We'll still get Shamus done In fact I just sent the pics for Clint, Doc & Shamus off to Brother Vinni

I know... but another $3500 and I'd have gotten him for free. LOL

Eric

I just finished assigning all the sculpts Trying to have the same person do everything for 1 box set so they will all match better.

Ian Mountain is doing Dr. Kilmer & Rooster Morrison
Pedro Ramos is doing Nevada Dave, Father Al and Marshall Stewart
Brother Vinni doing Doc, Shamus & Clinton

Bob Naismith is doing the Dockside Drifters

And then I have 3 new sculptors

James Van Schaik doing the Tranquility Crew
Doug Hamilton doing the Widowmakers
Steven Eserin doing Wilde's Rangers (but Bob already did the gatling gun 3D model)

This just leaves the secret fist, still deciding who to give them too.. didn't think they would get unlocked

With the 3D guys I'm having them develop a standard set of weapons so in the future everything will match better, we can get 3D prints / resin casts of the weapons done for traditional sculptors to include in their greenstuffing later on too.

I was thinking of getting those exact 3 gangs, so, this is good news!

Congats Necros!

Stop copying me!!!!


Well, I guess I am copying you since you posted first.


Man, I want James' SM Sgt., too bad it was only a test sculpt.

Those are the three gangs I want as well... but I feel cheap for not getting any of the original ones too.

Well, Game Salute will be selling them so I can entice my friends to play the game with that... do we know what retail will be like?

I'll pick up some of the original gangs later too.

Need some 'bad guys' after all...

Well, the good news is, I was expecting the starter sets to all be $35 each, but Game Salute was able to order enough printed things to get the costs down so they'll be $30

Wilde's Rangers will probably be more though, since it will come with the gatling gun.. no idea yet how much that one will be

Awesome news!

Can you repost that the new forum address to discuss the game itself and all its sundries?

I know its too late for the Kickstarter, but how about a special character based on El Mariachi, the character Antonio Banderas plays in the Desperado & Once Upon a Time in Mexico trilogy?

Yeah I was thinking of doing a 3 man "Los Mariachis" support pack for the Bandidos.. where they're all like Antonio

Funny story, at my day job we had a from Brazil named Antonio Bandera .. someone gave him a puss in boots figure, but he didn't get the joke..

Well, it you're doing 3 packs, what about The Three Amigos?
That would be fun.

Eric

Could get to them some day too

I'd love to see a wrassler figure inspired by Cactus Jack at some point. A three pack could be Cactus Jack, The Undertaker and maybe Hacksaw Jim Dugan, or Dusty Rhodes.

What about Cowboy Bob Orton?

I just updated the PDF rulebook. The old version was almost an exact copy of what our printed rulebook will look like, but wasn't exactly inkjet-printer-friendly being full color. So, I updated the "Web Rulebook" to be a more plain text version, with just a few photos and diagrams. This will be a lot easier on your printers, and also be easier to read on your screen or handheld devices / tablets. You can download the updated rulebook PDF on my website here:

http://blackwatergulch.com/blog/blackwater-gulch-preview-rules/

That being said, Game Salute has just launched the Blackwater Gulch section of their online store. You can pre-order all of our starter sets plus the new full color printed rulebook. Check it out:

http://shop.gamesalute.com/collections/front-page-1/gangfight-game-studio

The original starter sets will be available for retail in January, and the sets from the new Kickstarter will be available "this summer"

With this new rulebook update, there was only 1 minor rules change regarding attacking with two 1-handed weapons. Basically, when you attack with 2, your first attack will be made like a normal attack with the usual To Hit target number. Your second attack will be at a +1 To Hit. The old method was both attacks would be at a +1 To Hit. I changed it because it seemed like if you managed to take out your target with the first shot, and didn't need to make a 2nd shot, then you shouldn't have been penalized for only shooting once. So this way seemed more fair. Anyway, this rule is also reflected in the printed rulebook, I just didn't have a chance to update the web rules till now

Any idea when we can expect the stuff from the original kickstarter to ship?

James Van Schaik doing the Tranquility Crew

James Van Schaik is a genius as far as I'm concerned. I'll definitely be buying this set.

The ETA is "we're working on it" .. But I think they're packing up the orders about now, been getting a lot of emails from them about what this or that pledge level gets

Here's what I just got about the ETA from the warehouse manager

Your project requires quite a bit of work and materials have been coming in sporadically. It is in the queue and under way. This campaign is not typical so I can not estimate when it will complete. I will send you confirmation when the last packages are on the dock awaiting pick up.

I appreciate the update, but its not that reassuring of a reply.

I know, wish I had better news :( Just hoping (praying) they'll have it all done soon.

Yeah, that pretty much translates to "dont hold your breath guy, its gonna be a real long time".

Bummer...but then again its been what, 8 or 9 months since the Kickstarter...are a few more weeks really going to matter?

When should we be expecting our pledge polls?

Not sure, I'll ask about the polls. I think they probably still haven't even gotten the funds yet, the last one took about 3 weeks for Amazon & Kickstarter to finish everything. I think they're also deciding if they want to do a pledge manager website or not.

In other news, got the first pics of one of the new minis Here's Father Al from Pedro Ramos

That was quick.

What about the Poles? Just don't ask the Russians.

Thank you ladies and gents, I'll be here all night...

Pedro is from spain In addition to sculpting, he's also my translator for when I need something to sound Bandidoy

Necros, is it going to be different for the current campaign? I.e, when he says "your project requires quite a bit of work" and "this campaign is not typical so I can not estimate when it will complete", is there something different this time around that will make the turn-around time meet it's target from the Kickstarter?
