It would also be a bad thing to continue with in this thread.

It really is time for everyone to make a converted effort to return to civility and on topic posts.

I guess that will be the 2nd warning to do so in this thread...

I know they mentioned a pledge calculator; has that come out yet? I'm at 270 and wanna make sure my swap-in of the Noh box and 2 rule books will net me the rest.

Here is a fan made one.

You will need to make a copy of it before you can edit it.

The CKPM (CMON Kickstarter Pledge Manager) will be sent out after the kickstarter closes and you will use it to tell CMON how you want your funds to be used.

That is very nice and helpful indeed - thanks!

The completist in me say that because I own a copy of SDE I should spend the money on the extra heroes, even though I have yet to play the game. Fine. But I see them releasing at least 3 more, a one per faction type of thing. That's three more stretch goals tied to this project that are SDE and not RK related with only four days to go before close.

Don't mind at all helping them finish the set. Would rather see it as one stretch goal instead of 3, 4, 6. So we can get back to RK related stretches. Kinda of a use our money type of thing.

Also, I was looking throught the mini archives. What about the regular Candy and Cola? Not the cosplay. Has the regular C & C made it into the KS somewhere? That'd be a worthy addon somewhere. Or are they not making her because she's faction specific and SPM doesn't have equivalents for the other factions?

Terrainguy?
DaveC?

Does anyone know if Sodapop Miniatures are working on expanding the RK model range / universe?

Most stuff from KS was already out there, I really hope we can expect some new characters and (brand) new models.

I would love to see some "tentacle aliens" faction (cthulhu meets anime or something :p)

I doubt we will see new factions any time soon as 6 is the "magic number" in the RK universe.

Sigh new stretch goals revealed, 2 k fallback......

Yep $3,020 gone as someone dropped a Tell my Story Too pledge it was probably a stretch booster - someone who pledges big to get a stretch unlocked and then drops it again once it's sufficiently far past the stretch goal to allow them to do so whilst keeping the stretch unlocked.

Sorry MightyGodzilla I know nothing other than what I've read around various forums SPM_Deke is the one to ask about that.

Candy & Cola are not forgotten!

I don't think so those 3 tell my story that ahem left were there for a really long time, if they were just a booster they would have left weeks ago.

And yes I may sound negative and maybe I am a bit, but I went in just to get a one shot because I like the model and now I am honestly interested in the game and I do not see the direction going good for the kickstarter at least.

The kickstarter's already done great, right? Way more than their original goal and still time to go beyond $500k.

If my suspicion is correct, then the stretch goals seem like a risky strategy. Basically, holding off the really good stuff until the final stretch goals to get supporters into a mad dash to the finish line(s) that should, ideally, cause the KS to skyrocket.

Bold move, Soda Pop. Bold move!

Grot, I was under the impression that those pictures were to show off the factions and the overall style and the sculpting they were capable of, not part of the starter. Neither Zineda nor Suspect 7 were ever in the listings for what you got in the initial starter set and the pictures were probably taken down because they caused confusion.

This is exactly correct. Originally we had more pictures of different models that were NEVER included in the starter sets, just so people could see more model pictures from the faction. Unfortunately it caused a great deal of confusion with people not certain what was in the starter. So we removed the pictures. It was that simple. There was no bait and switch.

@Orlando
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll certainly discuss it with the guys but at the moment it is not something we are planning.

Thanks for taking my suggestion onboard. I still hope you can persude the others its a good idea, but thanks for letting me know where things stand

I'm not sure it's a deliberate move to hold the good stuff till the end.

There has been a lot of call for Chibi figures amongst their fans (and as of the poll in February on their facebook site SDE was more popular then Relic Knights by 6 to 1)

Now they probably arn't something I'm going to invest in, but they have given decent growth, so I'd say they've been successful stretches

I quite like the idea of a Manga, as long as it doesn't try to shoehorn all 6 relic knights in as only 4 pages each would be a bit thin. The price for the hard copy is a bit more than I'd pay for an American comic, but on par with Japanese stuff imported into the UK

Dunno if I'm going in on this one I remember awhile ago some friends convinced me to try Anima tactics we played it for a little while but ultimately it died out. The figs were nice and I converted some for other games like Fantasy and 40k.

The models for this looks cool. Could convert Sebastian and Cross to be a badass dreadknight and the cat rider could be a thunder wolf.

I actually really like SDE and more characters for it would be cool. I haven't actually played my copy as I haven't built my figs yet. Played a friends beautifully painted SDE and its a really fun game.

Well, I went in. I was debating for a bit, but really I was bound to drop 50$ on one or more of the relic knights anyway, as well the questing models and probably those ninjas. So all told, coming out a bit ahead, and maybe it will drive me to finish painting Mayla and Calico Kate

Given my 'free' Ltd. Ed slots only cover two models, I've upped for the new SDE char. Wonder how many more they're planning on making?

All the negative postings on the ks page as well as cmon not updating quickly or responding have really pushed me away from this. Guess its a good thing as the dream forge ks is a week after this closes. Not a big fan of the chibi stretch goals, they should have kept those for a sde is which I'm sure will happen in a few weeks once this is over and done with.

Update#38

We've put together a moderated area where you can post developer questions about Relic Knights, and get them voted up to get answers so we know what to prioritize!

https://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=1ff277&t=1ff277.40

Seems to be a place to ask questions directly to the developer you can vote up or down a question so that it is more likely to get answers. Kevin Clark one of the developers is answering questions there now.

Terrainguy say they have plans to make a Candy and Cola (I assumed with rules), Kevin says as far as he knows they're not. Makes me wonder.... how in touch with the pulse of RK this guy really is. Sure he's played a few games and can answer that type of stuff, but when the questions get real will he fold up like a cheap card table.

<the tone/inflection should be felt as though a 2 bit detective were on the case>

He does seem to be contradicting a lot that soda pop has said

(like already released RK models will NOT get rules or cards, where soda pop have said they are working on a way to do it)

and dig that 'no' voting on the questions, we're real grumps today

I will go check to make sure all the answers reflect the current state of development.

Yeah Deke I noticed some of what he says has contradicted what you have said

and with the new add ons congratulations you just made a lot of money

YAY Black Dragons!

and the others are nice too

Ok lots of new optional buys:

Man you are fast!

Here's the text to the pics:

Black Diamond - Black Dragons (3) (Minion)
The Black Dragons are the elite of Black Diamond’s mercenary forces. Equipped with the heaviest tactical powered armor available they excel at both defending their convoys and black ops offensives.

Cerci Speed Circuit - Royal Wreckers (1) (Minion)
When your racer gets slagged you need to be able to recover the wreckage quickly so your pit crew can get immediately to work. The Royal Wreckers excel at raceway recovery and should the occasion call for it, performing a little wrecking of their own.

Doctrine - Academy Guard (3) (Minion)
The young minds of The Doctrine’s Erudite Prefectorium for Scholarly Excellence are its most valuable resource. In this time where Esper itself is torn asunder the Doctrine will need every practitioner it can call upon. It is these grim, construct, guardian’s duty to to ensure their safety.

Noh Empire - Serpent Priestess (1) (Minion)
The Hydra God, Nozuki, demands strict and unceasing devotion as well as a constant stream of souls to sate his eternal hunger. It is the Serpent Priestesses who ensure his will is done.

Shattered Sword - Purifiers (3) (Minion)
With calamity on the rise it grows increasingly difficult for the paladin orders to maintain the peace. It is the Purifiers task to secure safe havens, scouring them of any corrupting influences, and then tend to those in need.

Star Nebula Corsairs - Blowhards (1) (Minion)
Sometimes what you need to get in is an explosion. Sometimes what you need to get away is … an explosion. Blowhards take to the sappers art with relish: breaching hulls, exploding safes, and booby trapping escape routes to ensure none can follow.

Digging the concept art of the Serpent Priestess, and to a lesser extent the Black Dragons and Blowhards (plural, but there is only one?) Will there be only on Blowhard for 10$? And if so, how big will it be? Seems strange to get 3 Black Dragons for the same price as 1 Blowhard if they are all the same size.

GOD DAMN YOU People"!!! Now i must spend more money...although that plush is so damn cute.
