[Shadow Queen]

Any news Matt on the mini orders?

Any news Matt on the mini orders?

Yup, on their way now, in two batches.

For further reassurance, we have, this week, taken on another staff member at our miniatures facility and are looking for another, and we have gone to a full 24 hour cycle. The miniatures facility is now also working under strict deadline limits.

Together that should shake out any issues with supply.

 

[Shadow Queen]

hard working, good cook, wicked sence of houmour? bad speller

On the miniatures side, not at the moment - Adrian has us covered for sculpting and painting, and we have no plans at this time to start a new forge over here.

That said, the good cooking may swing a few of our existing staff members. . .

 

[katadder]

(and possibly the Valen) beforehand, but the two big 'uns will follow quickly after.

3 Questions: Which Valen, Legend or TLT? If TLT: Minbari, ISA, both? And will it be unique?

and to repeat as we never got an answer, why is a ship being worked on that doesnt even have rules yet when we are still waiting over a year for ships to be released that do have rules?
surely the priority should be to get models released for everything thats supposed to be out before working on new ships?

I can't think of any ships in the Fleet Book that aren't released yet and aren't being worked on.

 

[MustEatBrains]

I think the Brivoki and the Neroon are the only unreleased ships anyway, right?

 

[Da Boss]

errrr so the Mothership is actually out then?

 

[Admiral Phlop]

Not only is the Mothership not out yet, but according to the hobby shop that I order through the Carrier is still as a pre-order. Looking at the online shop @ MGP it lists as for sale. I guess this means you can buy one just not get delivery of one. Oh, and the hobby shop says that they deal with MGP directly, not through a distributor. How hard is it to cast some models and get them out to the vendors?

 

[Karhedron]

I am a bit confused about the whole situation with the Neroon and Brivoki.

Are the pictures of the models in the books just prototypes? Are they being resculpted or something? Sorry if this issue has been done to death but I have only just got back into the game with 2nd edition and I appear to have missed something.

A quick potted history would be great!

 

[MustEatBrains]

When the Armageddon supplement for 1st editionw as released, a whole lot of new miniatures had been planed, including the Brivoki and the Neroon.

The prototype miniatures were so big however, that the moulds collapsed while trying to cast the ships. and the miniatures had to be reworked.

Of the Armageddon ships, only the Adira and Liati actually made it onto the market.

Ships with new miniatures (although some seem to pe still in the pre-order phase ) include Drakh Mothership and Carrier, Drazi Fireraptor, Narn G´Vrahn + Ka´Bin´Tak, and the Vree Z´Takk.

The pictures of the Brivoki and the Nerooon are from the old, uncastable prototypes; new miniatures are promised to be on their way thoguh.

 

[Taran]

Wasn't the Victory one of those Armageddon ships?

 

[MustEatBrains]

No, the Victory was one of the last designs from Agents of gaming, although I think that the miniature had not been widely available before the company closed and B5Wars went out of production

 

[Target]

Wished the Adira & Liati molds collasped as well. The Myrmidon could gone as well. I personally would use the chronos model for it & try to find a new substitue for the Chronos.
Those 3 are truly rubbish models in my opinion.

And the White Star gunship and carrier.

 

[EDFDarkAngel1]

I went to my LGS and tried to order:

Poseidon
Hyperion
Liati
Orion Starbase
Adira
Dag'Kar
Psi Corps Mothership
Psi Corps Hunter

All of them out of stock with one of the most popular distributors in the US. Makes it really hard to me to generate interest in Bab5 at my game store.

Lucky there is a nice guy from Germany making a cool Adira!

they might be being worked on but not in a good order. why release a valen (that doesnt have rules) before the neroon or brivoki (that do have rules) that havent come out yet?
also its almost impossible to get most of the ships supposedly "released" this year. the xonn is released but can you buy one? no cos its bananaring. alot of ships you cannot get hold of for love nor money.

Bananaring????
