The Gorm (40) comes with a Free Regeneration suit pinup so that would be my value bet. Game play expansion : 1 big fig, 5 small ones

Spidercules (40) is very cool looking. Game play expansion : 1 big fig, 4 small ones

then i'd look at the pinups (15) and the Lion God (25) and decide what figure I liked best and either save 5 and go for may favorite pinup or spend an extra 5 and get the gameplay Lion God

Okay Dakkafriends, I need you to help me make a decision. Hypothetically, I have around $340 set aside for this KS. I have around $100 left beyond what I'm definitely buying with the following monsters remainging:

Gorm
Spidercules
Lion God

ANd all the pin ups minus Holiday Nico.

So, please, just tell me what I should get. I'm having the hardest time deciding.

I don't understand, are you saying you have to choose between those 3 monsters? in that case go for Spidcules. It's a Major Expansion, and one of the best looking monsters for sure.

He's saying he's got everything else and now he's choosing how to spend his remaining $100. Those expansions are the only ones he hasn't decided on yet. Also, the pinups.

This. I'm just terrible at making decisions like this. I just want someone to tell me why I should pick one over the other here

I was leaning towards the Spider.

For some reason, when I look at Gorm, I can't help but think he's one of the hybrid toys the villain kid in the 1st Toy Story movie puts together and then destroys with fire crackers.

If it were me, I'd go Gorm, Spidicules, and 2 extra sets of face bases.

I know Adam said you can loot dead bodies after a monster is slain, but do you think if, out of a group of four, my character gets slaughtered while wearing a full set of armor, do you think my buddies can take it all and bring it back to the settlement? Even though I just now thought about how it's kind of rude to just leave your freshly dead friend naked on the ground while you make off with their stuff.

From the man himself.

90% of the stats / abilities come from gear which can be taken from fallen survivors and passed thru generations. Having a clean slate survivor is often great, because he won't be missing any limbs or have any disorders!

Have to agree - save getting the pinups until later, and go with as many game expansions as you can.

Man, I may just have to up the $$. This project has me so jazzed.

Also, KD has made nearly $70k today. $70k. Incredible.

I'm having second thoughts about my Black Friday Deluxe Survivor (250)--anyone interested in working something out who has one of the Black Friday (regular) Survivor deals?

Personally, the one thing that isn't an expansion that I'm getting is a resin collector's Watcher. I figure if I get it from the KS, I don't have to worry about never being able to get one for this cheap again.

Is there a way to get two copies of the base game or is it just the survivor you can add on?

I apologize if my question has been answered already, but will the resin versions of the pinups be available outside of the Kickstarter?

My pledge has defiantly changed from where I first thought it would go, I am now looking at the Survivor level w/ Spidicules, Dragon King, The King for a total of 215.00. Money got tight on me but these expansion imho add the most to the game. As much as I wanted the Deluxe Survivor I am having a difficult time justifying the cost for a shirt I am prob to fat to wear and two survivors I would prob not use and a bunch of spare models that will most likely also not be used.

At least all that is the way me justifying how broke I am and still supporting the game. Wish this did not run over X-Mas.

You get a shirt with the regular Survivor pledge level too

Just pledged to the kick starter. I've been watching this game from pretty early on and have been so pumped. I just waited for all the expansions to drop to choose which I wanted... I ended up getting them all.

$420.00

Deluxe Survivor plus all expansions. November 2013 can't come soon enough.

Yes.

So from the video, we learn that you can injure your arms from rocking out too hard, and that lion gonads are very useful for.....something.

I'm actually a bit worried about KD being that style of board game, as I haven't had a ton of fun with super-complex board games (Dominion is about the most complexity I've liked in a board game).

It's interesting that it seems to be more of a light RPG than a board game, but I'm feeling more conservative about how much I'll go in for...

This is the main reason I'm probably not buying the game itself (just the artbook and a bunch of single minis / accessories). It looks awesome, but the level of detail is a bit much for me--a total runtime of about 15-20 hours? It sounds less like a traditional board game, more like a kind of semi-RPG. That said, I get the feeling observing / reading about other people's campaigns is going to be awesome and hilarious. Kind of like Dwarf Fortress, which this strongly reminds me of, actually.

One thing I wonder about is, just how available are the miniatures going to be after the KS finishes? I'm specifically thinking of the Great Game Hunter, which was formerly a limited edition.

This question has been asked a lot. Anyway, the only miniatures that will NOT be available after the KS ends are "Adam and Anna" (I am not counting the kits or base inserts here). Everything else will be available after the KS. "Holiday Nico" will be available in a restricted fashion, possibly at conventions and/or for holidays. It might be harder to get hold off than the others. Also, don't expect the other miniatures to be available 24/7. Adam has mentioned that he most likely will continue the small scale. So expect small and limited re-stocks of his items. Furthermore, none of the KS produced items will be available for general until after game/content has been delivered to the backers. So expect getting some maybe around Christmas 2013, or possibly even later depending on production delays.

Adam has also mentioned that during this full year that will pass, there might be a few limited releases for items that are not linked to this KS.

at 395, I nabbed every gameplay expansion, except the Lion God (Because I really didn't like it)

I think all the gameplay ones are worth it.

 Sasori wrote:

I did the same except that I left out Gorm and took the Lion God. To each their own, I guess.

Anyway, has anyone checked to see if there are any Armor Suits that are "missing" if you buy all the expansions? I ask because it seemed like some expansions didn't include them, some were put as "freebees" to Survivor level, and some were included in the expansions. I'm a little concerned that I might miss out on a set of armor somehow. Also, is the Gorm armor available separately at all?

One last thing, if I want stone face inserts for all my figs, am I looking at dropping $100 or what?

I'm guessing Adam is still asleep? Would be a hoot to have him wake up to 10k extra.

That's been one of the things I don't like about the Gorm since I first saw it. It reminds me of Sid.


The Gorm model can always be altered or replaced. So if that's a big detractant to getting the expansion, it's not without remedy. The game content is a good value when factoring in the kickstarter discount compared to retail price. I'd say you have to ask if you're more interested in the miniatures or the game. If it's the game, then go for the expansions first and worry about the pinups later. If you care about miniatures more than game content, grab whatever the heck you think looks coolest and are most excited about.


Many people have talked about forgoing the pinups until later. Usually dismissing them and other miniatures as superfluous to this campaign and sidelining or ignoring the difficulty associated with procuring Kingdom Death products. This, of course, does not even factor the extra cost of the models at full retail price, sales tax, and shipping costs - though they vary depending on location. These same added costs will exist for the KD: Monster game expansions as well, but it's something rarely brought up.

We also run into the issue, as most will point out, of availability. Scarcity and perpetually out-of-stock online shops will still be the name of the game post-launch. We don't even know when Launch will be either. We do know that the target date for pledge fulfillment on kickstarter orders is November 2013 but I'm expecting it to run late - and it's not a criticism, merely an expectation of unexpected delays - into December 2013 or Q1 2014. Once the backers are taken care of, then Adam can focus on production for retail release.

All of this is just meant to say that there are many fine offerings in the Kingdom Death: Monster Kickstarter which don't directly contribute to gameplay. And if you or anyone else is so inclined, they should not feel restricted to only purchasing 'content'. Ultimately everyone has a Limit that they absolutely will not or cannot cross - even setting my 'limit' at $300 hasn't stopped me from exceeding it.

Disposable income is all about the wants.

While I like the game ideas I can't get another board game. That said I pledged for the King expansion, the Dragon expansion, and a Watcher. I plan on turning them into some insanely cool 40k minis and giving my friend (who is getting the game) the extras I don't use.

If you get every expansion, you'll have every armor kit. The survivor level only gets some duplicate sets of armor kits. Stuff already included in the game box.

The Candy and Cola is a disappointment. But the new stretch looks interesting.

Edit: I just hope that it isn't another sell-out like the Soda Pop. Hell, why not add a Yoda stretch goal, or Batman too?

And another Candy and Cola to add to my collection given this is a KS exclusive I'll get it now I was going to wait and get the pin ups later to save some money

The next pin up looks like a tribute to Link from the Legend of Zelda

I am super excited of that being a possibility, Dave. Like, really excited.

New Stretch looks like Link, with Boobs.

Well I just googled Link the sword and shield are a match plus the hood is there as well sigh I'll have to get that one as well then
