Good point DaveC. When is Relic Knights supposed to get anywhere? I haven't gotten any shipping info as far as I know.

Tons of people at the local store (Dream Wizards) have pledged for Relic Knights... that will be a real crucial "make or break" for CMON depending on how it delivers. It's already sooo late, so it better be good!

Zombicide is great, imo... Mark is bringing it to the store tonight if you have any chance of making it in (who am I kidding, right? you're probably in perpetual class then )

*L* I was no doubt while drawing phase diagrams of proprietary gradients for virtues and discussing whether or not approbation can be confiscated or transferred. Not even kidding (though it is fascinating!)

In December I am going to game my eyes out, and hopefully get to play those boxes of Zombicide sitting on my shelf!

It's a lot of fun, and I actually lived this time! Maybe in December you'll have your Relic Knight too, as most WoK backers are hoping will be the case...

I don't get why we've seen production photos for a lot of these models (more than Deadzone) and the model quality here is in question but not anymore on the mantic thread..

*Shrug* I don't know. I have a lot of faith in Deke myself, but I have had more personal experience with him than some I guess. Early adopter of the line, and all that.

Yeah, I'd actually missed that update somehow and when I was messing around and trying to figure out what I wanted to add I decided to look for the rulebook to see if there was any particular style I might prefer and found the link to those production shots and they look awesome.

Oh well. Like I said earlier. I can get the entire line for less than a 40k army. Which is enough to get 5 people into this locally which should be fine. At this point I'm just debating whether or not to order extras of some of the monsters and the base inserts.

Don't know if anyone has shared this yet:

It's got a ton of the production mini's out of the bag. Stuff looks awesome.

Told y'all.

I'm so torn on this one, I like it, but not sure if I like it enough to re- up for ancient king.

Interesting comment at about 8:50-

"The plastic of the weapons might change, this one is the same as this one (Note: he was referring to a PVC model at the time), however a couple of the other ones are a different material"

The weapons being polystyrene was what almost got me in on this campaign... is that not going to be the case? Now that I've been paying attention to the differences between polystyrene and PVC, I would kill for something like the Trollbloods Fennblades models to have their bodies made from PVC, and their weapons from polystyrene.

So... I hope they stick with that plan as it was what I was most excited about for this campaign.

Weapons are supposed to be a different plastic. I wouldn't read to much into that single comment since every, single, other model he showed was plastic weapons.

Oh, good to know . Sorry, didn't have a lot of time when viewing it and that's the very first one he showed!

Why would you backlight yourself when filming? Good lord.

The models look great though! Really tempted to up my pledge a bit.

Youtube appears to be blocked in China!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

Still, I'll have until the 31st of December to check it out, so if it is good as you're saying - I'm in!

@Alph

I think it is. Granted they are the first run off the molds and he makes that clear. And they might change the plastic mix to better take paint but the models look excellent. The detail is definitely there and the mold lines seem light. Again, it's the first run off the molds but I'm pumped now

Okay, so I managed to miss this KS entirely (strange, I know) but a friend of mine has a $1 placeholder pledge I can piggyback on now in the pledge manager. Now that all the excitement of the campaign has died down, do you folks still think it's worth taking the plunge?

The answer really depends on what you want to get out of it

It's 'another' skirmish game, so do you think you'll have people to play with

(assuming you're not getting it for 'counts as' or painting like me)

The minis are still mainly restic so if you hate the material stay away,

that said they look decent and the weapons being in a different plastic will help avoid restic's problems with sharp detail and the stuff throne of angels had shows they can be cast with minimal mould lines

this is all CMON's baby, no other companies to share the blame if things go wrong mean I think the might just be more on the ball with quality control & shipping than they've been before (and their decision to airfreight relic knights shows that's improving anyway)

I'm happy I'm in the KS and actually added a bit more cash via the pledge manager, but only for a couple of the factions, overall the factions look too disparate for me to be all in

What Orlando said. I'm still excited enough to take the plunge. I'll be getting the full range for all factions. Mostly this is because I plan on working it up in our area. It will fill that fantasy itch a lot of us have since we've been driven out of WFB. We all like fast skirmish/battle games and this looks solid.

Sculpts for the Alternate lvl. 1 leaders are in this update.

Anyone going to up their pledge? I was just in for the King and the Kingdom Death miniature bur seriously considering either getting two or all five factions with a few extras.

I'm liking this one more and more the more I see, but I overloaded the budget on Kickstarters this year, and combined with Holiday Spending, I don't think I'm going to have any room to add anything to my $1 pledge before the deadline on this one hits.

Between myself and Barzam, we've got everything but Shael Han.

Then I went and got everything extra for Shael Han even though neither of us are getting their starter. If their infantry would have just ditched the bathrobes and put some fighting clothes on I would be all in for them.

I'm going to continue to plant that Mordheim idea all Inception- style everywhere I go- I believe Mr. Black mentioned it first. Possibly in that one mercenary city state?

Ongoing small scale fantasy skirmish with their unique designs? I'd be all over it.

Hopefully all the communications and presentations going on at CMON will bode well for the future. Maybe we'll even get this one reasonably on time?

Still looking for someone in the UK or perhaps Europe prepared to order an extra of the Twilight Knight...PM me please

Ending on 12/31 is a bummer.

Ending on 1/3 and I would've been good to go!

A Tuesday ending is a killer!

I went all in!
Had dropped back to just the zombicide guys, but really, I do like the look of a lot of this stuff. So ancient king and a bunch of extras.

Ended up splitting a pledge with a friend and bought one of everything for Teknes and Goritsi plus all the crossover miniatures. Poor Hadross got traded back in.

I've messaged them with a request for a slight extension on the Pledge Manger thing.

If they can let me pay on Friday instead of Tuesday, I'll be in for about $350 more.

If they can't, no hard feelings and they'll only have my $1.

We'll see!

Updated cards are up now too.

I just broke down and upped my $1 to the King level. I love the fluff, but only like the aesthetic of Goritsi and Teknes. Had to suppress my completionist tendencies.

Hopefully with the pledge manager closing today and Rivet wars being fulfilled, CMoNs "come to Jesus" moment regarding customer service doesn't evaporate in a couple days.

This describes me EXACTLY - down to the two factions I'm interested, and my urge to 'catch 'em all' too!

I'm tempted to add Hadross to the list... must resist...
