Foaming at the mouth
The DreadBall figures are some of the best we’ve ever produced and we know you’ll want to keep them safe, so we’ve hooked up with Romeo and the great guys at Battle Foam to produce a new custom foam tray for DreadBall!
This DreadBall Foam Tray kit fits the high quality card box that the game comes in meaning you can protect all of your painted teams, pitch, cards and counters and store them safely back in the box to transport it around.
Please note that these items are big! Please add $15 for shipping per item if you are adding them to your pledge.
We’ve also added the Mantic Battle Foam Bag to the extras which also contains three trays of custom DreadBall foam as well as regular sheets to keep all of your miniatures safe!
EDIT! Romeo has just emailed us to let us know that the trays for the DreadBall Box holds 83 miniatures, the cards, the dice and the tokens! Both the MDF and Acrylic Hexboards fit in the Battle Foam Bag.
On the Limit
DreadBall has been moving quickly - the backer number continues to rise and we're just about to go past our previous high on Kings of War.
We always expected this Kickstarter to be bigger, but with pre-orders coming in and the momentum building, we want to manage everyone's expectations.
We're currently hunting down Nightshade as our $282,500 Stretch!
We are rapidly approaching the end of our first print run and to make absolutely certain that we deliver on all of our promises we've put some caps on the Jack and Striker levels - the two most popular levels for new backers - to ensure that we can meet demand and guarantee that these all ship in time for Christmas. All uncapped pledges (for instance Guard and Cheerleader) are also guaranteed to arrive before Christmas - we're just conscious of the increasing levels we're seeing!
If you've got mates that are looking at this game and are thinking about it, please let them know that know is the time to get in on this once-in-a-lifetime offer!

Creator Mark Kethlaor on October 3, 2012
Just in case anyone else needed the answer, I got a reply back from Mantic about the bag...
Hi Mark
Thanks for getting in touch!
We haven't 100% finalised the contents of the bag yet, as we want to ensure that we can fit as many DreadBall miniatures into it as possible, but the current plan is seven layers of foam in total. Three of these are DreadBall specific, so are designed to take the cards, counters and dice as well as the players from the boxed game. The rest will be standard Battle Foam trays which can take all manner of miniatures. The total capacity for the bag is 150-200 miniatures :-).
Thanks
Stewart
Creator Prouddaddy0312 on September 19, 2012
keep the regular foot but the b option for the hands are much better than the basic concept
Creator Paul L on September 19, 2012
Can we have a conformation of what's in the Bag ie 3 or 6 trays, and how many figures, I see it will hold the Hex/acrylic Boards but what about the main board, cards dice tokens?
As I'm trying to decide whether to buy two lots of trays for the 2 game boxes were ordering or one bag. Also is it $15 per set of trays for UK postage?
I'd like to see the Dreadball logo on the bag where the Mantic logo is with a smaller Mantic logo on the front pouch bit.
Creator Gregory Booth on September 19, 2012
@Marian, I could be wrong, but I read that as 3 trays of "custom" foam and 3 trays of "regular" foam. They used the word sheets at the end, but I think they meant trays.
Creator Marian Bohacik on September 19, 2012
There should be 6 trays in the Mantic bag, or I'm reading it false? (It seems like regular Warpath bag which has 6 trays of foam)
Quote:
"Mantic Battle Foam Bag to the extras which also contains three trays of custom DreadBall foam as well as regular sheets"
Creator Martin Hall on September 19, 2012
In terms of arriving, do we know when the shirts will be getting made? Are they are 2012 or 2013 thing?
Creator Peter McAndrew on September 19, 2012
Judging by the pictures, it looks like 3 trays in the bag, each tray holding roughly half what the other trays hold. I'd guess around 60 minis held by the bag.
Creator Lee Lowe on September 19, 2012
Lol
Creator crveatch on September 19, 2012
Screw foam where's the 295K goal?
Creator Poul Erik Holmelund on September 19, 2012
In the effort of makeing this sound like the echovalley:
How many miniatures wil the Bag hold? I understood the tray is able to hold 83, but is the amount for the bag higher?
Creator Darkson on September 18, 2012
@Robert Wheeler I am the other Darkson on TFTT.
Creator Alex Wreschnig on September 18, 2012
I'm also curious about how much the bag holds. Looks like it holds less than the trays for the box, but if it's the same, then I may be in for one...
Creator Ben Thornton on September 18, 2012
Don't worry about question 2 and 3. I figured it out.
Creator Sining on September 18, 2012
Gliblit, I see you're here too >_<
Creator Ben Thornton on September 18, 2012
I have a couple of questions too.
1. The update says the trays for the box hold 83 miniatures. Is that the same for the bag? Or does it hold more as there are 3 trays?
2. What do you mean by caps on jack and striker pledges?
3. I have made the showboater pledge. Is that capped?
Creator Gliblit on September 18, 2012
Some one go knock on mantic's door
Creator Robert Wheeler on September 18, 2012
@Darkson Are you the same Darkson that is on tff?
Creator Robert Wheeler on September 18, 2012
We've gone past the 282,500 goal by almost 1,000, but the Brits are asleep. I'll have to wait until I wake up tomorrow to see what they come up with next. ;)
Creator Darkson on September 18, 2012
Mantic please post the next few goals as we are smoking through them quicker than you can post updates.
Creator Robert Wheeler on September 18, 2012
65 for the bag plus 15 for S&H equals 80 total. At least that's how I read it, and changed my pledge accordingly. :)
Creator Sining on September 18, 2012
so if I wanted to get the bag, I would add 80 for international shipping?
Creator Jeremey H. on September 18, 2012
Arg! Looks like I'll have to up my pledge again to include the foam and more hexes!!!
Keep the goodies rolling!

Creator ray bans on September 18, 2012
I will not be getting a bag, UNLESS it has DreadBall Written/printed on it.
I don't mind ordering a bag/foam after the kickstarter and my bank account has had a month or two to recover
Creator Anton Kuchman on September 18, 2012
@Mantic-approximately how many models fit into either of the two storage solutions?
Creator Joseph on September 18, 2012
Wiill the trays be available from battle foam at a later date? The shipping might be cheaper here stateside to pick them up later...
Creator Robert Wheeler on September 18, 2012
Adding the Battle Foam bag got me excited. I'm upping my pledge again. The Dreadball logo would be cool, but I don't think that will happen
Creator Lee on September 18, 2012
Will the regular DreadBall board fold to fit the Mantic bag somewhere too?
Creator Jason Jackowski on September 18, 2012
+1 on Dreadball logo
Creator Adán Tejada on September 18, 2012
That's pretty cheap for a BF bag! Dang it!! I promised my wife I would slow down on this stuff...
Creator Russell Castronovo on September 18, 2012
Promoting Battle Foam is not the way to attract me or get me excited. Quite the reverse.
Creator Andy Brandt on September 18, 2012
I'd definitely be more inclined to get the Battlefoam bag if it had the Dreadball logo on it.
Creator Liam Hall on September 18, 2012
Forget battle foam I'll be taking my stuff to KR
Creator Robin Lees on September 18, 2012
Will the game board, (and arcylic board- with extras) fit in the Mantic game bag?
Creator Carmen on September 18, 2012
Just a minor question: How thick/tall are the trays? Are they 1 inch/25mm (to fit the hex bases) or are they 15mm (to fit the original integral bases)?
Creator Peder Bergenwall on September 18, 2012
So, the trays that fit the box are $35 + extra shipping? Am I reading this correctly?
Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on September 18, 2012
You think that's bad? I started at $40, I'm now at over $300 xD Though that may be coming down, a bit ...
Creator soulchief on September 18, 2012
Guess ill have to up my $1 pledge to $150 now :P Was going to wait so I don't have to keep changing it.
Creator Bolognesus on September 18, 2012
so once they'll fill up, there will be more of the same, at the same price, just not guaranteed to ship this side of christmas?
