I got two GCPS teams, so I can do that with ease. Which were you planning on building? I still have the old restic guys, so I only built 2 mortar and missile launcher. I can send somebody my extras if needed. Which does include a set of arms. It won't have the legs though; just a heads up. Arms and weapons only. PM me if you need.

Were Blaine's included in pledges, or just as add ons.

Thankfully, I was planning mortar and HMG, so I'll only really be needing one pair of the gunner arms. Are the engineer bits supposed to be used in the HW teams, or are they separate profiles?

I want to say Blaine was included with the larger pledge levels.

PM me. I can help.
PMs have been sent to those looking for things. Also, can probably figure something out to loan the novel, if need be. After I finish it. I know somebody was asking about that...

They could have communicated this a bit better. Or a lot better. Or at all via proper updates, but Mantic, so...
So like in Update 77 when they said " These will be arriving this month and dispatched as soon as possible, although backers will likely receive these parcels in January. "? 
Just checked, and you're right. Looks like I missed that one, so it's on me. Automatically Appended Next Post: Nostromodamus wrote: lord_blackfang wrote:SeanDrake wrote:Just built the Enforcer jet that caused 10 pages of angst and drama earlier.

In fact it is a really well designed kit with a minamal amount of parts and which took about 5 minutes to build.
I'm sure someone will tell you you're still wrong
No doubt that certain someone will be along shortly
I think I'm getting that kit in my pledge. If it turns out to be fine once in hand, I'll gladly admit it.

I don't think it was a deep discount, but they were indeed cheaper than in the previous KS.

I have an extra Loren Chard as well. Blaine is spoken for by LM, and still have extra gunner bits too; sorry I'm listing in this thread, but people seem to have missed out on stuff they wanted and it's a hot-button thread. So hoping to help.

Anyone know where the gcps head with the peaked cap came from? I'm talking about the one showcased in the photo in the sourcebook in the gcps chapter subsection dealing with "the agency"
I have the military cover/hat heads from the heavy weapons teams, but no peaked cap.

If that's for me, thank you for the generous offer, but I plan to buy the novel directly from Mantic to demonstrate my support for such ventures. I haven't already bought it because I thought I might have one coming through the KS and because all my current spending money is locked up in Kingdom Death.
Is Chard plastic?

Can I just check re the GCPS heavy weapon team. You should have got 1 bag with a variety of weapon and arm components that allows you to make 2 teams by using them with the plastic GCPS minis. I've attached a picture of a team as an example to help. The reason I ask is some people thought they should get 2 bags of the upgrades.
Gonna be honest, I still think I should be getting two of the bags, because 1 bag isn't 2 heavy weapons teams, it's one team with enough options to dummy up a second as long as it has a different weapon.
e: Got it fixed anyway, with an extra set of weapons

Still scratching my head as to how we got a Warpath novel, but didn't get the Dungeon Saga adventure books, which there was a LOT more excitement over.
Got to say I really like the sourcebook. Cool having all that fluffy stuff in one convenient location.

They DID release a print edition of the Adventure books--at least the first one. I emailed them about when the second one will drop so I can buy as a bundle for shipping purposes, but they had no real answer other than other than not for a while.
Automatically Appended Next Post: If you would like to purchase, turn to page 1. Otherwise, turn to page 55.
Looks like it's about $15 shipped.

Is Chard plastic?
She is metal, and a single piece at that. Pretty good sculpt. I can't see any issues. And others are reporting the mini looks better than the drawing for her did.
And cool on the book; yeah, it was probably you I saw asking for it. Just wasn't sure.

The drawing of Chard was fine, what put people on edge was the first photos of a painted Chard taken by someone at an Open Day - through angled glass, fuzzy close up because it was a wide angle shot, and the paint job didn't seem dazzling, all contributed to make it look like a bit of a mung sculpt for a couple of months until we got her.

While I'm not a fan of their design aesthetics, those asterisks look from a technical perspective very well done/designed especially when compared with early Mantic offerings. I'm glad to see that they've improved so much.

Got 99% of mine. Only Asterian and Vermin Vehicles "missing".
Everything looks fine. But I obviously only spent like 10 minutes checking everything.
Was a long journey but stuff is finally here
I'm surprised how similar/exactly the same the two rulebooks are. Yes, of course they'll play differently, but looks and some of the rules are (almost) identical which surprised me.

They were like a year ago and then went through like six open betas and then they had a layout review for the community to check the layout and provide feedback (so no page xxx) and then it went to the printers and then it arrived and then it shipped and then it arrived and now we have them.
