Epic Warpath pledges shipping next week

[Dubren]

So today we received confirmation Epic Warpath pledges will start shipping next week.
Some points of info:
-There are still items incoming from the factory, so they will start with the pledges for the items they already have.
-Their aim is to ship everything by the end of August.
-The STL files will be released AFTER the physical copies have been shipped, they will be delivered via the Mantic Vault. They are working on the setup to support this release.
-If you pledged to the STL Files but are not subscribed to the Mantic Vault no need to worry your eligible files will be made available to you, no extra cost.
-Some retailers will have advanced pre-orders up but they will only receive their stock AFTER all pledges have been shipped.

• A word from costumer services:
  “As we roll out fulfilment over the coming weeks, we kindly ask that you please wait until after we’ve finished shipping Epic Warpath before contacting customer services to ask when we’ll be shipping your pledge. We promise—we haven’t forgotten you! ”
  -There is video content incoming. Three staff members their painted armies were shown of, each with one of the Super Heavies. Armies shown were Asterians, Nameless and GCPS.

After what seems like a slight delay the first pledges have officially been shipped.
-Tracking numbers will be send via DHL or UPS, depended on location. So check your inbox and spam folders
-Smaller and simpler pledges go first, some components are still arriving from the factory. As soon as those arrive larger ones will be send.
-For narrative lovers the Story Anthology: The Phrovox Engima has also arrived.

They also showed off the first sprues for the Asterians and Veer-Myn

Next sprues they will show are the GCPS and Marauders.

Update on the shipping.

Due to the changes in US tariffs US backers will get priority, their statement on the situation and plan is as following:

"The De Minimis Exemption from US tariffs (for customers ordering goods valued at less than $800 ) was scheduled to end on the 1st July 2027. That has now been brought forward to the 29th August 2025.

This is right in the middle of our shipping window - so what can we do about it?

Simply put we’re going to prioritise US orders wherever possible to get as much as humanly possible shipped by the 29th August. This plan breaks down into three phases.

Phase One (US): Firstly for the smaller pledges we can ship complete now, we’re bumping US backers to the front of the queue. (Sorry everyone else, but under the circumstances it’s the right thing to do).

For larger pledges where we are still waiting on components we are going to ship everything we possibly can before the end-of-exemption date - this will be at least 80% of the total pledge, with all the game components, and 6+ plastic armies and 4+ resin upgrades. This means that we will have to find a way to deal with split-shipping the last small part of your pledge. We will do this later on, once the post-tariff situation has become clear.

Phase Two (UK & Mainland Europe): Then we’ll send complete pledges to ALL backers from UK & Mainland Europe, and Rest of the World. We anticipate this will be early September, and we are simply switching the order we ship from by army, to a regionally focused solution.

Phase Three (US): We’ll asses the tariff situation and work with backers to find the easiest/cheapest/most certain way to fulfil any remaining items for US orders where split-shipping was required."

Kind of irritating but I totally understand why they made this choice.

In other news quite a lot of Resin has made their way over at Mantic HQ

And we got our first look at the GCPS sprue.
God I hope to one day see a Lancer for Firefight.

Also for those interested on the 18th of September, at 6pm (BST) they will have a Live “Ask us anything” video about Epic Warpath.

Looks great.

I am a bit worried about the resin because of the possible amount of airbubbles but it is good to see most of the reinforcements are done with the Mastercraft.

If I may offer some criticism try to get a clearer shot, maybe go a bit slower when showing off the whole frame or assembled model.
I do like that you pause so show how thick some material is or to allow people to drink in the detail.

Now I wait for my email to receive the shipping confirmation, the wait is agony.

Update on shipping:

GCPS and Marauder Core Armies, Faction Dice, and the Reinforcement Sets for Asterians, Nameless, Veer-Myn, GCPS, and Marauders. have not been shipped yet, some components are still coming in.

First Sprues of Marauders

Epic Warpath is now in Beta on the Companion App.

STL files should be available to backers, check the ‘your packs’ section of your account

[Cartwright]

My shipment arrived yesterday. Enforcers, Plague, Veermyn. Marauders will come as a second shipment.

For painting, what’s the consensus? Base first and paint as a unit? Or paint individually and base at the end? This is a new scale and style for me to work with.

[Cartwright]

Stupid question:

Is there somewhere to see which minis align with which units? I’m not familiar with the warpath universe at all, and it isn’t clear which veermyn is a brood guard vs a stalker vs a crawler, E.g..

[Gerrcinn]

[Gerrcinn]

@Cartwright the first set in the picture are all on the hard plastic sprue which are lettered and numbered A1, A2, A3… are a unit type and C1, C2, etc are the other, when it comes ot hte brood guard and the like they’re not a hard plastic so you should be able to spot them in the reinforcements box easily same with the creepers

[Cartwright]

Thank you! Are those from the kick starter page? I looked but didn’t see them there.

[Gerrcinn]

yeah you have to scroll on down on the main campaign page to get it

[Boss_Salvage]

A while back they said they were working on faction one-pagers and gave this sample:

(ignore the blue numbers, that’s me working out how many units that comes out to be)

They’re pretty great! I asked on KS when/if there are coming out, haven’t heard back yet.

[Dubren]

Rather coincidental they have today announced you can view and download the ‘build guides’ on this page.

Mantic Build Instructions

You can find it under the Deadzone/firefight section.

However currently only the Asterians, Enforcers, Forge Fathers and Plague are up with the rest coming later.

[Dubren]

So currently they are busy updating some of the STL files since there were some issues with scaling for some units . For the updated files simply go to “My Packs”, the file with V2 at the end is the new file. These will be send later today or tonight.

A word from then on the US pledges.

“We’re pleased to say that our US pledges are now shipping again, along with all other regions! We will be shipping pledges whole as now have all component parts in, and will be covering the tariff fees for you. All packages will have the relevant paperwork required to comply with customs rules, so we hope this provides as painless of a process we can provide!

After we’ve shipped those whole orders which will be over the next week or two, we will send out the remaining orders that have GCPS or Veer-Myn Reinforcements due.

Shortly after these ship we will move onto the second shipments for those who are waiting for more products to arrive. Don’t worry if you are unsure, we have a record of who is due more stock! You can always head to the Pledge Manager to review your full orders if you want to check what is still due. “

I passed on the original Kickstarter, dissapointed, there was no fully digital pledge. Seems like Mantic has me covered again! Thanks, Mantic!
