Completely out of curiosity: If they can deliver prototype figures in that material at the correct size, why do the production figures have shrinkage?

The protoypes are made one-off (similar to a master) while the regular production actually has a set of moulds utilized to knock out 6-10 miniatures at a time.

Hmm, am I to understand zombies in the incursion setting are physically incapable of placing their right leg in front of their left?

I'll see if we can't do a few favoring the left foot if we get far enough into the KS stretch goals!

Ah, now the game is truly feature-complete

I've been eying the Incursion APE Figures for years, but never got a chance to pick them up. I can't wait for this Kickstarter to start. I'm going to be so poor!

I ordered a box of them plus extras from Maelstrom before they went under along with brain-in-a-robot-jar and a ton of other Incursion and SotTR stuff including the rulebook. They were on "back order" for months and I never got them (though I did secure my money back). I ended up buying a bunch of DUST models to use instead.

It'll be nice to be able to finally get all these things.

We've got the latest revision of the box art for both Incursion and SNAFU in a nice side by side shot. Notice the word SNAFU in bright colors!

Very nice!

Launch this thing already!!!

Alph: Aug 7

I have three images to show you. Two are finished versions of art that you've already seen and the third is a bit of graphic design we'll be using for the KS. We would love your input!

I see you've potentially got some goals "way up there"!

Probably a good idea in terms of making sure you're covered and all that...

I like the art, and I hope we make it to plastic doors!

Also, apparently I'll be in at 'Metalhead'!

Are the different graphics associated with different levels? If that's the case, it's a very good idea. I know CMON did this with the Zombicide 2 campaign and it was really, really helpful.

yeah,
Very excited about this!
$700k !
I hope it does well As I think plastic doors sounds awesome.
for both this and other terrain projects!

Also try to not kill international interest with shipping costs!
It's turned me off many a kickstarter!
If shipping is killer I'll probably decide to sit it out and buy retail...

Panic...

Cool use of the 'donut' or 'lifebuoy' flamethrower

Any chance of a hint to the price of the sweet spot level (metalhead, I guess)?
As in, is this going to be in the ZC/SW price range, or more like that recent Cthulhu board game?

What do you mean way up there? That's stretch goal #2 after funding! You don't think we will have blasted through that after 30 seconds?



I'm teasing! We've charted stretch goals quite a ways up in case you folks decide to make this KS wildly successful. We don't want to be caught flat-footed

Yes, the different portraits are associated with different pledge levels. Figuring out who gets what always seems to be a challenge on may KS's and this seemed like an easy way to represent which pledge levels are included on the stretch goals

We've tried not to but the post charges us more to send stuff to folks internationally! Bastards! We've subsidized shipping at all levels with the higher pledges getting a greater level of subsidization.

Thanks! The Flamethrower, portable No. 2. Despite the zombies and werewolves and floating brians with machine guns we actually strive to be historically accurate where we can. It may be hard to see but the MI-13 commandos are actually packing em-2's.

We'll have something for you in a bit!

Just keeping "these are all the extras you get with this level" pics is great in that regard, as well (with perhaps a big fat red "locked" over any stretch components not yet unlocked) - and it probably doesn't hurt in the sales pitch once you start hitting a stretch goal or two!

any chance of a separate container headed for the EU if enough EU backers pledge?

We'll have something for you in a bit!

Oh, you tease!

It will be USA based, so... they'll probably have to find a EU based partner...

...which they already have in West Wind!

Well I bid you guys luck with it, a large fanbase certainly helps as I've learnt from my own Kickstarter.

Though I'm curious, will the MI-13 flamethrower be available through the Kickstarter?

That guy was made for the KS!

Because I know you Dakkanaughts are huge dog lovers, Nigel, the MI-13's v-serum mutated bulldog

Needs robot parts

I'm curious about MI-13's battle chaplain myself.

Does he kick ass in the name of the Lord? Because I couldn't help but think of Kung- Fu zombie fighting priests a la Brain Dead/ Dead Alive when I started thinking of battle chaplains.

Also- will 10 doors be enough for a typical game? Escape:Fight for Freedom offered up doors but there weren't anywhere near enough, which was a bit of a bummer.

IIRC the Battle Chaplin in SOTR had a sword.

Perfect number for a typical game!

I'm down for this. Out of curiosity, if someone were, say, interested only in getting the plastic figures and not the game, is there going to be a level for that?

Hey! You said you were getting the game this time! Don't you go back on your word!

Now if Grindhouse were to devise some single player AI rules for when I can't get anyone to sit down and play against me, well, then I guess I don't have much choice but to get the game....

As of right now, no, at least not during the KS. Now after release we will do plastics seperate as reinforcements, but we haven't developed the logistics for that yet.

I'm still planning to back it, I'm just asking a hypothetical question.

So far, it looks like the confirmed new sculpts we'll be getting will be German drop armor, British flamethrower, and the mutant bulldog. Can we expect more new figures for the KS? Or possibly a stretch that will multiply the number of zombies in the box?

Greman drop armor is a stretch goal! Brit flamethrower and mutant bulldog will be available right off of the bat. There will be other new figures and opportunities for more zombies

It's Rosie in color! We've looped back around to complete this concept of the APE mechanic/medic/combat engineer. Boy that sandwich looks delicious!

Here are the cards for the Kickstarter Exclusive Character Pack #1. First time you've seen Nigel in full color and also the first time you've ever seen Brigitte.

Brigitte has psychic powers - nice!
