Brilliant stuff - I love that the Fallout style has extended to the designs on the rulebook, really cool.

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

Please do.

Vault-Tec should have totally released a Vault Girl calendar. Vaults aren't cheap, you know, and anyway, they have an obligation to their shareholders to investigate new revenue streams. Hammer girl there is a great start. Only eleven more months to fill.

Yep, seeing that art style across the books and cards will be great.

The Hype is real!

Thanks for answering my question!

now lets hope we get the stamp of approval from Bethesda and the Chinese New year to finish fast lol.

We've just had initial photos from the factory of the parts to confirm, then we should get samples for us and Bethesda to approve. Once we get those we'll show them off (and we're happy of course

It's a great idea and our master sculptor is currently doing a set of Vault Security and Vault Dwellers for Wave 2 so we'll try to include her. Probably for a Wave 3 pre-order bonus as we have a special Vault Set coming out then... I also want to do a Nuka Girl on a rocket pack flying base - good thinking!

Liking the art in the books and cards, very strong Fallout feel to it. Good work

Yay! I hope this comes to pass!

I just hope we get Dwellers in proper skin tight vault suits at some point - I'd love to see the Vault 69 girl made real

This is all great news and I am excited that the Fallout style is transferring to the rule books as well. This game looks like it is going to do a really great job of capturing everything about the Fallout universe that fans love.

I placed my pre-order over the weekend and hope we see the rule books up for download soon. As for the cards being added as digital content, does that mean we won't have to buy figures to get the cards for equipment? That could be very helpful in opening up options for players without forcing them to buy kits they don't want.

Correct, we don't want people to have to buy minis they don't want/need for their faction.

Certain character specific kit will only come with that mini, but as you can't use it without playing that figure, it won't impact on you if you chose not to buy it.

We have just put up the painted shots of the Survivors core box, so thought I would put those up along with the shots we have revealed so far (and Red Rocket).

We should have the 2P starter set images up too, but I need to chase down getting those added, as the photos have been taken, so hopefully we can show them off soon.

Our painter starts in a few weeks, at which point expect to see lots of painted models a lot faster. Wave 1.2 is starting to come in from manufacturing, so we will be working on those next, along with the missing Star Trek models.

Well have to say those are looking bloody brilliant, really like the variety there.

Do you envisage at any point a plastic sprue release (a kind of 'DIY raider' or survivor set), where you can make up your own minis and adjust them as campaigns continue?

Guys - a FYI, there is a thread in the Misc sci-fi section for general Fallout discussion, to talk about stuff about the game without derailing the N&R - I know a lot of people don't scroll down that far on Dakka so here is the link for anyone not aware

We have ideas for sure, a plastic sprue for each faction with heads/weapons you can chop and change to make custom models would be amazing.

However, it would only happen if the game gets the support needed, as tooling for plastic comes with risks that we can't take up front.

I'd love to see it happen, if only to fix my WYSIWYG itch (Chris is no doubt tired of me banging that drum in the office ), so nothing on the release schedule yet, but its been considered for the future.

I'll check that thread out, in case there are any questions etc that need following up on.

Cheers

It's great to see these. That's some serious painting skills at work there. Love the survivors (except for Garvey, Mama Murphy, Ronnie and Sturgess - it's a matter of principle ). The generic ones came out really well.

Can't wait to get these.

@JonWebb

Let's be totally off topic for a moment since I don't think we even have a Star Trek thread going on. Are Borg miniatures in the works? Asking for a friend. I am TOTALLY not bent on galactic domination or anything. Honest.

Would it be bad if I said yes, the Borg are coming in the next Star Trek minis wave... alongside a generic away team...

Thank you.

Got a rough time frame for the next wave. I have a bit of a hard time following the Star Trek release.

No, it wouldn't be bad at all. I mean, you all don't mind being turned into Swedes, right?

Sam Webb (no relation, we have a Chris Webb too!) is the man in the know with Trek.

I held the first production samples of the away team last week (then put them in a box for our painter to play with next month) so they can't be far off.

I'll chase Sam down and see what I can find out.

I feel like we should close this thread down and start a Modiphius 2018 thread, would anyone object.

Only because we have some mini related things coming up over the rest of the year that go beyond Fallout... I can say no more

Edit: I'm being told April is when we aim to ship pre-orders of the next wave of Star Trek minis.

Cool, thanks. I really have to pay more attention to Star Trek. Resistance is, after all, futile.

Sam is doing a great job with the line.

Next book includes the Red Alert rules for when you want to throw down the tile sets and minis and just play out some skirmishes. Or, if you prefer to do mini based combat in your full RPG games.

Rumour is there will be another tile set to accompany this...

Yeah, I thought I had read about skirmish rules of some sort. That'd be great for me as unfortunately not all in my RPG group are big on Star Trek (although everyone loved beaming a group of angry Klingons on the enemy bridge to... resolve a conflict).

You know, by the time we're done we'll be so off topic the collected Modiphius thread may not be such a bad idea at all.

Modiphius has put up 360° views of some renders on their Fallout page:

Nora, T-60, Super Mutant, Deathclaw so far.

Looks like Steve got a delivery today...

I think I got to change my name to Steve. I want a delivery, too!

Behemoth certainly looks the part. Can't wait to get mine.

More Behemoth pics from Facebook:





It is a big shopping cart. I like the model but the cart's size bothers me.

Someone on Facebook posted a side by side of the model and a game still, and it looks like in game the shopping cart is positioned differently on the Behemoth's back, but still looks slightly smaller than what is shown on the model. Perhaps re-positioning the cart will make the scale look better?

Looks absolutely brilliant - what a miniature! Can see that making a great centre-piece of final boss for a campaign (or perhaps putting a settlement down if it gets too big for its boots )

That's because the Behemoths size ingame is scaled up further then it should be. The Fire Hydrant and shopping cart are surprisingly HUGE and you can tell they wanted to make it bigger without making an issue out of what it was wielding.

Yeah, the scale on the 'props' is *way* off here - is this the final model or (hopefully) just a test shot?

It is odd because other items could be subbed in for the cart and hydrant and "look right" scale-wise. Change the shopping cart to a garbage dumpster, and the hydrant to a gasoline pump or a vending machine, and you'd get the same basic effect (big loot holder on the back and big club in hand) without having the comically large props the behemoth ended up with. But that is on Betheseda, not Modiphius. Still, the behemoth model joins up the ghouls as technically accurate to the game renders but models I don't wish to own due to their aesthetics.

Thats the scale on the in game model was just that big.

i guess they took the in game model and didnt adjust it.

it really doesnt bother me that much personally

nothing a bit of good old fashion conversion work wont fix. the cart might be the hardest part.

When it comes to guesses, mine is they weren't allowed to deviate from the in game model. Who knows?

The items are indeed just as large in Fallout 4. Not sure about that screenshot comparison. Something looks off, like it's modded or got a really weird angle. I found a screenshot I made and the cart matches up pretty well with the model,

It kind of does bother me if I try to pretend these are a real life hydrant and cart. Luckily, America is one wacky country so I have no problem thinking of these items as props from a parental schooling business. See the world through the eyes of a child!

The cart looks separate. Wouldn't even take any resculpting if you find something large enough to connect to both ends of the chain.
