The day I got an email saying the printer had absconded with the company's funds was not a happy one!

o.O

On a happier note, Not-Riddick is awesome. Not sure who the other guy is supposed to be though. Probably just not making the connection.

I think he's just "Random Trooper without a helmet on for variety's sake".

That not-Riddick is sweet! Him and Hazmat have turned out great. I'm looking forward to more of the sculpts.

No doubt!

After the success of this board game, and probably the next expansion too, I really hope they do a 'true' wargame as well...

It would be pretty funny if the new free character was an homage to a pointless character from some disappointing Tron sequel. Especially if her pose looks good.

They need a "not" Sam & Dean from Supernatural.

Collector's item double post! Get all 6 before they're gone!

Well there is a veritable dearth of space oriented Supernatural episodes after all...

As cool as those characters are I think the "futuristic/techno/space" motif Sedition Wars is going for would be better suited with a Cyborg "with the head like a novelty condom" or yet another Not-Who over a couple of lads who chase down ghosts and demons.

rob baxter said he wishes to do a skirmish game depending on the success of the game. 8 to 30 models.

I assume a faction like the strain would generally be higher count number. =s

The Vin Kor "Not-Riddick" model. Hmmm. Looks fantastic, but doesn't really fit the aesthetic of the universe. Probably will end up flogging mine.

As for the delay, well I can wait a few weeks. Gives me a chance to finish painting off my existing Sedition Wars models...

Well, to be fair, I believe only one of the KS characters (the Engineer guy) is likely to be sticking around "in-universe" as part of the Seditio Wars setting - and when he gets a general release, he'll have a different set of kit.

More beautiful models makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I plan on using the extra models to create an I-munda or Skirmish Squad for Deathsquadsgame.

I am wondering how big the Kara in the Gnosis suit is. What size base is it on? 40mm?

The squares seem to be 25mmx25mm on the tiles given. Wish I could use some of the Hirst Arts 1.5 inch tiles but they're too large I am thinking. Shame, as I like them more than the 1"/25mm styled ones they have. Might need to make and cast my own.

They are. It's twelve by twelve 1" squares on a 14" by 14" tile.

Of ur making ur own board it doesn't matter on the size of the squares to much.

New sculpt looks great. Looks like a criminal no one wants to side with if they can help it.

I'm glad they managed to sort out their printer issue. That could caused much bigger problems.

actually, multi-square models could get complicated with differently-scaled squares.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Probably safest to just stick with the regular 1" squares for construction, even if it doesn't allow as many options.

I'm not too keen on the not Riddick model, nothing wring with the sculpt, which is ace but the legs look strange to me.

But hey, I liked that ladyboy mechanic figure that every one was up in arms about so YMMV.

As for the news, at least we have something concrete now. a few weeks makes little differance to me unless they bumble into the Christmas post thing and it turns into a big delay. Looks like we will get the game long before that though.

Wha...?!?

I guess you really can't please everyone, every time!

...and in a by now classic example of CMoN/McVey communication, the unboxing video promised on their forums to be done and posted last week, is still nowhere to be found.
...or am I missing something?

Well they said the last of the minis due for the Biohazard backers would (hopefully) be done by the 10th Nov

Assuming that happened 2 days (one of which was a sunday) is not much time to get a box from China to the UK, so I'd give them another week or two before getting worked up about it

With Thanksgiving come up next week (in the US) I don't think they'll be shipping until the first week of December.

If you live outside the US or UK, don't expect anything until January, as the post often gets a bit ...congested at this time of year. Not sure about the speed of Europeans getting things shipped from the UK.

It's possible to get things earlier, just not a good idea to expect them earlier.

I don't think they expected this kind of success. This kind of kickstarter can launch a small company into being a mid level player in the industry. I'm sure everyone will get their product in a timely manner and of high quality.

It's the stretch goals. The extras.... It's not gonna be instant it'll take time.
It's a kickstarter.... fund it and wait or buy the product hen it goes on sale and loose the freebies and still wait
.

951k says people believe and should keep the faith. So what if CMON or the studio isn't posting news... personally I invest and don't need my hand held afterwards. If its 6 months late then I'll sweat it.

Calm down. You're coming across more than a little strong here. No-one here is calling for McVey's head on a pike or viciously upset at not getting their stuff yet. Look at how demanding and unreasonable my last post was. Right?

Buy having said that, $951k was spent based on the promises. What promises?

Estimated delivery: Nov 2012

So maybe calm down on the silly over-the-top stuff?
I'd suggest that with almost a million dollars invested, that they actually owe it to the investors to keep them up to date. Reaper is managing to do it and they made a lot more. Dreamforge is managing to do it, and they made a lot less. Mantic made not nearly as much and almost as much across two campaigns and have managed to do it for both. If being so demanding that I'd like occasional updates every few weeks for the pile of money I sent them several months ago makes me an "overly demanding entitlement whore" or some such, then so be it.

But yeah, people here aren't getting bent out of shape about the delays. We're actually being pretty reasonable and hopeful, if anything.

Key word I think is 'estimated'. Stretch goals = stretched delivery unfortunately, I think that much is certain. Either way, I'm as impatient as the next guy, but it will get here when it gets here.

I agree that McVey could be better on the communication side of things but they've got a pretty decent reputation so I'll decline to worry too much.

I see a lot of other Kickstarters allow people to get into their deals after the fact although at a higher price point. Is that the same with this one?

You had a while (2-3 weeks I think) after the KS where you could mail CMON and get included at KS prices, but that's long past now

you'll need to wait for retail now I'm afraid

Aye, I would imagine it is a bit late to get in on the deal, as they'll have had to finalise order numbers etc a while back.

Hope to see that unboxing video jn he not too distant future - though I imagine they may stI'll be being held up a bit by the house/studio move.
