Can someone let me know what I need to pledge?

Much appreciated!

I agree with the sentiment. The dozens of pledge levels being polluted by early bird pledge sublevels and a hodgepodge of availability has left people rather confused especially if they're just coming in. With no savings, there is no need for a $15 tier, a $50 tier, and a $95 tier that accomplish exactly the same considering they support add-ons.

Seems that the thing you want collectively is $22+$24=$46
You probably want the $15 tier to get $15 worth and add on later.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. They tend to keep their pledge manager fairly open, and I doubt they'd turn down an extra PayPal payment now and then from the odd backer who wants to add something else on to their pledge.

The Knights of the chalice heavy troopers have unlocked, looking forward of getting these 3 years in the future!

Thanks everyone!

Here's to that point in the future where we all have the miniatures we want!

They actively encouraged it last time 'round.

Until Paypal put a crimp in their plan by freezing a portion of the amount until they had delievered to those folks.

I guess it's advantageous to RH if people dump money via the Pledge Manager rather than Kickstarter itself which takes a certain amount for itself.

Am I the only one who likes Vladimir the owl griffon? 'Cuz I will absolutely be buying him if/when he hits retail.

He isn't horrible. Definitely better than some of the other freebies.

Of all the models in this KS, one of the only ones I want is "Huntress", and it's listed as locked and doesn't appear to show the way to unlock it?

The heroine unlocks seem to be completely at random and I have been wondering the exact same thing. Apart from some of the freebies, i'm only really looking forward to the huntress, a sister scout squad, vestal cavalry as seekers and some angels as bretonnian pegasus knights.

So, if they can just somehow unlock the huntress before the end I will be happy.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they unlock everything during the last few hours, even if funding stalls. Which it won't, because crowdfunding.

Also... when do we start the betting pool?

I think we've already reached the stage of everything will be unlocked, regardless of how much more funds are added. Just look at the Paypal unlock goals and what has been unlocked all of the sudden.

I hope so ...I reeeeealy want those Sci fi harpies

Hrm.... I hate to say it, but I might actually back this. I think I only want 175$ of the stuff they offer, and getting the freebies is probably worth while in that case.

Am I understanding things right? Lieutenant gets me freebies and then 175$ of other stuff, so like 2-4 units and a heroine or something?

Yes. That is exactly how it works.

I might even add a few extra this time, depends on what heroines get unlocked.

So if we backed KS1 we get one free $15 heroine of our choice right? Not seen that mentioned for a while.

Cool, thanks KM. I will give this some more thought today.

Thought it was a $10 one, but I could be wrong.

Update 18: 30 Hours Left + Already $680,000 + How to Unlock the Minis that you Want + New 3D Sculpt Wip + New Freebie + More Images

Additionally, there is a bit of awkward customer-blaming regarding people reducing their pledges as RH pretends their "unlock" system is out of their control.

Still no SciFi Archpapess.

Awesome, that is a bingo!

That vulture...ugh.

I want the same as Alpharius, I pledged 46$ while selecting the 15$ tier. Did I do it right?

The render is sweeet.

So they're encouraging people to dump money on the unlocked items and then bail at the last minute if those items don't get unlocked. What happens if the item get "unlocked", but then due to everyone bailing on other miniatures, the total amount drops below the unlock amount?

That will work, or you can pledge $15 now, and add more funds during the pledge manager. All kind of academic at this point really.

So, not really the update that the campaign needs right now, if they want to keep driving things forwards in the last 28 or so hours. Kicktraq shows a gain of $12k so far today, which doesn't bode well for the explosion that people have been predicting since day 2.

I very much suspect the majority of those bailing would have done so anyway having overextended on other projects in the 'month of doom'

certainly a few will be leaving because not all their wants have unlocked, but I think they're the minority

(I mean a bunch of the comments moaning is about the not unlocking of some of the stuff we've not even seen art for)

I don't think a RH presence would have made much of a difference either (as they are not the most blessed in terms of explaining themselves)

it's going to end up where it ends up

All the freebies are nice...I guess... but the problem is that, if you're only interested in one of the armies, the other stuff does absolutely jack for you.

Unless there's someone else out there with no interested in the Elves of either variety that would like to go halvesies with me...

This was my stumbling block... and part of the reason I'm not pledging, without the freebies, the deal isn't as great as far as I'm concerned and I might as well wait till retail.

The freebies are certainly an interesting decision as giving people a choice (even if of lesser value) would probably have pulled in more pledges

.....although on the other hand the moment they allowed choice there would have been massive pressure to let people pick troop boxes not just heroines (which are higher margin products)

my guess is the feel that if people actually get minis from the armies they are not interested in (now) in their hands they (or whoever they pass them on to) may well become future customers...

less investment now in terms of (hopefully) more in the future, it's certainly a brave choice
