Just assume there will be no Wave Two info.

You'll get a twofer - You get to be right, and you get to not worry about it.

what is this wave 2 you speak about? according to Kevin we got more then our moneys worth in the stuff delivered.

Hahahahaha
The last two posts are so sad and true at the same time...
It's a shame :(

I really want to have and play with the wave two miniatures

Well, I think you have a plan.
Most of the remaining models are possible to obtain one way or another.
If I depend on PB I would.... be waiting longer than I have now... which is longer than reasonable.... which may never happen.

yeah, at least for two units, but i'll be still missing light and heavy infantry, Glaug-Eldare, Nosgauma-Ger, etc...

And regarding the plan... I'm counting on you Talizvar!!

anybody ever tell Kevin that there is nothing for RRT assigned at Strategicon? he keeps spouting about it.

well technically there is a 7 hour total on Fri. of RRT but nothing near what Kevin is crowing about:


Event Group / Event Type # Players Experience Maturity Start Time / Duration Title

Fri 3:00 pm 2 hrs Robotech Tactics Demo Description Robotech Tactics GM: Allan Sylvia III

Description
Teaching new and old players of the Robotech Tactics Miniatures game, how to play the game casually, for tournaments, and how to use new and old techniques and tactics to overcome your opponents.

(hmm according to the schedule much better events to check out)

Fri 5:00 pm 1 hrs Robotech Tactics Workshop Description Miniatures GM: Victor Bugg

Description
Come assemble, model and paint your Robotech Tactics models with us. Glue. paint, an tools provided.

(1 hour to do what, open a box? definately not enough time to do too much with RRT)

Fri 8:00 pm 4 hrs Robotech Tactics Showdown At Granite City Description Robotech Tactics GM: Allan Sylvia III

Description
Demonstration of the Robotech Tactics Miniatures game, open to the public, player participation is approved and accepted.

(8PM on a Fri. night yeah thats gonna be the must attend event.)

and PB has 2 suck ups who are suckers to run their events too. Guess P.T. Barnum was right one is born every second.

Presumably, they're getting some sort of compensation from Palladium to run the events. I'm not sure what it would be worth, but it must be something.

you mean PB who makes their own MA's pay for table space at Cons? the Same PB who has MA's leaving due to lack of prize content and such? maybe PB sent them a bunch of Rifters, since that seems to be the most they usually do for their MA's (maybe a T-shirt or two too).

I figure they'd send them a starter box of Robotech. That's $100 in product right there!

LoL, now thats funny.

I totally wanted to man up and do some work on the Spacy side of the equation.

...but I kinda got scared when looking at the sprues, so I picked the smallest ones:



Well, at least is progress.

Hi I' am Ron RRT backer #644. I want thank some you guys that are building and painting the RRT minis. It give me some hope for this game. I know that Kev is not going to do wave 2. See to much smoke being blown up are butts here. This game could have been very good but it was frackup. Oh well thanks for all your post here. BTW I just joined

It is indeed progress. I think it is wise of you to portion out contact with Palladium in the smallest possible doses to avoid the side effects. Remember, if your destroid assembly lasts more than four hours, contact a doctor immediately.

I' am working on it warboss.

Welcome! My previous joke was @ albertorius' post just in case you thought it was directed at you. And, yes, this supposedly ongoing (as opposed to realistically permanently failed) project is a massive missed opportunity. :(

Oh I' m sorry I thought saw my joke at the start my post. Like I' am from RRT Anonymous Hi I'am Ron #644 backer

HI, RON!

Precaution: Excesive handling of PB miniature parts might provoque secondary effects like: hands glued on miniatures, hands glued on sprues, permanent fingerprints on miniature parts, bafflement, disappointment, rage and assasination attemps directed towards white haired con men.

Evil Kevin voice:

"Good, good, let your anger flow through you, with each passing moment you become more my servant, you are now....mine"

Precursor to becoming a member of the marketing team. Of course, he fails to realize that bad publicity is a detriment to his companies further growth.

After cutting some 20 tiny pieces it is inevitable a piece will "Pop!" and fling off into some dark corner.
It has been recommended to perform your cuts through a sealed Ziploc bag...
The Scout pod and VT's guaranteed my switch to the dark side. (hehe, I got the "VT's" and have never been the same!)

Right now I am arguing the merits of 48 scale vs 56 for Bolt Action, it has been almost civil... no fun at all compared to here, since 6mm vs 10mm is close enough...

I use a box lid or such when I cut sprues.

Right now working on a VF-1R squad gonna do the burgundy for leader and green's for regular troops:

Man, I need to get some spray primer...

On my VT's, I really disliked the brownies color scheme, so I did my generic Valkyries in green (which also doubles in a pun of them being "green troops").

Let me see if I can get some pics posted of what I did do...

This is what I've done so far. The Monster and Armored VT are items I've had since the 80's. The super VT and female power armor I picked up as gashapon for size testing.




Close-up of the valkerie "greenies"


Destroids, didn't complete them. The warhammer/tomahawk is based on a paint scheme I did for BT.

Well done all posting your efforts for those who can appreciate it!

Nice pics!

Man, I have to say that looking at my minis while standing over a table, they look decent to me - but seeing them blown up in pictures makes me cringe on my assembly/paint jobs.

Most especially the gaps - I can hardly see them just looking at them (partly because I know where to look), but they look miles wide viewing it on my monitor.

Indeed. Very nice! I like the brownie pose on the left especially.

yeah when looking at my minis at regular eye view, they look ok, when blown up they look crappy.

Who is this "We" you speak of? I know of at least one person who backed this [expletive deleted] campaign to the tune of $140 and so far only has a [censored] $5 decal sheet to show for it. Not even the base pledge level has been received, just a single add-on.

NEVER will I be paying PB any money again, there are much more pleasant ways of throwing money away that don't end up giving you migraines two years later.

Did that person file with the BBB and or the Michigan AG? cause all I have heard of doing that got the same response from PB we already got more value in what we got then what we paid for.
