I haven't pledged yet as I am wanting to know if I could pledge just for the U.S marines, the map, buildings and any of the vehicles that get added..

I can't see myself playing Mars attack but I certainly be keen to use the terrain in many of the 28mm games I currently play.

Thanks Commander.  I'm torn, I wish they would release a video of a sample of what these figs look like.  Reaper did that with the bones so folks knew in advance how bendy they would be.  I don't like to beat a dead horse, but I'm really fed up with annoying bendy crap.

I don't mind the material, it's what people do with it.  Mantic have produced decent restic figures and awful polystyrene and metal ones.

Well, mostly - if you're sculpting and selling figures made from your own poo, I'll probably pass on those,  thank you...

Most of the Bones minis I have are fantastic - the monsters especially are great and there's almost no flash on them.  Bent swords?  Dip them in hot water, straighten, then cold water.  The only worries I have with the figures are 1) spearshafts and staves probably need replacing with a bit of brass rod as they're just TOO bendy; and 2) some of the human figures are not as well-detailed as the majority.

But yeah, thanks for that Commander!

Just my opinion, this stuff is rubbish, I'm not a fan of mantic in the slightest, but this is rubbish, its silly rubbish, that's just me though

I have pledged but I only want the Terrain and the Marines...

from what I hear there will be scaled vehicles added [depending on how much funds are raised]

and there could be more buildings but not damaged...

I will be flicking the Martians and rule book off once I get the box. everything else will be used to add terrain or characters to my Zombicide and SuperSystem3 games.

I'd only be interested in the Martians if I went in on this. Still not sure yet so will wait.

From what I can see it is still a reasonable deal. A game in a box. The rules are a bit risky as will the quality of the final pieces considering they won't be in Mantic's previous materials.

But the aliens look to me like they could be very nice. Possibly the characters too.

Indeed it would. Personally I could point my finger at any number of things I consider 'silly rubbish' across the boards, up to the point that it becomes a worn and bloody stub.

The thing is, is that I don't and have some tolerance and respect for whatever pleasure and enjoyment anyone gets out of whatever it is that they choose to do with their own time and money.

Now, burning cattle... just how would one go about painting those?   ;)

If your keen for a "All Terrain" pledge level on this KS Project then go onto the comments section and let them know..

As I am keen for terrain but not the martians ...
