Dammit IdentityZero! Why didn't you make your holiday wish cheaper Canadian shipping?!! Selfish!

I thought that was included in my wish to Kingdom Death Santa!

Oh my... the Dragon King teaser looks fantastic. It must happen.

I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably end up blowing my entire miniature budget for the upcoming year for this kickstarter. And I'm pretty okay with this. 2012 was a good year to quit 40k.

Yeah, I feel where you're coming from Fafnir.

I hope KD stays up long enough to update after we hit 300K in an hour or two!! Would be great to see the Dragon King (Is this THE King???) and the next stretch!

Wow! Only just stumbled upon this and the quality look amazing!

This makes what I spend my christmas money on, so much harder, think it will come down to the stretch goals..............and that huntress *drools*

Just subbing this

The Dragon King Expansion will soon be unlocked - I wonder how much extra this huge beast is going to cost us!

I notice a lot of the miniatures are the "add 15 dollars to your pledge" sort of thing. Is it possible for someone of low funds to, say, pledge a dollar and then tack on the various single miniatures? Is there a minimum donation required to start tacking things on?

Yes and no.

Yes you can just add stuff to a minimum pledge.

No, there is no 1 dollar pledge.

You need a "minimum" pledge. Some Kickstarters have a 1 dollar pledge. This one doesn't. You'll need to do the US$ 10 for the digital art book or the $30 for the artbook and the Adam & Anna Miniatures. From those on, you can add what you like.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply! Honestly, the mini's are so friggen beautiful that i'd love to buy them all. I simply need to find 100+ dollars lying around the house.

@Bolognusus, The tiles are a little prototype I made at home. If there is enough interest maybe I can add them as an option. They were digitally sculpted by the same artist that worked on the white lion and were printed. There are 4 different tiles and I made the board by casting them several times, painting them grey and mounting em to a piece of foam board.

3d board tiles, or a mould to create the tiles, would be an awesome addition to the kickstarter. Consider the idea seconded

I can't imagine the cost for a full 2' x 3' board's worth of them though!

Also - are there pictures of the Adam & Anna Miniatures somewhere?

No, all we've seen of Adam & Anna is the art so far

(oh yes and the Dragon King has fallen, we're just waiting for Adam to arrive and give us a new target & a propper look at the new Shiny)

Yeah, Adam should be happy when he logs in.

On an unrelated note, is there any way to avoid seeing Keegan Kor's commenting on yet another KICKSTARTER?

So he is now above 300k, new images should be up soon.

He just posted some avatars, said he will update everything else today!

I don't think "Keegan Kor" holds any more weight there than anyone else.

Best bet?

Ignore him if he bothers you that much!

It is just too bad there's no actual "Ignore" feature on KS like there is on Dakka Dakka!

It is just me or the whole projected seems to be getting a lot bigger than what he expected and so things seems to be a bit out of control? The delay in posting new stretch goals seems almost like he is trying to pace out the pledges

Is it just me, but whenever I look at the female sculpts for the game, I hear Queen's song, "Fat Bottom Girls" in my head. To me that's not a bad thing.

Wait, are you saying he didn't blithely expect to have the biggest Tabletop Kickstarter in Kickstarter's history on his hands?

No, I don't think he (or anyone) quite expected this to earn US$ 100.000+ per day.

Here's a few lines from the recent Frontline Gamer interview?

FLG: Well at least we’re doing this interview now I guess, which is fortuitous for you as you’re just about to embark on a Kickstarter for your first game set in the Kingdom Death universe, ‘Kingdom Death - Monster’. So how nervous are you about the campaign? You’ve got a pretty high initial target of $50,000’s (this was changed to $35,000's) are you at all worried?

AP: I AM SUPER NERVOUS!

Adam awakes and adds a collection of Kingdom Death : Monster avatar pics for you to choose from

Kind of what I mean is it seems to be clear he is reaching the limit on the stuff he seems to think he can add to the game. Except we still have 40+ days to go... He has been trying to point several times in his posts he is reaching the limit in terms of what he can include, what the manufacturer can produce and so on

Here I am, carefully budgeting for December's Infinity purchases.

And then this happens.

*throws 200 dollars at the internet*

Well... there goes my drinking money this month.

Which is true. But "keeping the crowd entertained" is part of the task one has to do in running a Kickstarter, and doing so for 40+ days is a tall order. So he'll have to do some performance.

That said, I think there's still room to go, not least because we obviously haven't seen that huge king-monster teased at the end of the video. And the Dragon-thingy likely isn't it. I am fairly sure there's a plan for a few more 100K goals up his sleeves.

If that happens, we'll still be OK, but the campaign might slow way down and not hit the projected potential of multiple millions.

Some things he can do is add in 'free' miniatures at the "Survivor" level and above, sprinkled in with more "add this miniature in for $x" type of 'rewards'.

This gets more new backers to commit and also gets already committed backers to increase their pledge.

A tried and true formula.

Plus, with a ship date of a year from now, he should be able to figure it all out IF it is planned well, and it looks like it should be well planned!

@Bolgonesus

Nope, they will hold quite well. Over here I can get 100 1x1mm Neodym magnets for under 15 Euro (incl. shipping) with a strength of at least ND40 which should do just fine. and since they are quite flatt drilling will be quite easy. The only problem is placing them correctly cause they are so small.

I'm pretty sure those comments refer to the bits he can add to the core box. He has mentioned a number of times that there are loads more monsters he wants to add as expansions. I suspect there won't be masses of freebies, but lots of really great expansions with large creatures. I could see some larger expansions that are a creature, plus new armour sets made from bits of said monster... it wouldn't surprise me if the Dragon has a dragon armour set sometime in the future

Is it just me, or does anyone else REALLY have the urge to play Dark Souls?

I know they hold - as long as minis don't get knocked over. I've seen ND50 used at that size and when that guy knocked over a few models, some arms went spinning away; took him quite a while to find everything again. pins don't do that as easily. Still, and again, to each his own. just know that magnets, too, have their disadvantages...

There is going to be Dragon Armour, If you look at the Dragon King stretch goal picture, near the bottom at the dragons feet you can see two silhouette's
of Male and Female characters in armour that has the same "Ring" design on the back, same as the dragon king himself, the armour most likely
comes as part of the expansion.

Is it just me, or does anyone else REALLY have the urge to play Dark Souls?

Ha ha YES!, love the demons souls and dark souls games, in a weird way the whole kill monsters and craft weapons/armour from their remains thing really
reminds me of the Monster Hunter series of games, if you've ever heard of it.

I really want a Maiden in Black miniature now.....
