Ok thanks!

I'm not a crossover person (but LOTS of people are) so that doesn't really interest me, but that 800K stretch WIP art does look sweet. As does the 700K.

It's just about to cross 600K, so I think it will make the 700K goal... could probably use a halfway goal to help it get there, though (although the KD crossover model may do that).

**cincydooley**

I'd have loved a candy and cola in this art style, but ill certainly learn to deal with "only" the Twilight Knight. :-)

Go baby go!

Wow.. that is one serious tail! Congrats to Merc minis on a job well done.

**highlord tamburlaine**

They said they've got standbys in case this does actually break 800k... that's a lot of money! At the rate this thing is climbing they just might need to institute them!

**yamato**

Over $600k,... The Slaughterfield tiles are in!

**Lakedaimon**

Pledged. Now im just hoping it can hit 700k because hey free boss

**Grot 6**

Love that artwork look. Any Way to make some Cthuhlu cultists and a beast in that style?

How do these figures scale up with Endless Fantasy tactics figures?

**yamato**

not sure how they go with those,... the heroes are 30-32mm tall,... I think they are calling it 28mm heroic scale,... similar to GW and PP sized characters.

just over 14 hours left,......

hurry up,... the train is leaving (yeah, I'm talking to you!)

**plastictrees**

Pledged! And with the grudging consent of my wife!

**recruittons**

And 650k is hit! The torchbearer KS exclusive follower is in! Up next, the cyclops boss in 49k and counting

**yamato**

It just keeps rocking,... I think they are working on putting up extra cyclops captains in some form,... Goal or add on.

**stormboy**

This has gone past my wildest expectations.

It is just so good - I think I may add a couple add ons just to show support (and also try to push it a little bit towards the Cyclops Boss).

**recruittons**

About 13 hours to go and the 50k needed to get the cyclops boss is a near lock. The thing I'm really starting to think is that getting to 800k isn't so impossible. I mean, the last 2 hours of this project are going to be absolutely NUTS. I could see 50+k being made in just that time, maybe more!

**deleted20250424**

I couldn't take it anymore.

I had to get in.

$205 gets me Captain and the add-ons I want.

Damn you Kickstarter!!

[This in no way affects my gross spending in the Robotech KS]

Another add-on surfaces! This is stuff to add to your enjoyment of the SLAUGHTERFIELD! game mode

"And they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was upon them." - Tolkien, The Ride of the Rohirrim

Our last update (maybe, we promise), is the Slaughterfield Supplement Pack. It contains three separate Slaughterfield Decks. These decks can only be used with the Slaughterfield game mode.

The first deck is a 10 card Random Spawn Generator. This allows you to have a completely random game every time. Each session of Slaughterfield consists of 10 waves of terror. The Heroes task is only to survive as long as they can and take as many of them with you as possible. Traps can be turned against the Darkness, but to separate from the rest of the group is certain death.

The second deck is a 15 card Slaughterfield Items deck. These items can only be used in Slaughterfield, but every treasure pick-up is guaranteed to be a good one. This deck greatly increases the survivability past Wave 5.

The third deck is a 15 card Slaughterfield Achievement Deck. This deck contains tasks for the Heroes. These tasks are dealt randomly to each player and are kept secret until turned in for a reward or at the end to supplement victory points awarded for kills and waves survived.

Let the slaughter begin.

Well Ho-lee-crap.

That's going to push some $$.

Well played, Brian and Keith. Well played.

No kidding.

Suggestions? Would it be cheaper to e-bay the knight later on or just pledge the $75 for minion level and sell the game contents?

**recruittons**

My opinion, the second one is far more consistently valuable, since you WILL get the knight and you WILL be able to sell the box to someone (or at least parts of the box. There are several neat minis in there)

**Grot 6**

BOOM! Roasted. 700 is in the bag.

**recruittons**

Jeez! There is a VERY real possibility of that 800k goal now! A little under 11 hours to go, the biggest 2 hours at the end, and less than 100k to get it. I'm getting excited!

**RiTides**

Still 10 hours to go, but it'll be interesting to see how it does with much of the US asleep. I think it will keep climbing... all the night owls (and of course people in Europe / etc) will keep it going

@PsychoticStorm: Last I heard, it was 4 packs of the regular sized sleeves and 3 packs of the item sized sleeves

Well, heck. This means I have to either up my pledge to get enough sleeves or drop all the sleeves I ordered.

Apparently, quite well indeed - $800K shattered!

**yamato**

Wow,.. Just amazing,... Marcus the Ready is ours!

Ack!!!!! Maybe a DRAGON if we can get to $900k in the last three hours!

Creator MERCS Miniatures less than a minute ago

So, with complete transparency. You guys and gals have clearly outpaced our expectations and abilities at this point. I think that is abundantly clear.
Keith has 20 minutes to get a handle on a concept for a minor dragon. If it is good, we'll proceed and you'll have a 900k stretch. If it is not, you have everything we can give you. Cross you fingers.
We will wait to do a major dragon (one that would smack your momma in the mouth), but in light of how we are driving towards 900k, introducing the concept of minor and major is something we were going to do anyway.

**Alpharius**

Is it a paid add-on?

**yamato**

no, they said a stretch @ $900k or not at all

We will not add an add-on. It will be a stretch or nothing.

We're working it up now. You will have your Dragon (Drake actually). Hold on to you butts.....

$816k with just under 3 hours left!!!!!!!!!!!

**Alpharius**

At $820K now, with 2 hours to go - this one is going to be close!

Update #54 · Apr 24, 2013 · 2 comments

This is it, our last stretch goal. Let's end it in style.

It is time to slay some dragons!!!!

**yamato**

Fire Drake,........ ahhhh,.... pledge pledge pledge everyone,.... I just had my kid take $100 out of his piggy bank to open an account!

**RiTides**

Nice that they didn't do a paid add-on right at the end, which folks might not see in time to pledge for, but I think it would've helped to make 900K. What a crazy last day here!

**cincydooley**

This continues to get cooler and cooler.

Rawr. Dragon.
