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.
Thanks Jon, look forward to the update coming.
That's a shame about New Vegas content; presumably that's down to another layer of IP rights and approval etc. with Obsidian? Especially as it seems to be the most popular of the 'newer' games in the franchise.

The enclave will lean on the older games for sure, so Frank won't be coming out to bat alone.
I'm not sure we have announced what else there might be yet, so I better keep my mouth shut there
Or have we said the Master...
Gulp...
The master is a lie. I played Fallout 1 and never came across him.
While on topic of coming new shinies, I don't know if you can talk about it, but are there plans for Atom Cats? Asking for a friend who's a big fan of them.

My memory of Fallout 2 is a bit hazy, but I'll happily take the entire range of Enclave troops from Fallout 3. Especially Hellfire Armor for the power armored variant of my Lone Wanderer.
Wave 2 is going to be so much fun. and very, very expensive.

SHIPPING NEWS (& GENCON): Hi folks just to let you know where we are, I know there's a lot of you watching your email notifications and post boxes like the world was about to end...
After a huge effort Rita (my amazing wife who runs Modiphius with me and is sometimes seen cosplaying a blonde Nora!) and Benn delivered the shipping data to the warehouse. Some of you have some pretty weird crazy addresses so they had to manually go through over 5,000 lines of order info to be absolutely sure every order would process okay. Big thanks to them it's not a fun job. The warehouse are now getting us a slot to start (they're also doing other companies so they're not just sitting around waiting for us). They've loaded the data their end and we're do some spot checks on it as a final approval today. Once approved they get the packing area set up and start processing the first orders with available stock - soon as this starts I'll confirm. Some items are still dropping in. So far we have the 2 Player sets, dice, Nuka caps, resin starter figures, the three faction core sets, acrylic rulers, Settlement Decks, and now Red Rocket has arrived! The faction character and expansion boxes are being delivered monday, then we're just waiting on the creatures, robots and scenics to drop in next week. We're so close now...
GENCON - We were close to getting the orders out before GenCon, I'd love to have been able to sell Fallout: Wasteland Warfare there and we even paid extra to split our shipment to the US to get the two player starter boxes delivered in time. *** However with the pre-order only just starting I decided NOT to sell at GenCon.*** I don't believe it would be fair on those of you who have waited so long and been so patient. Our little business relies on your good will and the ability to work together on amazing pre-orders like this to deliver an insane amount of models. So at GenCon we'll just be demoing and showing off full copies of the game so do come and check it out and we'd love to see you there to tell you about what's coming (oh the shiny...!)
On localized versions of the game:
We're in talks with several countries for 2019 releases will let you know when we know more

It should be said that they will sell the (previously) free pre-order extras as event models as planned and announced some time back. Definitely the Zetan, which was talked about on Facebook, but I assume Nuka Girl also. So if that's something you're interested in, stopping by Modiphius's stand is worth considering.
But regular stock will not be sold until their pre-orders are fulfilled.
Which I think is decent of them.

Just the Zetan. Not sure if we have announced how you get hold of him, so I won't say 100% but its not "for sale" but will be available... don't tell the boss
We had hoped to get everyone's orders out so we could release at GenCon, but its not fair on all the folks who have pre-orders and have waited so we made the decision to take the hit and not upset our fans.
Seemed like the right thing to do.
Wave two and beyond will be smaller faster waves, to ensure we don't have another huge gap between pre-order and release. Wave one was a big one to get a solid grounding for the game and gives you plenty to be getting on with while we round up those raiders...
...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...
Geifer wrote: Hmm, interest8ing. Well, I'll be watching this. I'll have a buddy at Spiel! in Essen later this year and figured he might do some shopping for me.
Got to get me a Zetan or two. You know, for science.
Really looking forward to Essen.
Our German Vault Dweller team have played a big role in helping get Battle Mode ready, so it will be nice to spend some time with them again.
Would be great to see you there Geifer, why send a ninja?
...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...
You definately get a gold star for looking out for your customers and not selling early. Those that backed the preorders got everything going and I like the fact that you are being very fair to them.
Yeah found the same post. Sadly as I ordered everything it looks like I will be a week or 2 behind some others. But i can drool over my friends starter set till mine arrives
I preordered mine through my FLGS, I hope that they are posting out retail preorders at the same time.
Would be a shame if I got things late for trying to support my local business.
I know they were very slow in reaching out to retailers, the preorder on their own website being available for ages, which was a shame as it created no real buzz in the store. Also seems to have made the owners less inclined to push it.
Still better than a kick starter that locks retailers out altogether.
They have said the FLGS orders will be after the direct online pre0orders. but i figure it will be days rather than weeks between store orders getting out and those who went all in getting their items.

Me too. I don't expect a huge delay and I've already waited nine months, so what's another week or two? Realistically that's just the danger if you are reliant on every single item being there - if one little cog breaks, the whole machine comes to rest...

Another week or 2 gives me time to paint the scenery i keep putting off doing so not a bad thing really..

I can't speak for the retail side of things but Chris did say that they were expecting all the items to be arriving in the factory this week. It's some of the resin parts that were slightly behind the PVC I believe, so the ones already an route Tuesday were probably the PVC only starter sets.
Did seem to only be a matter of days rather than weeks (hopefully). GamesQuest are dealing with the shipping in UK so there shouldn't be any delay caused by the Dev guys being over in the US for Gen Con.

Hehe, yeah. I've started my third or so side project while I wait.

I thought it was Red Rocket, but didn't pay too much attention. What matters to me is that stuff should come in this week, not what it is specifically.
But yeah, it seems the groundwork has been laid and now it's entirely up to the warehouse.
100BostonFan wrote: Do we know if the direct orders for the USA are going out soon?
What we know is that all orders directly from Modiphius are sent out from Britain and that pre-orders placed before March are processed first.
I doubt that an order from America makes a difference, although how long it's on the way and customs meddling with the parcel will be different for America and Europe.

Hi everyone quick update now I'm back from GenCon. The missing two expansions Super Mutants Suiciders & Brotherhood of Steel Knight Captain Cade & Paladin Danse arrived and outstanding orders (eg Super Mutant and Brotherhood Starter bundles) are now shipping. Stock of Terrain Sets, Creatures and Robot models are ready but waiting on some cards - a set of creatures, and two robots card packs went missing in transit so the printers in France are making another batch for us. As soon as they arrive in the UK at the factory next week the factory can finishing packing the sets - this is delaying shipment on the big bundles that include all of these. We'll let you know as soon as they're in but please be patient as it takes a few days to pack everything properly. Meanwhile later next week we're starting to ship priority orders to distributors who ordered by the cut off so retailers should see those about a week later (depending on the distributor).
