Greetings to all,
Received a shipment of Sky Relics a few days ago and wanted to share.
I'll start of by saying I was concerned about this this coming in since I backed the project on the 3rd attempt and It took some time for this to come close to completion. However this shipment
was not the kickstarter Core Set. This was an additional set I purchased from the Sky Relics store. SO yes, I haven't yet received the kickstarter set yet but they are selling and shipping sets out now.
Packaging:
Appear to be made by the Sky Relic's team, It's a flat card stock that was hand folded and plastic wrapped. Good thing with the plastic wrap as the flaps was loose. Not a huge issue as I'm sure it's more cost effective. However the data cards are made from the same stock and hand cut, so none of them are the same size or square.
Minis:
Below is the set of 3 on top, the bottom 2 was extra and came with a thank you for the order. Again It's great that they did that, but I'm a backer without the Kickstarter set yet...
- Quality, I don't work with a lot of resin. Injected and metal here with the only resin being from the Dystopian line. So I looked these over and didn't get a warm fuzzy, again Not an expert on resin, so maybe someone here can look and give a qualified eval. What I did see was several places that looked "Smugged" and bent. Several parts was not straight. I know Reapers bone line can be fixed with some hot water, but any fix to bent resin? Photos below.
Stands:
The bases are what looks to be flexible black rubber with a clear plastic rod (Seen above). The small ships will have no issues, but larger ones seem to be a tad unstable. The directions in the box stated to use shorter rods for large ships but all the rods are the same so you will have to cut them down.
Overall this is a start up company, I had hoped for fairly clean miniatures but this wasn't the case. I would also love to be able to go over the rules but until I get the Core set sent to me that will have to wait.
