Are the alt covers going to be retail as well?

Based on the "Kickstarter and Convention only" portion, I would say probably not.

Missed that - thanks.

So much for over 18K :( a few hundred off again.

A lot of positive pledge adjustments have been done, myself included. You'll see it spike back up as the pledge adjustments come back through.

Yeah, from what I understand with Kickstarter, when someone adjusts their pledge, the system basically zeroes out the original one until the new one is verified. It usually only takes a few moments to happen, but for that period of time, it can seem like a major dip if that person has contributed significantly.

Or some people might be rethinking things in the final hours. Shouldn't be a problem, those 48 hour remaining emails go out in around 7 hours, by my count, which will hopefully get some more people to look back/finally give into their impulses for awesome mechs.

So, just to be clear - the difference between 2x Micro Armor Assault Force and the Micro Armor Carnage is basically the 20 dice (Carnage), and a soft-dex and mini-dex (Carnage) vs 2x mini-dex' (Assault Force). Is there any other difference I'm missing?

Ok I dropped a pledge in to take us back over 18K today.

Now if only the slackers will come in after the 48 hr reminder and we can get to the Wendigo at least!

i think the amount of SGs you get is different? Pretty much just that i think though.

Maybe I missed it, but what's the funding goal for the quads? on the KS page it just says locked, with no amount.

30k was mentioned as about what it would take to unlock everything shown IIRC.

Necros, I don't think realistically quads can make it in. The real hope is for the Wendigo to unlock. I think Paulson had said 22-23K, but I'm hoping it's on the low end there (22K?) as it could inspire a bit of last minute pledging.

The total looks good though and I'm stoked the Neo-Bloc heavy unlocked (or basically, not sure if it's done fluctuating). Getting the Wendigo in would mean everything is in except the Quads, which honestly deserve their own campaign later on

Ya never know, last days can be a doosey.. I'm gonna guess at this one ending over $25k

I don't think so. The Micro Carnage level says 4x of each unlocked micro stretch goal, and the Micro Assault Force level says 2x of each unlocked stretch goal, so 2 of those should net 4x of each unlocked stretch goal.

May just be the dice and rulebook upgrade then. Huh.

so 33k target but can I afford another $120 for 15mm version and 2 X $50 and 18.7K already so just 12K left with 50 hours to go


Automatically Appended Next Post:
no, no I can't afford that

I wish we could hit 40k and have 3 full factions including quads. But I'd still be pretty happy at 33k. Don't think it's going to happen needing 15k (so basically doubling the total) in the next 48 hours but crazier stuff has happened.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, there is a teaser of the BF light and Quad with their unlock goals posted on the Kickstarter

Good catch.

The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Those are lofty goals, but at least we know that if things blow up in the next 2 days, there are awesome things coming.

Good lord i'm curious how big those quads are now. Can't remember the last time I saw ANYTHING in microarmour at $50! Then again, even the heavies seem like they'll be fairly large, I forsee the quads having a good bit of weight to them in metal.

The big guns all have target goals now

Had I posted them up 3-4 days ago people would have complained that they'd be impossible to reach, but yesterday's jump shows that it's entirely possible. A large part of Ks is successful staging, if you dump everything out upfront it doesn't convey the same tension and excitement and there's not as strong of a sense of satisfaction when goals are reached.

Beyond the BF stuff I still have another 4 designs I can use which I'll reveal if it looks like we're getting close to $40k.


The quads in microarmor scale are going to take up a 90mm base, they are pretty huge.

The 15mm ones won't even fit on a base as the largest bases I can get re 120mm and they are going to likely need a 160-180mm footprint.

Here's a shot of the NorAm quad with other minis for scale:

I was gonna say at that price point they are still fine as that's not much more than Warlords were from GW when they were doing Epic and it's going to be much, much larger.

Fingers crossed that we hit it.

Oh it wasn't a complaint trust me, just think i'll have to wait till the quads go retail poor wallet

The quads have grown a bit since that pic.

When I was modeling the first light mecha the scale crept up a bit, the prints were a good 10-15% larger then the paper cardstock proxies, but that was good as they came out huge and awesome. But as a result all the other mecha had to be pushed up in scale a bit too.

The 15mms quad were originally going to fit on a 120mm base but now they are another 15% or so larger and no longer fit. They are likely going to be one of the largest production models available for anything in 15mm, or even most 28mm lines as they will be a bigger then Privateer's colossals. They'll still be smaller then FW's titans, but Titan's are like 3-4 times the price.



When they go to retail the 15mm quads will likely be $150, the 6mm versions will likely be $65-$70

Never realized just how big the quads are going to be- that puts a good perspective on it, and holy gak are they gonna be big.

4 designs up his sleeve... I'm calling it now:

A fully fleshed Netherlands force!

Nah, just more for Blackfrost! Mercs gonna rule the world!

Nah, its a Japanese force, and its almost all Lights. The Hikari is a transformable mech, goes from flyer to walker; and the Golg is a walker with a rounded body. Both feature larger then average amounts of missiles in their Loadouts.

I hear Jon is already 98% done with their designs.

And they're going to be molded, cast, and shipped before GenCon. Rumors are that they are completely seamless.

Well, you seem to be sure of about 80% of your information. If it were true... it would be... delicious.
