stormseeker75 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I'm unsure about this game. I'm looking for something to really blow me away about it, but I doubt its going to happen. I should probably just play CAV, but there's nobody in my area playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormseeker75 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sorry man, Harrisburg is too far from me. You coming out towards the Delaware Water Gap anytime soon? Come do a demonstration at my FLGS, Dark Tower Games in Denville NJ. I'll definately come if you do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanite Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thoughthammer listed pre-orders on the April/May AT-43 releases: http://www.thoughthammer.com/?manufacturers_id=198 A couple surprises there, though I have no idea how accurate the information is, and they don't list the already-out firetoads.

Erion Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 If you mean the Red Blok Stuff, they've been saying on the AT-43 Boards they'd be coming in may for almost a week. And Neal put the March/April Pre-orders up sometime yesterday. You have to go to 'Rackham Preorders' under Confrontation to get to them, though.

Nanite Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 From the AT-43 site: Fire Industries Rackham are pleased to announce the launch of Fire Industries. There dedicated resin miniatures division on 16.04.07 Tasked with providing support for all of Rackhams existing games systems including AT 43.

There will be a range of alternative weapons and upgrades to complement the forthcoming styrene kit releases for AT 43. This U.K. based operation will initially be direct sales only. It is hoped to have a presence on the show circuit in due course. With access to some of the industries best designers pattern makers and sculptors: it is hoped to rapidly create a reputation for realistically priced, top quality products. The initial set of releases will be on sale 16.04.07 details to follow. Please let this not be an april fools prank: forthcoming styrene kit releases for AT 43.

Lars Porsenna Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 We'll see how long they take. I for one like some of the looks, but would rather paint my own. I had been tossing around the idea of enhancing the pre-paints, but if true multi-part styrene kits come out... Why doesn't anyone make kits from ABS in the west? It occurs to be that it is a more durable material, can take detail well, and glues together fine if you use decent cement (like Plastruct Plastic Weld). And before anyone comments on the "difficulty" of molding in this material, I have a Trumpeter Type 85-II Chinese tank injection molded in ABS... Damon.

Nanite Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 I think Mongoose did the SST starter in ABS. That didn't turn out so well. Of course, if the minis had been better designed... But I think we've all been over that enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erion Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Shh. Don't sully this thread with talk of games gone bad... Anyway. People are saying the rulebook is on shelves here in the US. As soon as the warstore confirms they have it in stock I'll be placing an order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanite Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 So per Rackham, Fire Industries is not a new division, but a licensee outside of Rackham. Ok so here's some wild speculation: I'm guessing styrene kits of existing PPM's will be the same price or more, so as not to distract from the main line. However, I'd hope the DIY kits will offer a better value for the price, with complete weapon and equipment options, or more miniatures in a set. But that's all guessing on my part.

Erion Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I don't think the kits will be more than existing product. Same price is almost definite. Rackham is going in a new direction with their games, where pre-painted is the norm and unassembled and unpainted is the exception (yes, even with Confrontation). I like both Games, and I'll be watching with interest to see what comes of it. Especially considering the mess that became of a certain other game that went from a traditional TTWG to prepainted (and as yet unreleased) models.

Nanite Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 If they're the same price, for exactly the same product, only without the painting and assembly, then it's a no brainer to get the prepaints. I like painting myself, but I don't like it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
