Just wondering if it would be possible to make public as many hidden units as possible before the shapeways sales next month?
Some minis are appearing but are they in the deck?
That's a good point. In fact, we are accelerating reveals now that we are coming close to the finish line. I can ask the guys to prioritize "new sculpts" in the reveals for awhile.
Thanks.

I have discussed the pace of progress on this project with and development team and let them know that at the current pace of one card completed per month it will take four more years to complete this deck! We are not sure what happened to ticat1. I do know that he was having personal issues about a year ago. So I have spent the last couple of months working on getting all the cards that were "in process" rounded up and moving to completion. The development team has decided it wants to try to get the deck completed by early December. That means completing two cards per week (all the way to locked and posted) between the "open list" and the "dev team" list by that time. So if you guys can step up again and start monitoring this thread and help with the cards including through the review and proofing steps it would be greatly appreciated. It is a stretch goal, but I think everyone is ready to see this project wrap up.
I admit I was in no hurry to work on this deck when it started, but it has definitely "grown on me" and I think there are some very exciting cards already to add to the game, and a lot of potential with the remaining list of cards to be made.
Note that I have a hard time juggling too many open cards at once, so I will be posting new startup threads as we complete existing cards.
Thanks in advance and have fun!

Thanks for the update and the teams work pushing through with this.
I don't know the in's and out's but seems to me a similar thing happened last deck regards deck/team leader? I remember when this latest deck was discussed in the initial stages, it was mentioned about hopefully not replicating the time lapse's of the previous but these thing happen. I do think what we got last deck in the end though was very good and although the big unit choices might not have been available like in the initial decks, I'd argue the content was as strong as any and this latest I agree, is shaping up to be as good again from what I can see.
Ticat1's passion for the game is obvious to all who have been around a while, so hopefully he will be back.
Considering the push, the play tester forum is getting a lot of updates. If you are a play tester, please head over to the private forum and take a look at the units. Your input and testing of the units is valued.

Deck update. The printer has printed both decks. They are now in the bindery where they are cut, collated into decks (but not in numerical order which costs extra), and wrapped. He said that is the longest part of the process. I know they have to let the cards dry for a few days too. He said they should be mailing them out to me by the end of next week.
That means I will get them in about two weeks. Then I will mail out the Australian supply. And then we can start taking pre-orders. Shipping will likely start about two to three weeks later.

You will be able to buy the decks from Rival Sky. However, the decks are still in transit from me to Rival Sky in Australia. I mailed them a month ago and they still haven't arrived. Pandemic I assume.
