As mentioned in the previous post I pledged through a local game at the 'One Click' level. This seemed like a good way of getting a nice cross section of stuff without breaking the bank as finances were an issue at the time...
Editors Note - Both my usual camera and daylight lamp were unavailable so the pictures are somewhat variable in quality I'm afraid...
As well as the core game I got this pair of expansion booklets...
...and the following bundles...
Mars Attacks Kickstarter Freebie Bundle.
You can see the terrain in Part 1 but here's everything else...
Craig and Tunga, Martian Supreme Commander, Beloss Bel, Science Division Martian, Martian Standard Bearer and Zombie Martian...
There were also some clips for use with the cardboard tokens from the main game...they're not particularly exciting but they are somewhat useful.
Martian Mayhem Bundle.
This one contains Martian Marines, Stealth Martians and a certain gentlemen called 'Blaine' who is probably familiar to any fans of Mantic Games...he seems to appear in pretty much all of them...
Escalation Bundle.
Contains Novas Viras, Martian Science Division, Esteban and a rather nice flat-bed truck...
...the truck I mentioned...
I should also add that the model is exceptionally simple to assemble.

There was also a 'Core Expansion Bundle' that was basically one model (Don Manning?) and some trading cards...

I'm not really a trading card collector but they are nice...if that's your thing.
The 'One Click' pledge also included another three paper mats for larger scale games and a high quality mat but I figured you didn't need to see pics of those, lol.
Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
What do you think about the quality of the plastic? I'm most interested by the truck when it comes out in retail, but I will admit the excuse to shout "Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack" at my opponents while gleefully ray-gunning civilians is highly tempting...
ReplyDeleteThe quality of the minis is decidedly gaming standard, as opposed to tabletop minis standard. They aren't GW, but they aren't bad at all - think zombicide but slightly more detailed. The robot and saucer are nice, but not outstanding. Not a bad effort and acceptable when painted.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a box of 10 Martian Grunts just for future use in Deadzone, and the plastic is a bit more rubbery than most mantic products, one model is a bit rocked forward on his base, and one models ray gun is a bit bent... I tried the hot water soak, bend it back, put it in cold water and it wasn't quite as crisp of a fix as with other mantic products. That said, only one model had any flash (other than small nubs on the base where the molds attached) and they painted up really well after being primed... also, it is worth mentioning the plastic helmets (which in hind sight I should have left off before sealing the models, then glued on using white glue (not superglue!) fit really nicely which was as surprise!!
