Well, I'm in for a Bronze Early Bird. The prices are definitely less that what I expected.

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.

Will there be an update laying out where some of those unlocks might occur? Obviously it's only 1 hour into the campaign but a few folks did ask in the comments about that (so just passing it along).

One thing I would love for alternate parts with the warrior demon is something to swap for the horns. This pic without horns is probably my favorite of it anywhere:



He just looks awesome! If I can fit this model into my army it'd be as a K'daii Destroyer, so with smaller / alternate / no horns, it avoids having too much of a generic demon look and just looks like a freaking bad@$$ monster!

I may also do something about the wings, but obviously that'd be my own conversion and not an unlocked part for the Kickstarter... but something to swap in for the horns would be small and easy, and totally awesome! It'd make the model much more versatile, too . And heck, a small part to cover up the wing joints to make a giant on-foot demon could be useful, too.

Note: I only suggest the above because I know you're planning to include extra / exclusive parts. Rather than a different weapon, I think those parts would be really cool and useful. So just my suggestion

That'll go down well in the comments section!

In for silver.

I really like the Pincer.

Also guys it's down to less than 5 bronze (spider demon) and 15 gold (dragon) early birds, so if you want one snag it!

I'm in at the bronze level. I wish I knew what level the tree people and plague demon were going to be at. I'd jump in at Gold if I knew that's what level they'd be at.

Snagged one of the last bronzes. All gone now. Wanted the spider demon and at $59 US a lot of manufacturers can't beat that. Look forward to this campaign

@Thatguy- Good question, but I doubt either the plague demon or tree creature would be bronze (probably gold or silver, and since gold is the only one with early birds left, I might put in a placeholder there and just drop down to normal silver later if needed).

@CreatureCaster- The natives are getting a Little restless in the comments lol (they're making us look like a nice and patient bunch!). So putting in a comment over there or an update sometime shortly might be a good idea

I noticed that you don't have any comments on Kickstarter to date, but in other campaigns I've seen that a one-liner "Working on an update now!" posted in the comments by the creator can miraculously calm the storm for a bit (see what I did there?)

$30K goal - shattered!

Currently at $56K!

No stretch goals revealed or unlocked?

Missed the launch and the silver EB I wanted, but picked up a bronze EB instead. Now I'll be getting the spider demon and the pincer demon rather than just the pincer demon. Depending on what the unlocked figures are this could get pretty expensive pretty quickly..

I also used the live in North Van, around the corner from the college and in the building behind the game store that the videos are filmed at. The store opened up after I moved unfortunately, I wish it had been there when I lived there.

On the last couple of days, there's a mini-game available on Kickstarter. It goes like this:

1. Set your bid high enough to cover all your options then monitor the site for people dropping their early bird pledges (it happens).
2. Jump in on that pledge level.
3. ??
4. Profit.

in an interview right now, and I will be back right after

Update is posted! From the Kickstarter comments section, he mentioned the first unlocks will be coming as a wave in an attempt to catch up (these will be alternate parts for the current sculpts, included free, and later stretches will be for additional models) which will all be revealed tomorrow.

Also that link above is to a live stream where he is answering questions, which is pretty cool

---

Notes from the live stream:

-Original plague demon was too large and so was getting reworked, a smaller one will be revealed in 10 or 11 days, and then original is being worked on and may make it back into the campaign. He also asked folks to post in the comments if that's what you're looking for regarding the plague demon.

-Video diary on the main page of the Kickstarter campaign will likely be updated on a daily basis

-Spider demon will have alternate sword and alternate head (for the currently greyed out kickstarter exclusive parts on the main page)
First wave of bits will be unlocked within 48 hours after CreatureCaster crashes from the launch craziness

Video links:
Spider Demon free alternate sword can be seen here (2 minutes in):

Spider Demon free alternate head is somehwere in this video (let me know if you find it, it's pretty long!):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCe7ps6QIxU

-First unlocks revealing within 2 days (likely tomorrow night), first stretch goal model revealing within 5 days

First extra parts already unlocked and shown in the graphic! And they all look sweet

Tides is on point, and holding court like a boss!

I am going to be unlocking exclusive parts until we get 6 of them out, and then perhaps start up with the 2nd round of unlocks. Add a lot of value to the models you already got right at the start.

After about a week we will be into stretch goal models, with their own upgrades as well.

I am going to be afk for a short while. Post any questions here, and if they arent ambassador ninja'd then I will get to them when I get back

While I like the alt spider head a lot I keep seeing an elongated smiley ehad on account of the 2 front eyes.
I think 6 eyes are sexier and more menacing like the quick photoshop to the right:

If the consensus agrees, that is a pretty easy sculpt to apply. I like it as well. We will get into some hardcore design stuff both during and after the campaign, and this would be a perfect thing to discuss in our first backers-only google hangout.

I like the 8 eyed head - and not just because spiders have 8 eyes!

Spiders depending on species can have 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 or 0 eyes with 8 and 6 being the most common

Great.

The best hunting spiders have 8 so... 8 it is for me!

I don't play Daemons, but that Pincer Demon is calling me. OTOH hand I missed the Early Bird by minutes so I am a bit annoyed and not in the mood to share my rupees. I killed a lot of octoroks for those things, and they are precious to me.

That'd be an expensive visit to the optician Gotta think about the practical bits too In any case I can always file off the extra eyes.

It's easier to fill in or smooth over eyes that are sculpted in place than add your own and get them at actually match those already there

so 8 for me too

I prefer the eight eyed version too, it just makes it look more unique.

I am sworn off buying new miniatures until I've painted what I already have, but this is so very tempting. I have a mighty want for a few of those demons.

Fulfilment isn't til November...

edit

That's exactly what I was going to point out, azrael

Enablers each and every one of you!

Am I reading it right : you cant get the emporer dragon unless you pledge the highest level?

They are the largest models, so that makes sense.

I went in for the spider daemon, but I really want the Pincer demon too. A male Keeper of Secrets running around would be a lot of fun. Plus his sword looks awesome.

And then there's the dragons. My chaos army doesn't yet have a dragon for my chaos lord - though this isn't two-headed, so it's still not quiiiiite right...
