Robotech® RPG Tactics Ur pledged is...

Nothing in particular. The last update was June 5th and said that the survey would be going out "in a few weeks". Given that the pledge manager is expected to be available at the end of June, we should see the Survey in the next week or two (I mean, why bother with the survey if it's going to be released only a day or two before the full on Manager?). Haven't heard any changes about the Manager, so I'm expecting it to run for most of July (obviously we'll get more details when it goes live, if not before then).

They've reiterated a desire to have the game in our hands this fall, likely in no small part because having it in stores for the Christmas rush probably wouldn't hurt any. I still think it's a bit overly optimistic to be setting their goals 'early', but obviously it's almost entirely academic at this point. Either they hit snags or they don't, either we get the boxes in hand in Oct/Nov/Dec/2025/etc or we don't. Not trying to be negative, just don't want to get suckered into hype and find myself disappointed if it comes out a month or two 'late' (read: "on time").

I honestly won't mind a latter date. Gives me more time to get money together to get the art supplies I need for this. Money is going to be really tight for a while for me.

Well, assuming you snagged a battle cry or showdown or more (as many did, by the numbers on the KS page), I imagine for most people it'll be a several week or month long adventure to build, prime, base and paint those dozens or hundreds of figures no matter when it comes out. If you're still building up cash, just start with assembly and priming, move to painting and basing as time and resources permit.

Over the last year and a half I've bought an entire faction of the game Malifaux and roughly one third of a second, but only assembled and primed them. Been painting as I feel like doing so, and I've got maybe half of my models done at this point? Perhaps 2/3 if I just consider figures I actually use and ignore the ones that don't see table time very often?

Point being, it'll be such a large and ongoing project I imagine multiple paycheques will pass before most people even have their stuff built, let alone painted.

Went form Battle Cry to Showdown, because it was a better buy then with all the extras that I was going to get with Battle Cry. Good ideal! Thanks!

Aslo it will allow apprentice to join in but at a huge lower cost for me and an experienced painter

I've used Testors 'Model Master' line of paints on military aircraft since I was ten years old. Now while I haven't done any major model work since 2005 the methods come back pretty easy.

Use spray paint and masking for the majority of the work, then use bottle paint for the guns, and other detail work.

Once I get the minis and start working on them I will probably post tips on painting/assembling them.

At this point one tip is to probably paint them in grey primer first, them paint as much as you can before assembly.

1 x Gnerls
1 x Male Power Armour

My share of which will be:
Showdown

1 x Armoured Battloids

Much as I'd like to snag bases and an SDF-1 or 4 and some of the figures I'm missing, I'm trying to keep my costs down for now. I could see maybe going for a YF-4 pack or two and a VEF-1 pack, but adding another $90 to what is already a sizable chunk of cash wouldn't go very well with that whole "acting in a financially responsible fashion" thing.

I can totally see myself getting a battlefoam bag at some point, as I love the Malifaux one I have (and it carries my entire faction across three layers, a good 50-60 figures, mostly on 30mm bases).

But with a Showdown and a couple of add ons (including a MAC II) coming, I can't justify bothering to get one without more details. They've said the bag will carry a Battle Cry, but I'd rather get one bag for $150-200 than two bags for $100 each if it'd mean being able to transport the whole thing in one piece, and perhaps with room to spare.

Love their stuff, definitely intrigued as I consider a solid transportation system an investment for protecting my figures for the hour+ each way commute I conduct on weekends to play with friends, but we just don't know enough to make an informed call yet.

Hopefully ND/PB/BF are all hard at work and we'll get something significantly more solid during the PM period. If they go crazy and manage to find a way to cram a SD+ into a single bag, I'm good for one without hesitation, but assuming it's of a similar size to said Malifaux bag, I can't see that happening.

Maybe if I just wanted to transport one faction at a time, but since my group is viewing our collection a little communally, I would want to be able to at least bring some over.

[glitterboy2098]

i just have a battlecry and an extra spartan destroid pack.. splitting it with my twin brother, the extra pack is so we both get some spartans and phalanx's units.

[Alpha 11]

You don't know what the Open House is?!?!?!?!? Is were for 4 days people come from literally all over the world, though mostly US, with some people form Canada, and Europe, to the Palladium building in Detroit Mich. and play games all those days! There is also talks with the writers and artiest. You can even go up to Kevin and talk to him and he will sign your books for you. He also runs a couple of games during those 4 days. Its a great time had by all! The bad news is that there wasn't one this year, nor it looks like there will be one next. So hopefully we will have one in 2015. I know several guys come over form Germany the two times I went in 2010 and 2012, the last two that were held. So if there is one in 15, you might be able to met with them and come over as a group.

Thanks for your explain. And no I didn't knew it before.. Maybe one day I'll be able to come to detroit, who knows^^

Well they are having one in '15, try and come it you can!

For those not reading the All Things Palladium thread, according to a Facebook comment, the Pledge Manager lockdown date seems to be August 31st.

40 days and counting to finalize those totals!

[ZINO]

thanks man

[Forar]

Good plan. The Battle Cry ($140) tier is a simply silly deal. Like, one third to one quarter of retail, by my estimates.

The only add ons I'm interested in are those that aren't found in the Battle Cry, like the MAC II and Armoured Battloids.
