The dwarf looks like a rabid homeless man.

Or a hobbit with botched plastic surgery.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

He's supposed to be a "Monster", right?

He's supposed to be on par with the other Monsters choices, right?




I'm having some trouble seeing how he matches up any of the "bigatures". Or even the Witch / Valkyrie.

sightly off topic

couple of users are "ignored" out of the blue on this thread.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I am pretty excited about this project now. Savage, serious business Adrian Smith vikings are very tasty, and that is a lot of models for the price. Throw in a game designed by the guy who did Chaos in the Old World, and I am in!

Yeah, the dwarf isn't as impressive as the bigatures - is that a thing now? - but he's very creepy, like a feral Umpa Lumpa, and that gives it some monster cred.

Edit: Also, off-topic, how do we check if anyone's on ignore? Never done it so wouldn't know if I'm having the same issue as Piston Honda.

Yeah, the little guy is pretty creepy.

All posts are ignored by the xenomorph avatar and the large Asian milk tanks.

the hell?

When someone ignores you, it shows you that they ignored you? Well that is interesting. I know if I put someone on Ignore they show up under my Username Profile, but if someone else ignores me does it also show up there?

I haven't ignored Piston Honda but apparently I'm one of the guys he's referring to (xenomorph avatar).

Weird.

Same, I'm not ignoring PH either.

Maybe someone got a little click-happy with the [Ignore] button?

I get that way in the OT gun threads

How the hell have you not ignored me then

Because you don't talk bollocks and you're useful elsewhere

Back on topic, please, you can continue the "ignore features" discussion in Nuts & Bolts if you like (just for reference, no, someone cannot see that you have ignored them... unless you tell them, of course ).

Back to Blood Rage!

Alt sculpts should be done with by morning, then onto more interesting things!

Someone said there was a FB post by CMON stating no add-ons for this project, though Thiago would not confirm when I asked him about it...

No add ons would be a first, at least for CMON. Everything they've done has had them. Drive's the $$$ up after all.

Interesting to see if that plays out.

As long as we see a Midgard Serpent and Fenrir before all is done, I'll be a happy camper. They'd be great for the 3rd age.

Growing up reading the old Walt Simonson Thor comics, Ymir would be cool too. Be pretty hot if we could see Surtur somehow involved as well.

Unless the current giants we have are supposed to represent them.... hmm....

Don't forget Sleipnir!

I'd like to see Draugrs, and an adventurer with an arrow stuck in his knee.

Am I missing where they showed what the standard troop figure for each clan is aside form the ones that have just been unlocked as the alternate scuplts?

Is it that you get a Lord and the standard bearer is the other troop figure? So now you would have the Lord and half of your figures being the standard bearer and half being the just unlocked figure?

I cant see any images of stock warriors on the main KS page.

Standard bearer is the leader, other one is the normal trooper.

Cmon really has this down to a science now. I'd be surprised if there were no add-ons since that would be the first time that's happened but it's interesting to see them basically use the opening days excitement on mediocre or meh stretches so that they can use the more exciting items in the normal lag periods. We'll see how this goes. Honestly, unlike some of the other individual boardgames they've done, I'm interested in this.

I don't know, the stretch goals so far are really lacking.

Sculpt variety is nice, but it appears that this will be something that is added to the retail game as well. Nothing mentions it being kickstarter exclusive and the models are not extra's. The latest stretch goal of the saga token is something I feel I could sculpt in less than an hour with no sculpting experience.

There is nothing so far for me to recommend to people over waiting for retail.

I think that's kinda the point. The stuff that would normally slow down the campaign is being knocked out in the initial rush that any Cmon campaign gets. Allowing the more exciting/value items to be added during the slower times. Most people will go in on a CMoN campaign knowing that the value will be solid by the end of the campaign. Not ridiculously amazing on all of them but normally well worth the pre-order cost.

By the end of the campaign I am betting that the core box will contain 48 unique sculpts. 9 uniques per faction and 12 " monster " allies.

Okay, these are BY FAR the weakest stretch goals in the history of coolminiornot projects.

For 100,000$ the box got 3 minis and 3 cards + 2 plastic tokens.

For 100,000$

Good thing you don't have to pay a penny more for them then, right?

As with any project, back it based on the original content. If you're backing it based on some illusionary SGs that you're counting on happening then you're bound to be disappointed while they get through the initial "alt-sculpt/token phase".

Stretch goals are fine, I think the way the game is set up does not warrant a horde of character expansions like zombicide does.

This is KS is more attractive for it. I know I won't be spending more money on character expansions than the actual game itself. It was starting to feel like DLCs for vidya games.

Ronin is rolling some big numbers on that Blood Rage table!

I think we'll see the value when all is said and done- it's just the way CMON rolls.

I like the idea of knocking all the boring stretches early, leaving the cool stuff pushing more people to back.

We'll see how it goes.

My hope is for giants add ons. I'm sure a few people interested in just minis would end up snagging large figures if they're of similar quality as the ones we've already seen.

It's a ~100$ game for any european. That price is quite high and those SG are in no way enough to warrent a support of this game.
