EU shipping should happen from a trading hub inside EU, so this would not be a problem

also that everything is arranged in the UK first should avoid any ongoing tariffs situation between EU and UK

Sorry I still have PTSD from a UK kickstarter that also said EU shipping is taken care of and then just YOLO'd a 300€ package into regular mail with no paperwork and hoped I'd be able to convince customs on my end that it's just a really bulky postcard.

Ouch. I don’t think anything like that will happen here. They’re also publishing the rulebook in many European languages.

Sprues look good. Still not regretting skipping this KS, but there is a fair chance that Enforcers and/or GCPS will be strongly considered in the future as a source for affordable 10mm sci-fi infantry.

FireFight and Deadzone balance/rules updates are live in the Companion, pdf version follows after the weekend
https://www.manticgames.com/news/deadzone-and-firefight-balance-update/

Firefight: two new missions, minor rule tweaks, and a polish of the game’s core command orders

Deadzone: final version of the 2 new faction force lists, adding options to better fit models and balance point costs

Hopefully the balance rules don't affect the printed free copies of the Firefight rules that Mantic have been giving out.

I would like to play it sometime.

as far as I am aware the core rules update is for a better wording to make things more clear and not changing anything

Oh good. I have a huge stack of the Firefight rulebooks and need to start putting them in places.

I was really hoping they'd show off the plastic Rebs that they talk about last year.

Is there any word of Mantic being at GenCon?

According to the awful GenCon website, Mantic will be there.

Whoever thought this was a good idea? Just show all the exhibitors on a page!

Latest update in - shipping starts NEXT WEEK!

Any pledges that have everything in stock already will be getting packaged up and sent out, so the more basic your pledge the better I guess? Glad I'm basic AF and went for Enforcers and Plague ha ha

They're aiming to have everything shipped by end of August (we'll see) so theoretically nobody should be waiting *too* long.

HYPEEE

I have one of the biggest pledges (12 factions I think) so probably last out the door, but I'm away on vacation for the first half of August anyway

I received an email following up on if I was still interested in a late pledge add on so if you contacted Mantic before about it you might want to check your email.

That would be the first painted image of the Nameless and first image of the GCPS minis? The Lancers look a bit flat I know they are designed like that but they look a bit short.

the flat looking tank is the Lancer, and as it is antigrav and not using a base it looks more flat than it should

Yeah just realised it’s the Lancer needs a flying base then perhaps? (And a mind your head sticker )

I got one too. I’m going to add the other base faction kits.

That is excellent news!

Cannot wait to get my mitts on them.

Liking the look of the new preview shots too

Hooo boy, I'm almost glad I'll be on the later shipments xD

Also received the email, def adding.

I'm going to message them about getting a late pledge add on...

There's 8 different factions as far as I know, and I ordered one set of each ^^

I’m getting 8 factions plus books and tokens and stuff. Plus some extra terrain. Plus all the extra bits for my forge fathers.

I really finally want to play Warpath.

The tragic part is I still have 3-4 Warpath factions from the 28mm Kickstarter that I never even opened...

I heard back from Mantic and apparently all they can actually do at this point is trade out factions within a pledge not add anything to a pledge.

Yep, received the same, huge bummer

Which ones?

Just got the same email from Mantic too. I will collect them at retail, alternating with the Kings of War Champions stuff.

I haven't watched this yet but figured I'd post it here just in case there is any real news contained within.
