That might be because they're concepts.

"i feel love......"

Any chance for you guys to pop in at salute with some prints/ prototypes?

Good luck with the KS.

I hope they allow us to purchase add-ons. I'm only likely to go for a single faction, but would like to get more minis than just a starter, but not interested in being burdened by another whole faction.

I think they already have that option in the pledge manager. At least that's what the KS brief is telling me.

Already on Kickstrater web

So, the value of various pledge tiers, at least right now, is mostly linear? (IE if you add 8 of even the most expensive unit-boxes, and another starter, the 249 pound tier is essentially the same price as the 109 pound tier)

Are there plans for that to change? Is their an incentive for going big now, and not waiting for retail discounts later while just buying a starter or two now?

I wonder if the forth is to your liking. What's on your wish list?

Imperials. Plus some units from Capitol (Light Infantry, Rangers, Sharks) and to a lesser extent Mishima.
But with my luck, the fourth will be Bauhaus.

Damn, I knew it

I really, really like those. Get stuff like those painted ASAP and replace your kickstarter starter renders with real painted miniatures. I think it would only help if people saw the actual miniatures that they're buying rather than renders.

I must admit that I'm still concerned the detail is too shallow and won't show up after paint is applied. I'm really excited about Warzone coming back, so **please** prove my worries unfounded.

Loving the look of the Bauhaus, but can't really tell if they are male or female...



Can I get confirmation on if they are:

1) All Male with Female hero
2) All Female with Female hero
3) Gender Neutral with Female hero

This is probably where I will be jumping in but would love to have them be Lady Storm Troops over regular Male, but the previous incarnations seem to have them all male except for heros.

They seem to be faceless/genderless masked mooks

Though some helmetless heads might help with that

Awesome news! The only two factions I don't own for Warzone are the Brotherhood and the Dark Legion so I'll definitely spring for the two starter pledge once I get home.

For those of you who are worried about the price of the Kickstarter minis vs. what they'd be in stores: don't forget that the higher the pledges get the more stuff gets added in. THAT'S where tabletop games on Kickstarter get into the "good deal" territory.

Sorry, Bauhaus concepts do not like anything...

The Good: Warzone is back.

The Bad: Mishima is the ugly puppy left behind in the dog pound again.

I'll be pledging but I don't know at what level, the higher levels would be interesting but I don't like the current factions.

M.

I am a little shocked at the different tiers. There is a real lack of savings the higher you go. I understand it just started but it is still a tad strange. I would love to see an offer for two factions collectors rule book, cards, and 2 cases. I can set these guys up with 2 FLGS one in Canada one in Washington.

If you look at the stretch goal levels, it seems to imply that the higher we go, the less each box/mini will cost. Will this be done by adding minis? It would be the most sensible way to go.

It looks like us kickstarting will make it cheaper for retail. Interesting, I get the feeling we may see some nice freebies.

So...why does this always happen to games I really want to do well? I hate being negative, but seriously Prodos, did you guys even bother to check out other Kickstarters that have been very successful? Are you even trying to bring in money or is this just a pre-order ploy?

1. Who the heck starts with a price point equal to or HIGHER than GW??
2. The miniatures, while great looking, do not appear to be very multi-posable, leaving you with X amount of static poses. Even a skilled convertor will have issues making different poses.
3. The listed stretch goals are....I can't even call them laughable, since there is literally nothing to give people incentive. A "special" card at each level? Really?
4. Unless you plunk down some serious money, there are NO kickstarter exclusives. A special rulebook? Whats so special about it?

Man, I hate this, but I think I'm going to have to skip this kickstarter and just find a set of rules post-release somewhere and use my old minis. Like many others, I've been getting away from GW because they have gone insane with pricing. Now my favorite game is re-released and they are even more insane.

I really wish you guys luck on this, because you are going to REALLY need it. My advice? Cancel the whole thing and do some research on crowdfunding. If not, prepare for some major backlash when people actually break down and take your project apart. The masses are not kind.

I would like some new versions of these


Maybe NSFW

do the kickstarter levels stack, say if I get the third lowest, do I get the t shirt that comes from the 2nd lowest, for example too?

Totally pledging when I get home. Smart move to just have the KS be for improving the product and getting Bauhaus out the door. The actual preview minis look fantastic (love the Cyber stuff, may have to spring for the double-starter level). And my Vulkan horde can always use more bodies.

Congrats on the launch!

Look I know they are called Bauhaus, but I don't think they are supposed to be a bunch of art house Germans performing Kraftwork saying "Dieter touch my Monkey".

Seriously These are terrible. Why do they look like cybermen?



I love WZ, but I am terribly disappointed in this project so far! Bauhaus is my favorite corp with a background based on Prussian heritage and honor. I don't know what this is! Why even buy the rights to WZ if you are not going to use the IP. This looks as bad of an adaptation as the World War Z movie!

I don't know if I'm more dissapointed in this or that awful Warzone movie that came out a few years ago. I"ll be using my Dreamforge Strormtroopers and old Bauhaus stuff to fill in until you guys can get your act together.

The only real problem with the Bauhaus concept art is that it's a mock-up based on real human proportions whereas everything else is based on cartoon/heroic proportions. Once things get to the render stage, I expect them to look better.

But anyone who think s a relaunch of Warzone is going to be just rehashing the original material isn't going to get what they want from this.

yeah they do look like Cybermen...well I'm playing them

There is a more detailed view of the Hussars (the only ones I was leery about) concept art and from a side profile, the helmets are a pretty good update of the 1st-edition Hussar. They are basically just missing helmet spikes (possibly a head option once they start playing with renders). I like the shoulder-pads. They still smack of Bauhaus but aren't jutting out three feet to either side of the model. It seems like the Hussar is going back to being the bog-standard low-level infantry they were in 1st Edition (they were closer to the Ducal Militia, in those days, for anyone more familiar with 2nd Edition and Ultimate). But I think showing of the side-view of the helmet and giving it the depth really helps on these guys.

Again, these are closer in concept to the 1st Edition "hockey-mask" Bauhaus than the 2nd Edition versions. After seeing multiple angles, I am actually starting to like them quite a bit.

And I also like the weapon re-designs.

But to each their own, I have a feeling that these are pretty early concepts, so what we end up with may well be quite different. But getting the close-up of the Hussar, it still screams BAUHAUS to me, albeit a modernized take on them.

And besides all of that:

A lightly-armoured female character not showing off any cleavage? Deliver her in a non-T&A pose and you will be heroes. She looks like a stone-cold bad ass.

I hope you are right. Where did you see the side shots?

It looks like they did a nice job on the brotherhood troopers I saw on the kickstarter page though, so here is hoping bauhaus are just really poor early concepts.

http://forum54.oli.us/index.php/topic,7152.msg57822.html#msg57822

Over on the Excelsior Games forums (and probably on Facebook). And looking over a bit more, it looks like Drachen has an Equalizer! How did they know that it was my favourite Bauhaus gun for all time?

But yeah, the Hussar's helmet isn't as flat as the head-on shot makes it look (protrudes out a bit for side-mounted vents). If you add a helmet-spike to it and change nothing else, then they look like Ducal Militia wearing 1st Edition Hussar helmets. And I'm glad to see that on Drachen they are keeping the concept of Special Forces specific Cresthelms with their own meanings (Templar eh? Interesting...).

Brotherhood trooper! nice

Definitely going to throw some money at this (once I get paid). Probably at the Razide level so I can demo the game to other people. Now to choose which factions I want, one will definitely be The Brotherhood and I suspect the other will be Bauhaus but could just as easily be Cybertronic or Dark Legion.

Kinda disappointed by the lack of Imperials at launch but if they are done to the standards of everything else they'll be worth the wait.

Meh. It all seems a bit too expensive at this stage. If it starts to offer good value, I might jump on in the final days. If not, I may or may not buy some via an internet retailer.
