Ah a Dr Manhattan/Iron Man cross breed

**Azazelx**

I'm a bit drained when it comes to these CMoN boardgames. A more substantial Z:I crossover pack probably would have gotten me on board despite all of that, but it's pretty underwhelming.

It looks like it's dancing on the beach with Annette Funicello or Patty Duke. I bet a hot dog makes her lose control.

The two add on minis look great. I'm all for more alien and/or robot representation.

and that's redesigned Gemma

Wasn't there a guy with two underslung gun thingies?

there was indeed Sgt. Killian Brace he didn't make the cut (yet?)

**BobtheInquisitor**

I love all those new minis. Auto buy for me.

(And yes, I will replace heads with helmets because people wearing massive power armor should not expose their thinkmeat balloons to enemy fire.)

**Col Hammer**

I was wavering back and forth if I should stay or drop my pledge... This add on made my mind. I'm staying for sure now.

**DaveC**

Another $50 expansion I think this is a pass for me but the segmented boss is a great idea

**Mysterio**

It doesn't appear to have moved the needle much.

I hope CMON realizes that it is OK to actually support their real mini wargames (Wrath of Kings and Dark Age) too, rather than KS Cash Grab only these days.

Probably not though, as I think that with how poorly they supported/support WoK and DA, even this 'mediocre' KS campaign might net them more...

It's Centipede!

**Gallahad**

Why does CMON hate helmets? I've come to accept that if I have to convert a miniature before I want to paint/play with it, it dramatically reduces the odds of it ever making it onto my painting desk.

I used to love converting, but I've gotten more picky about my miniatures quality and that sucked all the joy out of it. "It has to be the perfect headswap! etc."

**Col Hammer**

Why does GW hate helmets? Why does pretty much every miniature game hate helmets?

People want to see the face of the hero, I guess. With a helmet on, he's just a faceless mook.

**JohnHwangDD**

They need half-helmets. Like Judge Dredd.

You suggest half helmets and GW will decide to cover only one side of the head.

Oh wait

Spoiler:

**JohnHwangDD**

That's Phantom of the Opera, not Dredd!

**DaveC**

Where are we since I last looked?

new 5 mission campaigns added to the Alienship Rescue expansion

Next up 5 runners in an alternate sculpt

Then Devourer Boss added to the Alienship Rescue expansion

**JohnHwangDD**

Is it just me or are the minis just really cartoony? Like what a little kid would think should be scary?

More like what Dr Freud thinks you find scary about your mother.

I'm not sure why the runners are posed at the most boring part of their running gait. It's not like artists have been struggling for decades to find a way to make running look exciting. But at least their tongues are lolling out, so still a plus!

**JohnHwangDD**

Pretty sure the Runner is stopping to "mark" a fire hydrant...

**Pugnacious_Cee**

1) This campaign is hyper boring to me, for some reason.

2) Damn them for making that stupid R.O.O.K. team an add-on for this game. I've been waiting 5 years for those Gnosis suits and now I'd not only have to back a game I don't want even a little bit to get them, but as an added cost to that game.

**DaveC**

ROOK team are not KS exclusive and are expected to go to retail - but CMON have been using KS orders of add ons to gauge interest in them and have pulled planned retail releases due to lack of KS orders.

Speaking of the ROOKS they have now been added to the Zc:I pack and the Black Ops get added to P:E

We are including the following components to the Zombicide: Invader Crossover Optional Buy without any addition to the cost:

6 Survivor ID Cards to bring R.O.O.Ks Heroes as Survivors for Zombicide: Invader
6 cardboard Hero dashboards to bring the Survivors from Zombicide: Black Ops as Heroes for Project: ELITE
1 card to bring the Juggernaut Abomination as a new Boss
2 cards to bring the XN35 "Crawley" Bot and the Meteor Sentry Gun from Zombicide: Black Ops as items in Project: ELITE

next - full helmet and all!

**DaveC**

For $10, the Kickstarter Exclusive Ammo Pack Optional Buy brings a new set of rules, to emerge in the battlefield, and a new type of equipment!

The Ammo Pack comes with:

6 Grenade Equipment cards, 2 of each type of grenade:
- Explosive Grenades
- Smoke Bombs
- Repellant Gas
2 Ammo Crate tokens
36 Ammo tokens
9 Smoke tokens
9 Repellant tokens

When we reach $500k we will unlock for all backers the Kickstarter Exclusive Double-sided Adrenaline Map.

Note that as an unplanned Stretch Goal, the map shown is only a mockup art of what you will be receiving in the future.

I get feeling they had parts of an expansion but not enough to do a full one so some is add on and some is SG.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Giving stretch goal characters to the add ons won't make me buy them. But it might make me rethink my pledge.

Man does CMON make it hard to deal with them.

**Ghool**

Is it just me or has this campaign been puttering along at a snails pace compared to most CMON campaigns?

**JoeRugby**

Dropped my pledge to £1 and I might drop completely.

I like the basic aliens, not a fan of most of the heroes and the bosses.

Was really looking forward to this after the previews too.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Yeah, it seems really slow.

And I agree that the main game's aliens are the best. Most of the bosses have been pretty off putting. If the stretch goals aren't improved soon to be worth the extra cost, it might be a better deal to wait for discounted retail rather than spend more now.

**Theophony**

I think people are voting with their wallets. While some of the sedition wars rehash is good, this looks like too much of a hodgepodge of different games and styles. Sort of what’s left in the cupboard? Right well give them guns and we will kill aliens.

**highlord tamburlaine**

A shame too, because the original was a lot of fun.

The highlight were the bosses and mega bosses, both which seem to be lacking still. There were a lot more in the original game, and we haven't even seen any mega bosses yet.

Interesting that the adrenaline map is a stretch goal though. The original was an entire expansion with new characters and basic alien types.
