I hadn't followed this or backed the kickstarter, but those painted army shots have me interested.

The tanks will look fine if based the same as everything else, I have the same thing with all my old Epic armies. Those few MM's of the base make all the difference.

The terrain has uses in other games as well.

it's the quiet ones you have to look out for. Their the ones that change the world, the loud ones just take the credit for it.

Having seen the minis at Salute I would say they are very close to Legions Imperialis/8mm or prints to around that scale. So if you're using your LI minis for Armageddon or other Epic versions with alien factions that would be a straightforward extra usage for them.

Nice promo graphic. I'm curious where they go with this.

I've got the launch box for LI sitting in my closet unopened, so that's good to know. Maybe I can use them as an enforcers army.

Dreadball was a solid game.

The mini quality was OK.

Is this a new edition or a different game?

It will be a different game based on 2nd Edition from what we heard

Also play testing weekend at Mantic HQ:

On Saturday 23rd August at our Nottingham HQ, selected playtesters will hit the All-Stars pitch alongside a mysterious world-renowned game designer to experience the next evolution of Dreadball!

I quite enjoyed the first one, it was a really fun different take on fantasy sport and quite fast paced - from memory you could play it in half of the time of Blood Bowl.

One issue it had was some of the teams were better than others, I remember a tournament where I think the top several places were all the funny-looking aliens that didnt have an attack role? (I forget the name of them).

Cool. Its hard to judge from the photos on screen, I did a rough guess by matching the sprue scale to an existing sprue (knowing mantic would probably not deviate too far from what standard size sprues they used) and the rat infantry are a lot wider than imperialis minis, but its not a good judge of scale doing it that way. The photo could be way off.

I dont think I'm going to buy anything else though, the obscure scale is just too off putting. I've been collecting 6mm for too many years. It was bad enough that GW did it with LI, but at least the majority of those models were compatible with my existing 6mm collection (being scifi). I suspect humans/humannoids in warpath are just going to big of a scale and its not going to be worth buying the majority of releases as so much of the kits will be 'wasted' for me.

Shame- I would have loved an easy source of zombies for SciFi, we only really have fantasy ones now available and mantic bring out plague sprues would have been super useful for my collection!

I will keep my fingers crossed that once the minis are out in the wild and people start to paint them up and show them off, once compared to existing minis that are not that different in scale/size. Bit of clever basing will take care of anything too grievous.

I'll be interested to see the scale pictures when things come out, but I wouldn't expect compatibility.

If you were borderline about using the 8mm LI with your 6mm Epic, then the 10mm Warpath figures are going to seem like giants! Ironically, the Warpath vehicles will probably scale pretty well with LI. They may scale ok with Epic minis, but since alot of older epic vehicles are underscale the Warpath vehicles may still seem enormous.

chaos0xomega wrote:10mm is hardly an obscure scale


Agreed. CAV, Dropzone commander, Heavy Gear, (even old Mechwarrior clix) and a few other indie sci-fi producers as well as a ton of fantasy and historical minis are available in 10mm (1/160). It's been around a long time even if the Sci-Fi options are somewhat more limited. The compatibility with N Scale (nearly identical) and the close enough compatibility with 1/144 models provides alot of options for overlap with existing structures and model kits.

Plastics are really pushing it ahead compared to 15mm which was more popular for indie small-scale sci-fi for many years, but doesn't seem to be getting as much interest from more prominent companies these days.

Here's some I made earlier - a mix of the Troublemaker Games sprues, LI Manufactorum bits, Mantic Sci-Fi bits, Archon Sci-Fi bits and some Fabricators Lair prints - the Power Plant needs more work. I've mounted them to the new TG urban streets. I waiting on my delivery to finish a few more buildings before I paint anything

New update posted on KS. TL;DR the US elimination of de minimis in the middle of their shipping schedule is causing a bit of a bother. Changing their shipping plan to try and get as many US orders out before the tariff hits.

I am going to be screwed, as there's no way they're filling my order in time. Mod edit - removed means my Warpath order alone is going to cost a fortune...

I appreciate Mantic trying here but there's only so much they can do in five days.

I think Mantic can absolutely pull this off for the majority of orders unless someone has 8 armies and all the resin pieces.

From what we’ve seen so far the boxes are plain boxes with sprues. Picking all the resin pieces is the hardest part and it looks like they’ve done a good job streamlining that.

LOL... that's exactly my problem. I'm a crazy person and have six armies, each with 2x resin expansions.

They also have... 10 days left to get it to you across the ocean, and two of the factions aren't even in the warehouse yet.

Shame they can't sort backers by vote and leave the mad hat brigade with the consequences of their own actions eh.

They may wind up flying some stuff in I feel.

10 days should be enough that way, but I hope this doesn’t hurt them or the game.

Do we have any idea just how much a typical $150 pledge would wind up paying extra in tariffs if the deadline is missed?
