, faster gameplay and heavily objective based.
Andy Chambers wrote the rules and it looks very much like BFG 2.0.

Beasts of War have a lot of them, its the dropfleet bootcamp this weekend




Skip to 9 minutes or so to see the really, really big spacestation centerpiece they made.

There is also another thread for discussing the game which may be of interest:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/705514.page

It has quite a few elements in common with BFG and other space ship games but has its own unique elements such as the scan/signature mechanic, orbital layers.

The models are very good and easy to convert which is nice.

Does anyone know the proper channel to go through for getting a mispack (eventually) resolved? One of the pieces for my Atlantis battle cruiser is actually for the Avalon.

Aside from that, very impressed the quality of everything I received.

info@hawkwargames.com I believe. Its on their main site

But they are getting tooons of emails so I wouldn't expect a response instantly

well at least DPD works fast AND efficient - I've received a notice telling me they'll deliver tomorrow AND I was able to fix the messed up address, too - so there's just one issue left: I planned 2 games of 40k AND a visit to my parents this weekend. feth me.

Yeah I know they are swamped but I'm pretty patient. Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go.
