The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Yeah, I actually pledged for a silver early bird too, likely for the Warrior Demon. Will have to look at my finances closer to the end but that's actually less than I expected it to be (granted, I know I'll have to add on for shipping later) so I'll likely stay in for it

Muahahaha, Vulture Demon will be mine. Also; jeebus-motorboating-christ, the prices - £45 + shipping for the "silver" models, that's less than a third the cost of similar models from "well known competitors" with at least equivalent quality(and in the case of the Vulture Demon, IMO, also with superior aesthetics).
Now I just have to hope you don't come out with more stuff I can't do without, hah.

Hell yeah, got the bronze level early bird special and the awesome Spider Deamon! I was actually really surprised by the price too. 65 CAD is nothing for such an awesome model.
Also were we supposed to be given a survey to ask us which model we would like after we pledged or will that be sent to us later?

Oh man, the more I look at that page, the worse it gets. Free Bronze level model with $700.00 pledge. Tempting me with all sorts of nonsense... Must... resist.

Yodhrin- I agree, I was kind of shocked at the price! Very reasonable, although again, shipping not included (but it never is on a website order, either). I was actually just going to pledge $1 to watch it, but I'm glad I checked at launch because at this price I am so in
And already funded in ~16 minutes, well done!!

That's usually sent after the kickstarter time ends.

Also note that if you want more than one model but not the bundle, the add-on prices are halfway in-between the early bird price and the normal price, which is nice.

Aye congrats Jeremy
After what we've been told I'm actually pretty unconcerned about the shipping price. Assuming as the page indicates they'll ship from inside the UK, it shouldn't be more than £5-10 extra depending on weight and service used, the final cost will still be fantastic value.

Pledged Bronze for the Spider Demon, was hoping to get the plague demon as well but it's not listed :(
I also can't find Postage costs anywhere :(
The Plague Demon needed reworking, it may well show up as a stretch goal I think. Postage costs will be calculated after we use the pledge manager, but from your flag, you can get a rough idea by figuring out how much a model like this would cost to ship from the UK, as that's where EU folk will be getting theirs from.

If you pause the video at 2:22 you can see 3 stretchgoal models. 2 or 3 headed dragon, tree woman and undead dragon (sure looks pretty bony to me).
Was hoping to get early bird specials on everything but I hope they have some good deals on the additional models added like they do now (extra spider demon was 70 compared to 65 early bird or 75 normal).
Do we know at what pledge levels extra models will be unlocked?
Thanks for the ambassador'ing Yodhrin. You are correct.
All of the models coming up that will be unlocked are secret, but you will not have to wait long. First wave of unlocks is parts, then the first model will be unveiled. 22 day campaign will go by fast, so the updates will be fairly furious.

Any specific pledge amount you're looking to hit before you release those? Or are you going to stagger them out so that they don't all come at once because we like throwing money at you (which I'm sure we'd be more than happy to oblige if you want to do it that way)?

I am going to be here and on the Facebook and on the campaign page all morning (morning for me) so ask me anything you need.
Thank you for making this an amazing launch!
Practiced button mashing
Thanks for checking in here, it is much appreciated!
MadCow, you're right about the profiles shown in the video. But the Plague Demon (not one I'm interested in, but it has been mentioned by others a number of times) was definitely mentioned as a possibility by CreatureCaster earlier in this thread. If enough folks ask about it maybe it will get moved up in the queue
Here's a video which someone just posted in the comments showing it and some of the others (from earlier and WIP still, of course):

Well, I WAS planning on trickling out the stretch goals. Well, really there are a lot of UNLOCKS first, then stretch goal model. I am going to publish my first wave of unlocks much sooner than I had anticipated, probably tomorrow evening.
