Now that I've pledged, Mantic will be in damage control.

Ok, so someone double check this for me:

Recon + Shipping + Psychic Jellyfish x2 + Rebs Field Commander = $133, right?

^ No need to add shipping, so $128 total.

Not need to add shipping? I'm OS and not in America/UK/Canadia. It says to add $5 for that (or $10 or $15 for the really big pledges, which I'm not getting).

Ah, you're right, $5 shipping. Need to pay more attention to country flags.

No $285 terrain bundle on top?

Um... Dice?

Note: we’d have loved to do custom logos on these dice but trying to get them engraved at a price that was good value for you was impossible!

Logical who makes custom D8s?

If they had logos I would be interested but they can't get them done cheaply enough...

I have more than enough urban terrain, especially with those fancy-pants tiles coming from the last KS I was in. I wanted to stay small with this one because, no matter my love for the leader of Team Sexy, I don't have a great deal of interest in Deadzone as a game, but I do for some of the miniatures (where they will find use in Dark Heresy and other 40K RPGs).

Plus I need organic terrain, so come bonus time the fine folks at GF9 will be getting a visit from the Credit Card Fairy.

But they are not custom. They are just D8 in different colours.

That's what I said too, its logical they could not find somebody to engrave faction logos for them since custom D8's are really rare to find, I personally cannot remember any.

Yeah... so they just add a bunch of regular dice. Kinda underwhelming is what I said. I'd have thought we'd be through with the dice/hobby-store/Army-Painter/basing-flock stuffing by now.

They weren't a stretch goal. You don't have to buy them. Don't blow it out of proportion please.

What have you pledged for Zwei?

I'm in Stirke + Rebs/Enforcer boosters + Secret Weapon deadzone board.

Would like to add more, but as others have mentioned, the KoW survey is really juicy so a lot of money is going into that one (delivery next month rather than next year appeals to my sense of "gimme now!" too. :p).

I will probably try to find another $150 or so for survey time, definitely want more terrain and more forgefathers!

Coloured dice are a pretty easy thing to add to a KS as an optional add-on. Cheap enough to buy in bulk from Chessex, etc, and so good for a bit of sell-through profit since some people will always pick some up. Completely optional, so not worth stressing about.

Do you know if the Forgefathers are going to be to scale with the original modified-dwarf models (and I assume, the rest of the existing Warpath line) or the smaller DreadBall ones?

^ Not sure, but *probably* the Dreadball ones, which are the same size as the restic Warpath models, which are smaller than the hard plastic Warpath models.

The term buy-one-get-one-free caused quite a kerfuffle with the Kings of War campaign, and the enforcer renders look really sweet! Those are the points in my above post... so again, I would appreciate your responding to that instead of what you seem to be responding to which is not what I posted at all! Cheers

It really looks to be BOGO this time, so, there is really not much else to say, or overreact to...

OK guys, happy now? Have I distracted you effectively?

See! Someone gets the joke!

Thanks!

Wait... question... are my eyes deceiving me, or is Dreadball NOT at 28mm scale? Is Deadzone going to be Dreadball styled?

I know the idea is "heroic" proportions alter things versus a more realistic style, but even that can't account for how teeny my Dreadball guys seem next to every other 28mm game's minis, which I own.

 scarletsquig wrote:

Nothing so far

Yeah, Azazel has a good sense of humor

$1 per die for unengraved dice! Not a big deal, but an easy pass, you can get them cheaper basically everywhere else.

I'm hoping people might be able to help me out on this.

I'm currently pledged at the $150 level and have pledged another $10 so that I can get my free extra starter (Asterians please!).

Now, my plan would be to get a booster (esp at buy one get one free). Am I right in thinking I only need to pledge another $10 for this?

My thinking, is that the extra $10 would take me up to a total add on pledge of $20 meaning that I wouldn't have to add the extra postage to claim my free asterian starter.

I'm so new to this kickstarter business.

^That's correct, although the basic $20 boosters are not buy-one-get-one-free, only the $50 bundles are.

I might grab a dice bundle simply because it's hard to find sets of D8s. D6s and D10s are easy, as are full polyhedral sets, but I'm not sure where I'd get a block of D8s from. Any ideas?

hm. double post. delete please.

Honestly.

But mainly because I'd love to spend through Paypal. Since I started running the odd eBay ad on my blog, my Paypal-warchest is filled.

^ Seriously, I'd feel a lot better about losing to you on the jampilify campaign if you'd at least get some games in with the sweet resin prizes.

You can pledge via paypal, send Mantic a message asking if you can make a strike team pledge via paypal for now, and they'll sort it out for you.

They've done this before on previous campaigns, and they count it towards the total too, which has resulted in some stretch goals being unlocked that didn't quite get unlocked via the KS total.

As if anyone could take your Jamplify crown

I've convinced you before, I can do it again. >_>

Strike Team currently has a 62.5% discount off of RRP!!!

Also, looks like get some more silhouettes to try and figure out:



Brian Blessed having a bad beard day, some kind of sniper and Cthulu?

Plenty more free stuff planned for Strike Team, anyway.

That picture couldn't come at a better time So I'm transferring some funds to my bank account that is "paying" for the KS when it finishes Sunday. So I'm looking at Strike team (140 EB). So I have all of that above, I'll probably pick up Forge Fathers (maybe Asterians lol) I'm looking at adding in 50 dollars for the BOGO Pack to grab more enforcers and rebels, are there any "addons" besides terrain addons that I have missed model wise?

^ Other than a pair of mercenaries (Helfather and Jellyfish) and the Plague/Marauder stuff, nope.

They really ought to do a few more characters.

The MvPs were a huge draw with DreadBall and I really love the few they've done for Deadzone (Wrath, Natanza, the Survivor, etc..).
