If I were an investigating officer.. has anyone noticed if Giefer's flag has switched to a Union Jack at any point over the past few days?!

It has? And here I thought ninja mode was supposed to give me a Japanese flag. Foiled again!

I was wondering if we could get confirmation of when the rulebook PDF is coming out and when we can get more info on the settlement cards. I'm considering getting those, but want to know what they consist of first.

Also, when is the pre-order ending again? I need to budget for it.

February is the end of pre order period.

We are going to put the Core Rulebook PDF up online for free download as soon as its out of layout (and sign off, everything has to be approved by Bethesda which is why sometimes we go a little quiet as we wait for the ok to show final product). I'm hoping this will be before Christmas, but I make no promises of time scale so as to not upset anyone.

We have photos of all the wave 1.1 models in bare resin shot now. These are warts and all shots, so no clean up and no gap filling to show you what you will be getting out of the box. I felt this was a more honest approach than showing you the models after I finish clean up and filling, though those shots will come in time too.

I should be getting lots of nice packages from our painters over the next few weeks, so I'm hoping to get all of wave 1.1 shown off in their painted glory before the end of the year, but again, no promises!

Wave 1.1 is the 2player starter set and the faction core boxes for the Brotherhood, Survivors and Super Mutants.

Meanwhile, hopefully this will whet your appetite.

Looks nice, thanks for the pictures. For some reason I like resin Sturges more than the render, and it's not the incorrectly assembled left hand that makes a difference.

Release can't come soon enough.

You know, I screwed up the first Preston I built too...

Who reads the instructions right?

While I like hiss model, which is about as nice a thing as I'll ever say about Preston Garvey, let's not call it screwed up. Improved is such a better word, even without seeing the model for myself.

And instructions are so pre-apocalyptic...

Just to head off some of the comments that we have already received, the models shown are for demo purposes and were painted accordingly. High end figures tend to get "liberated" from demo tables.

The full studio Brotherhood and Super Mutants are in house now, and Sal and I are sitting down to photograph them this week, so hopefully there will be more reveals soon. The Survivors are making their way over to us and should be in by weeks end.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Yeah, that'll be good to see.

Oh sorry if this was in one of the demo vids or what not but whats the size of the table or board being played on?(or should the game be played on)

We take two foot by two foot boards to demo on, but the core game plays best on a three by three.

Photos were indeed taken this afternoon, so hopefully Sal is working her magic and we can show some things off this week.

I saw some laid out pages from the core rule book today too, and very nice there were.

I think 3x3 is my favourite board size these days. A lot of what I have been tinkering with both for work, previous role with Warcradle and some personal stuff, revolves around 3x3 tables.

They fit on most dining room tables, make more of your scenery and still fit a reasonable sized game on.

I'm getting too long in the tooth for mass combat and 8x4 tables sadly... much as I enjoyed all that back in the day.

It seems we may well be there folks.

Here are some group shots of the Brotherhood and Super Mutant core faction sets.

We have solo shots of each model coming soon, alongside the survivors and two player set when it arrives later in the week.

So, hopefully this gives you all a good look at what to expect when we start shipping minis.

We are also starting to send minis out to some select community painters and podcasters, so hopefully some impartial feedback will be coming our way soon.

Ooh, shiny!

Loving that scribe armour, looks even better painted up. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to recreate my plus-size Nora's outfit of scribe armour and cowboy hat!

Lovely

Now teach me how to paint like that! *shakes fist*

Damn, those painted sets look great!

I wasn't really sold on the Super Mutant renders, but seeing the models painted I want a set.

So those are Resin models not the Starter Box PVC?

I like how they look that's for sure!

I'm debating playing as Super Mutants now I've loved their stances from the renders and they look pretty spot on painted up... but Brotherhood since FO1 cant betray my brothers lol.

When are we gonna get Raiders and Synths, Wave 2? or just Synths for 1.1?

I haven't followed a game so closely my whole life... My wife calls me a dork

Side Note : The FFG Fallout game lives up to my standards of Fallout and the minis are 28mm to 32mm so Im happy

Hoping to start doing some practice run painting videos soon. I didn't paint these, but I did do the guides in the starter set (which are a slightly more basic version of a similar scheme, think the GW Hobby Team vs Eavy Metal)
I'd like to do a mix of both easier and more technical painting guides, but we shall see how this evolves over time.

These are the resin minis, but I may have seen some of the PVC minis now, and they do hold up pretty well. Currently hoping to persuade the boss to show them off soon (as ever, getting sign off and things travelling around the world take time, so nothing can be promised yet).

Raiders and synths are wave 2 indeed. Sculpts are coming in thick and fast, so hopefully we will revel the raiders soon (the synths have been shown a few times in render form).

I know there isn't a set time for Wave 2 but is it coming out next Fall?

Absolutely fantastic looking miniatures! Love some of the Brotherhood of Steel especially, orange jumpsuits for the win!

We'll want to wait for people to get Wave 1 - then we'll do the pre-order for Wave 2 so it's going to be late spring, early summer when that hits - good thing is most of it is designer or in approvals or final sculpting so we're going to be nicely advanced

I think I remember you saying a few weeks ago that Frank Horrigan was being sculpted - would that mean he's wave 2?

Someone here in the UK who I follow managed to get exclusive access to a bunch of the models before their release to stream with and paint; might be worth for anyone who's interested or has pre ordered to have a look at what the miniatures will look like overall.

Her stream is running now if you want to get in on the action

Those figures are pretty sexy. Absolutely amazing how they got them right. I hope they are going to be this way, and that these aren't just the show ones.

Everything seen is from production moulds, so any resin figures you buy will be the same as these.

PVC figures are getting ready for tooling, so hopefully we will have some in hand in the new year to show offf.

Having just opened my star trek stuff this morning, I have absolutely zero worries about the quality of the Fallout casts. Top stuff.
