There was mention of weapon and head sprues for conversions. How soon will those be available? At release?

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who kept Curie as a Ms. Handy...

Maybe. Can Mrs. Handy Curie fall in love with your character? I got Curie a synth body because I thought that was necessary to get her companion perk, but now I am not sure.

**Desubot**

I may or may not be the only person that never got curie

Her questline begins by requiring empathy for a child, so depending on your personality type you may not have taken the quest on

Her questline begins by requiring you to go to the same place twice, so depending on your personality you may not have taken the quest on.

Actually happened to me on my first playthrough, and I was like who's this Curie everyone is talking about...

**hobojebus**

Wait you could save the kid...

**ZebioLizard2**

Was that the quest that got you permanently infected with a max hp lowering disease?

Yeah no way was I sacrificing 10hp to save a ginger.

If you've got the skills (plus luck plus a quick VATs finger) you don't need to

**Geifer**

A flamer and a couple of frags works wonders against pests, too. If you prepare and are willing to quickload once or twice, you don't have to put up with mole rat disease and can save the kid.

I was never happy with having a flying trash can around that constantly bumps into me, doesn't fit through doorways or tight spaces, charges right into your firing line, gets in the way all the time, sneaks even worse than the rest of the bumbling brigade...

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why I even bother bringing companions along.

**Nostromodamus**

I usually just go Lone Wanderer. Same IRL...

Preview of the Minutemen expansion box for Survivors faction that will be available at launch -

(Spoiler'd due to size)

Spoiler:

**Geifer**

Yay! Hillbillies!

**hobojebus**

My wallet has now stopped crying and walked to the nearest bridge.

**ZebioLizard2**

Is that Preston in the first image?

**Aeneades**

All four are just generic Minutemen. Preston was revealed a while back you can see him part way through the page here - http://www.modiphius.com/fallout.html

The thing I like most about those models is, unlike the people who made the bloody game and wrote the lore in the first place, you're actually bothering to stick to it and they all have Laser Muskets

Come on! Who can outfit an entire posse with laser muskets? In this economy? Seriously.

It is a good thing, though. Plus, ideally we get settlers and if the thing about upgrade sprues is true, we'll have plenty of ability to outfit part-timers to mix in with full Minutemen.

And then we'll send off the general to help out those settlements by himself while we kick back and enjoy a beer. Yay!

**Pacific**

Looking at those minis and their positioning of hands, it would be easy to convert at least two of them to be holding a different weapon.

Email just went out with the text and images from the 5th dev blog - more an update on pre-order progress, a scale update to the Behemoth, an alternate Dogmeat and an initial list of products for the pre-order. You can also check it out at http://www.modiphius.com/development-blog.html but I'm sure someone will post soon enough otherwise :-)

**usernamesareannoying**

any hint on what the wasteland modding sprue is?

**Paradigm**

Presumably alternate weapons/accessories? I think something like that was mentioned a while ago.

Missed that the first time around, but I hope you are right!

**usernamesareannoying**

Darn.
I was hoping for a sprue to make buildings

I guess....

So:

DEVELOPMENT BLOG #6: Pre-Order Update

18th Sept. 2017. Here's an update on progress towards the much anticipated pre-order plus a preview of the first character expansion for the Survivors which includes a more experienced Sole Survivor (you can use the male or female figure with the card), Codsworth and Dogmeat with goggles and bandana! The scale of the Behemoth has also been updated - he's quite a monster now! Click on the images to enlarge them!

All the models for Wave 1 and about 50% of Wave 2 are approved, the starter box cover art is approved, the only thing holding back the pre-order now is some costings from factories. We want the best price for everyone and if we rush we could get it wrong and that doesn't help anyone. The whole of wave 1 is 3d printed or being 3d printed right now as masters for the production process. We have done test production which you've seen in the photos of GenCon and now Jon our wargame manager is better (he had to go to hospital whilst demoing at Insomnia in the UK so truly was hurting for the hobby) we'll be doing some videos this week to show off how the rules work. The rules are now with the editor so they're complete and we're just working on final stats and balancing. The dice are going to production this week as the longest lead time and we're currently getting the design of the cards and counters approved, the rulebook layout design has been approved. Final testing and dev work is happening on the settlement building and solo gameplay as well as scenario writing.

Bethesda has given the go ahead for the pre-order as soon as we're ready so it's all about the costs at this moment. This is a mix of UK resin production, cardboard packaging, China production on dice, cards and counter sheets, UK production on rulebooks and bringing them all together to be packed and shipped. As you can imagine that is a logistical mind maze but we've got a good team on it. We'll aim to get some videos in the meantime so you can start getting to grips with how the game plays but bear with us and we'll get that pre-order going.

Below you'll find a list of what products we have planned for the pre-order - we're aiming to give you the option of picking up everything from wave 1 which is the first 2-3 months releases. There will be some special bonuses for pre-ordering - some special bundle deals and for those who go all in a familiar but special character with unit and gear cards (and perhaps some other bonuses). With pre-order bonuses they are NOT exclusive - you'll be able to get them on the next pre-order or at special events like conventions we attend etc. I want to make sure it's special but everyone has a chance to get them no matter where you are, and no one misses out.

The plan is to do a big pre-order for each Wave so you can get in early, get some deals and get your order early so if you want to, you can support your local community and stores. It looks like we'll be shipping in January (being realistic with the number of different products we'll be producing for the pre-order), and you can pre-order from us soon, or from your local gaming store from around November. We'll be shipping into retail in late Feb or March so this will give those people involved in the demo team time to paint up their collections to help support their local stores. Remember to click the sign up to the Vault Dwellers demo team top right if you want to be involved.

There will be a Vault map so you can find the nearest store that is stocking or running demos and encouraging stores to get themselves on the map. Stores will get access to pre-order bonuses, we'll be giving them lots of support and there will be organised play kits.

We're aiming for the Pre-order to include the following items. There maybe some changes still and some items added in so use this as a rough guide, in particular some of the creatures, scenery and robots may be available separately outside of the retail sets.

Two Player Starter Set
Sole Survivor Character Set

Brotherhood of Steel Faction Set
Brotherhood of Steel Character Set

The Survivors Faction Set
The Survivors Character Set

Super Mutants Faction Set

Wasteland Creature Set #1

Acrylic Measuring Stick Upgrade Set
Nuka Cola Bottle Cap Set
Wasteland Modding Sprue

Example play through videos coming next!

Well, the Behemoth looks a lot more familiar now:

**Psychopomp**

Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed that Raiders aren't also in the first wave. They're a good iconic post-apoc, much less Fallout, faction and they'd be a great opposition to Survivors in the way Brotherhood and Supermutants are good opposition.

**Arbitrator**

I'm expecting a lot of BoS vs BoS games to be happening more than anything else.

While I wouldn't consider it disappointment on my part, I agree the post-apocalyptic wasteland is a bit dull until Raiders make an appearance.

Hopefully Survivors are versatile enough as a stand-in until we get proper Raiders.

I suspect you're right, at least until Enclave is released and we'll get lots of BoS versus Enclave battles.

**ZebioLizard2**

I think the issue would be "Which Raiders?"

4's Raider factions are either very generic or very specific. Though I would love to have The Gunners for generic, then you'd have the Forged, the Rust Devils, and the Gangster dudes.

Then finally you have the Nuka World ones.
