Had a proper look at my pledge after the last update and I have increased my pledge by $2 as a result - +$52 for the characters (provided they all unlock) -$50 for 2 Battle zones removed now that Strike team gets a full 2 Battlezones (I still have money in for the 8 Battlezone set) so no real gain to Mantic from that set of SGs from me anyway - well I'd have pulled the $50 for the extra 2 Battlezones anyway so they at least stopped that.
EDIT: Ah I see the 6 characters can be bought for $45 for all 6 make that -$5 then

Actually, we got the light vehicles in the bundles - kinda. Asterians and FF's got vehicles, while the Orx got a weapon platform (that was originally described as a light vehicle).
I agree that they're probably holding off on other vehicles so they can release them for Warpath proper, and I'm okay with that. You don't want too much model creep in a game this size.
That said, I'd love some more FF bikers. It's like Squats mugged some Space Marines then upgraded their bikes to make them look kewler.
While the Ironman pose is great, hopefully I'm not alone in chuckling at the "Shatnerton" reference in Kish's backstory. Oddly, that makes me want to add her...
Loving the $1M stretch. Upgrade to 2 battlezones is win, as I'm in for 3 strike teams that adds up to a lot. Since I'm in for 3 strike teams (plus other stuff) I get the hardcover book free. Happy chappy!
Edit: Kish looks really nice for Plague. I was considering selling them off, but they look really good with the additions.

Strike = 142
5 Mats = 90
4 Battlezones - 1 Core, 1 Fort, 2 Damaged = 95
Dual Scenery Pack - Military and Warehouse = 65
Ast/FF Starters = 50
3 Boosters + 3 Free - 1 of each = 150
AI Deck = 8
So that should be $600 if I'm seeing everything straight. The Calc isn't up to date, otherwise I would use that. I'm going to get either a second Enforcer or Reb with Strike.
I can wait until closer to the end to up my pledge by $50 or more depending on what they throw down.
Wait, I thought we already had the equivalent of two battlezones with Strike? Or are we getting more bonus sprues? Ergh, it would be helpful if they didnt delete all the graphics...
Mantic have just published background stating that the galaxy is filled with brothels full of sexy fish people.
$975,000 – Kish, Plague Named Character
The exotic and sensual Sphyr have graced the pleasure planets and entertainment centres of Corporation worlds for generations. Nexus Psi was no different.
Kish was only unusual in that she had dreams of a better time, a distant and long-lost time, when her people had been their own masters and their rituals and traditions were still intact. She had avoided the most degrading of duties and merely stood in her traditional garb as an exotic curiosity to greet visitors to the convention hall and casinos of Lower Tiberia. Still, she had her ancestral shu-lith-nu and she had her pride – a pride that got her into a great deal of trouble, though never as much trouble as the Plague.
The fight against the mutant hordes had been fierce, but there were too many of them to resist for long. At first she assumed that she had died, then it seemed more as if she had been transported to some other realm. Perhaps she had been chosen – yes, that was it. Her faith in the old ways was to be tested. She was to face a trial by combat that would risk not only her life, but also her immortal soul itself. She could not fail.
At least, that’s what the unfortunate Plague victim Kish thinks is happening. The damaged and mutant remains of her once-proud mind muddle her proud dreams and her bleak reality into a strange mix of fantasy and fact. Her battles against the ancient foes of her race play out once more in her crazed mind as she slaughters the few surviving citizens of the shattered planet and fights with unbridled fury against anyone who crosses her path in an effort to cleanse her spirit and be at one with her gods.
Love it, this is the kind of awesome background I want to see!

This is really what they are gonna see a lot of. Not the wisest goals at this stage really. Unless lots of people spring out of no where to sign up, or Recon pledges upgrade (not too many to upgrade at this point) this may really slow down the final hour rather then rev it up.
