Not to pick on other Kickstarters, but Mantic's and Maki's "clip-together-clip-it-apart-again" modular system, that I can build and rebuild each time like Lego is something rather different than Resin scenery that I have to assemble like a model more or less, making it "fixed" for its life as a terrain piece (unless you start breaking out all the files, pliers and other hobby-tools again).

You can only build and rebuild these, if you don't paint them. And then they may look as Lego.

This campaign is only at its start. Once it will get 30,000$ like Maki or 680,000$ like Mantic, there will certainly be more options. It is a small business right now after all.

Which is fine.

If I wanted to do a nicely painted Infinity Diorama for a painting competition, I'd probably go with Escenorama.

If I want some terrain that I can shove into some box or backpack to take over to a friends house or even a FLGS, assemble on the fly - gothic side out or industrial side out - I'd probably take something like Maki. I wouldn't even have to care if somebody sits on it or steps on it.

Get yourself a $50.- / € 30,- Escenorama building and do this!



All I am saying is that they are different products, setting different priorities.

Maki's themes are serviceable. I am not saying they are the greatest-looking Terrain Pieces ever made, but that isn't their priority. Their entire goal of the Kickstarter is to make something robust that can stand up to heavy-duty gaming, Seven-Up spills and house-cats knocking your stuff off the gaming table.

... including your totally robust Infinity products

It looks like Deadzone got all the money, which is a shame because these buildings will be great for adding a little character to a DZ board.

Some news:

1.) Currently, every backer will get 6 boxes as shown above for free. With the next strech goal of 5000, every backer will get one free control panel, if it reaches 7000 $ then 10 free streetlights will be added for all backers. Two streetlights are also added to the catwalk section perk.




2.) Also, the main stretch goals have been rearranged and are now lower. They changed from:

GROUP 1

3.000 € MINITARGET "A" SCENERY "SCI FI INDUSTRIAL"

7.000 € MINITARGET "B" SCENERY "HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND MANGA"

12.000 € MINITARGET "C" SCENERY "ROOMS, CORRIDORS AND MISCELLANEOUS FOR HUMANS AND ALIENS (BOARD GAMES) "

GROUP 2

18.000 €- MINITARGET "D" SCENERY "URBAN NEAR FUTURE"

24.000 €-MINITARGET "E" SCENERY "NO HUMAN CIVILIZATION"

35.000 €- MINITARGET "F" SCENERY "STEAMPUNK"

to

GROUP 1

3.000 € MINITARGET "A" SCENERY "SCI FI INDUSTRIAL" (REACHED!)

5.000 € MINITARGET "B" SCENERY "HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND MANGA"

7.000 € MINITARGET "C" SCENERY "URBAN NEAR FUTURE

GROUP 2

9.000 €- "MINITARGET "D" SCENERY "ROOMS, CORRIDORS AND MISCELLANEOUS FOR HUMANS AND ALIENS (BOARD GAMES) "

12.000 €-MINITARGET "E" SCENERY "NO HUMAN CIVILIZATION"

15.000 €- MINITARGET "F" SCENERY "STEAMPUNK"

They are quite excited about their High Tech design models and will show a preview soon. That's why they lowered the strech goal for them and everything else. I will keep you updated.

3.) For these two perks, you can also add the option to get them painted to the quality as shown in the pic:

Where does it show the quantity of added street lights and which pledge they are added to?

The street lights look awesome and some of the other bits would be perfect to round out my, as of right now completely theoretical, entirely Kickstarter based Infinity terrain collection.

This stuff looks very nice, but I'm tapped out financially, and I'm not willing to go in on anything on IndieGoGo anymore.

Oops, made a small mistake.
Currently only boxes are free for all backers. The control panel will be added for free, if the campaign reaches 5000$, the 10 streetlights will be added free for all backers, if the campaign reaches 7000$. Will change that in the above post.
BTW here the (big) graph showing that it will be 10 streetlights:

No problem, thanks to the linguistic forensics team I hired I was able to work it out!
Looks like they added the streetlights as an add on, so I'm sure I'll be in either way before this is over.

The folks added some new add-ons:

I can't help to feel a bit stupid but could you guys explain how this campaig works?

If, for example, I buy a terraforming station at €30. Does that mean I get the station, plus a bunch of barrels and such. and they will ship it for free. And as thy've reached their €3000 goal I get a bunch of boxes too?

What happens when they reach the next goal, do they send that fancy holoprojector to everyone who've bought so far, or is that only for those placing new orders?

Also, how do I contribute? By buying their stuff or by donating?


As I said, I feel a bit stupid, but it's a lousy page and the dual language confuses me
Other than that i must say that the terrain is realy nice and i'd very much like to get a bunch of their stuff!

No need to fell bad - for me this whole campaign has been on the confusing side.

That + Indiegogo has equaled no pledge from me - yet! I am tempted though...

Yep, that's how it is. You get the bundle on the pic plus the boxes currently. The pic confirms, postage is included.

If the end total of the campaign is above 5,000 $, you will also get the holoprojector in your package for free. For that reason, all packages will be send after the campaign has ended.

For contributing, just follow the instructions after the Contribute button. Big difference to Kickstarter is that you pay immediately, not after the end of the campaign. So if you want more, you have to pay the difference again.

And yes, Indiegogo is a bit awkward in relation to Kickstarter, but only (?) Raging Heroes dared to get through all the bureaucracy for non-US-UK companies to comply with Kickstarter requirements, and it took them 2 months of work.

Also keep in mind that this is a very small business and English is not their native language.

Thanks for clearing that up for me ^^
They make a pretty good try at english though, it just gets a bit confusing

Campaign is less than 400 € away from the next strech goal, which is this modern SciFi landing platform, the first of their “Manga and High Tech” range:

Can someone make a brief posting on why Indiegogo would make you want to not pledge on a campaign? I've only used Kickstarter so I'm not getting what you guys are saying, I presumed they were more or less the same thing, except IGG has flexible funding (which I thought people liked?). A PM is fine if you don't want to go offtopic.

Indiegogo takes the money up front, right away.

If it doesn't fund (and many use 'flexible funding' so most will fund) you get your money back.

Not sure how it works if you want to change your pledge level down mid-campaign either.

With flexible funding campaigns if you want to remove or lower your pledge you need to actually contact the campaign owner and ask for a refund, and if i remember correctly they aren't obligated to give you a refund so you're SOL if they refuse. (The last IGG campaign i backed was 6 months ago though, and their TOS concerning refunds may have possibly changed within that time frame.)

IndieGogo also has nowhere near the amount of active backers as Kickstarter, to the point where only a small handful of miniature based IGG campaigns (5 by my count.) have actually managed to go above $50,000.

These look great, I just pledged for the T.E.D. and the terraformer. They will make great Tau buildings for my table.

5,000€ passed and “Manga and High Tech” range unlocked. Control panel added to all pledge levels. More details later.

Very tempted by that landing platform but I can't find a pledge level for it. Hopefully they will add one in the next day or so.

I am also waiting for that pledge level, should be out soon.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
New perk with Platform is added (80€), only 3 days to go:

Last 2 days for this campaign.
Less than 700 € to next strech goal, the free street lamps.

Last day has begun and another perk has been added:
3 info points and a data loader:



Automatically Appended Next Post:
7,000 Euro passed and 10 streetlights added to each perk.

With 7000€, also this small cargobot was unlocked as a freebie:


Two last minute perks added:
Two types of prepainted 180x120cm Infinity boards for people with deep pockets:




12 hours to go.

Love the cargobot silhouette... can't figure out what it comes with, though!

If you pledge for any perk, you get the following freebies:
1.) Six cargo boxes.
2.) One holographic control panel
3.) Ten streetlights
4.) One cargobot.

If you pledge for two perks, you get the freebies for each perk, that is 12 cargo boxes, ...

Finally pledged at the Container XLpack level, I may go in for a second one before it's all said and done.

I didn't realise that IGG takes Paypal or I would have been in on this sooner.

LOVE the steps to their catwalk system, but I'm not feeling the value of the 60E pledge level.

Just 5 hours to go on this!

I didn't realize that either... now I'm going to try and forget it ASAP

Okay, campaign finished at 8434€ with about 50 new funders within the last 24 hours. Congratulations!

So my final count was the T.E.D., platform, and terra former. I spent way too much lol.
