Pledge... just couldn't resist

Two questions to Prodos.

1. Will the Hussars have a head option without masks?

2. Will it be possible to buy Dominic and the Vulkan Battlesuit separate on Kickstarter

1 hopefully
2 yes NB we need to get to the KS goal to fund bauhaus

I'm very impressed by your responses to the fans' requests. Keep at it! Will the special edition cards be available as add-ons to those who couldn't afford the Cartel pledge?

Looking good - pledged this morning for Razide, I'll definitely add more as we go on and probably re-mortgage the house if Imperial get a look in. Surprised this is not moving faster to be honest. Surely, all the GOA money could/should head this way?

Sure, here you are 2 of them for £7, moulds are getting done as we speak soooo next week we might be showing painted ones!

Thanks, they look awesome, great work! Can't wait to paint mine!

Will there be more torso and leg options and will we see the return of the Belzarachs?

I'm not familiar with the guns the necromutants are carrying, but how does the one fire that has it's bayonet pass in front of the barrel? Or is it some sort of electro or energy gun and it shoots out of the tip of the bayonet? Or is it just the angle and the big bayonet is actually beside the barrel?

That's the answer

i think it is beside, they're quite different from old ones however.

Great news if there will be an option to replace one of the masks to a head with a little more human feel to it. Like they had in the first version. Its after all one of the great human corporations and not Cybertronic.

KICKSTARTER UPDATE: A big thank you to everyone that has contributed so far. We are doing well. Various people have asked for PDF Basic Rules for all pledge levels....it's yours! PDF BASIC RULES WILL BE SEND TO ALL PLEDGERS

Awsome.

@Prodos - Sweet!

Woohoo, glad to hear it. I reference most of my gaming material on my tablet anyways. Hard copies are all about being pretty eye-candy for me, now. Ebooks are for proper rules reference.

I'm getting more and more tempted to get myself a tablet...

Also time to show an old Chronopia Stygian mini...


I am NOT into Fantasy gaming, but Chronpia was something Special...
OK, 'nuff distraction back on Topic!!!

The cards mechanic looks very interesting. Looking forward to getting to grips with it.

I like the core concept of situational modifiers. Not sure how readable it will be, as lots of cards can clutter up the playing area.

Also, the vid is a bit off center and the HD option a bit blurry. Not that it matters here, but I was hoping to get a glimpse of those miniatures. You should do a HD vid just for that ASAP, preferably in turntable format, but seeing them in someone's hand would be fine too.

Like the cards, it gives a little more tactical flexibility and unpredictable moves in the game.

Are there going to be any faction specific cards that is only usable by that faction?

An idea to not have cards on the table would be to have an icon on the card that is specific to that card and then have tokens with those icons on that you could place beside the model/unit or on its base.
Or you could have rings with token slots that you could place around the base of a miniature for those cards that are miniature specific. (Maybe to much of a hassle depending of how easy/hard they are to counter/remove by your opponent)
Some things like the energy shield could be made into an accessory pack in resin/plastics and placed on the ground with a radius of effect from it.

This way you could leave the cards of the table and only small icons on the table representing the cards leaving the table less cluttered with non terrain/miniature stuff.

Thats seemed like a lot of card turning and placing for one little squad. How will this scale? Out of 5 or 6 units on the table only one or two get a boost a round?

Is the plan to have "rare" powers, or universal powers available in any standard deck? Meaning, will I have to search and find a certain card to counter "X card" that my opponent got lucky and got in a booster pack.

I don't want to play MtG.

only some card will go on the table, for rest we might have use tokens ect

and yes each hero/faction is going to have unique cards, just to add a bit flavour to deck, also each squad comes with 5 cards, to be used only on them, you might add them to deck.

Yeap, the card system is not that "advanced" like in WtG, and yes max. one or two squads will get a "boost", except Strategy cards which affects battlefied/everybody (Fog bombs)

Cards are balanced, so you will have ways to counter enemy strategy cards.

No "rare"/"crazy-kill-them-all" cards, the cards are only addition to game.

I donot like the idea of placing any cards on the battlefield, even if it will be small number of them. Make token equivalent or it would be a mess. Will the rules allow to play without using the cards?

Sounds great!

I'm kinda thinking game tokens for the game board would be ideal. I wouldn't mind cards on my table edge, but being played on the table might be awkward. Instead of a 3" circumference of effect it could be 6". Just something to consider.

I've been waiting for the kickstarter to go live for a week, pledged as soon as I found it had!

I'm really looking forward to this game, I used to love Warzone and Mutant Chronicles, back in the day, and Cybertronic aside, everything looks amazing. Being a long time Cybertronic fan, i'm a tad disappointed at the new aesthetic, but still pretty stoked for the relaunch of such a quality game.

Fingers crossed, though i'm sure there is little chance this kickstarter isn't going to make it!

I just pledged I used to love this game back in the day, it better not disappoint! But im sure it wont and I love the new look cybertronic guys they look awesome

@Prodos: When should we be expecting renders for these?



and



I am also waiting for the first renders from Bauhaus, so that I may increase my pledge.

We are going to address some issues on next game test thanks for feedbacks!
