True, but he did mention a technical writer, for the rulebook. Someone much better than me, at any rate.

I hate to say it but I pulled my pledge.

I'm not looking to collect an imperial guard army right now and the game seems way focused on Giant Titans. I don't like titans in 40k and that seems to be 90% maybe if Mark does a new kickstarter for more troop types and stuff I'll bite but right now I'll bank my pledge.

Not helping I know, I just don't see enough love for player who use troops only.

blah, i want to toss in on this, but.....i have to get new tires first

He's going to post the render of the command squad today. That's love for us troopers-only pledgers

Under $700 to go until we hit the next stretch!

To be honest, there is about as much trooper as titan in this.

the regular troopers and then the heavy weapons are a lot.
And then the accessory pack as well.

Now the command squad.

Still think the titan is the money maker... but happy to be proven VERY wrong and this to go gang busters

C'mon heavy infantry!!!!!!!

I agree, even I would get some of the heavy infantry (and I really only want the titans )

Rest of the goals are up now.

Oh gak, 15mm mortis and weapons. Ima be so broke.

Interesting.

$105 - Command Squad
$110 - 15mm Mortis (SWEET!!)
$115 - 15mm weapons.

No idea how he is going to do all the 15mm weapons. Also appears that they cannot be left and right for all of them... but that could just be a speed typo

It does seem like a lot of new kits for such small stretches, i hope hes not over extending.

Depending on the price points for these will determine 2 big and 1 small or 1 big and 2 small.

And arms

I'm thinking he had to put all 28mm arm sprues onto the same mould, and then could only afford it if enough money was raised, and thus was ported rather easily to 15mm.

I could be completely wrong (ah! There's a thought!)

A 15mm Mortis. A 15MM MORTIS!!!! How could I not know I needed that all my life. These would make wonderful daemon engines for... other games.

Just noticed that on the 15mm weapons it shows that only the bottom 2 need notification of L or R. Which would mean the others make both, though he hasnt said that outright.

Uggh just totaled up what i would want in my head, its depressing to say the least

Need to know what that extra 15mm stuff will cost! :S

Yes, indeed. I think I will need to sub a lot more. Hopefully I will get a contract soon.

How could I make sure female teachers get pregnant? Oh wait...

15mm Mortis?

I'm in.

Pair of Crusaders, one Mortis. That's my Knight Squadron.

[EDIT]: Heavy Troopers are up! I’m totally in now! But... weren’t there some close combat weapon options for the heavy troopers?

Anyway, just put up the prices for those Heavy Troopers (and any 15mm arms) and we’re in business!

If you ever figure this out I'm sure you'll have a number of volunteers to help...

In other news, this just in from my credit card:

Yes, I have to become creative as well with my credit card statement. I hope I can pay off most of it before the end of the month, otherwise... intense discussion, which I would deserve.

Trying to buy any kind of property, so keeping our debt down is a must for the next few years.

Speaking of volunteers, I think that happened in Louisiana or something, many years ago? Inspired an Adam Sandler movie.

Oh. My. God.........

Those stretches are fantastic. I am definitely in for command and the heavy troopers with support weapons.

If he makes the close combat heavy troopers... I will have to seriously, seriously consider them as well (wondering if they might be a $125K stretch? He may still be updating the page as he hasn't actually made an official "update" yet).

Yowsah!!! Will wait for him to officially update the page this evening and then likely pre-emptively up my pledge tonight or tomorrow morning.

HEAVY TROOPERS @$120K

Totally in for 10 of them,
sweet!!!

$130k Heavy Assault troops!

I have no use for them, but I know a ton of you guys do. Gahhh... so many nice new things. I'll be upping my pledge as soon as I can nail down more funds.

I won't be able to get near as much stuff as I want to, but I'll definitely be getting one of each 28mm Leviathan and some extra weapons.

I'm hoping for some sort of electro-hammer, or electro-whip or power-hammer sort of arrangement for the close combat ones. Those'd be perfect.

Just power swords I believe. No other power weapons :(

I like the heavy assault troopers, interesting...

Ooh, those look good. I did put down for a box of eisenkern and a set of support weapons, mainly to learn the game. The faction just isn't quite my bag. If the Commonwealth as a Tommy look, though, that KS would bleed me dry.

Let's assume this is successful enough for Mark to stay alive and eventually get a check in the mail, maybe even make this a full-time gig.

Would successive Kickstarter campaigns for the other factions be a model that you think could be sustainable in the long run? If this one is relatively successful, it could allow the company to come up with a good offering for a diverse gaming experience (and sticking it up to the man in the process... I guess?)

Hes mentioned in the past (on DFG forums IIRC) that he needs to hire a proofreader when the game rules start to get finalized. Guy cant do everything himself. I think for a one man show he does pretty good.

That's what she said.

But seriously, the stuff I send him will probably be just as awful. Since I am on the fence in both languages, I tend to use French forms in English and vice versa. Now that I'm learning Japanese... it's not too bad but the simplicity of the form is very seductive. Just incredibly blunt when used in French.

I don't mind proofreading. I'm not a professional technical writer, but I do work for free.

My major concern with this KS now is "what's Mark going to do next?" His previews make my wallet whimper.

Wow

Just upped my pledge pre-emptively as I'm going to sell some items to add these new stretches when they get hit. And I put us over $80K so that stretch goal is gone! Only $10K to go till full-scale Mortis


Mark, do you think you could edit the title of this thread to something like this (I checked and it fits):

DreamForge-Games: We are going plastic! Kickstarter w/ Weapon Option and Heavy Trooper stretch goals

I don't think folks who aren't clicking on the thread have any idea of the amazing additions you've done here!

Its a very good thing I dont have any credit cards, or he would have me in deep. Id end up being in the "one of everything please" category.
