Everyone has access to the forums. After the KS is finished only backers will have access to the development forum. ATM the development forum is open to all.

Note that the rest of the forum is a normal forum and is open to all.

Please make sure you sign up to the forum with the same email address as your Kickstarter account. This will be used to determine whether you retain access to the development section after the kickstarter closes.

Is that really a requirement? I login to kickstarter through facebook rather than having a kickstarter account, so how are they going to match that up to my account on the DSG forums?

Good question. I'll try and find an answer for you on that one... (while I check...) I would assume that if you have used Facebook to sign up, you just need to use the same email address as Facebook instead. The integration between Kickstarter and Facebook is likely to pass this information across, otherwise you'd never get any update emails from Kickstarter.

I've just confirmed with Rik that if you've signed up to Kickstarter using Facebook, use the same email address that you use for Facebook notifications when signing up to the GoA forums.

If you've already subscribed to the forum with something else we can sort that when it comes to securing the dev forum access at the end of February, so it's not a big deal.

For those of you that are work blocked, here's the image from said update with the first piece of Kev's work on the Hansa model. He will keep showing previews of the work as it goes along.

Rik, don't know if I've missed this somewhere, but could you explain what the "Big Bang Reward Tier" is about that is mentioned at the Singularity level, please?

The Big Bang reward tier is listed on the Kickstarter site and is the £1 level. This gets you access to the Alpha and Beta PDF documents and access to the development forum after the Kickstarter finishes.

As for the game itself, what's going to make or break it for me is the models. Other guys at my store are showing interest in it (including some VERY die hard 40k players) so a good miniature line is what will sell me on it. The heavy reliance on drones worries me, as I'd like to use 100% human forces if possible. Maybe they'll have a rebel/wastelander/pirate faction that can't afford drones though. That would probably be the push I need to go in.

You don't *have* to use Drones for anyone. The example lists they put up don't use any drones at all. If you're looking for more of a rebel/wastelander faction then you'd be looking at the Freeborn, a loose alliance of smaller worlds that can't really interface properly with the high end technology like the Wardrones.
