They are already on the graphic. Jeez.

It's not like they're not coming.

**Alpharius**

$30K for each booster unlock then?

That seems...unwise.

Unless, of course, they need the $30K to tool up for them, in which case, it is the very spirit and soul of wisdom!

They are only coming if they make stretch goals. If they don't make the stretch goals then Rebel and Marauder fans are ass out on the BOGO for their armies.

So go start spamming other forums to get people to pledge.

Well. It's not like they've made the goals for Enforcers or Plague either.

Can't see them not making the goals to be honest. Did you see how much money came on board in the last weekend on the Dreadball KS?

I have no real interest in the Dreaball KS, so no.

Seems like we'll have to 'get through' the booster unlocks first:

Creator Mantic Games 5 minutes ago

@ Ok Luke - let me ask, it certainly sounds fun! Would a psychotic hobgoblin throwing grenades go any way to scratching this itch?
@ Eric - yes, if we can get on a roll and we can get through these boosters in rapid time we can go back to the simple plan we had and roll out a big pile of knock-over stretches - before we bring out the crazy stuff again!!!

**Ahtman**

They look like mirror images of each other. If I go by this I would think that they will get 40kish on the last day, as Dreadball did on the first. Deadzone is front heavy whereas Dreadball seems to have got it on the back end.

I would say they are too different to be mirrors. Dreadball had a big bump the whole last week.

**Alpharius**

This causes some concern for me in terms of Asterians and Forge Fathers and the overall 'value' of their factions...

$25k actually. Counters are at $705k and the next booster is $730k. So it is the same as the Enforcer stretch, which is expected.

$25,000. There's a mini $5k goal to add counters first. I get why they're doing it...4-5 models need to be tooled for each one, so it's probably not inaccurate.

Seems like they're making sure the boosters fit with the armylist too for the most part. 4 plague swarms is a legal option (though mortars are only an option in 3's, so you'll 'waste' one).

Yeah, not sure if I'm still going to pick up the expanded universe bundle. Hmm...

**Triszin**

I want to add another 50$ but i'm waiting to see what else is in. so far it looks like i am going to get 2 -3 core zones, a landing platform. maybe swap out a core world for a defense line, but i dunno

**Compel**

There's a couple of new tidbits in.

Ronnie wrote wrote:- Blaine is a KS exclusive, as will be the ForgeFather smuggler (you do all know about that right?) - how many more do we need?

And another tip.

Plus the obvious Dreadball mech with guns.

**BobtheInquisitor**

I don't get why the awesome pile of Ceti Alpha Eels has some random rat thrown in.

**Triszin**

if they add the mechs and light vehicles i will drop more moeny.

On the subject of the swarm:

"@all - I think the final swarm sculpts will not be as ratty as the art - more plaguey!"

Then later:

"@ Brian - Sylvan was sculpting the swarm today and they don't look like that. They look much more Deadzone!"

In a game with guns, zombies, rebels and enforcers? I'm going for battle-damaged tiles in my add-ons since the stuff that ships with Strike Team is already core. Nothing sillier than a battle zone where the bad guys massacre the innocent yet strive to respect property rights.

**Alpharius**

Enforcers Booster at $700K, Plague Booster at $730K.

I guess we'll see if the Rebs Booster is at $760K.

Blaines @$740k so Rebs will be at least $765k - they need $25k per booster faction to tool it.

**PsychoticStorm**

nope 740 is Blaine so orx should be 765 and rebs 790 is nothing else gets in the way to make them go a pretty 800k

**tyrant of loserville**

Cool, "who's that pokemon" is finally over with the leaves. Ill pledge when I get back home, 5 hundo at least and more if they get the reb booster cracked.

I am a decent modeler and have half a 4x4 section of destroyed city terrain, My plan is to make a board where 50% of it is old and destroyed while the other half is pristine.

**Ronin_eX**

Just $1500 or so until the $700k is cracked.

A good solution I have found is run everything in spellchecker and reread what I wrote twice before submitting it.

Not ideal, but it works.

**H.B.M.C.**

Ok, someone's gonna need to clarify this:

"You can add on the Plague Faction Booster for $20 or as part of the Plague Booster Bundle for $50. Of course, you can get the Bundle for FREE with our Buy One Get One Free Deal!"

The boosters are $20, and the bundles each contain 3 boosters for $50 (so $10 saving). You can also buy a single $50 booster and get a second $50 booster for free. Is that accurate?

**DaveC**

Yep they can't afford to do BOGOF on the $20 boosters but they can on the $50 ones - apparently the next update will have bundle deal for 1 of each booster for the first 4 factions at a slightly discounted price rather than the $80 it would cost now.
