Subject: CMoN Ron & Bones KICKSTARTER IS LIVE and FUNDED! @ $70K, first stretch @ $75K (Alt sculpts)
It's for the currently unreleased title The Others, which is scheduled some time 1st or 2nd quarter next year. Minis are by studio mcvey; rules are by guillotine; producer I believe is rumored but not confirmed to be CMoN
Anyone have any experience with the material they're using for this project? How does the quality of the actual sculpts you get compare to the showcase photos, which I assume are based on resin masters?
Not quite resin quality, but IMO very good, and on part or better than metal.

Introducing: The SKULLKICKERS!
Backers, we're proud to announce Rum & Bones' first official tie-in!
SKULLKICKERS is a fan favorite fantasy action-comedy comic series published by Image Comics. In Skullkickers a gang of hard-headed mercenaries kill monsters and cause havoc in their search for money, fame, and adventure. The cast of pirates appearing in Rum & Bones come from the third volume of Skullkickers, titled "Six Shooter on the Seven Seas". You can read Skullkickers online, order books, and find out more information at www.skullkickers.com
Meet the heroes that make up the Skullkickers gang:
(The figures come unpainted. The images above are just examples of what a skilled painter is able to do with them.)
Rum & Bones is proud to feature the Skullkickers! And of course they will be a fine addition to any crew as they are a full band of Mercenaries. Please note that this pack is a Kickstarter Exclusive! To get the Skullkickers, just add $25 to your pledge and after the campaign is finished you'll be able to select what the extra funds are for.
It's the final week of the campaign, mateys! The next stretch goal is within sight, let's keep pushing and see how far we can sail this ship!!
Love the look of the Skull Kickers! I had heard this may be happening, but really excited to know that it is! Skull Kickers is a really fun comic, if you've not heard of it!

You can pretty much confirm that

The Hell Rokkers and all their buddies can now officially be their own crew. Not sure what that entails for deckhands, bosuns, and ships, but you could easily substitute one faction's stuff in I guess.
Maybe Mr. Black will shed some light on that in the future.
I was kind of hoping hey'd have that pirate Santa they had posted on their Facebook. A pirate Santa merc would indeed be interesting.
I'll settle for Bangaranging at least until we see something from the deep.
BANGARANG!
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
Well, that's a different Pan than before. Fits the pirate theme better, so no complaints. Still not sold on the whole game. I think like many I am waiting for a crew that really draws me in. Maybe I (we?) shouldn't be so picky considering the lack of pirate games out there?

I just want to know when they are going to re-use another ron & bones sculpt - LOGAN!!!
He is the coolest character they had and I for one need at least one heroic, unexaggerated character to use with the others! I pledged for this KS even though I am not a fan of every character (they are very exaggerated, but some seem over the top). He is the main reason I pledged, hoping they would add him as they used many of the other R&B sculpts and I remember seeing his picture in the dakka KS preview thread. PLEASE MR BLACK! GIVE US LOGAN!
IN ALAE MORTIS... On the wings of Death!!

Pretty sure im going to back out. Really looks a lot less profitable then Arcadia Quest was if I ever decide to sell it all. Not really one of my top themes and the characters/sculpts are not doing it for me. The undead are great and I like the panda but that's bout it. Needs more fantasy added to it.

This.
Plus Christmas, meh Visual Design, KS Fatigue, Waiting on so many other delayed projects (from CMoN and others), competition for my dollars from things available now and not in 8-10-12 months/Christmas 2015 with KS delays factored in (unless it's shipping from China in May? And after the PM finishes in Feb?) and now having SO many boardgames. Still, the price is what ultimately makes it or breaks it, and it's too much here, given all the factors above and way too many $5 boardgame plastic add-on figures.
Of course we don't need all the miniatures and add-ons, and a 'base' pledge looks to offer a lot of value and gameplay, so...
Except they added exclusives to each additional crew - so you kinda do need them now, if you want them. The hero booster 3 packs are skippable for now at least.

That sea monster is atrocious (I see it didn't even get mentioned here). It's a shame that something like the Logan sculpt get skipped while that makes it in (maybe Logan is too finely featured).

Was any of the Zombicide stuff ever released in resin? CmoN doesn't seem to have the best track record with collectors releases.

I pulled out, the range of miniatures is not consistent enough. It's all over the place in style and theme. I mean I can be forgiving when it comes to influences sometimes, but putting a Tommy gun in a pirate game, not-Kiss and Don Quixote of all people, it just becomes muddled.
If I want any, I'll go looking for the old metals and save myself a packet that way.

No, I don't think so. Maybe CMON prefer to release the figures in plastic as the profit margins presumably are higher?
Some of these sculpts definitely deserve a resin release.

Is there any chance that the "Logan" miniature will make it into this Kickstarter?
And if not, will it be released later on?
Creator CoolMiniOrNot about 3 hours ago
Alpharius, who let you off of Dakka.
Logan wont be making an appearance during this KS, as for later? Well... Who knows
In all seriousness though he's probably have to have a bit of conversion to make him 1 piece... but the sculptors have really been impressing me with what they're rigging up in casting lately, so who knows.
@Rion
No more Paid Addons, you've tapped us out.

I love the "Who let you off Dakka?" comment, Alpharius.
I have to admit I'm surprised, although, relieved, that it ended up being only two faction boxes. La Brise Sanguine and the Skull Kickers are definite buys for me, Mazu's Dreadful curse are an extremely likely buy, and the Luck Goddesses are a probably. Those faction dice are pretty sweet, but they're definitely not ten dollars worth of sweet. Those additional heroes boxes will have to wait, I really like the two for my favorite factions (La Brise and Bone Devils) but there is already a lot to buy that can't be bought later, so things that can be bought later will be passed over for now.
Kingdom Death Fanatic. Dark Eldar: Kabal of the Fragile Breath. Dark Elves: Allegiance to the Black Crown. Also, Masons, Cygnar, and Legion of Everblight. All unnamed.

Holy gak that is an awesome username. Please tell me your army is called Kabal of the Fragile Breath. Morathi's Darkest Sin has some competition here for best handle, I think.
