As did I...and I love the tank too.

Every Black Diamond Faction picked gets 2 of these. Remember these are unmanned mini tanks they fit on a 40mm base just in case anyone thinks they are Leman Russ sized or something.

Wall-E, the Kick Ass Edition !!!

It looks a bit too cartoony for me

It fits the whole Relic Knights look pretty well though.

Unless you mean that about the entire range?

I think it's the fact it's basically too compact and looks more like a toy than any tank I've seen. Probably could be helped if they made the main chasis just a bit longer

Right there with you!

My plans for my cyberpunk pnp game just became more realized. I was terrified that tank would be too big, but it looks perfect for a combat drone.

Update time!

The Twelve Days of Relic Knights: Day Two
Update #63 · Dec. 15, 2012

Here comes our second verse! Now remember, volume and a rapid tempo are critical when singing this song.

On the second day of Relic Knights, Santa Soda gave to me -- A Doctrine Novitiate, newly enrolled into the Erudite Prefectorium for Scholarly Excellence, who is nonetheless banded into a squad and thrust into battle against horrific forces that nobody truly comprehends, yes it's a magic wielding school giiiiiirl.

Wish there were more camera angles available. Pleased with what I can see, though.

I hate them i really do....i want this now and i forsee many more feelings like this.

I like those quite a bit. My problem is going to be figuring out which teams from GuP to paint them up as.

Hippo and Duck, obviously.

Anglerfish is also an option.

well we can see why they went with a render for the tank, the photo of the actuall prototype is pretty low on detail from the lighting

very nice though

Very cool. My wife went Doctrine for her faction, she will be most pleased with this mini.

I wish we had been shown all these previews a month ago -before they sent out the surveys. It might have affected my pledge.

If it does Update#60 seems to suggest that if you contact CMON at kickstarter@coolminiornot.com they will unlock your pledge manager to allow you to make changes.

From the update:

3. If you want to unlock your pledge to add or change stuff, please get in touch with your pledge number if you know it.

Anyone else having trouble accessing the Soda Pop website? I haven't been able to pull it up over the last few days.

The store was broken yesterday,

the they noted the problem and said they were working on it on the forum (which went off line today at some point today)

It's been down a fair bit recently so they've either got problems with their host, or maybe they've got hacker issues

They posted on facebook when they came back up last time

Good to know - but it's unlikely now - as it's competing with KD and Christmas for my money.

Thanks for the info. Hope it gets taken care of soon.

So glad I went all 6 now. Everything they are releasing is brilliant.

Hi everyone. Our site has indeed been down since Thursday night (USA). Apparently we have some sort of memory problem that is causing problems with our host. (I am just techie enough to cause problems so I don't know full details. ) Our web guys are currently working on it. Seeing how this is the second time we've had a problem in as many weeks they're trying to root out and correct the source of the problem, so it doesn't occur again.

Terribly sorry about the inconvenience. We will have it back as soon as we can.

Her feet are huuuuuuge. Is she supposed to be wearing clown shoes or something?

Thanks, Deke.

The big shoes don't seem any more bizarre than the platform style footwear women wear nowadays. They might be power feet!

My thoughts exactly!

Day 3 is Marie Claude

Dave C beat me with the picture, so here's the update text


It just snowed here last night so I guess that means that it really is approaching Christmas time. Interestingly, in their constant effort to increase the thrill of the race, vast swathes of Cerci Prime Raceway run through jagged mountain peaks perpetually locked in ice. Making the miles of track criss-crossing their frozen expanse some of the deadliest in the entire circuit. In that spirit lets take up another rousing verse!

On the third day of Relic Knights, Santa Soda gave to me -- Cerci Speed Circuit racing legend Marie-Claude, fresh off yet another death-defying circuit win, where it wasn't just her racer that killed, but her looks as weeeeell.

Dave C beats me and I write the updates then immediately come to Dakka. I'm pretty certain he is a Time Lord or Chronomancer of some sort.

Now my secrets out!

It's weird my Nexus Tablet receives emails a few minutes before my laptop even though both are running gmail through Chrome so I seem to get these things few minutes early - that and I'm looking for an excuse to get away from putting up the Christmas decorations and doing a general tidy up at home.

Marie-Claude's digital sculpt looks good - I hope her actual sculpt is OK, and she doesn't get Gabe-n-Tycho'd!

Hehe the complaints about the size of the Marie Claude's miniatures breasts have started in the KS comments clearly someone has never seen the real life Marie Claude Bourbonnais
