The mechanics look fun

And the crazy spider thing...... yes please!

I fear how it will be assembled in all-resin, though.

Think positive. Imagine how it would handle if it were made from Finecast.

Then it REALLY would have been a true horror.

Is the Spider Thing not going to be in plastic then?

Also, any pics for the work blocked?

Please?

If it was Finecast it would be more durable.

I'm hoping it's plastic, especially if it's an 'in game' model. I'd have no interest in mesing with a model like that in resin if I'm going to be handling it.

Agreed on the game play. the AI deck looks really, really neat. Love how it counts as wounds too.

One crazy hand-spider-thing for the unloved



I can only hope that they have worked out how to cast a plastic model with a metal skeleton, otherwise that thing is going to be losing pieces left, right *and* centre! Having said that, I want 2 so I can make one up as a floating ball/thing without the legs so I can safely play at friend's houses. I only just notices the angler-fish thing shaped like a human torso... that's very disturbing indeed! Nice

I'm not sure what to say about this thing. And that's all I got to say about that.

That was one of the bits that I liked too. Simple, but very effective. I'm really looking forward to seeing the other videos (and next year when it arrives)

Great Video, and that horrific spider-Angler fish thingy looks amazing. 500k Stretch Goal, eh?

Looking forward to more funding!

+1

Also Adam just a quick question does it means if one survivor dies during the first turn there is no way for that player to be back on the game? That might be a bit of a bummer if playing on a group.

On, the spider-thing looks pretty damn scary too. That one better be made of something strong, otherwise it's going to become a Beholder very quickly

The trick is probably going to be some creative basing. I put together a Forgeworld Heirophant Bio-Titan which has a similar problem (although the KS model definitely looks more spindly.) You'll just have to find good parts of the model that can bear a load and support it there. If you get creative, you can have it barely resting on some scenic detail (that's concealing your pins) and you end up with a nice looking, well supported model.

That Spider thing is awesome, and yes, I really do hope that there's some sort of support armature plan, and/or that it is in plastic.

Thanks for posting the picture!

Not really digging the spider thing myself. It's the first thing from this project that hasn't impressed me. On the other hand, it looks as well done as the other models, just not to my taste. Oh well.

I just don't see it as being a good gaming piece. It will be a pain to store and every time you bring it out you will risk it getting damaged. It just looks way to delicate for resin or plastic.

I suppose it might not be a gaming model at all, but a display piece. I mean, I assumed it was the big monster for the next expansion that we were told about... but maybe not?

It is intended for the game, as Adam posted a name & a tiny bit of info

"Creator Kingdom Death about 4 hours ago

Spidicules - He will introduce silk to the survivors little world."

Since what looks to be a resin master is on a metal stand I would think the plastic will have the body on some sort of support, maybe a column or similar which takes most of the weight (maybe with some going via the front hands) and the thin legs just have to support themselves.

So the plastic should be ok... maybe fudge the joints for extra streength (the resin would scare me though)

Way too much footprint and volume for me. You'll need a specially built case to store the darned thing.

EDIT: It is cool looking, but I'm going to opt out of this one.

The good news (!) is that this will most likely be an optional add-on and not a freebie, so all the people who don't like it can easily opt out of buying one.

Everyone else, all aboard for $15!

Seeing as man-sized add ons have been 15, and the big monster add on was more, I suspect this will not be $15...

Killjoy.

Good point!

I meant to say $30, since this will be a "Dragon" type of thing.

I'm absolutely adoring the game demonstration. It looks like the exact thing I've been craving from a game, well done!

The spider guy is hideous, in a good way! I look forward to seeing how much of a terror it is in the game, because after seeing how formidable just a single lion was, something like that's got to be epic. 450k has also been reached, can't wait to see the dragon sacrifice.

We still haven't seen the monster at the end of the first Video, I'm still curious about that thing.

I assume that's the King.

I also hope we are getting the monster from the "first" video. I believe that it is sorta like the final boss. And this game has no purpose without the "final act". It would be a gamble, even if I believe this KS to run much higher, to wait with it too long.

Well, i have the impression that expansions are going to be made regardless of if we reach them in the kickstarter stretches. The stretches just mean he has the funds to spearhead them faster and give us a reduced price in return.

This KS should challenge the 1 million mark.

I'm thinking 'The King' can reasonably be set at the $750K-ish mark, maybe?

That spider guy is intense! Can't wait to find out more about this game. Everything that gets put up makes it seem more exciting.

Love the Spider but I think it will need to be mounted on a clear flying stand to support it properly. I'd say the figure at the end of the original video will be the final goal and will be set at what ever value will be necessary to make this go right down to the wire keeps the excitement up.
