Defiance Games USMC Marines!

[tnjrp]

Since we haven't heard anything, I'm going to assume that they didn't ship yesterday and that my contest window is now closed. Dang it! So close!

So close, or maybe not - we shall see. Too bad anyway, JH

The freebie "Gunny" mini looks to have been only test cast so far (in very nice blue plastic, which is apparently why no actual pix of the mini have been officially shown) so it prolly indeed takes until next week at the very least until they start actually shipping the preorders. Anyway, Commander Vyper now has until May 8 to take the prize.

Sorry no, I don't have a list of the minis "in the pot". For keeping tabs on who is poised to win, I took Dr. Falkenhayn's (IIRC) list on the exact dates people have bet on and calculated the "victory windows" based off of that:

Damn, I really need that B-team!
And by the way, I want to add some extra stuff to the winner. But, I'm not sure with what yet. Might be some Brigade Games Gangsters that I got spare.

I had put up the TFL "Hugh Jarce" figure they sent out with IAMSM II.

Thats what I thought too. Trust me you dont. I think it was a very tired mould that these ones came out of. Very very soft detail. The street violence yardies I got on the other hand are great. Hence me throwing in some FFL figs so I dont seem like some skally ned.

Now is there any way of forming that set of disparate figures into an army?

Golgo Island teams?

I've a selection of figures/blisters kicking about of which I'll let the winner pick from - off hand I think most of it is GW Eldar Phoenix Lords and a Farseer - all untouched.

Actually . . . I know the EXACT date they're going to start shipping.

Yum!!!:D

I'll throw in a load of GW metal minis I've been flogging recently, (list later).

Yes, of course you do. You may know when Tony says they're going to ship but that's all. And, as this thread proves, his grasp of dates and when things will happen isn't the most reliable.
Your 'insider' label is a little tired please stop trying to use it on this thread. It's clear to everyone who's followed your posting history here, on TMP, Frothers and Dakka that you like to present company rumour as fact in an attempt to make yourself seem more important. It doesn't work.

Seconded. I'd love to see how one could bring them all together.

[tnjrp]

Good for you. However the competition cannot be resolved on your knowledge of what officially is still the future at this time of writing.

[Xeno_RG]

You're even cattier than your avatar

Actually, is more like "this is the day we have set aside to get together at my place and start boxing things" because Defiance, like 99% of miniatures companies, is operated out of someone's living room. I'd be there to lend a hand but . . . well . . . Massachusetts is a little far to walk from New Mexico


Note to self: get smoke machine and mirrors for photo of boxes when they arrive . . .

Ah. So not quite the same thing as you knowing the date they'll ship then, is it? After all, it might take longer than expected and then they can't go out on that date, no?

[Xeno_RG]

Yeah, I guess a storm might blow in and shut everything down for a month, or the entire state might be nuked by Texas because their all "libruls" or maybe the USPS'll go bankrupt. Of course, none of these have anything to do with "We will be packing the boxes and bringing them to the post office on [date redacted]." So, call it a "tentative ship date" where "tentative ship date means" (as always) "barring acts of nature, mechanical failure, or Texan lunatics."

Honestly, the real "ship date" is "as fast as a half dozen people in Tony's kitchen can box 'em and pack 'em. So . . . a couple of days barring breaks for sleeping and the occasional meal? I mean, I guess they could do without the sleep part, but then y'all'd have to pitch in a little extra for coffee (it's only fair, you know ).
