What's a sticky?

I totally agree to this

This.

A post on the OptiCamo sets:

For the stretch characters, that's the base characters included in the base set, and Barker as he's now part of the base set (not the resin Kara).

No Glow in the Dark Grendlr or Cthonian though

If it is up to his level of painting/instruction - I would agree.

If not, to each his own.

I'm hoping the next stretch goal will give us a second Cthonian. Two of those and two tanks would be fantastic!

Anything else is gravy I think. Lots of cool stuff for sure.

Went for Biohazard plus scenery a couple of days ago. Bumped to to $150 for Lights Out instead of the scenery. Green glowy Necromunda sump creatures FTW!

I'm not sure if that will happen, as they said the highest Stain Types (of which I a ssume the Cthonian is one) are the Strain's "characters". It'd be about as useful as getting a second Barker, as only one at a time likely hits the table.

That's a shame. I saw that one as more the equivalent of the tank. Ah well.

Still, maybe there's hope. We are getting two Kara's after all!

I thought so too, but the latest Blog from McVey (specifically about the Cthonian) said that they are their characters, so "only one".

It's possible that the Stain "tank" is the Brimstone, with it's main chest-gun. You get more than one Brimstone with the game vs. one tank, though so I assume it's probably "lighter weight" than a tank. Maybe it's a Strain tactic to engage something like that with multiple Brimstones?

A limited edition Resin Cthonian would be pretty cool

I'm still not sold on the game itself, but the Opticamo Vanguard set looks good: nine female Vanguard for $31 is better than nineteen for $125. I'll probably paint the faces normally and leave the armour and weapons transparent.

@Mike McVey: does the transparent or glow in the dark material take casts of equal quality to the normal models?

That is $250,000 now... Now to $270,000 and another tank!

At this point even if the game sucks I can at least use the Strain for my Dark Mechanicus army.

I am in for a Biohazard, scenery plus Ridley.

My poor credit card - only just pledged a similar amount to Mantic

And near the end of June of the year 2012 we heard the outrcy of a million wallets!!

Looks like the mayans were not so much into announcing the end of the world but rather the advent of some really great kickstarts.

...yeah. just about needed one of those, too.

That 2nd tank is drawing ever closer :-D

Hey - can someone doublecheck with Mike or his Kickstarter to make sure we can get multiples of the extras?

I'd like to get 2x of the terrain sets, and when I think about it, I'd also like to get 2x of the Ripley sets as well... maybe more dice..

I want ALL the Ripleys!

AFAIK You can order as many of each as you want as they are extras. You could, if you wanted, order 20 sets of the transparent Vanguard

Even the body horror Ripleys?

Good luck with getting any "Ripleys"....especially seeing as thats not even an option for this Kickstarter

You know, it's always heart warming to be reminded about the gaming community's response to humour.........

Because that type of stuff translates so well on the Internet on a forum full of...let's just say...assertive individuals.

Anyway, tracking towards $450K, though I still think the right stretch goals will push this into Zombicide territory!
