So, Esdevium/Asmodee not one of the distributors doing the Alien 'promo figure' deal?

MiniatureMarket.com just put of FO Wasteland Warfare (FOWW?) up on their pre-orders!

I got some more stuff pre-ordered. My FLGS said they are gonna wait on getting a shipment.

Did MM state they were doing the pre order miniature? That was the main reason i went with Game Kastle they showed it in their preorders before 1/31

There are plenty of places doing the pre-orders now, however I don't think I've seen the resin set available.

I had contacted Firestorm Games and believe they were trying to get it. Does anyone else know of anywhere that is offering it?

Think darksphere has the resin.

One of my previous questions didn't get answered. What exactly do the settlement cards add to the game? Do they provide simply information that is available in a book in card form, or do they have new material on them? Are they necessary to play the settlement campaign, or do they just add to the experience?

I need to know to decide if they will be part of my pre-order or not.

I just went and poked the designer to get some more info on this.

The Settlement card deck will include a mix of the various card types in the game (items, mods, perks, quests, clothing, chems, etc). Many/most will be unique to this deck (and this will be the case with the whole range) but there may be some duplicates scattered around (eg, there might be a Fatboy card in this deck, but you will also get the fatboy if we put out a model that uses one).

So, its not essential to your game, but it adds new cards and options to the whole range of game mechanics, and will be useful to players of any of the game modes, as you might want to put some of the equipment on a model for your battle mode games, or in AI games, as well as in settlement mode.

Quest cards are unique, so this is a good example of how the deck will expand your quest options, as you theoretically can only complete a quest once (its bad luck to have one brother murdered, if it keeps happening you might want to start asking questions...), so by adding this and future decks, you will have a whole new set of quest lines to explore in game.

Hope that helps.

That is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for, thanks. Looks like I will definitely be picking up the card pack.

Ah I can't see anything on their site - can I ask, did you contact them directly?

Nah I thought I'd seen it but I may of been imagining things.

No worries !

JonWebb - not sure if this is the best place to ask, have you got any comms with your sales guys to find out which UK stores are going to get the Resin starter set? Or something more concrete about how I could go about requesting it?

Thanks in advance!

Personally, no, but I am sure I can pin down someone in the office and find out (there are only so many of us, its not a big place).

Give me a day or two to see what I can rustle up, as the plans changed with regard to the resin starter based on player demand being greater than we expected, so rather than do the PVC + upgrade there is now the all resin set (right?!?!?)

Sorry, we've all been very deep in editing and review, so not so focussed on the retail side (certainly not me and the guys and gals I work most closely with as we don;'t look after the boring money side of things ) but I will find out.

In more exciting news, I saw my fist Behemoth in the flesh this week, along with a few other juicy bits of wave 1.2. So, hopefully some new models to show off to you in the near future... but what might they be?

Release date still set for beginning of March? I have a wishlist/ cart setup, and I am really hoping to plop down a few hundred on merchandise.

I think we might be slipping slightly, due to awaiting sign off and the dreaded Chinese New Year (2P starter set is being manufactured in China, everything else is done in the UK/Europe so won't be impacted, but we can't release without the core box, lets face it).

I will check to see if Chris has done a formal announcement yet, and if not try to get something concrete. Its close, but there are a lot of moving parts.

As ever, I'm not manufacturing side of things, I wear a few hats now, but none of them are that side of the business (thankfully, I've got enough grey hairs as is )

Thanks for the update - looking forward to hearing more about the Resin set availability, and what further releases might be coming down the tubes !

Thanks for the heads up. Super excited for this game!

I am very excited for this game but after seeing the KS for Nemesis hit over a million in less then 24 hrs... all I can think is I wonder if Modiphius regrets not doing a Kickstarter. Those results are impressive by anyone's standards. I would be curious to know how doing the pre orders stack against a kickstarter? Because I think if they did a Kickstarter they would have had even better results then Nemisis.

I didint see the mention of the pre order goals on MM for the Nuka girl or any of the sort.

I heard somewhere that the Enclave, Synths, Raiders are next maybe it was here cant remember. Any 3D renders of the Enclave or Raiders out there?

Yes although it's nice to think that we will be playing with the Fallout miniatures in a few months. I'm sorry to say with the time we've been waiting for the other Modiphius KS (the Infinity RPG), there have been world-changing scientific developments and political events, I've been divorced twice, sold everything I own and gone to work as a cobbler in Bolivia and now returned following a spiritual awakening which occurred on a journey through the jungle. It was a different person that ordered that stuff all those years ago, and not sure how I'm going to react when I actually get it. (Some or all of the previous may not be true!)

About Nemisis, some of the art and miniatures look good, but am I the only person that has noticed it looks more than a bit like Alien? Like a made for sci-fi channel movie that has got as close as it can without actually getting a lawsuit. Yet it's already made many times more than the actual AvP boardgame did - I really don't get it!

I really don’t understand why Nemesis has taken like it has as there have been far more interesting games that have acheived nothing like this and as you say, this is an Aliens knockoff that has actually made more than the official Aliens game did.

I am happy with the route Modiphius has taken with Fallout and am hopeful that it will be a big success in the long run.

I preordered before MM had it on their list but Game Kastle showed preorders prior to 1/31 get the alien mini.

One reason for Nemesis doing so well could be precisely because it's "Alien" without actually being Alien. I still like the idea behind it, but, frankly, I'm just damned tired of Alien at this point. Which is why I backed Nemesis.

We'll have to see how well Fallout does in much the same way. I think being Fallout will help it more than it will hurt it, because there hasn't been the same glut of Fallout media as there has been with Alien. People have been wanting a Fallout minis game for years. And while there's been no shortage of post-apocalyptic Fallout-style games, it's still a popular setting.

In order to get into more game stores having a non KS property is a good idea (lots of places are reluctant to get involved after KS in case all they buyers already have stuff)

and fallout is probably best places of the licences they've had to do well without KS

and if that sells in store the store will be more likely to give the rest of their stuff a chance, Occasional big hits of cash from KS is fine, but having a more steady revenue stream as well is really desirable to keep things running if there are problems, if a project doesn't fund etc

We're posting a store locator soon, it's hard to say whether they'll be getting the resin starter set in or not but at least you'll be able to see who signed up to buy the made to order items from us

We've updated the site that it's end of May - we haven't gone loud with this yet as we're about to hit chinese new year which shuts down all the factories AND we have to wait for Bethesda's sign off on everything. If there's a delay there because they need some changes made I have to get that done and that delays production and then shipping. The May date gave everyone till end of Feb to pre-order on our site though so that has helped.

Bethesda were not keen on KS, and we wanted to launch another project like Star Trek in a more traditional way. The key thing is we're committed to this for several years - we didn't want a massive bang of a release and then by the time it delivers everyone is bored - so a sizable wave 1 shows we mean business, then a gradual roll out over the months will keep things moving and it means we can build relationships with stores and send customers their way. It's obviously riskier than KS but actually I believe in the long run it will work out.

Copied from Facebook just now

I can almost feel the irradiated heat of the wasteland! This is the back of the box for the Fallout Wasteland Warfare Two Player Starter Set (pending final approval by Bethesda). As you can see in the PVC set the figures are pre-assembled in a coloured plastic ready to play out of the box (the resin version is unassembled). Since we're giving you a complete rulebook, there's now a simple 8 page 'Getting Acclimated' tutorial booklet to get you up to speed without having to absorb everything.

Hardened PVC!

Where is this extensive online content?

Is this the Character cards and rules and what-nots?

Any idea when we will see comparison photos between the pvc and the resin?

We will be putting the core rulebook up for download as soon as its out of approval.

There will also be stat cards and weapons for everything non character specific, so you can start play testing straight away if you do a simple dice conversion chart, or else wait for the core game to ship so you can use the final components.

There will also be things like army rosters, settlement tracking sheets and so forth, with more content being added over time.

The content isn't live yet as we are not at game launch day.

Now I want hammer girl from the getting acclimated book as a miniature.

I can add that to the suggestion pile for future bonus minis... if it means I can dodge vault tec squirrel bobble heads (don't ask) then I'm good
