It will be interesting to see what the 160k stretch ends up being

Indeed - I'm hoping it shows up in the next hour or two.

If you've ever orderd anything from amazon then your account is allready set up.

At 170k we get DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

Lame!

These feels like a mid-campaign boring goals.

A tide-you-over until the next cool figure incentive is released.

Something to drive up the funds in the coffer...in the hopes that something better lies ahead.

When did Zombicide stop giving out cool stuff?

(Goes to check...)

All the way up at $700K!

And there weren't many "Not so good" stretch goals either.

Interesting...

Indeed.

I'm also excited about the downloadable campaign that makes use of ALL the original and stretch goal figures.

And I quote...

Sedition Wars Kickstarter wrote:Update #13: Heavy weapons incoming!

Looks like Barker Zosa is going to be laying down supporting fire!


Incoming! Barker Zosa packs a mean punch with his massive Pulse Cannon. Sometimes, it's ok to blow a hole in the side of a ship. That's when you give Barker a call! Every game gets this great specialist with a choice of two weapons (Flame Thrower of Pulse Cannon).

So... what's next?


Quarantine Campaign! Everyone gets a great downloadable campaign that will make use of all the additional figures released for the Biohazard set! Play a massive 70+ miniature battle climax!


Everyone one loves dice right? Every Biohazard set gets a 6 custom Sedition Wars dice! 3 sexy Vanguard dice and 3 Strain dice!

And at 150k, you get an electronic supplement download!

Worth noting that the Mantic kickstarter started crapping its pants as soon as it put up a free download as the incentive for the next stretch (it also had an "upgraded dice" stretch goal earlier that took a while to get past), so this could mark the point where things start to slow down for this one.

Alternatively, this could be tactical on their part - they might just want to ride out the traditionally slow middle section of a kickstarter with a relatively affordable goal before coming back a week later with a bunch of new miniatures, maybe a firebrand expansion, with miniatures? Or one of those cool mechs in plastic? That would really set this thing on fire.

I suspect the custom dice fall under the heading of "things we initially wanted to do but had to cut back on due to cost", but I could be wrong.

Also, $10k for the download goal should mean that will be cleared tomorrow.

I really like the downloadable campaign goal as it actually means there's a use for all those extra models we've already got thanks to the earlier stretches. Also, more missions means more story, which is great for the fluff addict in me. I'm slightly surprised we didn't see extra boards before we saw the larger scale campaign though. Maybe those will be additional goals later on?

Personally not so bothered about the custom dice, but we've still got 25 days left to get lots more cool stuff.... so I'll take the extras anyway

wooooooooooooooooooooo!


dice dice dice dice

hope we have the option to buy extra dice at some point in the future.

There is a Firebrand expansion planned, but I doubt it is in a position to be Kickstarter'd into place yet.

Well, it means more of a use for the extra models...

I'm loving the campaign strech, and the fact that it's in the 150k level and not 160k. I'm guessing that designing the campaign is cheaper than new miniature molds. And I like a lot the dice too! Keep the goodies coming!!

im kinda glad there doing stuff that makes the game better rather than the easy "throw extra figs we allready have molds for " goals

Dysartes wrote:Well, it means more of a use for the extra models...

Oh absolutely. I'm all for any extra use for the additional models and a new campaign is always welcome. I just meant that it'd just be nice to have even larger maps

Studio McVey just posted an update looking at one of the Phase 2 Strain, the Quasimodo.

That post says that the mini was sculpted by Yannick Hennebo. I think he has sculpted some stuff for the Infinity range. It's a nice mix with Kev White.

The downloadable campaign concept feels like the sort of thing that would be available on the website a couple of months after release regardless - to keep up support and interest in the game. The dice are ok, but not something especially exciting (same as Mantic's splat dice). I'm just hoping we haven't already seen all the truly good stuff.

Then again, it's going to be hard to top all of the free minis they've already added to $100+ pledges.

Maybe. But I think that that kind of product support material should involve the available material in the box. This campaign requires extra minis that not everybody will have. They might make the minis available separately in the future, though...

You mean you don't have enough miniatures already

There's no such thing as enough miniatures, Delephont.

Too true. Too damn true >_<

I think Delephont might disagree with that statement

Updated front

I could always use even more D6's

Hmm couldnt they do what Zombiecide has done and have something where you could get bonus minis that come a few months after the initial game?

I am surprised there is not more push on boardgame geek....this game would be right up their alley. Also Fortress Ameritrash would be a great place to promote this game.

Lol, come on guys, let's face it, they already gave us what, 28 extra models or something? We can't expect them to continue at that pace, by the end of it we would be getting like 200 models for a hundred bucks...

What I would love to see, and this one I highly, highly doubt, but some kind of resin or plastic board, low profile, just some base relief really would be awesome. I'm not talking about zone mortalis height or anything, like a 5mm board with another 5mm relief or something.

Model wise, I hope they upgrade that tank thing, it looks a bit dinky... I am not a huge Vanguard fan although I do like them, but I feel the tank stands out as a bit undetailed and uninspired compared to everything else.

Other than that, the only other 'big' thing I would hope for is another big model for each side, they have some nice dread mech suits for Vanguard, and maybe some kind of big strain juggernaught thingie...

All in all, I invested in the first round, before they even hit the first stretch, for what I am getting now compared to then, it's a pretty massive haul!

Congrats Mike and Ali, you deserve this! Many of us have spent thousands if not 10's of thousands on modelling purely on the work you did for 'them', as far as I am concerned, if I can ever help you or Jes Goodwyn, I would. I owe you guys for many, many, many hours of entertainment.

Continued success!

I think we will see a few more whole game upgrades. Plastic markers for the board over cardboard, something to replace e paperclip more tiles and so forth. Still putting money on a second Zosa, it would be useful, and super inexpensive to add, plus something for kickstarters. We gotta get some exclusive mini goodness though. Nothing will push pledges more then that, even if extra pledges are required.

I said much the same thing to my wife last night when showing her this Kickstarter, with the addition of Blanche and Priestley.

I would like to see some additions to the little hover drone tank. Different turrets with different stats. Maybe twin gatling guns.

maybe a few new troops if there is enough time to sculpt them and have them printed up.

The hover tank reminds me of the drone tanks you could get in X-Com. A pair of them would be fun.
