Pic of the 28mm Crusader with a couple of Dread knights, from earlier in this thread.

Go to Pins of War. He has a nice picture of a Crusader, a Dreadnaught, a Reaver and a monstrosity... erm, I mean an Imperator Titan.

Still no news on the 'any arm' at $100k?

I think he might be locking in via manufacturing for that extra Vulkan arm.

I was thinking though, if we do reach above 100K, couldn't some of these extra stretch goals be free extra arms, or a free extra arm for those who bought one already? It would limit the amount of CAD Mark has to do to keep the gibbering hordes at bay. (Myself included, mind you)

Still no news on the 'any arm' at $100k?

I suspect this will not happen. He made more options like many asked for. However to make more molds takes more money. I doubt reaching the 100k level will mean he has recouped enough of them to allow that.

Krinsath- And all those comparisons are done using the base price. If you get 3 infantry boxes, for example, the price drops to under $30 per box!

Makaleth- I think Mark confirmed in the comments section of the KS that it's just going to be the left-hand Vulcan for free at $100K. However, he is going to try to have it shipped along with the stage 1 items- so folks can field a dual-wielding Crusader right away if he can work it out.

Mathieu- If we pass $100K, I had better well see an infantry stretch! (I.e. Command or APC) I'm being patient here... really

Also, I forgot to respond to this:

Well now we know where all those limited edition crusaders went too. I was about to get one but they must have already been sent to RiTides house!

The answer to your question is: "Yes"

Hi canuckish, this is the 28mm crusader:



and this is the 15mm (though the plastic model is in fact 1" shorter than this resin one):

*Edited*

Sorry to anyone who read the original post. Trying really hard not to be the devil's advocate, I'm just a concerned backer and I want Dreamforge to do well.

Just one note: Be very careful when comparing these model's prices to GWs. We already know they absolutely insane so they are not a good yardstick, they just happen to be the big dogs in the yard and can get away with it.

Hey guys: I'm considering making a $20 pledge (money is tight), and I have a quick question: What all will I get with a $20 pledge? I know that I will get a 10-man rifle squad + a free feral Shadokesh, but is there anything I missed?

Cheers!

_Tim?

Tim, that's it for $20... but if you can swing the $39 level, you'd get the accessory pack (which costs $10 to purchase separately on the kickstarter) as well.

So, $20 = 10 infantry, free Shadokesh handler and monster thing
And, $39 = 20 infantry, free Shadokesh handler and monster thing, free accessory pack for infantry

Either one are pretty good choices, I think, just wanted to show you the level where the next "freebie" comes in

Today was the second biggest day of pledges, but with a relatively low number of new backers. Update #19 has me thinking hard and coming up blank. Might be my final exam too.

Did everyone in here just suddenly want those gorgeous, beautiful extra weapons?

Seriously. I have tried gouging more friends, but some of them have those... kids they keep talking about, and apparently you can't not feed those for a few days or they spoil... or something.

If it weren't the huge annual sale on our avenue (the literally close off the street so people can wander around) I'd be tempted to print a few sheets and post them at the local gaming stores.

I think it's just the usual middle-of-the-campaign slowness. It will trickle up and then the last couple days there will be a big surge

I know I have talked to people at the store and posted on our facebook group, but it seems that even though its plastic not titans for cheap and how much they say they need them for apoc, no one will bite. Few looked at the models but didn't like the look well enough to snatch em up for cheap allies.

I think it will take a few days for news of the new weapons to bring in new backers. Also, I think the 4.5" tall Crusader and the full-size Mortis will be levels that will bring in a lot of new backers. Today's news really got current backers upping their pledges, though!

I will share this with my local gaming group and see if anyone else might be interested

I agree the 15mm Crusader will get some extra pledges in. I disagree on the Mortis. Everyone I have talked to agree the Crusader is the much better looking model. I'm sure there are a few who will order it. And some who will order both. I am just not expecting a large jump from it.

In all’a y’all’s opinions, what would make a better Knight: The full-sized one, or the 15mm scale one?

And will the additional weapons be available in 15mm?

Knight? The full size would be a better Knight for 40k.

The 15mm would make a better Dread Knight.

i would assume the weapons would be available at some point in the future for the 15mm.

Oh, the Knight is 100% the full sized one. Have you seen the 5.5" one at my house? The new one is smaller than that.

@RiTides: Hasn't confirmed nor denied, just commented that the Vulcan will be free postage. And to the comment of not recouping... he has to give a FREE arm from any kit, so the cost is marginal for another arm (as he will already have had to kit them up).

Right now the extra weapons are only for the full-size. Isn't it almost "true titan" sized, though? Not sure how tall Knights are... but I call my 5.5" resin ones knights

Almost 65K

The full size one is almost as tall as a warhound,
but a warhound is much bigger in volume (and flat on the top)

I would say the 5.5 are almost a Knight,
But a 4.5 it not.

Out of these, the 8.5 is the knight or small titan size

I love the fullsize, it's definitely my warhound... still waffling on whether to get one or two. Gonna grab the 4 for 3 arms. Especially if we get the HEL cannon. Not sure which to get though. Pair of Novas... HEL, maybe a Ripper?

I'm definitely using mine as either a Chaos warhound or some sort of daemon-engine roughly on par with that. It's maybe an inch shorter than a FW warhound (probably a dead-ringer on the height compared to an armourcast), so I figure with the obligatory spiky bits on the shoulders, a nice banner of some sort between the smoke stacks, it'll look beefy enough.

*edit* Went and fudged with my overall kickstarter pledges, so that I could justify a single crusader, and 4 weapon arms, to take advantage of the 4 for 3 deal. to be honest, I think that ripper saw if we get to it will be going on a stompa in the future.

Just put in for six arms (and hoping on grabbing two free ones with em). One question though. Does anyone with some manner of graphic design skills feel like kicking out a poster that people could put up in their FLGS? I'm utterly terrible at that sort of thing. Thoughts?

Hang on. How do you go from 28mm scale to 15mm with only a one inch loss in height?

28mm is 8.5"
15mm is 4.5"

That's a LOT more than 1 inch

The old 15mm was 5.5 (I have that one)

You are welcome to uuse my renders if you need them. I do not have time to do new hi-rez because it ties up my system for 8-10 hours while it renders They are large files when full size and the one I used for the cover on the box art can make a decent 17X24" poster

Hey Mark
Any news on whether the ANY ARM swap will be possible at the $100k level?

Thanks!!
Oh, and $261 to go to $65k

Well, I upped my pledge by $10

Only $176 to go till Nova Cannon unlocks!

Anyone here involved in the fine scale modelling community? How about the mecha/gundam modelling community? Post links to the kickstarter on related boards/sites (esp. If you know of Japanese sites for the latter) as there is some crossover and we may be able tk get pledges from military modelers for this.
