Been starting reading the rulebook, and so far it looks quite interesting to me. Feels like a game that will be fun to play.

It does indeed.

There's also a few unit profiles hidden in there that weren't in the KS

There's also this

Glad to see this now, it helps shake the idea that MMF is only for stuff at the end of its life.

It is an interesing development for sure, and having he rulebook for free will make it more widely available on release of the plastics.

I'd love to see what are they going to lead with, given I will have all the stls from the original campaign. Ideally some more poses for the plastic models to give it more variety, for starters.

That removes my second biggest gripe about Mantic. The changing of materials with each new release.

That starter set looks good and will help the reach of the game.

One of the complaints I have read about the rulebook is the lack of unit photos or even art next to each entry, which makes identification difficult especially for newcomers . Apparently the 'full' rulebook will include this, although you would like to think they will update the downloadable free one eventually.

The army list section is a bit dry.

I noticed that, and yes, they need to put unit pics in there.

And yeah, a bit of fluff would be nice too ^^

OTOH, the rules part of the game is pretty clearly written and seems to be easy to reference.

Good on Mantic for NOT requiring folks to make an account, put a zero dollar item in a cart, check out and then have the pdf emailed to you.

EDIT: Well, at least they didn’t require it for the actual rules.

They DO require that exact type of nonsense to get the fluff pdf. At least it’s the lesser important stuff as far as gameplay goes.

No, no, the book has a setting background chapter... I mean unit background. What they are, other than a name and stats.

Hoping all the bases are the same material and no more MDF bases.

I bet the big ones are mdf

I have a stack of 40mm Citadel style based already. I hope they're not too tall.

MDF is horrible to work with.

A few of the retailers (UK at least, Wayland and Firestorm) have 20% discount, so around £90 for the starter and £56 for army boxes.

Interesting Wayland have end of August for release, Firestorm first week of September.

August 31st is a Sunday, so I guess it depends on if they count the week as starting on a Sunday or a Monday (Sep 1st)

Looked thru the boxes with the army list and so far all of them have >2000 points in models
Depending on what you are going for the core box + super heavy is going to make 2500 points, 115€ MSRP
Not that bad, also the 2 player set comes with a good discount and not just free rules (270€ MSRP for the full game with the 2 player set and XL terrain)

Probably worth double dipping and picking up the starter set as well as my KS pledge. I can fling out the spare rulebook to someone, double my enforcers, get some Forge Fathers, more terrain, and a couple of Super Heavies!

Checked the army lists and it seems all armies are infantry companies.

No faction has the chance to field armoured companies, right?

Prices look pretty good, particularly in comparison with other offers ^^

I'll wait to get my pledge before doing anything else, though. Just to see what I'm getting on hand.

Oh nice, at 70€ a pop I can easily pick up the factions I regret not picking up in the KS (I have the expansion STL megapack)

GCPS and Veer-Myn have bikes as troop options and technically as all infantry can have an armoured transport, those are armoured companies

but no, there are no tank companies
