New stretch goal!!! (Just a rough sketch this time, they can't keep up!)

Stretch Goal #12 $42,000:
Carnage hound. The carnage hound is a massive bloated muscled beast. It requires a 80mm base. The creature has grown massive eating and absorbing alien DNA from many variations of creatures and the bursts of speed from the creature are surprising due to it's size. Add a carnage hound at $15. Swarm level adds a Goliath wyrm while queen levels add 2 carnage hounds!

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better! Interested to see if we make it to 42k though.

Also, I never noticed that the queen level pledge gets free international shipping as well, more money to buy add ons then!

So many units. I'm more tempted to see cool alien terrain. Forge World released some stuff many years ago, but imagine your whole table covered by some sort of alien hive!

FW Tyranid terrain is OOP for years. So I second that cool Alien terrain, esp. a big hive would be nice.

Just $800 needed for the 42k !!

Now it's $490 left and 6 hours!

Couldn't resist - upgraded to Swarm.

I have a feeling that by around the middle of next year my boat will have sunk under the weight of all the KS goodies heading my way.

Surely there's someone out there who knows how to cure this hellsih addiction...

International shipping is free on Queen...

Not helping his addiction right there!

Huh, there goes $42k.

One final stretch for queen guards and of course, more freebies!

Yeah, cheers Casey - I'll save myself that $10 by spending 90 more...

What? That totally makes sense!

Queen Guard deploy. These are a grub body with torso of a smaller queen torso and very mobile protectors of the queen. The concept art is rough placeholder while Des works this up for all of you. I will add 2 carnage hounds to the swarm level, Queen will get 6 of the queen guard.

And there are your Raveners.

Anyone have any idea what the heck a Goliath Wyrm could be used as? Same for the Cannon Drone and Queen. They seem really large for what they could proxy as on the field for Tyranids. Not that I am complaining, I just have no idea what they could proxy as!

yup.
what's more, it looks like Ed's sculpting style here is just about a 100% match to the hideous-in-the-most-possibly-positive-sense-of-the-word chapterhouse lash whips (and boneswords!) making for some very nasty units indeed for 40k, or just generally hideous-looking units pretty much all-round

Yeah, that's the kind of sense that I normally go for

'What, this big box of models to go with all my other unpainted crap? It was on sale, I've saved £50.'

Cannon drone is going to be big enough to go as a tyrannofex, queen for what I've heard would be a nice tyranid alpha.
I'd like some biovore-sized mini cannon drones, but you can't have everything.

Oi! We're getting power armoured troops!

Latest update

I just hope the design will be a bit more original from that many companies do (basically make "not-Space Marines").

That stretch goal is at 50K, so I'm not so sure we'll be getting power armored troops as part of this Kickstarter!

6k in 4 hours? Hmm...you might be right. Still very curious what Ed had in mind for the design though...

Who knows though?

This campaign has already done almost $9K today!

only just under 4K needed now, and still over 4 hours left

we can do it

Finally back from work. Too exhausted to figure out what gets me the most/best value models, just dropped $200 on Queen

Wow I go out for 3 hours and we blow through 2 more stretch goals and I now have 2 Carnage Hounds and 6 Queens Guard I wasn't expecting if we hit $50k I actually don't know what I will get with the extra $20 as I have everything I could possibly want including 111 scenic bases of various sizes and 2 Dreadnoughts. All I'm dropping from the Queen level now is the Goliath worm and a Fiend as I don't like either and they give me $60 credit for the Dreadnoughts and Eggs.

Proper Artwork for Queen Guard just in:



$1,452 to $50k looks like a done deal now.

This has gone insane! Almost 48.5K and climbing and the deals are better each time.

Fenris- For me, Goliath Wyrm as Trygon, Cannon Drone as Tyrannofex, I think.

Edit: Hellooooooo Raveners

You know what? GW doesn't want me to buy a Megaforce through an online retailer? Fine, if they don't want my money Ed can have it. Queen level here I go.

BTW $1,270 away from $50k.

Revised Goliath Art - damn it I was going to trade this for $40 credit but I really like the new design so I'll rejuggle a bit and now I have use of the $20 bonus credit

I"m not so sold on the aliens, but I'll put in for the big hunter forces bundle, in hopes of trading in some of the basic troopers for power armor guys.

It's a freaking Hydra!!!

Less than $500 from 50K now

$50,000 is done.

Really wish I had the cash for the Queen level now, it looks so fething good!

Edit: Oh nice,

'As a bonus to everyone in the kickstarter I'll give everyone involved in a $25 level pledge or higher either 10 bases or choice of 3 alien in the 30-40mm base size range. This would include swarm adults, swarm warriors, stealth warrios, hosts, grubs, alien hunters of both type, you choose your gift. This means queen, host, and swarm also add this on top of the gifts you have. Collectors, base level pledges people combining pledges all of you, just get $25 in and your good. My thanks.'

might bulk up the number of stealth warriors, I love their art!

He's also adding $10 of credit to every pledge level now that we've hit $50,000.
I think that's in addition to the above anyway, might have misunderstood.
