The option is awesome.. But the includes are ehh.. I am more Fantasy, but they could be fun to paint..

If you haven't looked at the map - it has been updated too. Looks to be another paint bottle, a cross, one with horse shoes on it, a pile of bones and a gold treasure chest (guessing the gold treasure chest should be around the $1 million mark).

This is getting way too good!

However I am going to have to wait to the 16th to see what Dreamforge is doing before I commit some funds


Too many kickstarters....

The Chronoscope figs are toing to be avaialble as an add-on pack for only $11

Also, this pack will be available as an add-on for only 6 bucks!

As I'm splitting the Kickstarter with 3 others, I'll definitely be buying a separate pack of the IMEF figs for myself. That's at least $30 bucks in metal for $6 in bones! It's great to know that they will be available in retail later so that I can always add to the squad if I need too.

100 Dollar pledge given! + some for add-ons in the end.

Just cracked the half a million dollar mark. No additional rewards, but wow - that is a big number. Still have another 11 days to go till it is finally wrapped up and there are a lot of people headed towards GenCon with propaganda.

I don't know what I'll use it for, but I love that dragon!

Hmm, nothing in the clockwork Dragon or Bedeviled particularly interests me, but at this point we've got so many great figs coming our way for our 4 way split of vampire that I could get nothing else and be perfectly satisfied.

That said, it's always nice to have more figs to add to the trade pile!

That dragon is pretty bad ass.. lol

Empire Steam Dragon of course.

I'm really looking forward to getting these in Bones. I'll probably make a small squad of them.

Hold crud is this a good KS. If it is anything like the mantic one, it is only going to accelerate as we get closer. I'm in for $100.

Looks like the treasure chest at the bottom will be the $1 million stretch goal judging by the number of tombs and the current bigger stretch goals that combine both a freebie and an optional extra together.

And yeah, the Mantic one exploded in the final day with over $150k pledged in one day. Sedition Wars and Zombicide did the same thing, only over the course of 3 days of massive pledge amounts, and they had much smaller daily amounts pledged.

And all those had much smaller pledge amounts per day, whereas this Reaper one has steadily been at $20k/day minimum, rising up to $50k/day quite often.

I can see this breaking the million dollar mark, Reaper is being very wise to extend the caverns beyond that treasure chest!

It has already exceeded the Mantic one...

We're talking velocity though. The mantic one took off on the last couple days.

Wow. almost 800k to 1.2 mil? Daaaamn.

Yeah, we're just wondering how nuts the closing days will be. I wouldn't be surprised to see $300k pledged on the final day alone with this one!

As soon as it hits 200 minis for $100, pretty much everyone and their dog is going to want in simply due to the sheer "bucket of minis" appeal of it.

Reaper has said they have 'Plans' up to 4 million, though which thing goes out as which stretch are flexable

The don't belive it will go that far, but are taking precautions

Yeah, didn't mantic have to have emergency management meetings to try to come up with new ones?

Mantic had terrible planning and had to pull everything out of their ass after they predicted that they'd only make $20k out of it.. no concept art other than what they had already on file, no greens, no clear reward structure until 2 weeks in..

Reaper is the exact opposite, this is extremely well planned. Going to the effort of hiring an artist to do a cool advent calender map was an extremely smart move, it makes it both easier to understand and a lot more appealing.

I'm amazed that they have plans up to $4 million, though! Now there's a company with confidence!

Does the map dig right down to the centre of the Earth?

Reaper Bone Dinosaurs anyone?

My guess is they have 'plans' to bring every Reaper mini (that sells) into plastic

Plus quite a few cool new ones too

no harm in being prepared

Where did you guys hear the $4 million figure?

Reaper is ran by some very efficient people - the head of which was an accountant in his former life. They also have a huge back catalog and 20 years or so of sales information. They also have a staff artist who they can tag when they want something drawn up. They are also genuinely nice people (which Mantic seem to be as well - but it does help).

The KT projections tend to run extremely low for these types of campaigns. He uses a fairly simple linear formula to calculate where it will go. If you compare this to any of the other similar campaigns - you will see that on this day of the campaign, they tend to have only made 30% of their total pledges. Add to that GenCon with the various minions moving about and Reaper's ruthless efficiency - and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see $2 million. Once it gets a little bit further along though, the value of the buy ins will make it almost impossible for anyone to ignore and not get into (already we are approaching 72 cents per miniature).

There are a good dozen or so miniatures which can be used in GW games as well - and I think Reaper may manage to corner the Australian market (given how much GW likes to bend them over and all).

Reaper Bryan has said it many times on the KS comments and in their forums.

HUGE load of minis. Happy they're doing well monetarily, but I just don;t need all those figs.

Anyone willing to go in on a Vampire level and split the models?

EDIT: Or, anyone that's already paid Vampire level willing to take donations from me to get some of the add-ons?

PM me

Pledged the 100 level, plus some tidbits. My RPG group accepted to buy it together, and we will use them for lots of things... This is explendid right now, but i hope they go better...

It is now at 548, they where at 524 at the mid of the day... o.O

Since they got close to the bottom of the first map they have had 40K+ days over the last 3 days.. Its going to explode at day 5.. I cant wait to see it happen..

Goblins are definitely cool not to say the dragon isn't cool, but I can just a pile of them running toward PC's.. lol..

Not a fan of those goblins, but the dragon is great. Any idea how much the big models will cost when officially released?
