They have mentioned several other factions that they have in the works although CMON did say that it's very unlikely to get another full faction in the kickstarter but may see a few units from a new faction that can be used as mercenary units with the existing two factions.

I just found out that there is no Line of Sight in this game. "Buffs" for defense are essentially given by the inclusion of your heroes, a strategic choice in spawning.

that piece of information has doubled our interest. LoS in Dust Tactics makes my head hurt.

Romeo interviews the guy behind this in Episode 55 of 40k Radio.

I wasn't interested until I listened to the guy talking about it.

Oh dear,

I've just had another look at the KS comments section and it's degenerated into (yet another) bunch of nastiness about Trenches, hitler jokes & swearing

I fear KS themselves may have to wade in with the banhammer again

they just don't seem to learn

Despite the white noise in the comments section, I did glean that they are working on a new gameplay video. So that might be fun to see.

Yeah, they are supposed to have the 2nd gameplay video up later today. That comments section has been nasty from the start pretty much. Seems to be centering around a few people but they post about 1/3 of the comments over there. Oh well, game should still be pretty awesome, though we'll know alot more after the 2nd video. CMON has hinted pretty hard that planes will be in this KS and when they showed how cards worked you could see some of them had air attack ratings, so hopefully they will release some air related stretch goals next.

I hope the person making the racist comments has his posting privileges removed especially after not apologising when called up on it.

It's a shame that the comment section has gone that way, past CMON kickstarters have had a few issues with the comments pages but on the whole they remained a good place to discuss the project and catch up on anything that you may have missed.

CMON seem to be trying to make a distraction. I'm sick of reading posts by that backer in particular he has posted 10% of the comments and none of it is worth while and now these latest comments have caused offense and he can't seem to see it just passes it off as a joke.

New Goals - the 2 heroes will not have plug versions







New add ons

There goes another $10...

$35... damn the artbook (not really, I asked them for it...)

What a piece of gak that guy is. Hope they ban him from commenting.

Art book is not my cup of tea, but everyone has been asking for it, so its good that CMON is listening. Like the new heroes, especially the pigeon guy.

Severely pleased with the artbook.

The comments is something that prevents me on commenting on Kickstarter.

For those of us that aren't history buffs, do either of these heroes have a pedigree that they may have been inspired by.

I believe the pingeon guy isn't based so much on one person, but the idea that carrier pigeons were used in the war. No clue about the chick though.

What sort of comments was the moron making on the KS page?

He was making anti-semetic comments.

Ah. How original.

I honestly think he was just trying to make a joke, but it was a pretty bad one, and everyone on there is already fed up with him as he posts non stop all day every day. Either way he "meant it", the KS comments section probably isn't the place to make jokes about stuff like that, if there is a place at all.

Yeah, think it was a joke just a bad one but when someone asked him to apologies he said that they were lacking a sense of humour and linked anger management courses which was completely the wrong thing to do.

I would hate to have to play a game of Rivet Wars with the guy.

Even if you were playing on his 7 level bridge over no-mans land with trenches and buildings and cool stuff table?

Well... maybe with a 7 level bridge

In all seriousness though, the game is coming together pretty well, and I'm very pleased so far. But I wish they would just go ahead and show us the planes/air units. I'm almost certain they have them ready, and it would really help boost some pledges. Then again, they seem to know what they're doing, so maybe I should just wait and let it happen.

As long as the stretch goals that keep rolling in are a majority free Blitz stuff or core box upgrades I'm not complaining - even if it's not exactly what I'd want.

I'm really surprised, and pleased, so far that they've kept such a minimal number of optional extras.

Also - surprised KS doesn't have an "ignore user" function.

I think they have something planned for $300k, hopefully first aerial units!

It never occurs to you that there might be a rivetwars.com but one day you try it and bam! it works.

And there's some neat stuff there, like a two part comic, concept artwork, and pictures of M3 tanks.




Not the final product from my understanding. But it's interesting that these pictures were under Toys and Minis section. Wonder if that means we can expect Rivet Wars toys.

270k hit. That’s the dogs.

Up next, mine fields!

The Rivet Wars stuff was originally toys Ted was making before the game came along.

I think that the vertical tank there is way smaller than the one we are getting now.

Question:

Considering there is going to be an expansion later with the k-9 hounds, more heroes and other units, will it be just as easily to procure most of the Blitzkrieg level "bonuses" fairly cheaply from discount sites later?
In other words, if speaking in terms of say Miniature Market prices, is the blitzkrieg level really a super great deal?

Kind of depends on how they package their expansion I guess

A last checker for Blitz clocked at $325 supposedly (with the last blitz items added being Patston Mech and Romler Car so not including the dogs) so at a usual MM discoutn of 25% off that would be $243.75. Of course as said that depends on how they would package expansions and also depends on what parts of the blitz you want. If you're just aiming for some of the units like the dogs and not the whole shebam then maybe places like MM will be a better spot
