And a nice update for the werewolf fans:

So, we've just sent you the Werewolf update, and it looks like your really like them...

So, we're gonna do a last tweak to our Road Map to help you unlock them!

Those beasties have a big development cost because they are so different from everything else in this Kickstarter, so our options are limited...

Nevertheless, here's what we're gonna do: we're modifying the Road Map to help you get the Female Werewolves faster:

$640,000 Freebie: 1 new Lulu +Uber-stretchgoal: 1st Kurganova Female Werewolve: Zagrath
$645,000 Free Upgrade
$648,000 Uber-stretchgoal: 2nd Kurganova Female Werewolve: Sheera
$656,000 Uber-stretchgoal: 3rd Kurganova Female Werewolve: Vankaree
$665,000 Uber-stretchgoal: 4th Kurganova Female Werewolve: Reyha

I think it's quite likely we'll see them unlocked, with only about $33000 needed to get them all at this point. Going to bed now, so I'll see how it ended when I wake up in the morning.

Heh, you have to hand it to them, they do know how to be passive aggressive: in the comments on Update #66, they ask which one you would want first. The only answer with any regularity? Reyha... who is last in the list.

Classy.

Well, we're pretty sure to get one of them, so I can go to bed having upped my pledge a tiny amount.

Raging Heroes do the best monsters, I.

While part of what you said was clearly sarcasm, I think Mierce has something to say about "best monsters"

And I believe we've got our first Were-she-wolf unlocked along with the lulu freebie.

$648k! Sheera unlocked!

I think all 4 should get unlocked, no sweat.

I can definitely see that, although Sheera was the only one that really had me excited.

SHE-RA... SHE-RA

I have...never seen that. (When I was a wee sprout we didn't have television.) Still, I lol'ed.

I know some of you have been plotting this out but I haven't and now it's biting me in the arse.

How much money will I need to spend to get 2000 point army for:

- Sisters of Battle
- IG Infantry (Elysian or DKoK)?

Or, if there is an ongoing discussion, could someone post the link.

Thanks.


Edit: I'm thinking about running the Jail Bait Birds as Elysians and the Kurganovas as regular IG.

A lot ^^
Especially since they don't have any kind of tanks... so you need to get those somehwere else.

I'm not worried about the tanks. I figure I've got at least a year (maybe two) to get what I need out of the eBay bargain basement bin.

Sheeeeeeet...2000 pts? A bunch.

I am scarfing down some food right now, but off the top of my head, I seem to recall that my EB Commander box was barely going to clear 750. (And I needed to factor in a fortification, I'm pretty sure.)

Sisters is obviously a bit cheaper... but it really is hard to say.

Okay. I won't worry about it then. Would be nice to have one of these EB Major's to drop.

There's a few EB eminences still open ... I bet those would get you to 2k points.

Does it usually cost $1500 to make a Catachan army? o.O

How about this as a rough guide for Sisters? All this, of course, assumes no tanks. I also assume full squads unless noted. I also calculate with no upgrades, which can easily account for a third of your points.

Troops
Battle Sisters - Group of ten. I assume a troop box and a command box. 125 pts, $30

HQ
Command Squad - I assume a command box. 115 pts, $15
Character - Counts as character. 65-115 pts, $10 (You get two winged models for free, so there's a counts-as Celestine for no extra scratch.)

Elites
Celestuab Squad - Regular or heavy troopers, 2 boxes. 155 pts, $30 or $40
Repentitia - None of the Raging Heroes figs seem to really fit, I think.

Fast Attack
Dominion Squad - 2 Trooper boxes. 135 pts, $30
Seraphim - Jetgirls, 2 boxes. 155 pts, $60

Heavy Support
Retributor Squad - Group of 5. Heavy troopers. 65 pts, $20
Penitent Engine - Mech. 85 pts per, $30



Vankaree unlocked, by the way!

Guys! Help me shore up my will power so I don't up my pledge by $100 to get all four werewolves...

IF the cyberzombies get unlocked, they'd be a nice unit for the chainsaw-nuns.
The tricke COULD be used for an immolator or the Exorcist.

I'm going to have to get one wolf....just one. This and Cthulhu are going to bankrupt me!

Here is another point-to-cash list, in case this is helping anyone, for IG.

HQ
Command Squad - Command box. 50 pts, $15
Character- Character. 70-185 pts, $10-20

Elites
Ogryn - Assume squad of 6. Assume werewolves, possibly one Kiki. 250pts, $150 or $120 for six Kiki's.
Ratlings - Two Lulu boxes or three sniper boxes plus one sniper character. 100 pts, $40 or $55
Psyker Battle Squad - Two troop boxes or ten Yagas. 110 pts, $30 or $100.
Marbo - Character. 65 pts, $10 or $15.
Storm Trooper Squad - 2 trooper or heavy trooper boxes. 165 pts, $30 or $40.

Troops
Infantry Platoon Command Squad - Command box. 30 pts, $15.
Infantry Squad - 2 trooper boxes. 50 pts, $30.
Heavy Weapons Squad - Assume 3 artillery selections. 60 pts, $45.
Conscripts - 10 trooper boxes. 200 pts, $150.
Veteran squad - 2 trooper boxes. 70 pts, $30.
Penal Legion Squad - 2 trooper boxes. 80 pts, $30.

Fast Attack
Sentinels - Mechs. 35/55 pts, $30 per.
Rough Riders - Bikes. 105 pts, $150.

Cool. Thanks a lot.

I'm getting Sheera and Zagrath. Full howl for one and the other is just dripping gore. That's awesome. I had to ditch two grunt squads and a grunt command squad, as well as the KST Tank Hunter heroine, but well worth it for two massive werewolves I think. Still 50/50 if I'm gonna ditch my pledge or not... I gotta go run the numbers.

A psychic unit would have to be made up of nine Yagas and one officer character, as the codex entry states the unit is made up of to nine psykers, plus one non-psychic model.

Yes, but all the Psykers have laspistols and close combat weapons. If you wanted an alternative look for your psykers, two trooper command boxes would get you where you need to go for a lot less money.

All trikes unlocked, 3 of 4 Werewolves unlocked, with the 4th just around the corner.

Kicktraq statistics are counting the last 4-5 hours as a new days, making statistics look a bit odd.
Still: 64,735$ and 197 new backers yesterday. 28,000$ and 81 new backers in the last 2-3 hours.
Anyone can still deny with a straight face that this kickstarter gets an end rush like most kickstarters do?

UNLOCKED: Free Upgrade + 2nd Were-Shewolf

Update #69 · Jul 7, 2013

The Kickstarter continues to grow, and we've all three of us been in front of our computers for quite a few hours straight. With the unlock of the female werewolves proceeding well, it looks like we have time for a quick run to the boulangerie for some croissants and pains au chocolat... One of the perks of pulling an all-nighter in France!

$645,000: Free Upgrade – Now Unlocked

$645,000 - The Riders on the Jailbirds, Kurganova Shock Troops and Iron Empire Motorbikes #3 all get one extra head and one extra arm.

$648,000: Uber-Stretch Goal – Now Unlocked

$645,000 - 2nd Kurganova Female Werewolve: Sheera!!

If there's enough pistols to go around in the trooper command box, I may even pick up some extras for my Inquisitorial Retinue psykers.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to make a counts-as SoB out of these. They've already said they'll be doing a space nuns kickstarter sometime in the nearish future. I'd wait for those.
