Xtreme Kickstarter

[Darkson (Simon)]

This and the models on display give high hopes for future releases.

Not as flashy or professional as a GW day, but still, plenty of bang for the buck.

Thanks for taking us up, Sven!

This.

Shame about no scifi Xmas bundles ready but the mixed had elf and humans again. With a deadzone metal character and scenery. A cavalry unit. Plus other bits. 3 variants about £50 worth for £25.

But did they have bases?

[Darkson (Simon)]

Not sure I understand the issue of lack of bases - I thought the whole idea was that (at least the KoW stuff) didn't really need bases?
And any real wargamer should have a cupboard full of spare bases anyway.

When Mike and I had a peek at one = no bases

on the subject of bases, the coloured ones in Xtreme are meant to be blue & yellow now

[MoodyGit (Gary)]

Mantic have a unique system of having a 5 p size piece of plastic ready to fit in a hole in the base. They would need to be up filled with putty if put on any other base or if you remove you have no way to attach.

Season 4 rulebook just released to Wargames Vault. You should get a link through KS if you backed, if not check your Wargames Vault account.

(Matt - not sure I ever sent you the link? http://www.wargamevault.com/index.php)

And a shipping plan up on Mantic's site: http://www.manticgames.com/kickstarter/ ... pping.html

When it’s come to designing the books we’ve shifted around some of the teams to better fit with the rules and our release schedule. That means the names of the Seasons and where some of the teams have been positioned have changed a little bit.
Here’s the final breakdown:
Season 4: Brokkrs, Sphyr, Rebs and Hobgoblins
Season 5: Asterians, Convicts, Mechanites and Plague Mutants
Season 6: Koris, Ada-Lorana, Crystallans and Tsudochan

Not sure if that also means if you went Frenzy you get the new 4 Season 4 teams or the original 4?

I'm excited for the new team models, hopefully they'll be as much of a joy as the core box ones.

Would like more actual xtreme rules though...

And a new DBO league isn't out of the question either at this rate

[Darkson (Simon)]

Wave 2 arrived about 15 minutes ago.

Lucky. I still don't have and email!
