I saw this in the rules
III. If a Unit is comprised of multi-wound figures, then where possible wounds must be
assigned to figures which have already been damaged before figures which are
unhurt.
Are special characters exempt from this rule? because of this i would never shift wounds to my special character even if he had some kind of heal rule, because of this my special character must take the wounds. (again something that happened in the beast of war video)

The Breaching Team looks awesome! Can't wait to figure out how I"m going to paint them.
Joel, I've been meaning to ask, will we be able to add-on during the pledge manager? I'd like to put more in, but at the moment I can't. I'd love to add on for more Wardrones and support Tracers later on, if possible.

The Assault Specialists are awesome! I may have to up my pledge to get 2 units.... Really liking those sculpts, full of character, and the intent is obvious too. They really look like they are intended for brutal CQB combat. Also like the level of redundancy in the unit too- they have 3 different breaching tools if necessary, and one of them doesn't run out of ammo

Morning Everyone!
@Gasmask Nook - Im sorry if it wasnt clear - but we dont intend to charge anything for the basic rules as a PDF download.
All the rules, stats and missions will be freely available, so people can try out the game before they invest in the miniatures.
We will be releasing a printed rules/background book in the future which will obviously have to cost money.
@Jehan - Most characters will only have 1 wound anyway, but you are right that does need to be clarified, I will probably alter it so Characters are immune to that rule.
@Barzam - Thanks, and absolutely yes you will be able to grab more add-ons at KS prices after the project ends, assuming it funds.
@Tremble - Thanks very much, I like exceeding peoples expectations.
@Haigus - dont forget about their steel-capped boots.. that's a 4th breaching tool right there :p

I haven't really been after infantry, but those are the best yet, imo! I feel like if there was a whole squad of 10's worth of options, you'd make a killing for use in other games, as well. Very nice!

Thanks very much! I'll be painting up a Unit of these guys for sure, even if its the only thing from this KS I manage to get painted!
Here is the Kickstarter Exclusive Miniature - Ellenor Renard, as painted by Dwartist -
We are pretty seriously impressed! Dwartist tells me this is about 12-15 hours work on one figure.
More of his work here-

Another KS update later today!

So jelly of Dwartist. He could paint a Happy Meal toy and it'd look like the most amazing thing ever put on the planet.
Man, your project is down to the wire and less than 8k from funding. You can do it

Hadn't been watching the progress, but things look quite good actually - 22.5K with four and a half days to go. I think it will make it!

Liking the new Pulse. The arm thing is funky, but kind of cool. I'm hoping we'll see a four armed one at some point (preferably with those extra arms being gun arms).
Regarding the desire for input, I have a couple suggestions. First would he to raise the launchers a bit higher onto his back. As they are, they can only fire directly up. In a heavily urban environment, that may not be the best thing to do. If they are higher, they'd have room to angle forward as well as upwards, giving the missiles a greater arc of fire.
the second suggestion, maybe provide some stabilizer legs that can fold out of the backpack? Or an alternate anti-tank cannon variant wih the fold out stabilizers.
Edit - A thought occurred to me. Consider having an alternative top to the missile launchers that has the missiles covered with a retractable hatch. Seeing as the Fire Support Pulse suit still carries a rail gun and an SMG, there's clearly an expectation that this guy would wind up getting shot at. Having the missile's tops exposed like that in the middle of a firefight with likely armor piercing rounds and whatnot going around, there's a good likelihood of those things getting hit. Having them covered during transportation would make a lot of sense. Having closed and open launchers can also provide the owner with some customization potential as well.

@Mlaw and Ritides - Yep its looking like it will go down to the wire, I'm hopeful it will fund but cant get complacent.
@Barzam - Thanks for the feedback. Im going to rework this one, including more movable missile pods, and probably a triangle design with 3 missiles.
The missile pods will be separate, so in theory could make other weapons for the same base model- shoulder mounted cannons for example.
I would image the tops of the missiles contain mostly sensors/targetters. while the explosive charge is entirely contained within the launcher for protection.
The railgun and SMG are just back up weapons really, as once all the missiles are gone I imagine the pilot would jettison the launchers and continue fighting as a regular Pulse Mech..

Evening all,
Very nice Dwartist!
Some more updates from the KS attached.
The two pulse mechs are included with all Pledges "Shard Strike" (£100) or higher. The APC is included in the CATACLYSM pledge, and may be available to other backers at a KS price, if we are able to manufacture it how I am hoping to.

Apologies if this has already been asked/answered...
1) If we pledge £1 now, will we be able to increase it later via a Pledge Manager?
2) If yes, will all the minis be available for purchase, including 'exclusives'?
3) If yes, will be be able to select a higher pledge level in the Pledge Manager?
I am seriously tempted!
Thanks!

Update #17: CQB Pattern Goliath Preview! ( WIP)
1 comment
4 likes
Evening Backers,
I've been working on this brutal machine all day, still need to refine the weapons and repose it to be leaning into an aggressive forward stride/run. Feedback very welcome!
CQB Modifications -
Extra armour on the rear power plant.
Fully enclosed and sealed "turret" style helmet - no weak points.
Forward facing fragmentation mines.(also going to put these on the outside of its hips)
6 barrelled "Hellstorm" Grenade Launcher
Thermal Lance (Basically a giant cutting lance - see the fuel rods and gas tank on the back) with integrated demolition hammer.
Dont let it get close!
FREE with cataclysm, otherwise £12 Add-On.
The weapons and head from this Goliath will be fully swappable with the existing Goliath.
Ill post up the finished version tommorow!
Thanks
Joel
Nobody's posted this little beauty yet, I see. Damn Joel. Just damn. That thing looks amazing!

My thought exactly - while I like most of the other designs, the Goliath is IMO not fitting the rest of the designs.

Morning everyone,
2 and a half days to go and we need a boost of another £5k or so, really hoping we can do this!
@Jehan - Thanks, nice robocop there... I think the Wardrones have slightly better programming than that!
The Goliath does look a bit like a Killer Kan - only so many ways to put a humanoid figure in an armoured box!
I am going to be adjusting the head covering to be slightly squarer profiled which will modernise the design a bit.
@AAN - Quite a few of the Republic Radoni Corp units are based on modifed industrial designs, in this case I imagine it was some kind of drilling/mining/cargo lifting rig which they have weaponised.
@Vertrucio -
Yeah its a .Blend > .OBJ imported straight into Zbrush, it does funny things sometimes.

@Alpharius-
Im sorry I did answer your question above but addressed the answer to RiTides, I dont know why. -
Yes you will be able to add any amount post KS, and upgrade to any pledge level, including access to the exclusive mini if eligible.
BUT- that's only if we fund, and at the moment that's far from guaranteed, so anything you are able to pledge before the end is helpful in getting us over the line!
----------------
A really awesome offer for anyone pledging over £100 -
Your chance to WIN one of five miniatures painted by Dwartist!
You seen Dwartists paint work on our miniatures above in this thread.
Yesterday he made a very special "money cant buy it" offer to help get this KS project funded.
After the KS ends, all backers who have pledged £100 or more will be entered into a draw to win one of five chances to have a miniature from their pledge painted by Dwartist!
At the moment, that means pledgers over £100 have a 1 in 28 chance of winning this amazing prize, which is pretty great odds!
See further details in project update 18

Almost there.
If I were to win, I'm not sure what I'd have Dwartist paint up. Probably one of the characters. I'm thinking the Council Guard character maybe.
