I don't mean to be too negative, but frankly I don't see the point.
I *liked* Chronopia in it's first iteration, but...many of the things that made it unique compared to Warhammer are no longer there compared to Age of Sigmar. And the brand name is shopworn enough that I don't see a lot of retailers picking it up again, at least not stateside. Maybe things are different in Europe.
Trying to pull off games at four different scales seems ambitious and might be trying too much at once.

Stopped watching after one minute. It doesn't take half an hour to open a box and look at the bits.
Good for you, I'm sure you will find thousands of channels more suitable for you with a snap of your fingers. In the meanwhile I'll keep linking the channel of the only guy in Japan that got the Chronopia demo box when available.

There is also a handy feature on youtube, along the bottom of the video, were you can skip ahead with a click.
I will say, the guy does need better awareness of what the field of view of his camera is, a lot of stuff was either out of frame or along the bottom. Still, the figures looked pretty good at the end.
The swordsmen looked good in the end, although I am thinking the helms are tad too small (and shoulder pads a tad too big), but it is hard to tell without clear comparison shots.

Trust me, we all know about the camera his usual thing is to chat about table top games, and RPGs around a table, no close shots there. But he must be one of the only 2 guys that played Target's Warzone and Chronopia in Japan (and I'm the other guy)
This one is a long video as it's more of "a build stuff with friends" rather than a regular YT pro video. But you can see the figures clearly. The detail on the resin is really good but the final product will be plastic so it might be different. I hope the game manages to find a presence at the LGS so the missing factions can be produced.

The final miniatures will be done using Siocast which Warlord games and others have been using.
A very nice material which holds very good detail and is light.Which is a must these days with postage costs being so high.
It also means more pieces can be produce quicker than resin miniatures.Also less waste as the sprues which the figures are done on can be re-used.Which helps keep costs down and waste material too.
So I've no prior experience with the setting, rules, or miniatures, but glancing at the kickstarter, unit boxes seem overpriced and stupidly organized.
You want to tell me that a unit size is 3-12 models, but you only either sell 3 models in a box (for €30) or three command models (for €25). So a full unit with command is €115 euros?!
That's insane.

Yeah, the pricing seems off. The volume of plastic isn't there for those that buy miniatures by the pound and the quality isn't exactly boutique either.
Dunno if there's enough nostalgia junkies out looking for their Target Games fix to make this work.
Yeah it seems expensive for the amount of models, especially since its Kickstarter. Plus, since i have looked at some unboxing videos, the 3d renders don't make the models look good.

They have added an extra miniature to each of the 1st release trooper type boxes with another being added as a stretch goal.
The two player starter set looks to be really well priced for a starter.You could buy three of them to get each faction and double-up on one faction.
Aye, that starter set looks more than reasonable but after that there does seem to be a bit of a disconnect in terms of value.
Is it just me or is it actually tough to see the individual models on the home page for the KS? Outside of those (extremely well-) painted examples, the renders don't show much at the distance/resolution they're presented at. This likely isn't for me anyway; not a fan of the design style but many of the sculpts (I think...) but might be worthwhile if they could showcase the models better for those interested.

Now that I've seen some painted samples, I've revised my opinion from 'meh', to 'has potential'.
I still don't like how obviously digital some of the detail is, but what's been shown certainly channels a lot of what was interesting about Chronopia visually.
I only wish you could actually tell what's happening on those renders.
