I'm guessing that the Nemesis Monsters might have a single stat line instead of level 1, 2, etc. and also don't provide materials that advance your settlement.

Oh, I like him much better as a monster. Sweet

Because I was super excited about this Kickstarter and wnated to get my hands on something I went ahead and ordered a model from Adam's site (The Preacher pin-up, one of the few models still available. This was on last Friday. The model arrived this morning. It's very well cast and very clean, with really nice detail. I recently said in another thread that I felt that super sharp detail isn't quite as important as Dakka has recently made it out to be (or rather, just because some detail is a little soft doesn't mean a model is bad). While I stand by that, I am really impressed by the crispness and quality of detail on this model. The model looks easy to assemble and the parts seems pretty strong. Based on some descriptions I was expecting the thin arms or the handle of the hammer to be pretty fragile, but they really seem reasonably sturdy.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the model. Hopefully I'll have a chance to paint it soon (although I know I won't do it justice)so I can decide whether I want to upgrade my Kickstarter purchase to get a bunch of resin or stay with plastic.

Yeah I hear ya man.

I finally assembled my Big Game Hunter. I'll put up some pictures when I get the chance. The detail is just absolutely amazing. I've never had another model touch this level of detail. I have had a couple small issues... like three bubbles, but they are tiny and easy to fix, and they weren't located anywhere traumatic.

I am terrified to prime her to get started painting. I shake up the can, and walk away for a drink about three minutes later and chicken out.

I already know mine is going to turn out pretty awful so I've decided to just treat it as an experiment. That helps a little bit!

After seeing the gameplay video I'm really sad that I'll be waiting almost a year to play it. It looks great.

An experiment... of Death!

The Manhunter as a Nemesis. Yeah, that sounds just about right, especially as a "big monster" is supposed to be added as a stretch goal soonish.

The Manhunter, though, is one of the KD miniatures I feel would translate quite nicely into plastics. In my opionion, it isn't quite as delicate in details as many of the others.

I am glad I don't collect fantasy models in general. This looks like one wallet draining kickstarter!

My pledge went from 100 to 200 in the time span of 30min... I am very excited to play this! I am actually about to list all of my GW and PP models on EBAY so I can hire a painting studio to paint everything from KD to their highest standard.

Spidicules is not finished yet, that is a WIP photo. The sculptor made his legs impossibly thin and it is being reworked.

@Albino Squirrel,

Ah, sorry to confuse you. When a monster uses an AI card, it goes to the AI discard pile. When he can't draw any more AI cards you need to shuffle up the discard pile and draw from the top. So it keeps cycling.

The options available to each survivor is totally gear dependent. As they modify the game rules on an exception based system. There is gear that lets you, modify the AI deck, modify the hit location deck, discard mood cards from play, take extra moves, etc.

There is also a survival point system i left out of the video because I was worried about over complicating the explanation. A survival point lets you take another action and you can use them whenever you want. If a monster hits you, you could use a survival point to move out of the way. Or you could use a point to activate a piece of gear a second time. Survival points are limited and do not regenerate from game to game. So its crucial to manage them.

@Krinsath, yep you pretty much nailed it. I will add that knowing a monster, and using gear that helps you predict what its next move is and whats in his deck. Will open up a logical puzzle you can play thru for flawless wins. I'ts tricky to pull off but extremely satisfying.

@Orlando,

1. Once the monster runs out of AI cards in his deck, he shuffles his discard pile and draws from the top.
2. Yes.
3. Ive opted for the discard pile as it makes book keeping a little more easy. And it also shuffles, instead of just cycling.

@The Fragile Breath,

Everything will ship at once. Or I should say, everything MUST ship at once. Logistically, its a bit of a nightmare!

@Starweaver,

Holy crap how did you catch that! haha good eye! Yes, nemesis monsters come to you. they are bad news bears.

Been wanting to step into these figures for awhile now. This gives me a good chance for some great figures at a good price and to support some of the best figures I have seen.

Thanks for your hard work and hopefully you can get some sleep in between updates here

That sounds pretty cool. I'm glad there can be a more tactical element to the monster fighting once you have some other gear. Though I would be interested in more about how the game works with different numbers of players. It says somewhere it is for 1 to 6 players I believe. Does each player control one survivor? If so, how can you get anyone playing solo? Won't it be really difficult to defeat any monsters with only one survivor fighting? I'd be really interesting in knowing how the solo experience is, since I don't know if I'll be able to get many others to try out the game. But if it is fun to play solo, I wouldn't worry as much about that.

Well, the Manhunter is unlocked! Looks like we're in sight of the next Major expansion, sounds like it may be even bigger than the Dragon King one! I'm looking forward to it.

My pledge is just going to keep getting bigger.

Is it wrong to like the pin-ups?

Even I love the pin-ups.
And knowing me... that's saying something.

Not a fan of the illuminated lady though, so I suppose I have my limits

The Gorm is announced as the 500k stretch and the next major game expansion ( looks like it includes Gormour Kits).

Adam also announces that anyone pledging over $300 gets the Man Hunter Expansion ($30rrp) for free!

Looks the free Man Hunter is tipping a lot of pledges over $300! I'm curious to see if the first big expansion that features a truly freaky KD monster brings in many new backers.

And, yes HBMC, you are a filthy animal.

Was already over $300 so I'm a happy pledger

And yes... was at $295... seems $300 might be an obvious choice now

Filthy animals have feelings, too. Besides, there isn't a non-pinup version of the Dragon Sacrifice and the clothing seems like standard sacrificial attire - justify it that way if you feel you need to convince yourself. She's one of two pin-ups I'm purchasing simply because I like the way the minis look.

The Gorm artwork reminds me of the Dead Space video games. And now that I think about it, I suppose the monsters do have that repurposed-human-flesh thing going on.

I'm normally not a big fan of Pin-up models, but these are so well done. I upped my pledge so I could get the Dragon Sacrifice, and the Lioness, so far.

At this point, I'm at $233 (including shipping), just waiting for an excuse to rocket past the $300 point.

Also, considering how WTF crazy the Gorm is, I can't wait for the KS to hit its next stretch goal. Not particularly because of the Gorm itself, but to see the pinup figure that comes from it. How the hell can you make anything that comes from that sexy.

...I expect it to be the finest pinup yet.

Wohoo, the manhunter! Very nice. Not yet at $300, but I am 100% that I will end up there eventually. Can't resist beautiful miniatures.

Not too thrilled about the Gorm (too ugly for my taste, and not good ugly, and no fan of glowing testicles or vagina mouths), but we'll see how much this thingy will cost and what cool armour kits accompany it Gorm armour really makes me wonder.

I also really like the pinups, especially the dragon sacrifice and the faces of the lioness and rawhide dame. Too bad the phoenix dancer seems to have a weird face compared to the concept art, I really hope we can see some more pics of her (and of the primal huntress)...

Honestly, I much prefer models to be covered up, but I love the KD pin-ups. I'm definitely buying the Phoenix Dancer and Dragon Sacrifice. Manhunter expansion sounds pretty awesome, but I'm honestly not sure about the Gorm expansion, I was hoping to see a new monster, although with how huge the expansion sounds, depending on its price, I'll probably get it for all the other stuff it contains. And while I may not be a huge fan of the Gorm, "Gormour" sounds like it'd be pretty freaking awesome, and it is another monster to fight.

Since no one else has asked it, I will. Do you think the Gorm will still have its family jewels like the one KD sold forever ago?

Edit: Adam, I'm sorry to hear that it's a pain in the butt for you (understandably so) but I think it will make your customers very happy! Random thought, are there going to be any two handed axe weapons in any armor kits? Because I looooooove two handed axes, that would be so badass!

That game play video is what sold it.

Insane, to say the least.

Any way of getting more of those survivor minis in plastic? A second question from the axes, are there going to be weapons sprues available?

These are 32MM?


will there be some added guys coming out before Next November?

Id like a couple of the survivor guys if they can come out a little earlier.

Any recommendations for the figures from the web store that will go with the game?

I'd wait to see which figures end up in plastic / the campaign. Apparently all but 6 or 7 are possibilities.

Unfortunately, I'm betting Forsaker and Twilight Knight may be among those held back for the heroes style game (rather than survivors). But we'll see!

Well

- Great Game Hunter
- White Speaker
- Preacher
- Forsaker
- Twilight Knight
- (possibly) Savior

sound like "characters" for a "post-Survivors" Game

Wet Nurse and Sunstalker have been ruled out, I think, by Adam.

I wonder if we see Mother/Grand Mother.

I'd love a Grand Mother expansion, but these might be bothering people with the pregancy theme? Than again, if Gorm is in, these might make it too.

I pledged $250. Basic game, plus two expansions and a bit of play money for additional minis that I fancy at the time.

I do hope that he uses an updated Gorm sculpt. The head of it is nice, but the body looks like the sculptor just kinda gave up. Although I may skip it period since it looks far too much like a human infant, and those things gross me out enough without making them horror-styled.

Yeah, agreed- Gorm isn't a homerun for me...
