Already it has smashed the crap out of Zombicide II in terms of its opening day. $1mil on day 1 is looking like it is very much on-track.

@OP - Can we get a text breakdown of all the stuff in this Kickstarter? I'm having trouble even counting how many minis I'm getting right now .

based on a quick count the core set is sitting on around a 100 models with a margin of error of 1-5

I count 99 models right now (counting each terrain piece as a model), and 105 if the 471,000 stretch is passed.

the barrels in the terrain are actually 2 models each, they mentioned in the comments that the barrels are stacked on each other and they will take a better pic when things slow down

There are 8 pieces in the terrain not 6.. its explained in the update..

Then 101 models. I stand corrected. Why are they making me read and not just having correct pretty pictures?

btw, if you folks don't want to drown in updates:

Go to Kickstarter, click "Me" in the top right corner.

Click "edit settings", select the "Notifications" tab from the top middle.

Click "Manage project notifications" on the right side.

Click on the little mail icon to remove email updates, the cell phone for mobile updates, and you can tweak individual projects you don't want to hear from at all.

This last part is particularly useful if, like me, you've backed a few for $1-5 that you thought were worthy causes but aren't actually getting anything from them and don't want to get spammed with emails or updates in general about the project(s).

Cool, thanks for the mini count!

I wonder if we'll end up with 300 minis total this time?

At least with the separate shipping they don't have to concern themselves with that when figuring out how much stuff they can cram in there.

That bones bull is another model I'll be buying at retail. But as I'd like 6 bulls, a $100 pledge only getting me one doesn't really work.

Same for the bugbears. Ah well!

I know it will slow down, but as of right now Kicktraq has this trending towards $7,865,182

People keep mentioning this, but amazingly as this campaign is doing (and will continue to do), trying to extrapolate nearly 4 weeks of data off an hour or two is absolutely meaningless.

No offense, and yes you do recognize that it will slow down, but people throwing out KT numbers even as funny asides can make people get a little funny in campaigns. Like the sky is suddenly falling because it's 'only' trending towards "$Texas" instead of "$DeathStar" when a day rolls over.

Anyway, I hope the scenery pieces become available as an add on. Similar to the pain, assuming a reasonable S&H fee, I could totally see grabbing a pack to improve my tables.

I'm doubtful it'll get that high. Willing to bet your scenery pieces on that? :-P

We really don't have enough info to accurately guess how much this will end with. There were 17,000+ backers last time and they're only at a quarter of that so far. As more stretch goals are unlocked there will be more options to add things in and towards the end of the KS I think they're going to let people get multiple sets of the free "Treat" sets they've been adding to the $100 level. That will provide a big kick, especially with some of those units being useful for army building. If they get a lot of media coverage again that should help too. Also, who knows what else Reaper has up their sleeves? I could see them having a new awesome option unlock every week regardless of what funding level they're at to generate some more big bumps.

They should be doing the same pledge manager thing they did last time where you can purchase the "sets" as add ons. If you want to avoid retail prices..

I saw in the comments Reaper say that towards the end they'll let people buy multiples of the "free" options.

I am not sure we will get as good of a deal as last time.. But I could be wrong.. Currently it is less than $1 per fig which in my mind is still a great deal..

They'll probably open adding more later, like they did in KS1. Somewhere in the comments that was asked about and the answer was that that was a popular thing in the first kickstarter (so I'd assume it would be done again).

Have seen discussion of a possible second Bones Kickstarter, but no real evidence until I saw this:

Can we get the OP to update the first post with something useful?

I guess I've been spoiled by other KS threads but this one leaves a little to be desired.

They have shown the Cube of DOOM.. This is awesome..

$500K for Gelatinous Cube!

OP mentioned he was having problems viewing images so wasnt able to update things

Seems the devil is in the details.. The Cube is hollow with a decorative base..

And translucent so you can see whatever model you put it over (the base is detachable) pretty awesome IMO

There should be a warning in the forum rules - "Don't create KS threads unless you want a second full-time job for the next month". :p

agreed this is awesome

Multiples of the same sculpt is not a winner with me. And some of those are already bones like the knoll. Still, more bones is great! And the cube sounds pretty cool.

Too bad we can't have it reassigned to someone else.

thanks for volunteering! Create a new thread with sexy images and a mod will close this one!

Lesser demons up next!



Perfect for my Mantic armies. Either as gargoyles or lesser abyssals.

107 models at the moment.. That is .93 cent each..

Heeeeellll no. I have enough work on my other thread.

None of the Amazon hosted pics are displaying (at least for me). The update pics hosted by Reaper come over just fine.

If someone could re-host the pic of the initial offering, I would be most grateful.

Alpharius was being cute and changed the thread title instead of starting a new thread for the KS kickoff, which is what should have been done (and should STILL be done). Thread could be split into pre and post KS start threads.

So glad the US government has shut down, collapsed their unstable economy and the dollar is in freefall... it makes this KS much cheaper to back for us overseas folk.

Exchange rate was £67 for $100 a few days ago, it's now £62 and probably going to fall further.

I'm in for now, but I WILL cancel my pledge if we don't see solid international shipping info with cushioning. I see no reason why I should subsidize shipping for american backers.

You're not; you're paying what it'll cost to ship to your country, so they don't need to provide a single ROW shipping cost. Maybe they'll provide a few tiers of shipping as well so you can chose whatever level you feel provides the best value. I think they also underestimated the shipping cost last time and got burned pretty badly.

US shipping is free, that means the cost of it is spread amongst all backers. I pay actual cost for my own shipping and part of the cost for the free US shipping that I do not benefit form.

Maybe they just included about $10 shipping into the $100 pledge cost, and international backers will pay shipping minus $10?
