Final day to pledge for these stompy robots! Don't regret missing out!

20k hit, bonus magnets unlocked, 2k to go until the third Heavy unlocks and just over 24 hours to do it in!

We seem to take one step forward and two steps back getting over the $20000 mark. Every time we get close to the Wendies, we seem to slip backward.

Just going to leave this here:

Thats entirely understandable Jon. People need to realize you're a one man band and don't have anyone else to take up slack at this point in your glorious mecha designing career.

Now, to go ahead and up my pledge to what I expect, and hope it doesn't all come out tomorrow... or wait and see if I can pay some on that card first...

I generally follow bigger campaigns (100k-2m sized ones), but I suspect a lot of those have people waffling and backpedaling just as much, but the churn of people and rapidly increasing funding means it gets lost in the shuffle.

I'm hoping the final hours tomorrow are good to the campaign, and that we at least see the Wendigo unlock. Going above and beyond that would be nice, but Jon himself has said he's happy with how things have turned out, and hey, not going beyond the heavies does mean an earlier delivery, which has advantages for all around (the sooner people can start showing off their awesome mechs to build hype/interest in PG's work, and the sooner PG can begin taking orders from the public at large again).

How do you add the add-on items?

Click 'Manage my Pledge' and add the cost of said addons to your pledge total. After the campaign ends you'll have access to a pledge manager to distribute your pledged amount to addons.

Adjust your pledge total for the cost of the addon- you'll "select" it during the pledge manager.

Bah! Ninjas'ed! And better explained to boot!

We're hovering at $20k at the moment with just under 24 hours to go, a lot of people have been mentioning that they are sitting out until the Wendigo BF heavy gets unlocked.

What you may not realize is that based on the average pledges we've been seeing it might take as few as 5-10 people to close that 2K gap. So pledge now rather then later as it'll make sure it gets unlocked in time.

If for some reason we fail to hit $22k then you can always withdraw your pledge in the last couple hours before the KS closes. It's very close to unlocking but we need some of the fence sitters to join in so we can make it happen.

Evacuatet? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

Or some such aphorism.

Meh, I upped my pledge from the $60 up to $160 total.

I plan on getting the Wendigo, 2 Cougars, an Osprey, Blackfrost Deck, and a Softcover.

If for some reason the Wendigo doesn't unlock, I will be getting the $120 reward with 2 Cougars, 3 Goshawks (for OpFor Demo work) 2 Decks and the Soft Cover.

It will all work out in the end

Will there be more weapon pack unlocks along the way? As we near the end I'm trying to finalize my add-ons

That Osprey is going to feel mighty alone against that much Blackfrost...

No additional stretch goals freebies left. When the Wendigo unlocks it's weapon packs will be available as well priced the same as the other heavy packs. $4 for the micro armor and $10 for the 15mm scale.

Gotcha. Just got to figure out exactly what to add.

Not much time left everyone. Get in before it's over.

Preaching to the choir, brother.

Only $550 to go until we hit $22k... getting very close.

I was able to move some other things around and put my pledge back where it was, woot! Just $350 to go till Wendigo now =)

Thanks Jon! Can't wait to get this bundle of resin in the fall.
Horseshoes/Handgrenades etc...

RiTides: He unlocked it early

Sweet! I think that's a smart move and gives folks more time to see it is unlocked and to pledge for it

You rang?

Okay you were just waiting to pull that out




I approve

Your MS Paint skills are second to none, Master.

You have no idea how hard it is these days to find a hat that fits a giant mecha.

We have many long winter months to knit.

I am stupid excited for this.

My brother is down for 2 med/1 heavy Blackfrost force

My buddy is in for 3 light/2 med/1 heavy Nor Am force

And I will crush them both for the glory of the new Soviet Republic with my 4 light/2 medium/1 heavy force!

Gonna have to get in on that 15mm terrain kickstarter that was linked, and you know I'm going to have to order 1 of these since I used to work there:

http://store.gcmshop.com/p/1713/15mm-best-buy-store-15mmdf400

I worked loss prevention at best buy for a summer, cannot say that I miss that job. The front of our store was nowhere near as swank looking as that model, but it'd certainly make good cannon fodder on the table, I'd even be likely to shoot at it instead of enemy mecha.

So glad the Wendigo unlocked. Hopefully I can find more fundage before the backer survey finalizes dollars spent.

OK, I'm pushing as much as I can for this. Upped to $170, and I may be able to swing another $20 or so by the time the pledge manager gets here.

Now I need some help :p

Blackfrost is gong to be my main faction. I would like to demo the game when I can, so that I can get other people interested in the minis/rules.

Toward that end, when picking my force do I go (15mm mind you)

Fire Team Pledge ($130)
1x Wendigo, 2x Cougar, and a single OpFor Neo-Bloc Osprey, along with a BF Faction Deck and Alt-cover Hardback? = $170

OR
Assault force Pledge ($170) / ($190)
1x Wendigo, 2x Cougar, 3x OpFor Neo-Block GosHawks, BF Faction Deck (included) , and either the included Mini-Dex OR upgrade for $20 if able to Alt HB rules.


The plan would be to Use the OpFor Neo-Bloc to help introuce the game to people in my area.
First option gives me one Osprey versus any one BF mecha , and I could still use the OSprey in my force (as a captured unit).
Second option gives me more units to put on the field with 3 GosHawks against either 2 Cougars or 1 Wendigo. Plus, I can ally the Ne-Bloc and BF forces according to Jon, and use them all as one larger force if I need to.

Keeping in mind I have started to build up 15mm sci-fi stuff for other game systems, so I have access to infantry, vehicles, some VTOL's etc already to fill out either side to make an even game.

GAHHH!!!!
