Oh you guys made me feel guilty so I guess I will pledge as soon as I can also.

Settled on a 20-man set and one box of support weapons, I figure that then I will have 32 guys, mixing the support weapons into the normal troopers to give me 3 squads and then a commander and bodyguard!

I sure am envious of you Americans getting free shipping with all these kickstarters, especially as I am just out of reach. It is the only thing stopping me from picking up a leviathan, ah well, knew I should have moved to the states instead of Canada!

Find someone just across the border and drive to them?

Not that I want to sound greedy, but I was thinking of something. Hypothetically, if the $100,000 goal is reached, would purchasers of the Mortis also recieve Advanced capacitor coolers, a Sword, and a left handed Vulcan cannon? Or are those just for Crusader owners?

Might be easier for me just to suck it up and buy it anyway instead of driving all that way!

Yes, that's probably it. The willpower holds out until the very end, when you can see the opportunity disappearing. I keep telling myself that since I never play 40K Apocalypse, I have no use for a mini titan. But I still keep trying to think of a use for it.

I don't think getting to the 90k goal will be a problem. I think it will take a while to get to 80k, since there is nothing extra to buy between 50k and 80k, and I doubt that slightly different sword that is unlocked at 60k is going to convince anyone on the fence to jump in. But ones the mini crusaders are unlocked, I think new people will jump in and it will break 90k in no time.

Ah, being a brit who is used to countries with normal distances between them, this bit threw me Just out of reach to me would mean a couple of miles from the US border

You know im not sure, thats definitely a question for mark. One would think thats how it would work, given that almost all the cost is in the moulds which would have already been made.

Well I am a Brit too, moved here a couple of years ago! I got used to long distances after the first week and I live on the smallest province in the country!

Back OT, I was under the impression that the mortis had a completely different torso so wouldn't the backpack not fit anyway?

Well, with the resin ones I believe the back pieces (smokestacks or capacitor coolers) fit on either model.

I don't know if the "free" sword and gatling cannon would come with the Mortis or not- I guess it depends on whether they're attached to the Crusader's sprue or separate.

However, I would think at the very least you would get the capacitor coolers for free with the Mortis... a great question for Mark

I probably doesn't help that you also chose an island in the middle of the gulf. Was our mainland too crowded for you?

My hope would be for the free Gatling for both, the sword... not too sure as that is really for the crusader specifically.

The extra weapons though, they look amazing, will be looking for them in the future.

Yes, that HEL cannon looks amazing, as well as the longer, thinner one (don't remember the name) that looks just like a big artillery piece. This screams knight, along with the B-A chainsaw attachment.

I'm itching for the HEL cannon and the nova myself. The brilliance of Mark's design though is even if he doesn't put them out until next year, the arms are swappable. I absolutely love this model!

I like that the game's background begins all the way back into the 19th century. Very Cthulhu-esque.

Almost to $55K and 350 backers! We need that 15mn scale Leviathan boost... Getting there

And Cthulhu? You must be thinking of another Kickstarter

sadly I think I have to pull out of the kickstarter. I have tons of models, no time to paint or play.

I am going to keep my pledge up for now while I decide (and rebudget). I could just eat ramen for the next month.

ramen is pretty darn good, I would go that option

Well new weapons are up as new stretch goals. And there have been some changes to how shipping is going to work.

I could really use the 15mm version. Will probably pledge for troopers in hope of hitting they stretch goal and then adding it on.

Ouch, $25 per arm... for the plastic.
I really like these arms, but was hoping to get a couple. At that price I can only really get 1.

DARN!

Mark should put estimated price points on this soon so we know how much saving there is... particularly on these new AND FREAK'N FANTASTIC weapons.

I don't think it will be much of a savings getting the arms now. They are going to be going up as options that will NOT be available for some time, if ever again if the line doesn't do well and no variants are produced.

The price is a premium to get them NOW (when they ship) and have variants for your Crusader for other games.

Look at it as getting weapons you would not be able to any other way.

I commented on the Kickstarter page that a MUCH better option would be to include a FREE ARM of any type for each Leviathan at the $100k stage.

Everyone is already getting a free arm,
the others have to be made anyway.
It will encourage people to get on board this and spread out the load.

I see this as win/win for everyone.

I would have rather seen a price of $15-$20 for the arms, especially as they will add another $7.50 to the formerly "Free" shipping. I know that at that rate I would certainly pass on the Ripper saw, for it's just another type of melee weapon, however it fits a 40K "look".

I am, however interested in a Grendel Siege gun to be a stereotypical Knight battle cannon, or especially a Nova cannon to be a Knight-scale Plasma Blastgun, which would cause just as much wholesale damage on a battlefield.

Ok, Mark is checking on the logistics issues on the concept of a FREE ARM OF ANY TYPE at the $100k level.

This would be fantastic. I have no desire at all for another vulcan, but the HEL and NOVA, heck yes.

Forgive me dakka, it has been two days since my last post (two hail Mary’s, an Our father)... and a butt load of weapons!

Argg, it really sucks that I don't have the money for this KS.......

DAMN IT!! Why are all of these arms better than the one that comes standard

Awesome weapon variants for the arms, but I have one question: At 100k, what is the point of buying an extra vulkan cannon when one already comes with the model and the other is a free stretch goal? Leviathans only have 2 arms (though I wish I could top/shoulder mount a cannon...or two).

Unless of course, your planning on letting us pick and choose our Leviathan's armaments as we hit each goal...now that would be quite an incentive! I really want a right vulkan and a left mauler claw! An incentive like that might make me pledge 2-3 more of them

MUCH BETTER! This is great I think, with the new arm options. There wasn't much else to motivate new and existing pledgers to put forth extra money to hit those goals up toward 100K. This is a great incentive though.

Your Mortis may need some love

Yea they are really pricey for plastic alternate arms. $15 would be been a bit more reasonable since the idea is to entice people to pledge more and more. Looking back at it, those who want this stuff at a sort of reasonable price better pledge this kickstarter now, because its been stated these prices are only for this promotion. They will go up, which kind of scares me since if you look at it by the numbers, its upwards on GW kind of prices. I hope I'm wrong and that we could possibly see an 'affordable' mass-model tabletop game with excellent plastic minatures.

Ohhhh, good call! Though for me personally, the mortis isn't quite as neat as the crusader, unless there will be a way to get extra armor to bulk him out. I'm curious what the Gabriel will look like in time. Sounds more advanced than the crusader or mortis.
