No worries there - the creator is here, active and actually has it in the first post too...
I'm was in with an Early Bird "Executive", but realized that I 'want them all!' and that even a non-Early Bird "Director" would be a better way to go, but...
...the gaming budget is tight right now, so I dropped down to a £2 pledge to get access to the PM and the up it then.
Everything looks good so far though - onward and upward!

I am in the exact same position.. Moreover.. the Dromeda geometric figures are PERFECT for a Shadowrun thing I'm trying to put together. I just wish there were bundles for duplicate sets because 7 pounds each for what I'm trying to do is going to sting the wallet.

Yep, happy to do bundles of figures... we are also releasing bundles of complete faction sets of figures as add-ons shortly too! Drop me an e-mail at: ben@blackphoenixgames.com or, if you are a backer, send me a message through the campaign.
We have just unlocked the 'Sentinel Obelisk' sentry turrets for Dromeda too... TWO of those are now free to Director level pledges, plus more freebies coming soon :-)
Here's the Sentinel (just an illustration for now as sculpt is in progress)... and the full 'Director' level bundle.... remember too, these are premium super-detailed resin miniatures made in the UK, not low-detail Chinese plastic ;-)

Just £150 or so away from unlocking the 'Strong Man' now!!!!
After that we have two more miniatures to complete the 'Vegas Freaks' faction and a load of other cool add-ons coming in stretch goals for the rest of the campaign.... it's been really storming ahead the last day or so....

Well, we are STORMING ahead now!
We smashed the Strong Man stretch goal and have now gone a thousand pounds more past it... we're now just a few hundred pounds from the NEXT goal which unlocks the awesome 'Betsy' cruise missile miniature which is FREE and a Kickstarter exclusive for the 'Director' level pledges!
This intelligent missile is a weapon upgrade for the massive 'El Toro' mech but, once fired, becomes a character in it's own right and can be targeted, hacked and even negotiated with to try and alter it's course or prevent it destroying it's intended target!
Lots more cool stuff to come...

I'd like to lobby for a version of STRONG MAN without a slot machine in his hands - I think that would be quite nice too...

I'm really looking forward to putting some paint on the gorgeous models from this KS.
I backed a couple of the project creators other projects, and he's always done a great job communicating with the backers and fulfilling on his promises.

New Stretch Goals AND win FREE miniatures in our competition!
Posted by Black Phoenix Games (Creator)
Dear backers
Lady Luck is smiling on you today!
We have now got THREE stretch goals lined up in quick succession which I am confident we can smash through in the next couple of days!
After 'Betsy', the grumpy cruise missile (who we described in the last update) we will be hitting a VERY col upgrade for the game that comes FREE to Director level backers and will be a low-cost add-on for all other backers.
Given the setting and theme of Armoured Syndicate - in the ruins of sin-city, we felt it only right that we bring a bit of 'Vegas casino into the Armoured Syndicate game itself.
When we hit the £15K mark all Director level backers (and everyone else for just a few pounds extra) will get a pair of custom 'lady luck' poker chips and a new special rule card with the game. These are premium ceramic chips, not cheap plastic, and they are REALLY gorgeous things, custom made for us by one of Europe's top suppliers to casinos and professional gambling establishments!
In the game you will be able to include the 'Lady Luck' rules as an option from the start. This special rule can be enacted once per game by either player and allows them to 'gamble' on the result of a combat action. Essentially, before a combat action takes place (be it them making the action or them being attacked) they can place the poker chip on the character card of their model. If they are attacking and are successful, then they get to DOUBLE the damage done to the target or reverse any damage done to them if they are the target. If they are unsuccessful, then the reverse happens and they receive the damage.
This will be a REALLY cool extra twist to throw into the game... if you feel that Lady Luck is on your side!
Next up we have a competition for you all!
So... the big game websites and forums are an important place for people to find out about cool new games... but with SO many out there it's hard to get noticed above the noise!
We need your help to get Armoured Syndicate noticed and get new backers in this coming week as we enter the final 7 days of the campaign.
So... we are going to give away 20 free miniatures, not with your pledge, but NOW, these will be sample miniatures we already have made that will be posted to you next week... if you complete our task!
So, here's what you have to do to win one of these free models:
1: Go on to the awesome website 'Dakka Dakka' and post a comment on our thread where Armoured Syndicate is being discussed:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/703000.page
Obviously, if you can say something positive about the game, the miniatures and/or what you like about it and the cool free stuff you'll be getting, then that'd be great!
Obviously, if you are not yet a member, you'll need to register but this will only take a minute or so and is well worth it!
2: Go to the awesome board-game website: Board Game Geek, again, if you are not yet a member then you may need to create an account but this won't take long at all and remember... FREE MINIATURE!
Then you need to become a "fan" of Armoured Syndicate... Follow this link to the site. On the top of the page there is a greyed out "heart" next to the "subscribe" tab, click on the "heart" to become a "fan".
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/211022/armoured-syndicate
Then you need to "like" a picture... Follow this link, click on the picture thumbnail to load the picture, on the left hand side of the picture there is a "green thumb" in the recommend box, click on the "green thumb" to "like" the picture, repeat for the other 4 pictures.
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/211022/armoured-syndicate/images
3: Then you need to drop us a message through Kickstarter (or reply to this update) to say that you have done these things.... PM me your postal address... and you get a free miniature next week!
That's IT!
The first 20 people to accomplish this will get a free miniature, we'll send another update once those have been claimed (but don't worry we have a few spare if you are one of the last and just scrape through in time).
We will have some other cool competitions running for the rest of the campaign and more cool new miniatures and game expansions to reveal in the stretch goals over this last week!
Thanks all for your support, we can't wait to get this game in production and out to you and get some expansions into development to make it even bigger!

and having got a few of the Dead Crow minis already I know they're great

The slot machine is a separate item so we will also be offering him with the option of something else in his hands that we have already made :-)

Like the look of the game so much I am in for 2 Director pledges. Good thing I managed to snag 2 EBs...
Looking forward to getting the game, not so much to play as to paint those awesome miniatures! Some of the best looking game pieces I have ever seen.

The models for this game are highly detailed and the background so far is rich with story. I backed this because I am from Las Vegas and I would have a wealth of terrain to work into my table.
