Maxed at $500. Which is about $360 more than I should be spending right now...

Looking forward to seeing how high it goes. Some cool looking new stuff so far.

Okies, really thinking of jumping on this last minute, mainly because of the oodles of terrain. But I'm thinking their Sci-fi stuff also looks a lot better than their fantasy stuff, which I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of.

My pledge is looking like an opening bid of about $800, but I am wondering what characters are included in the kickstarter and which would require purchasing, it not entirely clear.

**MasterSlowPoke**

With 800 bucks, there's not much you won't be getting.

The ones that aren't included are the Helfather, the space jellyfish, and the 6 named characters.

**Ronin_eX**

Hmm, this horrifies me, but I may have just sussed out a way of pledging to $750... damn me!

**Millicant**

Alright finally pledged for $301!

Strike team, AI deck, 4 for 3 boosters, an extra mat and urban fight to fill my 2x4 with terrain. And a few extra dollars for characters and a printed compendium!

Looks great - I can't wait!

Just to be sure - you can increase but not decrease your pledge later, correct? So I can add more later if I want, or get friends to go in with me?

$1,150,000 – Defense Line Upgrade Scenery Sprue

If we hit this goal we will sculpt and tool the Defense Line Upgrade Scenery Sprue and upgrade one of the 4 Fortifications Sprues in the Battlezones.

$1,170,000 - Female Enforcer Pathfinder Sniper on Infiltrator Bike

We will sculpt and tool a Female Enforcer Pathfinder with Sniper Rifle on Foot and on Bike.

You can add on a Pathfinder on Foot and Pathfinder on Bike set for $20.

This is crazy! 90 mins to go!

female enforcer with bike!

edit:
SS you beat my by a lowsy 7 seconds!

also I will def pick up the female enforcer, as long as the infiltrator bike is a antigrav bike. I just have to do it later!

**Pox Apostle**

The only characters: i.e.: Mercenaries or Leaders that aren't included are the Chovar Psychic jellyfish thing, the Helfather, and all of the new Leader characters they just unlocked. That's a total of $63. $45 for the new Leader package, $8 for the Helfather, and $10 for the Chovar.

**PsychoticStorm**

Female Enforcer GOGOGOGO

**scarletsquig**

This is going NUTS.

As in, Robotech levels of crazy.

Anyone browsing - Not too late to pledge, but don't leave it until the last half hour, kickstarter/ amazon payments is notorious for going offline when large KS's like this one end.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

So strike level gets me all the characters apart from the six special ones, and those two just mentioned above aye?

**Krinsath**

DAMNIT!

I was *this* close to sticking by my initial pledge, with minor pondering of a second Ironman assault sergeant. Then they had to add a female enforcer.

Since it's a relatively minor uptick (and not one that will factor in on any KS rewards), I might just wait until the end. Another question for you fine folks though; courier shipping to the US worth $15 if I'm looking at a pledge in the Morathi/Yonan realm of Suppression+?

**Necros**

wow this is doing better than I thought it would.. congrats Mantic

Wish I had to spare cash.. oh well maybe next time

**Compel**

So, I think I've found a way to calculate up to exactly $751

Strike Team Early Bird 1: $150 - $10 = $140
Character Bundle: $45
Chovar: $10
Helfather: $8
EU Factions: $50
3x Booster Bundles: $50 * 3 = $150
4 packs of Zombies: $45
3x Mechs: $20 * 3 = $60
1x Pathfinder: $20
Urban Battle: $95
Detailing Bundle: $65
Acrylic Counters: $20
Loot Counters: $10
T-shirt: $25
AI Deck: $8

-----------

And, as far as I can tell, nothing really obviously missing.

**scarletsquig**

@Morathi That's correct. Although it looks like there's a $20 female enforcer on bike and foot coming up too.

You'll also get the exclusive unique resins for pledging $400+ and $500+ pre-survey, and the hardback signed book free for pledging $750+ pre-survey, so you're totally covered for 100% of the exclusive stuff.

$800 will get you pretty much anything you want, that much cash is basically a solid "pledge now, and sort out the details later in the survey" amount... you can get tons of minis and fill a 6x4 board with terrain for that much.

**Rolt**

Great!!! female enforcer with bike at $170k, really really can't wait to see that, been looking forward to female enforcers since the start of this kickstarter.

**Millicant**

Can you update the amount after the Kickstarter ends when the surveys go out? ie pay more to get extra stuff?

**Ronin_eX**

Alright, in at $751 with ~$40 that is, as yet, unclaimed by anything in particular. AND. THAT. IS. IT!

Here's hoping for more LSV loving so I can put that $40 to good use.

Yes, but you need to pledge pre-survey to qualify for the $400, $500 and $750 freebies. (unique sculpts for the rebs commander and plague 1st gen, cast in resin and hardback signed ultimate book with everything in it).

**Rolt**

@millicant

All of Mantics KS's have had pledge managers/surveys so far, this one should be the same.

@Necros

Put in a $10-15 pledge in for now and just add to it later with the survey if your intrested in this but don't have the cash right now, just an idea.

**Ronin_eX**

Well, if I hadn't already added the money, I would be adding it for that Iron Ancestor!

I'll take two!

Perfect thank you!

Update:

Boomer!
Update #91 · Jun 2, 2013 · comment

And that's the Defence Line Upgrade Sprue locked in!

Up next:
$1,170,000 - Female Enforcer Pathfinder Sniper on Infiltrator Bike

We will sculpt and tool a Female Enforcer Pathfinder with Sniper Rifle on Foot and on Bike.

This Enforcer Recon Unit motors around the battlefield to get to new locations before dismounting and setting up the shot.

You can add on a Pathfinder on Foot and Pathfinder on Bike set for $20.
NEW! $1,180,000 – Boomer, Marauder Grenadier

Boomer’s odious habits and utter lack of personal hygiene skills are gaggingly obvious from several metres away. Few would socialise with him voluntarily without some pressing incentive for his undoubted skills with explosives and encyclopaedic knowledge of grenades. What’s also obvious from the briefest of encounters with him is that he is completely insane, and whilst somewhat worrying in an explosives specialist most commanders assume that one follows from the other fairly naturally and so accept his foibles to have his skills.

In terms of who he is and where he came from, nobody’s asked. Boomer probably had a real name at one point; probably had a family, clan or other group to which he felt allegiance. Maybe people even liked him. Who can tell? These days he is nothing more nor less than an expendable asset who hires his not inconsiderable skills out to anyone who can pay the exorbitant fees (and stand his presence for more than five minutes). He has quite a few takers.

If we hit this goal, we will sculpt and tool Boomer, a new named Marauder Character.

Add him onto your pledge for $8.
NEW! $1,200,000 – Urban Pattern Iron Ancestor, Forge Father Vehicle

If we hit this goal, we will sculpt and tool the Urban Pattern Iron Ancestor.

This resin kit can be used to upgrade the plastic resin Iron Ancestor with Heat Cannon, new backback and a new close combat arm. We will supply the whole kit - the resin upgrade kit and the Iron Ancestor - for you to add on to your pledge.

Work in progress art - we're thinking drill rather than hammer. Thoughts?

Still a big one to come!!

**Triszin**

i suggested they go with a wrecking ball on the urban pattern Iron ancestor. also, i'd love to see some concept art for the female enforcer, but i believe we are now in the area of possible wave 3 releases?

**Compel**

How notably different is that Iron Ancestor model from the standard release?

**BobtheInquisitor**

I once read in a fortune cookie:

'A Female Enforcer Pathfinder Sniper on Infiltration Bike is just a woman designed by committee.'

Possible concept art:

**Widdershinz**

Someone back out of their early bird strike Team so I can afford it!

**Triszin**

wtf, it just went up to 164 now, this thing has been accelerating, ITS OUT OF CONTROLLLLLL

Different backpack piece, different weapons.

**AegisGrimm**

I really am hugely pissed that I went in 150 dollars for Sedition Wars last year, when I could have been getting that much of Deadzone pledged a year later! Anybody got a time machine?

Sucks being poor with all these great Kickstarters!
