Is the Veer-Myn heavy support from Deadzone or is that new? I don't recognize it.

Have they mentioned anywhere what material those Enforcer heavy weapons will be? They look suspiciously much like the old metal bits (which were *such* a joy to assemble I can't wait for another bunch!)?

It's from Deadzone Infestation it's not new.
So I moved from a $115 EB to Total Warfare as I wanted 3 Battlegroups anyway and it's the cheaper option.
The Enforcers material isn't mentioned it's an upgrade pack so I assume metal.
The Asterian Drones are added to the Battledrone sprue

HIPS but they will be on the Battledrone sprue so not available separately.
Thraxas these are new drones not the Deadzone ones

I guess I should buy some, then. However, upon closer inspection, I believe the little weapon drones will be HIPS, placed on the sprue with the Asterian Titan AE drones.
They must be what Asterian dogs look like. Automatically Appended Next Post: DaveC wrote:HIPS but they will be on the Battledrone sprue so not available separately.

You mean the dead sexy HIPS elfbot sprue? I suppose I could find a use for them.

Math:
The 3-battlegroup pledge saves you $40 over just adding two battlegroups ($30 if switching from the best Early Bird)
Going to the 6-battlegroup pledge then saves you another $35.
Not bad, but not great in itself. But with battlegroups still growing, they are becoming really attractive in their own right. The rat artillery piece alone was a $25 add-on in DZ:I (with a Primogenitor thrown in later to make it easier to swallow).

I'd rather see them keep the old Asterian drone design, tho. I don't see why they would have two sets with totally different aesthetics, and the restic ones will be hard to get in decent numbers as they're on a tool with a bunch of other things.

These look like smaller drones that work along side a unit where as the Deadzone ones are bigger heavy weapon drones - I guess we will have to wait for the Asterian Army list which is due this week.
DZ weapon drones are available on their own

- They are not replacements for the larger drones that already exist, they are as you say scaled down versions like the Infantry are to the Cyphers.

Those are some value packed pledge levels right there.
I do not really understand the difference in levels though:
Total Warfare = 3 x battle groups = $225. Other stuff = $10
Ultimate Tyrant =5 x battle groups = $375. Other stuff (same as total warfare iirc =) $50. So the "free" battle group is $40 free.
Still good savings to be made.

The Asterian bundle looks pretty tempting. Except for the spelves with bows. Stupid space bows. I hate them so much. Maybe I'll be able to use them for fantasy, or grind them up as filler for the orphanage bread, something useful like that.

That makes for a total saving of over $85 if you’d pledged for the items separately on Kickstarter (and that's not including discounts already included in the Battlegroups and the huge discount over retail.)
I'm not sure why anyone would pledge for the items separately... I'm sure if they wanted to actually do the same thing they would have simply added 2 Battlegroups to their pledge. There is no reason to add each army piece as a separate add-on. It is still a savings to go to Total Warfare but it isn't a $85 savings, only about $30-40 depending if you had a EB pledge or not. I get it.. it is supposed to be marketing but meh.
If corporation gets unlocked then I would probably move to Total Warfare and abandon the EB. But for now since I have most of the army that I would want from previous KS other than vehicles, it seems better for me to stay where I am at.

I'm about half finished unpacking my garage and still haven't run across my DZ stuff.. did we have missile launchers for Enforcers previously? If so I need to see how many I have. I'm fairly certain I have a gak ton of burst lasers or whatever they're called in Mantica.
Asterian weapon drones look nice and alien and still recognizable as what they are IMO. Well done.
Not having these as a separate add-on though.. ugh.
It does sound a lot like Mantic is committing to Corp.. that's a good sign. I'll probably cherry-pick that line but I know there's a lot of people amped up about it.. The new semi-mega pledges seem to be a good deal for people going all in or new to Mantic. Not for me but not bad for those folks
As it stands I think I'm looking at topping off my FF and Enforcers in the PM and maybe going in on an Asterian starter.

No, more like Ardwight Chamberlain snuggled up to me on an intimate carriage ride. Er, I would imagine?
Is that a Dinklebot reference? I don't play a lot of computer games.

RE: Asterian Weapon Drones - Looking at the KS page, the existing sculpts for those weapon drones are going to be part of the pledge already so these look to be in addition to.
I would think it's likely similar to how Tau in 40k have sniper drones and gun drones. (or did when I played..)

Yeah we did, one of the restic Enforcer specialists from Deadzone 1 was a rocket or missile guy, he came in the bag with the sniper, engineer and sentry gun turrets
Also this new Asterian drone seems to the equivalent of strapping a missile onto one of your normal guys in the other armies, whereas the old drone was a big thing more akin to the Mining Laser, Jotun, Goblin Guntrak, and Veermyn Weapons Platform

New pledges get the vehicle prices down $20 if you back out the cost of early bird AW, so good job on that, Mantic.
Ultimate tyrant - BGs are $62 (AW @115 + 5BGs@310)
Even better deal at Total Warfare if you wanted 3 battlegroups and rules - BGs are $60 (AW@115 + 2BGs@120)

Which one?
And that would mean 'real resin' and not 'plastic resin aka restic', right?
Resin would mean 'yes', metal would mean 'probably not' for me.
