Well this kickstarter started with a major disappointment for me.

There goes the early bird I wonder why I ever camped for it, the entire page is arcane and un intuitive, the pledges a mess and the only reference that commander and upward gets free minis is buried.

Um... no.

Early Bird Special LIEUTENANT BOX - 3 $10 Heroines (or $30 worth of Heroines) + 4 $15 Troops (or $60 worth of Troops) + 4 $15 Supports (or $60 worth of Supports) + Kickstarter exclusive miniature + the TGG Digital Artbook. This level also INCLUDES ACCESS TO ALL UNLOCKED FREEBIES.

The Commander and above just get extra hero models but they're not the only one with "free minis".

112,000 - 1000% funded within the hour.

"Second stretch goal, because we're optimistic ;-)"

Your math is off. $120 000 would 1000% of 12 000

Backing for $1 to keep an eye on it. Not sure quite yet.

I thought it was really well laid out, with an easy to see graphic for what each pledge level received.

o

I agree. There had a wealth of graphics for each level showing what you get. And you can choose which faction boxes, unlike being forced into a starter for each. Something that kept me out of Dead zone.

And that's BEFORE the stretch goals, the freebies, the free upgrades, and the gift minis included in all pledges from CAPTAIN BOX and above...

Early Bird Special COMMANDER BOX - 5 $10 Heroines (or $50 worth of Heroines) + 6 $15 Troops (or $90 worth of Troops) + 6 $15 Supports (or $90 worth of Supports) + Kickstarter exclusive miniature + 1 Additional $10 Heroine + the TGG Digital Artbook. This level also INCLUDES ACCESS TO ALL UNLOCKED FREEBIES. Shipping: US add $23. EU add 20$. France add $10. Other countries, please see FAQ

Yep. They'll send out a survey and you choose which ones, and can usually add more funds if necessary.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT!!!!!!!!

I lol'd a bit

Lieutenant and above get "Freebies" stretch goals. Captain and above get "gift" stretch goals. Took me a minute to figure it out too.

I am really interested to see the Mecha units

Why do I now have an image of their entire office running around with arms flailing?

There are 50 new 156$ Early Birds!

Lol it's actually nice to hear Americans complaining about P&P. You guys normally get it free and us international backers pick up the slack for you with the usual excuse of 'its included in the pledge'. Just suck it up for a change, I'm actually only paying $3.00 less then you yanks and france is part of the bleeding EU!

Anywho im in for the Iron Empire and surprisingly I won't be using them for 40k (shock and horror!) I will be using tbem as my Corporation troopers for Warpath.

At this rate my selection of minis might be unlocked already!

Just a bit sad that it might be until March next year that I'll have everything in hand.

What is the difference between the $230 EB package and the $350 one?

Both appear to be completely identical.

They are. So is $367. They're typos and terrible deals that people pledged to.

Or meant to be early bird captains

367 is not meant to be an early bird captain.

Anyways, RH is on it, they've been reducing those pledges as people drop them.

I've dropped a Commander EB ($230), if someone wants to snap it up.

I went for a lieutenant instead

We are still shaky from the shock of this amazing start.... my fingers are shaking, can't type properly on my keyboard. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH. We'll answer all your questions as soon as our heartbeat is back to normal....

They've unlocked the heavy trooper command groups. The concept art looks awesome.

They're well on top of things IMHO, I asked them a question and got a reply in less than five minutes.

So 1100% in the first hour, impressive!

BTW: Heresy! There is a male character hidden!

I'm glad to see the approach they took to the massive surge. Instead of trying to do updates they are just unlocking a ton of their blanks on the page and then can do a single massive update.

They haven't got an update in yet, but they have updated the graphics to represent all the stretch goals we blew through... lots of stuff unlocked already


and i don't want to wait for March next year much either, but they are going to make some of it available in Sept.....

We made sure that our sculpting planning was realistic. This means that you'll be able to have access to a first wave of production as early as September. And we have set up and used for the past several months a sculpting workflow that allows us to create many miniatures quickly without compromising their quality. This means that 80% of the sculpting process will be done by the end of the Kickstarter

Yeah I'm glad I upped from Major to Colonel, the concept art looks fantastic and all the renders we've seen look better than the concept art. I grabbed a general first off but thought "nah, that's a little much".

Initial rush of pledges seems to have settled at ~$135K. A good first day!
