Son of a...damn them! They did a resculpt of the heroes and the boss, but the others stay the same. Argh! Are you telling me I'll have to buy the whole damn set again just to have those? What will I do with another set of turtles, troll and lava beetles? I already bought TWO of these sets at the time of 1st edition!

Sorry, it was my rant. Love the resculpts, by the way.

Ive just got my dark consul late pledge refund, since they are changing the rules so much my forgotten king box is essentially useless with SDE Legends.

Really bad that they wouldn't give all the new cards to those of us that were good enough to buy the core earlier

Soda Pop recently updated their Facebook profile with this pic. Self-explanatory, but for people who can't see it:
"Relic Knights 2nd edition
Kickstarter February 27th 3:00 pm EST"

Also, Soda Pop pulled its entire line of Relic Knights from its online store, including its resins. I'm guessing they'll just relaunch the line w/ the kickstarter, but I can't help but wonder if this implies that they'll be adding on some of the existing stock to the kickstarter.

Other than Bang Bang and "Milky", not much model wise that aesthetically interests me in that image.

More sci-fi miniatures featuring generic robots and humanoid forms in armor? Seems fairly common place - looks like Infinity, not Relic Knights.

I rather enjoyed the different approach that much of Relic Knights took in its first edition. My interest in the Kickstarter went from a 9/10 to a solid 5/10.

I was really hoping for more Ayu Beat, etc., less generic power armor. Of course, it is all up to personal taste... what do others think?

Honestly, for me, it 100% depends on what else is in the KS. I won't pay $75 to $100 for a rulebook and the models in that picture.

They'd probably hook me good if they were offering re-scaled relic knights, though. A properly sized One Shot would break my resistance.

And, if my gut feeling is correct and SP adds faction intro sets, I'd probably be willing to take the plunge on one or five of 'em, depending on the offerings and whether they were resin or restic.

Nor will I. Honestly, after 2+ years of patient waiting for the next big Relic Knights release, I'm pretty disappointed seeing that image.

But I know that the Kickstarter will include more than that image. I guess that will make or break my interest in pledging - I have picking up plenty of unpainted fire-sale-priced Relic Knight models from Amazon and Ebay lately anyway.

I like the look of the new stuff they have been putting out for RK. But I have plenty of their models already and am not inclined to jump on the KS train just to get a bunch more. Maybe if the game had gotten more traction in my group. All the same, I wish them luck.

After already seeing homages to Devil May Cry, not surprised in the least to see a Bayonetta figure.

Anyone built any of their new resins? One thing I liked about the restic stuff was that for the most part it was nice and solid. Didn't need to worry about breaking things.

Then again I have all the Noh and they're huge, so that's probably not the best evidence of durability.

Yeah, I've put together a few of 'em.

The material's not like other boutique resins, which is rigid and brittle; rather, it's slightly flexible, almost rubbery – you can bend it with your hands, and it has a good amount of give. Probably due to that flexibility, most of the models I've gotten have had some bending issues; Rustbucket had a tweaked gun, Jenner had a bent sword, Void Witch had a crooked staff and an off-angle umbra, etc. A hot water bath fixed those issues; I used ~180F, which was likely hotter than I actually needed.

They're comparable in weight to the restic miniatures. I didn't try using plastic cement on the resin, so I don't know how that would interact, but I know plastic cement doesn't work on Soda Pop's restic (or at least, it didn't work for me). Standard super-glue bond issues (aka, strong-but-brittle), but without the weight of metal, they're basically permanent. (Some of the models suffer from small surface area, fair warning.)

Overall, the molds themselves are very clean. Out of the 7 or 8 kits I've built, the only one with really significant issues was Rhouss Fixer: One of the heads has flash on top of some detail. Rustbucket had a few bubbles and some less-than-crisp lines I had to fill or rebuild, and Void Witch had some issues in her drapery I had to fix.

Overall, they're less work than a Malifaux HIPS kit, but more work than a GW HIPS kit. They're a little more work than a typical boutique resin (think Victoria), but probably a little more resilient.

Sadly she's out of production and despite initially planning to make more (and getting the ok from Adam at KD) from what people around Soda Pop have said on facebook that's no longer going to happen

so ebay prices tend to be around $100 (curse my inability to let go of cool figures even if I could make a bucket of cash from them)

Taking a 10% hit on is pretty painful, but I completely understand your position. They had said it would be small changes, not a complete overhaul. Personally, I don't like the new SDE rules at all, and am just looking at playing under the old rules or house rules.

Pass on RK2, having sold off RK1, and not really having the time to start over with a new game system.

Hard pass on MLP, as it's just not to my interest.

Ever since we announced Relic Knights: 2nd Edition, one of the most common questions we’ve received is, “what about model quality?” In our initial announcement article, we talked about the steps we have been taking to ensure that your Relic Knights: 2nd Edition experience is dominated by the stunning models your battlefield deserves.

Today we’re going a step further to show you some samples of actual resin production models from the 2-Player Starter set. The models are still on the sprue and have not received any cleanup. They’re also blown-up significantly larger than the actual physical pieces—far larger than the actual piece is in real life. Despite this, the detail holds up to remarkable levels. The quality captured speaks for itself, so let’s get straight to the pictures!


We start off with one of the burly Sundown Enforcers that make up Bang-Bang’s Radiant Cadre. A squad of three Sundown Enforcers are included in the 2-Player Starter. Each model is big and burly standing on a 40mm base. This model is entirely single-cast. All you need to do is glue it to its base and it’s read to play and paint. You can see the incredible detail captured on the model including the armor’s detailing and even the little chips and scratches suffered in battle.


Next is a Dark Pinion, part of Tahariel’s Void Cadre. A squad of three Dark Pinions are included in the 2-Player Starter. Once again this model is single-cast and ready to see action. Like the Enforcer, the Dark Pinion has lots of different layers to its armor that show up brilliantly in the cast with nice clean edges and even undercuts. Of particular notice is the circle detailing on the hip which not only is nice and clean, but has a very delicate inset circle that is captured perfectly.


The Radiant Questing Knight, Bang-Bang is a gunslinger extraordinaire and displays some extraordinary detail befitting such a personality. In contrast to the Sundown Enforcers and Dark Pinions, which are all hard edges and armor, Bang-Bang is all about graceful curves and soft fabrics. Of particular note are the creases in her shorts, and at the shoulders and elbows of her jacket. These are small, delicate creases on a model that is only 32mm tall and nonetheless translate perfectly from the sculpt we previewed earlier. The skirt of the jacket on the back-angle also shows some very subtle depth and movement from the gather along the hips to the slight tug of the fabric along the bottom of the jacket’s trim. Let’s not forget those perfectly sculpted abs and belly button. Bang-Bang has done a crunch or 10 in her time we wager. Bang-Bang also has some very delicate hard detail, such as the bullets around her boots, the sheriff-star belt buckle, and her six-shooters. The guns are particularly notable as they are tiny pieces, but you can easily make out the detail of the hammer, cylinder, and sights.


The Void Questing Knight, Tahariel is a simply stunning. She also demonstrates how well multiple types of detail are captured. The hard lines of her staff’s headpiece are sharp and well defined, including the thin and delicate components that overlap. The soft folds of her robe are soft and luxurious, and the subtle creases in her stockings are evident with clarity. Of particular note is Tahariel’s face. Her eyes, eye brows, and mouth are all easily visible and beautifully represented. Even the small nose, which is characteristic of Relic Knight’s anime influences, is realized perfectly.

As you can see, we’ve put an incredible amount of care and love into revitalizing Relic Knight’s signature look and making sure the models delivered to you are true representations of the art, expertly translate from sculpt to model, and are breathtaking to behold. We look forward to showing you even more exciting Relic Knights content on our Kickstarter, February 27, 3:00pm EST.

I actually made 20 quid. I late pledged via the sodapop website, technically a sale not a pledge, so full refund, including postage. And thanks to exchange rates, I got more back than I paid back then.

Can you please tell me more about this - I bought the Legends level in the KS, and I have the original box of SDE and Forgotten King.

Will I not be able to use all that stuff with Legends?

And these are...Prodos' Unicast then?

I mean, did we already 'know' this?

Can anyone comment on how this game plays?
