Doch, ab S. 80 findest du die Armeelisten. Falls nicht, war dein Download wohl irgendwie verhunzt und du solltest dir die Datei nochmal runterladen.

[Saranor]

hab es mit KoW Free Rules verwechselt! Dort fehlen die Listen.

 

PS: hab die Listen aber auch dort gefunden... am Smartphone hatte ich die übersehen.

Bei KoW sind 2 Beispielarmeelisten dabei und es gibt die Armeelisten über Easy Army https://mantic.easyarmy.com/KingsOfWar

Für vollständige Regeln ist aber immernoch entweder das Uncharted Empires Buch oder das Grundbuch notwendig (ja gespielter Armee) bzw ein Abo bei Easy Army.

In der deutschen Kings of War Gruppe auf Facebook schrieb jemand der augenscheinlich für Fantasywelt arbeitet, dass die deutsche Übersetzung des Regelbuches schon fertig ist und Mantic vorliegt, sich die Veröffentlichung aber wegen des Lockdowns verzögert.

Das ist der erste Asterian der mich anspricht.. Vielleicht wird es ja doch noch was mit Deadzone, meine Truppe steht im Keller und verstaubt.

For the first time in Mantic's 10-year history, we've had to cancel our Open Day. This was a massive disappointment because we love hanging out with all the Mantic fans at HQ, spending the time chatting and playing some games. However, all is not lost because we are going to host a VIRTUAL MANTIC OPEN DAY on May 9th. Who's excited?

That's right! Now we can hang out with fans around the globe and - even better - it'll be free to attend. We'll be trying to recreate the feel of an Open Day as much as possible and currently the plans involve: live streams of games the infamous Ronnie Q&A Needy Cat Games' seminar on Games Design 101 live sculpting session special website offers Plus we'll be unveiling plenty of new models, like this work in progress Asterian Spectra...

Ok. Containmentprotocol für dieses jahr gekippt. Ebenso die dreadball-paralelle die kommen sollte. Kommt beides nächstes jahr.

Matsudan und der cyphermech werden in die digitalversion des letzten containmenprotocols: escalation eingearbeitet plus eigener regeldownload.

 

Schade aber kann man wohl nix dran ändern.

 

Ps: find grade ziemlich doof das ich keine erinnerung bekommen habe. Habe also den ersten livestream verpasst. Hoffe der war kein seminar faq. Jetzt läuft grade digitales modelling mit luigi.

Ansonsten:

 

Vanguard bekommt einen 2 Spieler Starter mit Basilea und Nightstalker

Hey everyone, Ronnie here! Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy. Although the UK is starting to very slowly come out of the lockdown, it’ll be some time before we can get back to gaming as usual at stores or clubs. On the plus side, it gives us more time to finish off those lockdown hobby projects that we haven’t quite managed to complete. I’ve really appreciated the time to get some hobbying done and I hope you’ve been kept busy too. Even my two boys have caught the hobby bug… although it could just be an excuse to avoid homeschooling. During the Virtual Open Day (a reminder of all the exciting announcements can be found below), I mentioned that I wanted to make sure we said thank you to all the keyworkers around the world that have been working tirelessly since the outbreak. It can’t have been easy working in some very difficult conditions and during the pandemic, we’ve come to rely on your incredible work more than ever. We've already offered free rules (check the free rules section) and discounted solo play games but I wanted to do something more. As a thank you I wanted to offer a discount code for the Mantic website. I genuinely believe hobbying has a part to play in keeping people entertained and engaged in these strange times. Having some extra miniatures to paint or a rulebook to peruse while in lockdown, helps to take our minds off the reality of what’s happening in the world at the moment. Giving us our own safe space to relax. So, a discount code to help pick up a few more hobby products is our way of saying thank you. When we started to look at the list of keyworkers we wanted to say thank you to, the list quickly started to grow very large. Whether you’re a health worker, police officer, retail worker, delivery driver, garbage collector, postal worker, teacher, etc., we really wanted to thank you all. Then you’ve got the parents probably tearing their hair out at home while homeschooling or the people living on their own in need of some entertainment. Plus, the people who really just want the anticipation of that exciting delivery coming to keep them going through some difficult days. It soon became clear that we wanted to thank everyone – particularly those who have supported Mantic during the outbreak and ensured that we can keep trading (all be it with a reduced staff). So that means we’re extending the thank you code to you all! Seriously, watching your hobby updates throughout the outbreak has really put a smile on our faces and helped us get through some of the darker days. Meanwhile, the community atmosphere of the Virtual Open Day on Saturday was a great reminder of what superb fans we have. And I can’t wait to hang out with you again. So, until the end of May, you can use the code ‘THANKYOU’ on the Mantic website to get 15% off your order. *The code can only be used on Mantic products and can’t be used on products that are already on sale. And we’re keeping the free shipping minimum spend at just £25/€30/$50 during this period too. Thanks again for all your support during the outbreak, it means a lot to everyone here at Mantic. Thank you and hopefully see you all again soon,

STAY SAFE EVERYONE AND KEEP HOBBYING

Aktuell suchen Mantic Games Playtester für ein bisher unangekündigtes Projekt, wahrscheinlich im KoW Universum, aber lest selbst:
 

Zitat

Run out of models to paint? Not even started but can’t admit it to anyone? Want to actually play some games?

We are looking to add to a playtesting group for something exciting we have in the pipeline (not a clue). We are looking for people who can commit to gaming, and have the time to play some test games using the Vassal platform. In this time of social distancing, playtesting is moving online!

If you are interested you need to:

- be able to play at least one game per week
- provide constructive and thorough feedback
- be on Facebook so you can join the playtest group page (well you're reading this so hopefully that's an easy one)
- have experience of Mantic games, especially those set in Pannithor, and preferably a good solid background in gaming in general

If selected, you will need to sign an NDA before any details of the project will be revealed.

If you would like to be considered, please submit a brief application to playtestfeedback@manticgames.com detailing your credentials and worthiness by Friday, May 22nd.

Hmmm, mit Fratzenbuch als Voraussetzung hat es sich auch schon erledigt.  Kein Fratzenbuch erledigt vieles ganz von selbst. 

[Kodos der Henker]

Da Mantic durchaus sehr viel über FB erledigt komme ich auch immer wieder in Versuchung mir einen Pseudoaccount nur fürs Spielen an zu legen
aber mit einer Nacht drüber schlafen erledigt sich das dann auch

 

Verständlich ist es ja, aber auch Schade das alles ausschließlich über FB läuft

[Winston]

Absolut nichts auf dieser (oder irgendeiner anderen) Welt kann mich dazu bringen ein FB Account anzulegen.

[Kuanor]

Die Frage ist doch nicht, ob „du“ „dir“ den Account anlegst, sondern wie du sichergehst, dass der Fake-Acc nicht (durch FB oder Andere) mit deiner Person in Verbindung gebracht werden kann. Ich nutze einen anderen Browser, wenn ich mich da tatsächlich mal einloggen muss.

 

Das Playtesting klänge sogar verlockend, ist aber mit der notwendigen Kommunikation einfach sehr zeitintensiv, möchte man die Sache ernst nehmen.

[Kodos der Henker]

und passend zur GW Ankündigung lässt Mantic den Troll raushängen:

Zitat

ACT NOW – the price of every single Mantic product on the website is changing*!

Mantic is a small business, trying its best to navigate these difficult times. We have seen increased charges from our shipping companies, and some of our suppliers. All the while, Mantic has faced a large reduction in offline sales because your local gaming stores are closed. Although it is great to see some reopening (and we have plans to help them, when the team is back in June) we miss those important restocks to the FLGS.

Meanwhile our website has remained open and the warehouse has continued shipping (with strict social distancing measures in place). Most of the items on the website haven’t moved in price for years, but sometimes you just have to act.

While we are keen to ensure that people are able to stay inside safely, and spend their time and efforts doing interesting and engaging activities – there are some harsh realities in these challenging times – and Mantic still has bills to pay.

So the price of every product has to change – so as a big thank you to everyone that will or has supported Mantic during the outbreak, you can currently SAVE 15% on all Mantic products on the site! That’s right, we’re adjusting prices down!

We realise it’s a difficult time at the moment and since the start of the outbreak we’ve been trying to keep you entertained with hobby updates, free rules and the odd deal from Crazy Bobby. We really appreciate all your support during the outbreak. And Ronnie really wanted to say thank you.

Until the end of May there is 15% off all Mantic products. That’s right, as a thank you to everyone for working hard as key worker, dealing with homeschooling, being stuck inside or just being absolutely bored out their mind, you can use the code THANKYOU on the website to get 15% off all Mantic products.

We wanted to give you the heads-up so you have the chance to pick up anything you were looking to add to your collection and make the most of the 15% discount code before it ends on the May 31st. That means this is applicable until the end of the month and to help even more we’ve also currently reduced the free shipping minimum to £25/€30/$50 too.

und etwas ernstere Nachrichten, Mantic sagt alle kommenden Turniere für 2020 ab:

 

Zitat

So, today we wanted to give you an update about some upcoming Mantic tournaments and what we’re planning to do. There’s a lot of uncertainty about what’s going to happen with public gatherings and events, but our main concern is the safety of our players and any Mantic staff. At the moment it looks like social distancing will be here to stay for a while and that just makes tournaments very hard to manage and plan for.

This means we’ve come to the extremely difficult decision to cancel all scheduled future tournaments organised by Mantic. This was a really, really tough decision but we can’t take any risks with your health and wellbeing. We also wanted to announce this sooner rather than later in case you need to cancel travel or hotel arrangements for any tournaments you were planning to attend.

On the flip side, we’ll make sure the tournament scene returns stronger than ever, once social distancing measures have been eased. If there’s an opportunity to arrange tournaments later in the year at HQ, then we’ll definitely look at doing that. 

 

[randis]

Klassisch mantic. Schöne reaktion mit der preissenkung(auch wenn den den rabatt ja schon anderweitig hatten/eine verlängerung solch einer aktion ist aber immer begrüssenswert).

 

Das mit den turnieren ist natürlich doof war aber zu erwarten da ja auch mehrere veröffentlichungen "leise" nach 2021 verschoben wurden. 

(Deadzone containment/ dungeon saga origin etc.)

[Landi]

Kann man denn im Mantic Shop in Pfund bezahlen? Deren Wechselkurs ist ja nen sau schlechter Witz...
