I believe your right.. I am having to wait till the friday before, due to pay cycles..

I will definitely be getting a pack of these for myself!

4 Stretchgoals
726 new backers
$143,446 new pledges
All in one day.

7 days left to go.

Brings the total number of miniatures which have already been added to the Vampire level to 155. Less than 65 cents per miniature and there are still another 16 which have already been revealed that will likely be added to that number relatively quickly.

Some scale photos of the larger minis:

I plan on getting the bone giant, and reposing him some.. thanks for the pics..

For $10, I will probably get at least 2 of the bone giants, its my favorite sculpt so far (out of all of the "for pay" stretch goals). I'm in a vampire, but it looks like my costs will be 3x that at least, lol, once I add in all the extras I want.

And here I am sitting on a ton of newly assembled and as of yet unpainted nurglings, plaguebearers, and a ton of CSM stuff.
I will need a new room to store my unpainted models in...I've been so busy assembling I haven't gotten to painting in a while.

I would like to get more.. But just dont have the capital.. I am happy with what they do with vampire level..

The Vampire level offer is just ridiculously good value for money now. I don't play alot of fantasy or D&D but these miniatures are just to good to pass up for the price just for something different and cool to paint.

So, more pledges now than zombicide.

Wow, I may end up getting the Vampire Level. But I also want the case of old con sophies!

Those of who who want to pledge, listen here: pledge now.

More people pledging means more stuff, and more stuff means more people pledging... If you alredy made your mind and will take it, go there and make your pledge...

That way, you increase the pledge ammount and uncover new stuff.

Later, if you want to add new things, you only need to update your pledge value, serious, its non sense to wait for the last day

PS: most credit cards throw payments made after day 20 of the the mont, for the 10th day of the post-next month. That means, we will only have to pay for this kickstarter at october 10. Cmon guys, lets uncover more free stuff for everyone ^^

Someone has a little war band painted up that includes some of the figs, a giant and the Ogre warchief from the Mind Your Manor's stretch goal, and Tre's (closed) red box games kickstarter:

OK, now that looks great. Very thematic. Except for the whole shirtless-barbarians-meet-snow thing. Saving that pic as inspiration, regardless. Looks like it'd be perfect for something like that game that Alessio and Rick wrote recently.. ah yes - Fanticide.

Are you paying attention, Relic Knights/CMON?!?

This deal is already at the "Cannot Resist Even Though I Really Don't Need These Miniatures" level - how much more will they add!?!?!

Yes - but I didn't want to mention that in 4 days, they got one stretch goal, and it added fancy versions of the cards they already had. Might cause some people to give up in despair...

And this is almost assuredly going to be Kickstarter's first Million Dollar game!

Wow!

The value is unbelievable!

I am actually thinking 2 - but that is only if the potential well doesn't run dry first. There are still a lot of people who are waiting till next Friday to get into the mix - and there are others who are a little uncertain about the value compared to import issues, but this is quickly reaching that critical point where almost anyone who looks at it says "What the hell, for that deal I am in"

About half the comments on the KS comment stream are from people who haven't painted a miniature ever or haven't painted them since they were kids. Lots of new blood coming in that wasn't available to campaigns like KoW. There are also a crap load of great options which really are a good deal (Dragons for $10 which will retail for $25-30). This should drive the pledge per backer average upwards past the $200 mark when everyone gets around to making their list and checking it twice. So, if you compare the increases in backers over the last 7 days of a campaign (ends up being about double) and look at the number of backers currently (4592)...quick math, $1,836,800. Figure the extra $200,000 should come with just the excitement it should bring in the last couple days (what with yesterday bringing in nearly $150K).

Granted it could sputter and stall out, but today is already the second best day of the campaign again (not likely to be yesterday's numbers - but a lot of those are related to a massive boost from Paizo and Reaper partnering on the Pathfinder miniatures and the announcement made through their mailing lists, blogs, tweets and at GenCon).

The painter has a WIP on his blog:

Thanks for the link. I've bookmarked it for later. (March, perhaps?)

I've got a mate on another forum who has tentatively been getting back into mini painting after not having done any in 15 or so years. He's been hovering around things like the Mantic KoW KS, but went in on the Reaper one with one of the $1k level pledges. I worked out my projected spends with the link Reaper sent out today, and my "needs" comes to $437 so far and my wants to $879 ...so far. I'm only down for $125 right now, until I get paid this week and take care of RL priorities to see what I've got left.

Yep, I think the paint options really help in that regard...plus the huge variety and low prices.

For people who aren't too sure of themselves, they can paint a miniature...and if it doesn't come out like they want, just toss it aside and grab another. Works out fairly well for them. Plus the $1.50 paints are a good buy all around.

BTW - it is looking more and more like there will be another reveal yet today. Only $20K left on this particular stretch goal and apparently the last hour was an $8K hour (which, if you want to be disheartened was more than RK made all of today...and yesterday combined).

Having the iconics as a visible stretch goal was such a smart thing to do. After the Pathfinder goblins, I think this stretch goal will do a lot to get the word of mouth going among Pathfinder RPG fans.

...and other players besides. Whereas many reaper sculpts tend to have a somewhat specific, 'retro' appeal, these appeal to a very broad audience.
