Um.. okay. Sounds like a rather odd reason if you like the figures, but whatevs.

I thought you were talking about pig posing and lip biting, but maybe you're talking about pinky finger placement. Is this included in that "all-in" pledge?

I think he talks about the covered breasts in contrast with the artwork, it is included in the big all in pledge, not the small all in pledge.

Next Stretch Goal is up. Of course it was done by Paolo, so people are flipping out about the heels, mostly, but some of the rest as well.

Can anybody download that magazine that they were pitching in the last update?
I need to create an account, which I'm absolutely, positively not willing to do, even though I'd like to take a look.

I just went to the link and it opened up.

I don't like the figure, because it doesn't match. No titties.

Eh, I deplore Paolo Parente. He's not doing sexualized models because he has a cool vision (say, Kingdom Death, etc...) so much as he's just a creepy pervy guy. I made the mistake of following him on Facebook once, and he's just a gross misogenist...

No disrespect to those who like the stuff, but i'll be delighted to skip that add-on.

Meanwhile, I missed the update for the storage box. Can anyone enlighten me as to the box included in the big-big add-on? Does it somehow hold EVERYTHING?

Pandora's box holds the SG minis, Storage Box holds game components in an organised fashion. Both are in Typhon add-on.

Does either hold the stuff from expansions, once opened? (IE the Poseidon box, Hera, etc...)

Cool, thanks a lot!

I doubt it, but they will come in their own boxes. Packaging will be like Zombicide, Conan, etc. with everything coming in vacuformed plastic trays for storage.

It seems like Paolo's Aphrodite was done first, so the covering of the breasts in the sculpt likely pre-dates the decision to do a new version more in keeping with the art direction, so would have been done with an on release.

I completely missed that. Had to go back and figure out that the render covers her nipples. As far as reasons to not buy a figure, missing the tiny exposed nipples are.. well.. each to their own.

Leo has just confirmed that they did have Paolo's version first, then later changed to the new version.

It is no better or worse than any other decision. I am against prudishness, so if it's gonna be titties, let there be titties.

Agreed.

Phoenix unlocked! Big rock thing next!

Update includes summary of stuff: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/806316071/mythic-battles-pantheon/posts/1752414

That last monster seems to be a shoutout to J.H.D.D. himself!

You know that Kickstarter folks do read these forums, so it's NOT implausible.

But, Tityos appears to have been a god similar to Prometheus (although attempting to rape a consort isn't the same as giving fire to mankind):

I saw Tityus too,
son of the mighty Goddess Earth—sprawling there
on the ground, spread over nine acres—two vultures
hunched on either side of him, digging into his liver,
beaking deep in the blood-sac, and he with his frantic hands
could never beat them off, for he had once dragged off
the famous consort of Zeus in all her glory,
Leto, threading her way toward Pytho's ridge
over the lovely dancing-rings of Panopeus".[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tityos

Looks like all that pecking at his liver turned him real bad, real quick. Or perhaps he was just that bad to begin with, and now he's truly turned monster because of it. Either way, you won't really feel sorry for him if you off him.

I like the dynamism in what is essentially a rock golem. Not often you see that pulled off well.

The Phoenix is smaller than I thought it would be. The rock monster is awesome! *And* well-named!

Phoenix is good, but yes very small! The rock monster looks awesome, and will look much better with some paint on. Gryphon also looks pretty good.

ONLY 6 HOURS LEFT!! Don't miss this awesome deal!

Since there was a foul up with the BoW thing yesterday, Warren unlocked all the Backstage stuff for Mythic Pantheon.

So if you have, or create, a free account you can now get to all the stuff that was behind their paid account restriction.

40 minutes and $100k to the final unlock... I wonder if it makes.

Apparently...no!

Maybe PM contributions will 'unlock' it though?

One can only hope!

They already announced the python will be included even though it missed the stretch goal mark of 2.7+ million.

A lot of successful Kickstarters do that if you are close to the amount since a lot of people end up adding a lot during the pledge manager anyway. Especially since this company runs OPEN pledge managers.

They also however gave us the deluxe Pandora box upgrade for free too.

Kickstarter was still adding last minute pledges after time ran out and the final now stands at only $991 short. Hell, I'll add half of that when I bump my God pledge to a Typhon Bundle plus during the pledge manager. Would have done it now but Xmas is looming and my kids want toys, too :-D

I did the same thing myrthe. Gotta be smart with the budget after all. I will be all in come the manager next month.

2.7 million though! That's great. The monolith guys are awesome and make great games with awesome miniatures. Wouldn't have missed this kickstarter for the world.

Oh, and the preview we got at the end... vikings? Ragnarok? Thor? This game could get huge with all the future possibilities on pantheons and cultures.

I dont want a mix of mythologies. I do want it to mix well with my Blood Rage tho, curious what this could be amalgamated to.
