Love the minis, love Vikings, love Eric Lang's games...

I'm in.

Unless I BLOOOOODRAAAAAAAGEQUITTT partway through obvs.

But I think Eric would need to show up at my house personally, at the head of a raiding party, and burn down my hall and loot all my minis, to make me cancel my pledge at this point.

Hi

Exist a list of the delivery tax , divided for country ?

I interseted in plege this project , but i want know what in go to expend.

OT: Is sufficent a debit card (visa electron circuit ) , or is best use the paypal-like sistem of amazzon?

saluti

There is no customs tax to pay upon delivery, euro orders will be shipped from within the EU (Germany, IIRC).

Kickstarter uses Amazon's payment system to process payments.

Edit: If you mean shipping costs, these will be billed at some point after the KS has ended. It will be approx. $25 for shipping to Italy.

260k Stretch Goal Unlocked! Now raise your axes!

Hail Brothers and Sisters!

The march of doom continues inexorably, claiming yet another Stretch Goal. The exclusive Mystic Troll has been unlocked for all backers!


The next Stretch Goal will complete the fleshing out of the games' tokens:


If we reach 280k, all backers will get the Kickstarter Exclusive sculpted First Player token. With this token, you'll never forget who's supposed to start the round.


But let's not stop here. The Stretch Goal after that will truly make the ground shake!


If we hit 310k, all backers will get the Kickstarter Exclusive Mountain Giant! This fearsome monster comes with its figure and card to add to your Age 1 deck. The Mountain Giant is a true behemoth, but since it counts as a Leader, it can Invade for free, and even benefit from Leader Upgrades you add to your clan!



Please note that the pictures of the miniatures shown here of the Mountain Giant, and the Mystic Troll from the previous Stretch Goal, are from the actual master sculptures, not the plastic reproductions.

For the glory!

Token is, like the other tokens, pretty lousy.
But hell yeah that giant is awesome

Kickstarter no longer uses Amazon payments you now enter your card card details directly to your account and it's charged directly to your card ( using Stripe)

That giant looks great.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the info.

Yeah, The giant looks really good. It's interesting that there is a disclaimer about how the image is of a master and not the plastic version.

Or do they state that for all of the images shown?

Just for the Mountain Giant and Mystic Troll - I think!

Yep they aren't tooled yet so they have shown the sculpts in black and white (you can see the skulls are a different colour as Jason cast a load up in resin for this project) if it has a black base it's a master/sculpt, grey is a production miniature.

In case anyone was wondering the expected MSRP on the base game is $80

The Conan campaign by Monolith showed beautiful resin with the promise that "they will look awesome in plastic as well", here we've seen most of the starting content in plastic, and it's looking pretty damn spiffy. It makes all the difference in the world I think. So far I'm pretty impressed by Blood Rage, this last troll and the giant look great, and knowing how good the other big monsters turned out in plastic inspires confidence.

Yeah, all of the plastic production models that they have shown so far look great.

"This guy who has two ravens on his shoulders, a mighty spear and who miiight be modelled after Odin himself? Yeah, he's a grunt and you get 8, wait, 4 of him. Four little All-Fathers for you."

Weird stuff.

Regarding add-ons or late SGs, people are hoping for a fifth clan, but what could a fifth clan's theme even be? The only other fitting European "animals" I can think of would be eagles and dragons, the latter being pretty much the Serpent clan already. Maybe boars, but those aren't predators or mythological (even though they're tough bastards). "I'm from Clan Badger" doesn't sound very heroic or intimidating, so that won't be it, either. Lynx clan?

There's art of warriors from each clan, with possible Ram and Boar clans included.

So, how many CMON KS 'exclusives' do you think we will see by the end of this project?

I wish they would have done sculpts of the various Norse Gods for use as the tokens instead of the lack luster tokens they have come up with so far. The miniatures are great over all, but the tokens are mediocre at best.

The game allows them to get the minis into distribution easily and will help those minis sell at retail more easily as well. Without the game the minis are a novelty and that limits their possible market share......As odd as that is it is true.

And the Giant's head is too large for it's body. It loses the sense of scale that shoudl be obvious.

I think the head size comes down to preference, I like it the way it is.

The sense of scale is reinforced pretty well by the human skulls attached to the body, no?

I think the head is fine too.

But I'm just an uneducated gamer pleb and not an amazing uber-leet sculptor in the industry, so what do I know?

The minis will all be coming from the same place, so I don't think its inappropriate to state that if you're comfortable with what you're seeing here, you're probably going to be happy with what you'll get with Conan.

I think a few of us tried to mention that in the Conan thread, to no avail......

--I'm also fine with the toll head. I'm okay with some things being stylized. It was actually one of the major appeals for me with all the Rackham Tir-Na-Bor and Mid-Nor dorfs.

I certainly did love those 2 Confrontation factions too - good comparison there!

I like the new troll sculpt. The head is big, but I still think it looks good.

And for what it's worth, personally, I think $75 is a great deal for the models alone. I think the sculpts are on par with GW quality and compared to GW prices model for model $75 is pretty cheap, and will be even cheaper online when it hits retail. I'm already thinking of using the models for a viking chaos warrior type of army for WFB if they don't destroy the game in the next version.

Thanks. Using looots of zoom on my phone I can spot a boar emblem on a shield in a pic in the "Story" section, where can I find the Ram clan? Boars are the best, though, my former hometown's heraldic crest had a boar, my BB Orc team recruits from the Boarhide Tribe and scratching a boars nose with a sharp stick until it grunts in satisfaction and plops down on his side to get scratched all over is just great fun for everyone involved. As long as you're doing it through a fence and those monsters can't actually get close and bite you hand off

no elitism here. Just a fan like everybody else. Opinions....everybody has them.

Just when I thought I wouldn't be buying any add-ons...

they should really sell those miniatures for 5$ each... I mean I'd easily paint a whole army of Vikings (Kings of War) out of them.
3 or 4 regiments with mages, undead support troops, valkeries, giants, trolls, OH MY GOD.

KS now requires some sort of disclaimer note when creators show non-production images.

Previously, KS had allowed pictures of fake things that were rendered beautifully and presented as "real" things for purchase, and then reality crashed in when the product didn't match the promise. I think it's a good change.

I can pass on the 5th player expansion trying to keep this low cost.

Super lovely miniatures! The giant in particular is really, really nice!

Not interested in the game itself so will be leaving this one alone.

Did they ever do a minis only pledge for Zombicide or any other Cmon kickstarters at all?

On the miniatures games. Not the board games.

No, but the core game had tons of miniatures and the stretch goals added a lot of value to that $100 pledge all three times. This is starting to take a bit better shape, but it's still not quite at that perfect sweet spot where minis-only pledgers will bite. I'd say make your decision in the last day or two for this campaign if you want minis-only.

Hopefully, they don't add a sixth player box for another $30, or if they do they'll do a buy-2-discount for both of them.

For now, I've held off on adding to my pledge.
