Ach! Orange is my favorite color. It's like you were aiming down yer sights at me! Fine, fine, take my money. *Opens up wallet*

Yep, just for you, Phyr . That's the one I was waffling the most about of these first 4 colors, so glad to hear it impresses! The person taking these pictures didn't have the panels on-hand to show in the cubes, so I'll take pictures with the panels tomorrow when I receive them . It will be interesting to see what people think once the panels are in them, as I expect some will like the more muted black and burgundy style, and others the in your face purple and orange ones! There will be two more initial color offerings (which I am leaning towards olive green and "imperial grey" on, thoughts there appreciated). And up to a half dozen further colors if funding goes well in the campaign!

Edit: Copying over the pictures due to page rollover!

Delicious.
KS date will follow pretty quick after you get hold of these?

Yes, I've actually already submitted the Kickstarter for approval, and have 10 blogs / tournament players / etc that I am sending out ModCube packages to tomorrow as soon as these arrive to me! Assuming I approve of these samples the launch date will definitely be on Tuesday (May 5th). I will confirm that tomorrow when the samples are in-hand!

Orange works for me. Will tie in with my Nomads, and make it slightly less likely for me to forget them on friends gaming tables.
And then red for Xwing Rebels....Black for Empire...damn.

I want those purple ones! Purple has always been lucky for me.

So, I have Mad Photoshop 5K1LLZ!

But no sense of style...

None the less, Here's my Mod Cube Banner for my sig.


Feel free to use, steal, abuse, alter, change, or comment upon. I will gladly make changes if requested.

oh gak balls you have purple!

Where in the flippity funk are the blue frames, so we can get the two best colors together?!?!?!?!?

I want a bazillion of the purple and orange cube frames.

Orange and burgundy would be a nice paring.

I want to mix black and purple, to create blurple cubes. ^_^

Hey.. The cubes look good. Nice colour choices as well.


How long until the KS goes live?

Next Monday or Tuesday.

RiTides,

Are you going to do earlybird incentives?

Good show. Glad this is coming together. Thanks for creating a great gaming aid. Look forward to the launch.

I think RiTides hates early birds, as well as starting another campaign before the previous one(s) are completely delivered, so...

...the wait for MODOCTAGONS is going to be unbearable!

100 sided Mod Cubes!

Now with acrylic tiles so small you can't even read them!

No no... you guys are going in the wrong direction. After all the production headaches, and delivery nightmare that 10,000 kickstarter orders will cause, RiTides is going to do something that no one has ever done before....

ModNaughts.... modular, zero-sided tokens. They can be whatever you need at the moment.
Mark that unit that Jinked in your oppenents shooting phase? Now it is twin-linked, instead.
Use them as wounds taken AND wounds remaining ON THE SAME MODEL AT THE SAME TIME!
TFG at my gamestore has been product testing them for years now.


Just kidding...

ModNaughts are just degenerate ModCubes, after all.

Packing up the samples to send on to 10 independent reviewers / tournament players / blogs today!



I apologize for the radio silence, been slammed getting these out in time today. Will make a thorough reply to the above comments later tonight, and have nice closeup pictures of the samples tomorrow morning

Those are some lucky people!

Enjoy those dice! and I can't wait to see them on their blogs/videos.

These look fantastic. Can't wait to see some.

I love how your job allows you to do that at work.

I took part of the day off to get these out so a few players can use them in the X-wing regional and a 40k GT this weekend! That pic is actually from the local library where I sequestered myself to do the sorting

Oh, right, that makes sense. I keep forgetting libraries still exist outside of college campuses and the Library of Congress.

Snagged a quick closeup pic!



And some answers!

plastictrees - Yes, the red was intended for "rebel scum"
Vanguard - That is a great idea for a banner, thanks! I may try my hand at tweaking it this weekend, but hadn't gotten to any yet, so I really appreciate it!
Alpharius / Piston Honda - I think purple and orange are a nice pairing . Blue is certainly coming, but may not be in the initial / base goal offerings.
MasterSlowPoke / Dark Severance - Yeah, I personally plan to mix and match cubes halves, I love it but I know it's not for everybody!
Snrub - Anpu-adom has it right, it will launch on Tuesday!
Solar_lion - Thanks, and thank you so much for your help at AdeptiCon

Regarding early birds, I actually have figured out a way to offer them that I personally really enjoyed in the projects I've backed - a "first to ship" tier! It gives folks who have been watching and patiently waiting for launch a bonus for jumping in, but doesn't make the deal worse for anybody who comes after. There will be two early bird tiers at the two "sweet spots", $55 (2 ModCube sets, which with the Kickstarter bonus is 18 cubes!) and $100 (4 ModCube sets, or 36 cubes counting the bonus cubes).

I have no need for these, but (not surprisingly) I want them anyway

especially the orange and grape flavoured ones

I'm not normally big on counters and markers and such, but I am going to buy these once they are released. Excellent product from the looks of it.

great now I need to order twice as many as I'll taste test which flavor I like more....thanks

Excellent colour choices. IMHO anyway.

For your other other choices I'd certainly be interested in a green. But I do play Orks.
Although the black and red ones would go with my black with red BA successors.

But the purple and orange ones are so pretty.

Decisions, decisions....

I'm going to buy them all.

pour them into a Olympic sized swimming pool and dive into it Scrooge McDuck style.

Damn do those look great!!
(want some noooooow! )

How do they fit together compared to the prototypes? Tighter? Smoother?


And the orange is quickly becoming my favorite. Even with the red there, I LOVE the bright orange!

And thanks.


Those cubes look awesome put together in the pixelated flesh. Really nice selection of colours available too.
