Dang. I hope they bring back that deal or a better one when I have some spending money.

**complex57**

Hrm....not really feeling this one. I will say that I like how the female dwarf paladin looks.

Probably gonna pass on this.

Maybe I'll use the funds for the upcoming kickstarter from dungeons and lasers.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

the boids flap into view (don't harpy on about it too much)

**BobtheInquisitor**

Has anyone else taken a look at the Ankh pledge manager? Do the terms and conditions listed there seem...longer and more dubious to you?

**ced1106**

Really good prices for terrain, although you may already have chests and doors...

MM: Good price for pillars alone : https://www.miniaturemarket.com/searchresults/?q=pillar&filter[]=categoryPath1_fq:%22Table%20Top%20Miniatures%22

All of the terrain should work for 28mm gaming, including Gloomhaven...

**DaveC**

I like the Hell themed design of the doors but I have the Zc fantasy doors and the MD1 chests and pillars. I might think about the Hellscape set in the PM if I have $20 to spare. I often find the 3D elements to be more of a hinderance than a help (but keep buying them

) but the plastic token packs are a great upgrade (whenever that appears)

And the Mist Rogue was unlocked overnight. That leaves 3 more gender swapped core set heroes to go - male Shaman, female Ranger and wizard.

Automatically Appended Next Post:

**BobtheInquisitor**

Followed that MM link to find out there was a Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth board game. Now nothing will surprise me.

Those terrain add one look pretty good. The pillars especially would be a nice deal...if I had to already bought several cake topper columns for that purpose.

**Theophony**

Are there a lot of Bears in Hell? I mean you need 4 bear traps for a board the size of a small table, I guess Yogi and BooBoo have been stealing a lot of pic-i-nic baskets from the denizens of Hell

**frankelee**

After the Nagas I was pretty much done, but seeing the next stuff after it, I like it. I think the cartoony fantasy design works pretty well. I'm going to get it, at least for the minis which are already a pretty decent value with quite a bit of campaign to go.

Perhaps their financial troubles have caused them to quit getting so stingy, also the obligatory $45 expansion probably helps there too.

**Phobos**

Am I the only one who is seriously underwhelmed?

**PsychoticStorm**

No, I am massively underwhelmed... didn't intent that pun, but I will stick with it, The only interesting part of this campaign is the rules change for the previous one...

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I liked the art choices/sculpts better in MD1 some of them in MD2 are pretty iff,

but a lot of it is ok (and some I really like)

the hell/heaven theme is fine (it's not as if they hadn't already done a significant chunk of the freely usable dungeon monsters, especially if you add in zombicide too)

I think not having the hero unlocks being obvious pop culture references is hurting them (chat about that dilutes the moaning and demanding in the comments), and having gender equality means we know 'oh there's a female monk up soon' again removing some of the excitement

Tbis one feels like a Supernatural reference at least.

**frankelee**

Hmmm, interestingly the pop-culture references and generally "LULZ!" attitude is what I liked least about CMON products in the past. MD2 seems a little more thematically serious, it's cartoony, but it's not, "Hey check out this mini of President Clinton but he's a D&D character! XD"

Now that I'm converted and stanning for it, I think the value for the minis is really good (probably finish with 125-130 give or take), and I just like all the mobs and variety better than MD1.

**Alpharius**

I'm not overly disappointed, but I'm not overly enthusiastic either.

MD1 really had a great look and feel - this one doesn't quite reach the same level, but it has grown on me during the campaign and is still quite good.

Looking forward to what else is revealed and the contents (and price!) of the inevitable 'all in' pledge!

**angel of death 007**

I see the value in this overall. I backed it so far but I have never been more on the fence in awhile. The add ons are nice but the over all pledges are meh.. Even with the kickstarter exclusives, I see several models I like but the whole angel/ devil thing just has been over played in the past and I don't see flying stuff in a pub crawl kind of game that Zombicide etc usually is.

Thinking about pulling the plug on this maybe dropping to a dollar just to see what happens.

**xevv**

I'm in for what is 210 so far. Don't see myself backing out although I am hoping for some nice stuff without wings for the rest of the stretch.

More painful for me is the chunk of money it's going to cost me to grab the crossover stuff I don't have (assuming it even comes back in stock at some point)

Actually it's not entirely just that, its also the fact that by the time I have bought all that, I have close enough to everything for black plague that... it makes me want to finish that out and spend more money. Bleh

**ced1106**

Didn't back GH or Z2 because of the pop culture references, although the earlier Z references were fine. The BP ones were also good, because they weren't some modern-day character in a medieval outfit.

Too much variance in theme and sculptures in this KS for me, but I have plenty of miniatures already. Would like CMON to do a terrain KS, perhaps with 3D game tiles that fit with their games.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

And with Queen Caenedra rounding up her minions, we end the exploration of this part of the Dungeon! We have just completed an Enemy Box, the Feyfolk Enemy Box, which will be available at retail later on, but you are getting it for free!

plus add on dice

Ooops!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

A gryphon with a big hat, he'll go well the the dwarves/gnomes from MD1 10/10 from me

**DaveC**

More wings!!!

- these are going to be very Marmite they aren't going down well in the comments but I've nothing like them in my collection and I can see the funny side. I think this new "Rainbow" tile is going to be all sorts of weird.

Spoiler:

**Tim the Biovore**

I like 'em. Bit of cheeky KSE fun, like Chromatis in MD1.

I get that they're quite far removed from being typical dungeon crawl enemies, but I think we all knew better than to expect that after we saw a centaur ranger in the core offerings.

EDIT: Next daily unlock seems to be a pair of chibi pegasus; one Heaven themed (feathered wings) and one Hell themed (bat wings). Rainbow tile is definitely going to be weird.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I like them

I like the fact they're unlocking all at once instead of over 3 days or stretches (mob, leader, cards)

once thing I do wonder is if they can hollow out the halo for the leader here, why not for some of the others where the dinner plate look has not gone down well

(unless this is a revision? and the others will be changed later)

The dinner plates aren't technically halos, I think; they're meant to be either heavenly light, or the corrupted void, depending on the model. Empress Ytheria in the core box has an open spiked collar, so it'd be a bit weird if it wasn't 100% intentional.

**DaveC**

This made me laugh more so because of how some backers are going to freak out over it - where's that popcorn. There is only 1 more day of these rainbow themed set (which appear to be tiles in the preview) and then the last 7 days are back to a more normal set. You ask for Chromatis don't be surprised when CMON doubles down.

Spoiler:

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

dang, I never saw that coming since we had Chromatis,

but cool none the less
