There is no way Mantic won't throw the plastic Enforcers in if they don't make it. They've known all along they were going to make them. Putting them in at the last minute is some sort of game or shenanigan.

According to SS, they have been planning the Enforcers for weeks. Once again, it looks like Mantic was trying to keep the success down and reach a certain KS funding goal rather than go as big as possible, or they would have included them sooner.

@ Millicant
DO not fear, i have this strange feeling mantic teased something that was already a go anyways.

Am I mistaken, or did they remove the ability to add a faction box for $35? All I see are the 50 dollar bundles.

Originally I was going to pledge for Scout to get enforcers, and then get another faction to add to them. Then with a couple of the "Big guys" that you can add, it would be like playing a mini-warpath game.

Wow!!! That was one amazing ride. It's the first Kickstarter I really followed and pledged like crazy for. Between my buddy and me the final total was $794. So, my hobby budget for the rest of the year is gone. *lol* That's fine as I've got all kinds of Warmachine/Hordes minis to paint until this stuff gets here in December.

its in the add on pdf. its still there, but the main page was getting so crazy they had to move things off.

This has been loads of fun, and crazy just to keep on top of updating the title and OP.

I'm really happy with this, best Mantic KS so far.

I kinda see warpath having trouble beating this. I could be wrong, this one was just a triple threat, and rather amazing.

Ah, good. That was looking to be my personal "sweet spot", as I can easily make myself a fabric board, and I already have/can make terrain that will fit the grid.

I assume we all watched it tick down to zero seconds. I do hope Mantic considers adding it if we break the goal through paypal, I know I can add more in a month or so.

Best Mantic KS, so far... combined! :p

Even the eventual WP KS will have trouble saying that now that DZ has added $1.2mil to the grand total. Damn, that was a fun ride. Now time to sit and wistfully gaze at my credit card bill.

Haha I hope you're right! I upped my pledge by a decent amount to "help the cause" at the end. Ugh hard to stomach but it's so worth it...

Wasn't going to add any more, but I caved and upped it to $500.

Heck, when can you get a whole game system for the price of one GW army?

That's what i noticed on Friday; the GW army from the High Elf White Dwarf was $650 as I recall, plus needing a rulebook and army book for another $130 and then something resembling suitable terrain. You'd still need to find another player with stuff.

For DeadZone, that'd easily get you rules and 6 good-sized forces with options, play area and terrain. Somewhat crazy to think about honestly.

Can you imagine the harm it would do to Mantic's already-bruised reputation if they didn't include the plastic Peacekeepers?

If you're planning on doing paypal add-ons in the survey, send mantic a message to let them know how much.

They have considered this before when determining whether they can make the final stretch goal.

Wait whaa....? Where am I?

Yeah, I spent almost 3x on this as I was going to on warpath, though I'd never done a KS before so i could have been fooling myself. This was just a perfect storm of options. I'll probably have 100-200 dollars for the survey before Q2 next year...

Umm... Did anyone else notice the plastic peacekeepers are listed as an add-on on the front page. like right this second? Accident, or sweet merciful Ronnie and co?

I've already told them I plan to add a lot to the Pledge Manager once I've refunded my account from the KoW add-ons, and once I see the sculpts.

Squiggie, you know they could have dropped the Peacekeeper bomb at any time and exploded their KS. Why did they wait until the last 20 minutes?

You mean to say that Mantic are in a permanant state of D-d-d-d-d-damage control-trol-trol-trol?

YAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Looks like the Peacekeepers are still in if they make up the last $9k during the survey/paypal add-on phase. So if you want 'em, then don't be shy when that rolls around.

How exactly do you go about notifying mantic that you will be adding to your pledge during the survey? (This is only my second KS ever, and the first was just a simple pledge bundle)

*Arg, Dakka keeps douple-posting me......*

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! I'm gonna have to buy... alot of those. The equivalent of terminators for TWO DOLLARS A MODEL? Epic!

Just got the obligatory potential credit card fraud phone call...

Nah, I don't believe that. I do believe that they had them planned, sure - along with lots of other hard plastic kits. Zombies, Enforcers, etc etc. Just like with KoW and Dreadball, this KS was to accelerate the release schedule. Funding them now would just mean they come out 6 months sooner. If they magically got like 2 million bucks or something, we'd probably see another couple hard plastic kits too.

A squad of 5 will do me for now. They will make a fine 3rd gen power armour commando group in Tomorrow's War when not being used for their regular purpose in DZ.

Looks like Enforcers are my second main DZ faction after Forge Fathers. And I think that walker is getting the Reb treatment. Time to start organizing the games room to fit all of this.

Edit - And payment successful! Time to give my bank a wad of cash to forget this ever happened.

After the KS is over and all the dust has cleared, they will start sending out emails with what you need to do, and how to do it.

Click on their avatar on the KS page and then click on "contact me".

I wonder if it's good thing or a bad thing that my credit card company don't even bat an eyelid when I drop several hundred dollars on a KS!
