Guess I will keep trucking with assembling Enforcers and Plague while I get it sorted. I am doubly forgiving of mistakes knowing pedo-corpse-Emperor backed them into a corner and had them packing and shipping stuff at a frantic pace.

Considering the circumstances, they did damn well.

Well everything arrived except the GCPS so the dream of a two player test/demo is still tabled with the Nameless currently being defacto champions of the starter league.

I did receive the Nameless starter, the extra buildings, and the 4x4 mat. The mat also came with a carrying bag, which was unexpected but nice.

I believe the Nameless sprues have already been posted so no need to post pics but if people want them or pics of the bases let me know. Neither the Nameless nor the buildings come with any kind of assembly instructions which is a bit annoying.

Yeah, the lack of instructions is annoying for sure... somewhere Mantic said they're coming soon for the retail release later this month.

My stuff should be here today. Not that I'm checking the UPS app every 4 minutes or anything like that.

It arrived!

I got both of the Super Heavies and the reenforcement pack for the Forge Fathers. Plus the Forge Fathers army box and (mistakenly) the Plague Army Box.

A general Forge Father is 10mm from the tip of the base to the top of the head according to my cheap digital calipers.

Here’s my silent unboxing video with captions.

Download speed seems okay here in the US. Just downloaded a 60mb file in a few seconds.

I just can't get through, they're trotting me to 1 MBs and the server crashes every 10-15 minutes, there's physically no time to get a 1+ GB file. And of course they're not resumable, why would they be.

Please note that we haven’t yet started shipping orders that include the following items: GCPS and Marauder Core Armies, Faction Dice, and the Reinforcement Sets for Asterians, Nameless, Veer-Myn, GCPS, and Marauders.


At least now I now why I need to wait longer, damned faction dice....

Got all the STLs downloaded, noticed that the Asterian Weapon platforms don't exist? Although I may be missing something.

Also noticed a couple of the STLs have a MASSIVE amount of holes according to lychee slicer, but I am assuming that they will be fine to print, have not attempted yet though.

Cleaned up and scrubbed down all the resin stuff tonight. Some of the panels on some of the hand cast resin parts are wafer thin, but without instructions I don't want to start sticking things just yet.

These look very nice. Not super interested in Epic Warpath as a game but if they ever sell sprues individually, I'd like to pick up 1 or 2 to try mini-Deadzone (a 30cm chessboard would work!).

Did Mantic give a release window for the starter sets that weren't shipped, like GCPS?

Release window, no. But they’re presumably on their way to Mantic. They tried to get them flown to the UK.

They have a new page full of build instructions.

It was nice that some got instructions but nothing for the minis I have: building and Nameless. I'm sure they will pop up soon enough.

Did you see that for the core armies, you’re looking for pieces like A1, A2, A3 and A4 on the frame. Those go together, same for B1-4. Vehicles are the same way. Take a look at the Forge Fathers for example.

Doh.
I assembled the asterian flogisters wrong.

I'm sure it's nothing a judicious application of a paintjob won't fix.

I just noticed when drybrushing that I had added a GCPS veteran to an Enforcer scout base ^^

I primed all the frames last night except the one I've been taking pieces from. This should let me build things pretty quickly after this.

So far I've been doing this for the vehicles: prime black, dry brush white, contrast orange (magamadroth flame?).

I'm going to mix up some Marine Juice and go over everything with that.

Glad to help then... my review has a good shot of the frame with the letters if anyone else missed it....

Did a test print of some of the STLs (some emforcers, some GCPS and a matsudan base), and a quick paintjob to see how they look. IMHO, very good! The size makes the detail pop more than usual for Epic, too, which is cool

What are you using to texture the bases? I haven't worked a lot at this scale and have been trying to figure out how to approach it.

Vallejo basing material (that one's brown earth) and assorted tufts

Not sure what you mean, all the above bases have the Vallejo stuff on them ^^. You mean just the Vallejo texture, without anything else?

Oh I was expecting it to be a lot thicker.

My stuff is certainly much rougher but I’m okay with that.
