Hmm... need to find $40 more in my budget...

Wow, probably getting the terrain, 100% getting the doctor!

Oh, I think this is new also, a new 2k pledge

Boot Camp - You and a friend get a day of personal instruction on painting from Mike and Ali McVey at their studio in Sheffield, England! You also get 2 x Biohazard sets (unpainted), and 1 character (of your choice) painted by Studio McVey! You'll need to figure out how to get to Sheffield on your own though. Please add $40 for international shipping.

Between this and Mantic...I may just have to wait to get the terrain. My wallet needs to heal for a while.

Over 5k in 2 hours. Me thinks people like these new things

So let me get this straight,

If i pledge biohazard (about £80.00 inc shipping) i get

The game
Signed Print
24 extra figs
Funky Patch
And a Resin Kara (ltd edition)

WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL??

i think i shall be pledging come payday......

I need to have the meme of Fry saying shut up and take my money bookmarked for moments like this.

Looks like I have to find some things to sell off, because I suddenly need to find an extra 50 bucks for that week.

It may be that works browser is a pile of gak but i cant see how you pay? Do they do paypal?

Considering the vast majority of pledges are the same as me (over a thousand people at $100) and the fact that I cant see many people not adding $40 for the terrain and the two Ridley models because they look so awesome and its such a good deal, then I think its safe to say that even without any new buyers they will make another $50,000 just off the existing pledges alone!

Rest assured, they will break all the current stretches anyway!

Love the artwork for the Ridley models as well, the strain infected one looks suitably grim.

Its through Amazon mate, so if you have ever bought anything off them (who hasn't?!) then your ready to rock.

Yeah and everyone knows if its on your credit card its technically free right? I can up my pledge every time they release a new model!

....

Hang on, there appears to be a large debt collector at my door with a hammer.. what can he want this early?

As for the waiting on the terrain I'm glad he's going to be able to provide that as an upsell to the game for the more hardcore/inclined. It's a great addition and the extra 4 months seems cool to me. It'll be like an extra gift I didn't know was coming

Oh, I said the wait sucks....not that I won't seriously think about it.

The terrain is awesome for the same reason as the extra minis- I can use them for more than just the basic boardgame. Just like I may have to kitbash some skirmish rules using the basic SW rules to play some skirmish-level Humans vs. Strain games, the terrain would make very cool objective markers/interactive scenery for the same thing.

Hell, I'm almost wondering what I can get for a opened but perfect condition copy of Space Hulk, and preorder a copy of SW+terrain with the money. It certainly looks more widely useable to me than Space Hulk, which frankly, I have never even gotten around to playing.

I added 40 bucks for the terraign and the figure of the Dr. Where are the selections for the choices for them?

You don't have to worry about it mate, just stick with Biohazard at 100, then add the 40 manually in the box at the top, and they will send a survey round at completion.

Guess I'm topping this order off with an additional $40 as well, good morning!

And if the game gets super funded through kickstarter, but then no one picks up a copy after it has come out, it will be a bomb. You definitely want people who missed out on the kickstarter to hear about the game and get excited, rather than feeling like they missed their only chance to get all the stuff they wanted.

Well said. I want to buy this game when it comes out, but if I get effectively ripped off for not having $100+ to back the Kickstarter right now and I miss out on twice the models and all that other stuff then I would probably just pass on it.

I'm already thinking about it because I fething love that "Ridley" figure, and that is Kickstarter only. If I can't back this thing (with Dropzone Commander coming out soon I kinda need to start saving anyway) and I miss out on that little extra I just might be pissed off enough to say feth the whole thing!

The terrain pack: awesome idea, by the way. Probably overpriced at $40 MSRP, I don't know, but it sounds like a really cool idea and if I do get the game I'm definitely getting that to go with it.

Damn you McVey!

*finds an extra $40*

Ahh, there goes the wallet. Easy Come Easy Go...

Kickstarter or convention only, so if you see Studio McVey at a show you'd be able to get her.

$40 for 70 pieces is probably overpriced? You're going to get a lot of use out of those components when playing.

Are the models single part casts only, or multiple? Was wondering as I wouldn't mind doing a few different poses for the troops in the box.

yeah,
And so it begins!

Bumped mine $40...

The Kickstart grand total is now at $182,868

Panic...

Aye, as I said, its gonna fething fly up now, I cant see many people not sticking the extra $40 on top to get the scenery and Rippers model.

The terrain, extra model and new stretch goal is an inspired piece of business... That'll be another $40 from me too!

Well I don't have money to go to cons so it would have to be this or eBay. And I bet you anything people will try to milk the feth out of those figures on eBay...if I had to guess ambitious sellers would probably be listing them for $30-50 each simply because it's god-damned Ripley and because of its exclusivity.

Well, like I said, I was kind of unsure about that...probably overpriced, I don't know...at first glance it was slightly off-putting, but it's not really that bad of a deal in hindsight. I could see myself waiting until the general release and buying that at $40 without kicking myself too hard for it.

It just seemed like a lot of money to spend on a board game at first, but seeing as how I could probably have more fun playing this than Space Hulk (in my opinion the figures are WAY nicer and I'm actually kind of eager to try and paint some up, haven't felt that way about a model release in a long time), I can see myself doing it. I still got 20 days so I'll probably chip in and support this.

Generally speaking, I think they're multi-part figures - I think the Samaritans are meant to be in two parts (body & gun), and larger models will be in more pieces.

They got my extra 40 bucks too... and seeing how close this is to 190k, I'm not the only one increasing their pledge

Damn! DAMN! No money for this sort of thing, I will save some pennies and next year at Salute I will get some of those things... I'm looking at Ripley!!!!!!!!

Really on the fence about this still.

Pro:
1. It's great value at about £81 delivered.
2. The game looks fun
3. Get to be smug if I meet people who buy it on release

Con:
1. More excited about 6th edition 40K, don't have money for both.
2. This kickstarter effectively rules out the possibility that I'd buy this on release, so it has to be backed or ignored. (I'd feel like I was being ripped off if I bought it later with half the figs)
3. Don't actually have anyone to play this with + every game I did manage to play would basically be an introductory 'How to play an obscure board game' session.

Terrain pack is $30 - $40 is terrain + ripley.

After the Kickstarter, the Terrain will be $40

I wonder if McVey has enough time to read through all of these new posts though, I am a bit curious to know HOW BIG the terrain is. I mean I guess I can understand why its 70 pieces if most of these are like half as big as your average 28mm figure
