and that completes the Beta Team box as I thought it would

You have to pick a valid pledge level (so $100) before you can get addons. You can't just get addons alone.

Yeah, but the "get a full pledge and add any add-ons" was a bit to vague for me, especially since many people here said that you probably won't be able to buy Apocalypse by itself. I asked CMON to clarify if that meant I could less that $100 and buy only add-ons, but since they were incapable to send me any sort of reply in the last five or so days, I pulled the my pledge.

The answer is no.

You have to pick a valid pledge level in order to place an order for add-ons.

If you only want add ons, you'll have to piggy back with someone else.

You should be able to add the individual sin boxes in the PM.

You can make a $1 pledge now, and when the Pledge Manager goes live after the campaign has ended you can add more funds to get a full pledge and any add-ons you'd like.

During the Rivet Wars campaign, I was told I would be allowed to pledge for add ons only. Then when the pledge manager went live, I was told that was no longer an option, and given a refund. CMON does not allow for add on only pledging, not even during the pledge manager phase.

I dont know how to feel about the newest add-on. Sons of Anarchy made into Norse gods? ehhhh.....

I really like the Norse Gods biker set. It is unique and some of the best sculpts so far (they also really fit the theme of the game).

As for the $1 pledge. Most kickstarters will not let you pledge a dollar to get into the manager for add ons. The "add ons" are exactly that, added onto/above and beyond the base pledge... which is $100.

If you don't want the $100 pledge, you could buy it and piece it out on ebay. Even at reduced value on ebay, the core set, expansions, promos, etc, will net you more than double your $100 investment. Hell, that would pay for your pledge, apocalypse set, and give you money in your pocket to boot.

The promos alone will quadruple in value. Im currently trying to acquire missing promo figs from Zombicide Season 1, 2, and 3, and the going rate on ebay is like $50... each.

It's the shame that the sons of ragnarok are not antagonist hell club replacements rather then more heroes as that would have added a bit more gameplay (I am still down for them).

You can just wait for the add-ons to show up at the OLGS, same or better discount, no shipping cost. (No exclusives, either, of course.)

The Apocalypse miniatures are FANTASTIC. Maybe I'll even have time to paint them when they hit retail. (Yeah, right.)

While I wouldn't expect the Z:BP sticker shock (Others has fewer mini's), I guess the theme didn't get me as much as I thought it would. I dropped my pledge and will take a look at Cthulhu Wars.

I guess I'm more for "tentacles and blobs with human parts" than "human parts with tentacles and blobs" fan.

I doubt that these ones will jump in value like the Zombicide ones. (Especially S1). Zombicide is a lightning-in-a-bottle kinda thing. While I'm sure that these will increase in value, and there'll undoubtedly be some on eBay trying their luck, they won't be in the same value/resale league as any of the Zombicides.

Those Sons of Ragnarok are really tempting me. I could use them as Orlock stand-ins. Compared to ebay prices they're a steal! Tyr and Heimdall are too samey and Tyr is overall pretty lame, but I love the rest. Thor and his DAKKA gun \m/ Freya <3


As a European it's basically now or never (unless I want to be price gouged), though, and the Men of Faith DO have a flamethrower priest (I need new Redemptionists and Cawdor, c'mon, GW, give Necromunda the Space Hulk treatment ;_ and are exclusives. Probably going for base game, Apoc box and one additional box only. Team boxes have some cool but also some lame heroes eqch, but none of them are as cool models as the SoR or the voodo man and his priest pal. Sigh.

Who would have thought that it would be CMON beating Kingdom Death to the punch with making a straight up creature that looks like a vagina? (Re: the actual Nicolas model...)

Did you miss the Lion God?

Or many of the other monsters and abominations in this campaign already?

Yeah, from season 3 onward, zombicide KS exclusives really arent' an "investment", they are barely breaking even. I accidentally bought an extra Audrey in my pledge manager, and they go for like 14 bucks. Since I paid $10, that's not even worth the time to mail it. Season 1 and 2 were before the game really caught on, so there was an actual scarcity. Now it's like people who hoard modern toys or comics thinking they will go up in value when they are produced in droves and people have a collector's mindset.

Have you looked at the underside of the Nightmare Ram? It's hard to see that as anything else...

But yeah, the Others is full of vagina dentata monsters.

I would pledge if they had an add-on only pledge to get the biker gang. I have a use for them, but no way I'm pledging for the whole game just to add them on.

Have you considered finding a fellow Dakka-ite to piggy back on?

I was considering them for as necromunda gang

Not a bad idea.

4 hours to go. Maybe you can still make it.

If you're talking to me, no, I will not shell out for a full pledge just to be allowed the privilege to buy the one add-on I want.

I hear you. I think I'm the only aussie in this thread - at least in the last few pages. I'm down for $1 but I think it's going to go the way of Rum and Bones. I'm also not pledging well over AU$100 plus shipping to allow me to buy some other models that I'd like.

Allowing people to buy add ons only skirts the rules of KS, thus the hesitation of companies to do it.

Nearly everything will be available at retail later, too, so that's always an option as well.

Add ons of old stuff I could understand companies being wary,

but for something like this where the 'add on' is part of the campaign, and (technically) paid for by the campaign I can see no possible reason KS would object (especially as they are getting paid for it if it happens during the campaign

Exactly!

And besides, look what Mantic's Warpath is letting you 'add-on'!

Cincy is pretty much always going to defend CMON's choices, quality and so forth as he's an insider and does some occasional work for/with them - so it's probably a moot point choosing to argue any of that with him.

CMON could do it if they wanted to, but they simply don't want to. It's pretty straightforward.

I don't have a problem with them doing it that way either, it clearly works for them. I was just pointing out their way does not work for me.

Not really defending in this instance. Rather, telling you the deliberate choice that was made.

It's why a lot of the promos aren't ever for sale; due to the likeness issues were they to be sold it could elicit negative reactions from the likeness holders/IP owners. The situation with Marvin and Eva from Zombicide 1 prompted all that.

And that's fine for everybody.

While I was excited over the Apoc expansion, and expected that they'd unlock all 7 Sins, I was unimpressed by the push to have so many Faith teams and Acolytes but not a single Hell Club addition aside from the Mayor and slug rider. Plus, it's a little disappointing that Faith teams are largely random mixes of unrelated guys, whereas it would have been nice to have themed super SWAT & SEAL teams, with ordinary military and police to assist. But then, I'm not the director, just a potential customer who ultimately didn't back.

Even without either of us backing, CMoN will have raised $1.5M for a very successful campaign from over 10,000 backers, so they did quite well.
