I think they'd double nicely as Demons too!

**RiTides**

I'm hoping the Queen will unlock today

Ed is also saying he'll be sculpting a free-standing egg. Now that'd be sweet to put on the base of the Queen

**Lansirill**

Dangit, I'm supposed to not be buying any more miniatures this year. But if they don't arrive until May, that makes it count for next year right?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

New Update, backers please tell Ed that we DO want this

I'd like to add this dreadnought into the kickstarter as well for the alien hunters but need to figure out if people would be interested enough. I will probably need to have someone else sculpt it as I'm going to be busy with the alien and thus expecting the production to sculpt it fairly high. If enough are interested I'll begin finding a way to work it in and get it paid for. Art was by Florent Kristner a member of TFM forums.

**Casey's Law**

Want!

**Malika2**

Oh, is he finally gonna do this model! I've been waiting for years for this one!

**Alpharius**

Yes please!

So... where do we cast our vote for this one?

**Casey's Law**

I messaged Chung from WGConsortium and he is going to check out the kickstarter and see if he can help him publicize it a bit!

**Malika2**

Hell yeah! That's really awesome to hear man!

Back the KS (even with just $1) then tell Ed in the comments or under the update that you'll buy the mech if he gets it made

presumably if he sees enough interest it will get the green light, if there is a resounding silence maybe it won't

**RiTides**

Response looks mostly really in favor of dreadnought, with a tweak to shins/feet.

I like it

**Fenriswulf**

Yep, definitely want some of those. Nurgle dreadnought style.

As it will be on a 50mm base, I am hoping they'll scale really well to Chaos Hell Brutes / Dreadnoughts.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

The Alien Hunter 'Dreadnought' is in as a paid add on at $21K

"Alien Hunters Dreadnought. With the addition of 2 large alien the hunters are going to need some extra firepower as well as armor. Pick up a dreadnought for $25. He will be on a 50mm base and have options for close combat or ranged weapons. When we reach stretch goal #4 it will be unlocked"

**RiTides**

Sweet! And only $125 away from unlocking Queen

(counting the $250 from the contest that will be added to the total).

**Casey's Law**

Awesome we hit 18k and Queen level!

Oh and Bill from Terrainaholic said he is really busy right now but he'll try and get the word out if he has time. Says he knows about the kickstarter though and loves it!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
A new update and the kickstarter has now reached $18,872. Is it just me or is it going up 2k a day? Maybe it's only 1k. If it's 2k then there will be no problem hitting the highest stretch goal at this rate.

Update #25 wrote:Just to make things a bit easier I'm posting the changes here as well. Thanks again and we are doing very well today. I did not get time to rework the badges to much as they are getting tight and if we keep going like we are the additions make me need 2 rows anyway.

I should have some new concept art shortly as well. We now also get 6 alien hunter troop styles for the force, so 6 total poses and miniatures. I'm working out the details on the "alien" alien hunters now also.

Host Level: 13 alien grub worms, 5 swarm adults, 6 Hosts and 1 Limited Edition Grub. Stretch add: 1 Hound and 1 limited edition host. $50
Notice only one host pledge can be used per customer for trade in value. Multiple trades of this pledge will not be allowed.

Swarm Level: 25 alien grub worms, 15 adult swarm miniatures, 10 Hosts, and 1 Limited Edition Grub. Stretch add: 3 hounds, 1 flyer and 1 limited edition host. $110

Queen Level: 43 alien grub, 10 swarm warriors, 15 adult swarm, 15 hosts, and 1 Limited Edition Grub. Stretch add: 5 hounds, 1 flyer, 1 Queen, and 1 limited edition host. $200

**RiTides**

Amazon payments had trouble today- if it doesn't work, try again!

Also he posted a revised swarm warrior gun (looks Perfect for Hive Guard) and stealth swarm adult art.

**Malika2**

Here some updates. Look at the end gun of the Swarm Adult. There's also concept art of the Stealth Alien.

**Commander Cain**

On top of those improved guard, the dreadnoughts also have some new (free!) guns when we reach another stretch.

These are added in at a higher stretch goal to help me fund getting them made. The arms will add no additional cost to the kit it will still come in at $25. Also the dreadnought does not require a shipping addition if your already pledging.

Free shipping is also a nice bonus, might have to pick up a couple of these guys!

**RiTides**

Loving the recent art! About to cross the 20K mark

**Malika2**

$13k to go!

$13K?!?

You might want to check that math!

Anyway, closer to $300 to cross the $20K threshold...

I was initially VERY excited to go in for "Queen" Level, but somehow I thought it was a lot less expensive than it actually is... Have to rethink this now...

We're looking at the long term goal Alph!

The final stretch goal.

...it strikes me that you may have been making a joke and that in fact i am very slow.

**Malika2**

I noticed it has become little bit over 16K instead! We want those Drone!!!

**ShatteredBlade**

Not bad.

18k now! The new things are awesome!

JoeyBerry said she'd try get a video or something up too.

**Malika2**

More weapon options.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Ed thought that adding those 4 extra arms (for a total of 10) would push the cost up to $30

This suggestion was not welcomed so looks unlikely to happen......

If you really want these 4 arms back and say so in the KS comments and we might change his mind

**Alpharius**

I hope that IF all the stretch goals aren't reached we eventually have options to purchase this stuff anyway!

**DaveC**

Have to say I like the Dread for $25 and have already included the money in my pledge but $25 is my limit for the Dread if it goes to $30 I'll drop it entirely. I think as people have pointed out $25 is about as much as most are prepared to spend on it - 4 extra arms for another $5 may seem like a good deal but it pushes to price point beyond the sweet spot for most people and it seems that it's not really viable to add the 4 arms as an extra $5 purchase.

**RiTides**

Yeah, I think he's sticking to dread w/ 6 arms for $25. He listens to feedback

.

Alph, go in for Host at least. Malika's 13K was where Host deal becomes insane at 33K (see text in the OP for the model list for Host at that level

)
