Yeah, it's actually a lot clearer than the Mantic one currently is.

And its on pace to hit the $240k mark by this afternoon/evening. Then on to the extra Tank!!!

I just upped and said the hell with it.

280 for a 190.00 pledge, plus all of the snacks I wanted, minus the dice.




the quality of this stuff to me is the point.

Mike comes out of left field, pushes a whole new level of badass, and-

Gets my money.


Isn't it funny how another unnamed "Boardgame" couldn't have done this vary same thing and added even more then just a "movie pitch"...

I haven't heard anything beyond 2 players, aside from the obvious ability to split the sides with a friend for 2-on-2.

Of course, with new additions all the time, I'll get to the stage where I stop adding and start subbing.

At this point I am just going to wait and see what the final offers are before I add more money. I might just get two sets and not worry about other stuff.... but who knows.

According to one of Mike's posts over on the Studio McVey forum, the solo rules that we're getting for free will most likely be improved upon and added into the first expansion set, along with multiplayer rules.

Guess I'll have to add sigourney weaver to my pledge. can't resist. What about the extra dice, from the video I got the idea that we only need 3D6 to play.. is it worth getting extras or is it really just for folks that wanna collect em? If they're just extra then I'll be fine with the set that comes with the pledge

You'll need more than 3 dice each as any sixes give you another dice. The video wouldn't play for me, so I don't know if the extra dice also explode

I have to admit - exploding d6's are not something I'm fond of...

Might just be my anti-Rackham bias shining through though!

OK dumbass question coming up..

im going in for biohazard.. do i include the $25 shipping to UK in the pledge amount or is it calculated later?

You add it into your pledge, but tick the $100 level. At the end of the campaign they will send out a questionnaire to see what you wanted to spend your money on from the bonuses

yes, include it now.

edit everything gets ninja'ed nowadays.

Cheers guys,

I have to admit - exploding d6's are not something I'm fond of...

Yeah, but exploding d6's are how you do more than shoot a guy and do minimal damage, because even with rolling 3D6, you might be trying to hit a "17". Plus each "6" is what adds extra damage above the base value from an attack, because it looks like most of the time a "normal" hit isn;t going to kill the guy you are shooting at, just wound them.

I really like their method for figuring out an attack+wound with just one roll of the dice.

The cool thing is that now we are getting the 6 special D6's in addition to the dice that the game already was going to have. And (if) the attack mechanic means that only the 6's on the initial three D6 matter for damage, it'll be a kind of cool way to track what explodes by rolling that side's 3 special dice, and then for every one that explodes you can roll one of the regular D6.

it would be more fun if the dice exploded for real. They could make a lot of extra cash selling new dice to replace our blow'd up ones

Security googles sold separately.

Right im in for biohazard..

ill probably upgrade with some options later though....

Nice !
250k goal :

If we hit this stretch, Mike and Ali will put together a short painting tutorial to get your Battle for Alabaster miniature windfall into decent shape! Every Biohazard set will receive a DVD (region free) with a short tutorial specifically for this Kickstarter. Depending on space limitations, a HD version you can play on your computer will either be included or downloadable.

Newest stretch goal seems a stretch. Keep the painting DVD, send me more minis.

I'm okay with a DVD actually, could do with some pro painting tips.

yeah depending on what techniques are in it .could be quite good :]

Just caved in and got me Biohazard, Ridley and Scenery...

McVey was pretty much the main Eavy Metal dude in the days. His work is second to none I really find on the net. A painting DVD by him is actually a damn good stretch goal.


** In fact, he is one of the people who got me into painting so, I look forward to it.

Assuming it's moderate to advanced, that'll certainly be welcome. If it's more basic than that, I'm not very interested...

Like the dvd idea, but personally I'd prefer a HD download

Just wondering why my credit card wasn't charged for kickstarter..? Do they charge at the end? I forget and if so.. what happens if they don';t get the cash on the first try does it cancel out your pledge or do you have a chance to still pay the cash?

Yes, the charge at the end. If they don't reach their goal then no money is substracted from your account.

Thanks. What happens if for some reason a payment doesn't go through right away? VISA @ my bank tends to lock my visa anytime an online purchase is attempted to be charged especially if it is at an odd hour.

I can see that we might eventually need a "This is How Kickstarter Works" sticky... for all the good that does, as no one reads stickies either!

kickstarter gives you about a week to remedy a failed payment, which acts much more like a "regular" CC transaction.

...you'll be fine, really. don't worry

Thanks for the helpful replies guys. I just wanted to make sure I can afford the things I want haha.

I like to pay for things full and up front immediately to avoid the money dissapearing later to lol. I also would have read a sticky!


I'm really looking forward to SW coming out, even just to paint the guys plus it seems like an easy game to introduce people to.
