To my knowledge there are no plans for resin terrain larger than the pieces of scatter terrain we've seen so far. Originally it was said that terrain like Red Rocket was meant to be beginner friendly (card being cheaper than resin or plastic, doesn't require painting, is easy to assemble) and I haven't read anything to suggest that Modiphius's stance has changed,
I don't think we'll see complete resin terrain kits of that size at least for the foreseeable future.
yeah... i know the printed cardstock is super beginner friendly but was just hoping that they would have a resin version like how they have plastic and resin options for all their figures. something for the serious collectors. i am not a fan of cardstock & laser cut terrain. but to each their own.

You won't see me disagree, but what can you do? Doesn't bother me too much. i have plenty of Mantic plastic scenery and a variety of other stuff to keep me busy for a long while, so I'm going to go and happily add the resin pieces Modiphius does release for flavor.

well let's hope another company can come up with some cool larger resin terrain pieces that are 40s and 50s era inspired. would buy an abandoned retro gas station in a flash or other figures that are falloutesque inspired. came across this figure the other day. if the scale is 32mm, i am sooooooo using her in my wandering band of survivors.
Is this game available, yet? I haven't been seeing it in my local stores. They don't have any idea about it, and I can't get it so far.
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

They have the license for Fallout 1 and 2. I don't know about Tactics. Frank appears to be an early Fallout 2 model because their stated release plan has Enclave in wave 2 (they're initially focusing mostly on Fallout 4 with some Fallout 3 thrown in). Makes sense that they would do a unified East Coast/West Coast release for them considering Fallout 2 doesn't have much in the way of graphics to inspire any models.
Also a nice model there. Manufaktura, eh? Got to look into that if the scale is good.
Manchu wrote: Is that the estimate for the UK only or also the US?
When they talked about the plastic starters, they said a separate shipment goes to America so the release of that should happen around the same time as in Europe.
I can't say for sure about the resin models, which are apparently made in Europe.
I do know that resin starters were said to be delayed for North America because that's a late addition and will effectively be plastic starters with the models swapped out for the resin versions in the UK before being shipped (so the plastic starters need to arrive in the UK first and get shipped to America afterwards, which adds time).
Would be cool if Jon Webb popped up to clarify, but I think the crew is currently at UK Games Expo (correct me if I got the name wrong), so that may take a bit.
The shipment will leave early next week and takes about 6 weeks to the UK, this means the stock should be with our warehouse at the end of June. It will then take around a week to get the stock unpacked and prepare the worldwide shipments. We'll give you an update as this gets closer.
For those waiting on pre-orders in stores, a ship will be taking a massive three container loads to our US distributors direct from China containing the PVC starter sets, dice sets and Red Rocket Scenic sets. As all the faction core sets and expansion sets are being made in the UK in resin they also have to go on a separate ship to the US, we'll be aiming to get that out to reach the US around the same time.
By Chris Birch on Facebook:
As we mentioned in the update it will take about a week to unpack and prepare the shipments, then when you receive it will depend where in the world you are. UK / EU will be a few days from when the warehouse starts shipping, USA could be a week depending how close to a hub you are. Rest of the World longer. We'll be shipping the orders out in date order - the warehouse can do about a couple of hundred orders per day and this all has to be scheduled so they can focus their resources on it. We expect it will take about a week to ten days to complete the whole pre-order (as previously mentioned those who ordered before the cut-off date get shipped first). We'll update everyone particularly when we know the container is through customs and we can give firm dates for shipping.

just waiting on confirmation from manufaktura about scale but one collector on another forum said that this hunter girl measures about 33mm tall without base. the picture below shows nora standing around 33mm so you think this should work.
While we are all waiting for the boat to arrive so that we can start shipping pre-orders out to folks and getting the game into stores, I wanted to let folks know we are looking for some new blood to help us grow the Wargames team, continuing to develop both Fallout:Wasteland Warfare and the Achtung!Cthulhu miniature games, as well as come on board at the start of our next major project, which will be announced in the near future.
We are a small but growing team, with some pretty major licences. Its a busy team, but is friendly and we even have fun sometimes. Who doesn't want me as a boss too, right?
Looking forward to seeing some CVs in the near future.
Modiphius is looking for an experienced wargame player to join our development team.
The role will involve playtesting games in their developing forms, giving feedback and ideas to get them ready for production. You will often be working to a tight brief, under time critical pressure to ensure we meet the vision and timeframe for each product.
As well as playtesting and development, you may also be called on to research products and licences, assist at conventions and shows running demos or supporting the stand, proofreading documents and other ad hoc tasks as required (sometimes we have to pack minis in house!)
The ideal candidate would game on a regular basis with a wide knowledge of both mainstream and niche games, have strong spoken and written English, be able to work in a tight and sometimes hectic team environment, understand that your work may sometimes be rejected without cause (or at least batted back for another pass), give and receive constructive criticism, ideally have some painting and modelling ability and most importantly be able to work in our central London office.
If you enjoy tinkering with rule sets and games, and are looking for a challenging but rewarding role (with a chance to see your name in the credits of commercially released product) apply here: https://www.modiphius.com/jobs.html

Edit: Posting stuff works better if you don't hit submit halfway through...
Anyway, another comment on the release schedule by Chris Birch on Facebook:
We have confirmation they arrive in the uk port 1st July so will then depend whether customs delay it which could take several days, then its trucked to the uk warehouse and needs about a week to unpack the pallets and prep the shipments. We’ll be doing what we can to reduce that time. I’ll share ship tracking info when I get it

Sounds like we should have this available late July and early August then. Score! August is my birthday month and my wife likes Fallout so someone my be asking for FWW for his birthday!

We are hoping so, though I still don't want to give dates, in case boats sink or customs decides they want an army of Deathclaws.
We had a case shipped for UK Games Expo (not for sale, obviously) to show people the core game and expansions are real (you could pick them up and everything ) and Chris and I, along with designer James are planning some videos for the next few weeks to show off more of the game and some of the minis as we wait for shipping to begin.
So, thanks for the patience everyone, its really really close now...

...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...
The new development blog post for raiders says there are new sculpts with the expansions, but it seems to me there are only 5 different sculpts in total, compared to all the other factions this is a disappointment. I couldn't justify buying the expansion if only 2 of the 6 models were new sculpts. this is such a small scale tabletop game I was expecting 0 duplication. Can you confirm that there will be more sculpts or that these are the final product?
also the raider bosses picture doesn't zoom.
on a more positive note, everything looks awesome and I am really looking forward to this finally arriving
Yeah, that's odd. And you even get the same guy that's in the core box another two times in the expansion.
Now I'm hoping for some Fallout 3 Raiders to add more variety. What's there is nice, but for what's been said to be one of the hordey factions, there's not much variety there.
Sinjin is good to see. We need more ghouls.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
Exactly, every other expansion and core box has all individual sculpts with the same(ish) amount of models. Doesn't make sense for raiders to be so mass produced compared to the others with same model counts especially given the variety of raider possibilities compared to minutemen for example,
Unless there are lots of raider sub groups that haven't been previewed yet. I am hoping it is not the case as I really wanted raiders to be my faction but if duplicates are a raider thing I will be looking at the other factions to give my love to instead. More ghouls is important
This message was edited 1 time. Last update was at 2018/06/16 07:42:26
It might be a case of getting so many Raider sub-factions that the individual groups will be smaller than you'd expect. We'll get Operators, Disciples and Pack down the line, and I assume Rust Devils as well. There has been no word of Far Harbor if I recall, but you'd expect Trappers there. Then Modiphius has proven that they don't update Fallout 3 looks to Fallout 4, so there's a chance we'll get more Raiders for that, too. Plus, perhaps, Slavers from Paradise Falls and the Pitt.
Perhaps they've decided that's too many Raiders overall to be viable unless there are fewer sculpts per group?
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
It would be a lot of sculpts, on top of the institute that releases wave 2.
I went back through all the different box sets checking duplication, and the only duplication outside of creatures like ghouls, that I could see is between the core 2 player set and faction starter sets. Which i am happy about as I can swap out the PVC for resin without spending more money for resin versions. So unless as you say it is about all the other factions unseen yet I cant see why the duplication.
I'd love to see a side by side size comparison with the bad roll games punkapocalypse figures as they would make great alternatives to avoid duplicates.
Alternate heads and arms for raiders with the Wave 2 release would solve the problem too
Chris Birch just posted an update on shipping. From Facebook:
We've just sent the following update to retailers (we cannot guarantee this reaches every retailer as we don't have them all on our mailing list but will do our best to get it resent by distributors:
The Two Player Starter sets are en-route from China to both the UK and USA. The estimated arrival in port is July 1st (UK), 24th-30th July (USA). We expect customs and delivery to our warehouses to take approximately 10-14 days meaning European distributors should receive stock late July and North America early to mid August (bearing in mind Impressions will be shut for the week of GenCon).
We are shipping the resin expansion sets direct from the UK and are aiming to get them in to the USA for early August so your pre-orders can all ship together.
Probably nothing new for Europe, but may clear up the situation in America a bit.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
Hi there we're so close now! The container ship containing the Two Player Starter Sets has arrived in the port, and is now in the hands of customs. Which means we're close to two very important dates so please read below!
IF YOU PRE-ORDERED THROUGH OUR WEBSTORE BY MARCH 1st you have until this Sunday morning, the 8th July to advise us of any updates to your order (e.g change of address) to support@modiphius.com. On Monday we'll be downloading all these priority orders received by March 1st to ship first.
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET PRE-ORDERED - you have until Sunday 15th to place your pre-order online with us and get the Nuka Cola girl pre-order bonus miniature (as long as your order totals £120 or more excluding shipping). After the 15th we'll be downloading all pre-orders received since March 2nd to process immediately after the priority orders. From the 16th July, Nuka Girl miniatures will no longer be added to orders of £120 or more. You'll be able to get Nuka Girl in later pre-orders and from conventions.
PLEASE NOTE: This DOES NOT mean we start shipping next week! We have to wait approx 7-10 days for customs to clear the container and for it to be trucked to our warehouse. This could be quicker, if it is we'll let you know. We download the orders from the store to check them over, confirm who gets the Nuka Girl bonus, and get them in a fit format ready for the warehouse to process. Once the container arrives it will be unpacked quickly but then it will be a few days for the warehouse to organise all the stock ready for fulfilment to begin. This preparation hopefully reduces any delays.
Just a few notes:
If you ordered a total of £120 or more split across several orders you still qualify for Nuka Girl.
The £120 threshold does not include shipping.
We cannot organise pickups from GenCon, the Modiphius office or the seaport
FINALLY! We wanted to say thanks so much for being patient during the long development process. We're adding a little something extra to every pre-ordered Two Player Starter box to show our appreciation. We're really proud of the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare game and can't wait to hear how you get on with it. We're planning some awesome reveals for what is to come next so watch out.
...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...
I wonder what other factions are going to get heros that can contend with Frank Horrigan? More like a 1v1, I'm sure hes a boat load of points on his own.
What other Heroes might there be? Kellog for synths
Does Modiphius have the rights to 76 also? I would like some Ghoul Raiders
Just heroes? I guess Survivors might get a half naked dude with a pointy stick. That seems to have worked on Frank the last time around.
I'd put my faith in fire power instead. Or Liberty Prime stepping on him. But for most factions, big guns and bigger booms should be answer.
I've not seen Modiphius comment on the Fallout 76 license. I think they said when it was announced that they were not made aware of it. Would be cool if they get it, though. The Ferals seem to be back to looking cool in that game. Also, giant sloth.

Fallout 76 hey... mmm, that would be a thing
We already have plenty lined up for the next few waves (expect an announcement on that once we are happy wave one is getting into people's hands), but yes 76 is on our radar and we have some exciting ideas about how we will be bringing new play experiences to the Wasteland as we explore this new part of the world.

Well that sounds incredibly promising. I suspect New Vegas and FO3 would be the height of popularity for the next waves mind.
Is there any news on the Wave 1 shipping Jon? Last I heard it was all at the warehouse and being sorted (as of Monday).

Fallout 3 (2 and 1) are already included as part of the next few waves, so they will be along in time and are not impacted by any 76 plans. New Vegas remains out of our reach at present sadly.
In terms of shipping, Chris will announce when it is moving. Its still getting sorted at Warehouse is my understanding (its a big old pile of toys) but I am not on the logistics side so can't give any concrete information either way.
I know folks are itching, we want it moving too so we can announce what's happening for wave two as well as get everyone playing with wave one.
