I've been looking through this KS and like what I see but I cannot find a "deal" that has everything I want. I'd like a starter set, the rules, and the charc models. I like the contents of 'lucky adventurer' and 'soul harvester' but neither comes with the rulebook.
I’m sure glad GW is going to all plastic, so the ever-rising cost of white metal won’t impact the cost of their miniatures.

Just pledge the amount of all the deals you want and add shipping and at the end of the KS you will get a survey that asks you what eaxactly it is you want.
Only make sure that you pledge for early bird if you want one as your reward.
So in your case you would choose:
Lucky Adventurer + Soul Harvester + Librarian of the Gnostic Cabal + Shipping
20 + 45 + 25 +12 = 102
So you pledge 102 and choose e.g. the reward level Soul harvester.

On a related note I was trying to order the £30 one that would just get me a Halodyne starter but I broke and got the £75 one so I could get the Mortan one too What I haven't figured out yet is how I tell them I want the english book and those two factions.

I am starting to feel like a stalker - the second post, and again quoting Mr. A. :(
Good thing - some of my friends have decided to try this game and buy a few starters. Bad thing (for the Kickstarter) - we will do it through a discount shop. 36/34 Euro vs 42 GBP just doesn't stand the math. Even going to the http://www.megalith-games.com/ it is 40 Euro per starter. Shipping within the EU - free. Why don't we drop a ton of cash on the Kickstarter to improve the "already a steal"? To satisfy curiosity in the new game, but not to have a buyers remorse.
And those starter sets are (looks like they are) really amazing...
Painting progress tracker:
2017: 50 of 50 planned; 2018: 80 of 60 planned; 2019: 75 of 75 planned
The starters are for every game close to a loss-maker, so they can´t go that much lower.
But the higher deals are getting better when it comes to savings. The more of you share one pledge the lower the individual shipping will be. Also, no matter how much you order from the KS the shipping stays the same if you share one pledge.
And as much as I like to save money, I do have my problems with huge discounts. Those are only possible if you are huge or you don´t have a brick and mortar shop. And the latter if run properly are a big help for the community since they (besides gaming clubs) present our hobby to the world outside the internet. Most of TT-gamers only rarly check the tt-forums and it is the local shops that are their source of information.

With a big jump from ca. 24,200 to 25,894 the KS has been funded. The German translation is secure now and also some of the upcoming miniatures can be released earlier. Every pound more makes sure that even more miniatures can be released earlier! The next stretch goals are 30K (Godslayer-Dice) and 35K (Plastic-Templates).

Hurragh! The Kicktraq still shows a below 25K number, but I do trust this is funded now! (Here a celebratory smile should go, but I can't decide which one to use. Not that there should be many available to a happy little tree.)

@Duncan
Did you find out if there will be a pledge manager for extras after this finishes. I'm in for £160 at the moment but I can boost this to the £360 godslayer level in a couple of weeks after this finishes if possible?

Yes you will be fine. They have said this several times now that you can add items and select which ones you want after the kickstarter ends. I know this is a bit annoying for the people who pledge to get the stretch goals but in my opinion it is still better than have no option to correct mistakes you may have done

You should give Godslayer a try. The game is awesome. Even if you don´t like metal miniatures, the rules outweigh by far. Great game with some beautiful models.
If those blue Hy-Hylc-hyc, if those blue spartans are the default colour scheme awesome, I love it. If they are not then whoever did them I am stealing your idea
Also Hulksmash I am not a fan of metal models either but they are cheaper and look nicer than GWs recent stuff so I'm giving it a try (and hoping with 2 armies I can get some other people interested, it takes off in my area and eventually starts a plastic range).

The shocking thing i just discovered today at my LGS: two plastic characters from the GW Demons cost me the same amount as the whole GS starter box.... I knew prices went up, but thats ridiculous.
For the time being GS will stay metal, cause though plastic-production went down in prices, but it is still quite expensive.

The table was every bit as fun to play on as it looks. :-D Some stuff was to be had before release, so I got my Sanctum Priestress for example and the Troglodytes Longshadows look as cool as the art imho.
Rumour time (my first, joy! ;-)). The following is straight form Davids/Andrés mouth:
Halodynes will see more stuff for the Amazons in Wave2, for example medium cavalry, Peltasts aka young lightly clad Amazones with throwing spears. We will also see a mounted Warlord for them who will be able to boost shooting and closecombat. The Sons of War are likely going to be sculpted at the computer which considering the result with the Banebrood Reaver I like a lot.
The Mortans are in for ogresized undead legionaires and some undead vultures. Sculpting on the Legio Mortis has commenced and is done by a former confrotation sculptor that did some of their undead.
The Trogs are supposed to see Harpies.
Forgot to ask more on the second day, sorry! The guys sounded quite set for sure, esp. concerning the new units.

Right, this has confirmed my choices. Lightly clad Amazons and Undead Ogres, what more could I ask for!
Really nice review here, I still haven't got a clue if I will ever actually get a game of this in but it looks amazing so I had to go add another £14 to my pledge to get that necromancer and sanctum priestess.
I really think they hit the nail on the head when they say it isn't a game you look at an go 'yep, I like that army' but rather you like all the armies and then get stuck choosing.

Those dice look pretty nice but I wish you were getting more than 4 d6s and a d3 for £7.
The cerberos is very nice too but it is already on the additional extras part, what are the odds amazons, hill ogres or zombie mortans will get up there before the end?
