This "Rest of World: $100-$150" shipping cost is basically a huge deterrent for me.

I saw that too. Am i correct in assuming this means they have no asian / row shipping hubs? And everything will be shipped from the US?

I dont expect them to eat shipping costs for my benefit buuuuuut thats a lot of money. Not sure i can get on board with that level of buy-in.

Interesting - I understand that there was an Australian distributon hub for the first edition game, yet they're still quoting that much with "RoW" rates?

Hm. That is pretty ugly. There is an import service for foreign foods/goods here, and they have a reshipping service. I wonder if that might be a cheaper way to go about it...

What sort of shipping are they charging on the $6 revised rule set, I wonder?

Looks like the are leaning towards passing on actual costs,.... So you could imagine at least another 5-6 $

One important piece of info: that 2.0 printed stuff is planned to be ready in Sept. And even backers at other levels can choose to get that early without having to wait on the other things,..... If willing to pay the extra shipping of course.

Also,... Based on some comments, it sounds like the rest of the hero basic journeyman hero sculpts will be in the next few steps of stretch goals,.... And then on to the next new monster type and module at $300k

$270 apprentice or archer path
$285 apprentice or archer path
$300 new minions with module reveal/unlock

So many updates, can't post them all! Check them out,.... First info on the Soldier split classes,.. Many different new mechanics!

Just now they released the 3000 backers stretch goal (still a ways off). It is a great concept that many suggested in the last campaign!

At 3k backers, SG eligible backers get the Monk. I've wanted to do this Hero for a while. Time was right. The Monk is the novice rank. Like the other special Heroes there is only one path (for now...these thing can always change in the future). We are mocking up this and the next couple SG for revealing. couldn't wait as this requires a special write up anyway.

She begin her life as a novice Monk. Learning the stances of forms of a beginner. In her wandering years, as a Sifu, she begins to experiment and realizes that in real martial arts there is harmony and flow. That it more spiritual then combative. Finally, she comes to the understanding the gentle way flows through everything and so spends her time fishing. Her deck is a series of small decks with some crossover. There are stances that are ongoing. While in a stance, she can use abilities with that stance keyword.

Stances

Novice: Tiger Fist, Iron Shirt, Plum Blossom
Journeyman: Six Harmonies, Drunken Fist
Master: Boundless Fist
So for instance: In Tiger Fist, she can use Tiger Fist ability cards. As you might imagine, these tend to be direct attacks. While the Plum Blossom stance, is a more redirect, chi focused attacks. As she moves into Journeyman she adds two more stances, but many of the early abilities can be still be used as the newer stances are more open. Until finally, at Master she understand that there are no stances.

Really liking how the figures show their progress. Makes me want to see what else they have planned.

I love the hero progressions... I wish more model companies did similar concepts.

I doubt they will get progressions for both male and female sculpts, but if they did, it would be very nice on the mini collector side. I would buy 4 packs like that art in a second.

Too bad I have no faith in the rules... but the minis look good.

It gives me fond memories of old Ral Partha 3 packs I used to get, that were supposed to show character progression through their jobs. I know I had a paladin type, and a chaos knight I believe.

We will be seeing the alt heroes, one way or another. It was mentioned they'd all come as one stretch if I remember correctly.

Whether they end up getting light and dark versions, or just a generic neutral sculpt is hard to say. Would be really cool to get both paths though.

5 core Heroes x 2 genders
2 Add-on Heroes x 2 genders
1 Spriggan

That is 30 potential figures to represent light/dark for every class which exists in every gender which exists.

Not impossible...

Considering Myth reached 926k and Recon 816k, that is definitely enough pledge goals!

I just wish we could blaze through the classes so we can see what the next stretch goal is.

In the just-posted graphic detailing the contents of both new boxes, I see that each comes with a set of item cards. Do you think these will be the same in both sets, or will there be a total of 30 new items?

Those are totally different items,.... But their breakdown of colors is the same. They are designed to be used apart or together.

They also revealed that each box has a mini boss as well. That serpent/shark lady looks really awesome!

check out that mini boss in the Shores of Kanis!

I'm not too fired up about slime blobs,..... but there is so much more to come,..... it's not even 36 hours in yet!

That ain't all that got revealed. Get with it guys!



SLIMES!

And access to a slime module! With even more slimes most likely!

That apprentice JM art is so Bada$$

I'm really happy with the direction that they are going.

Lots of exclusive stuff from the first KS have been added to the add ons,.... as well as some that might still make it to retail:

- Both gender options of acrylic Brigand
- Spriggan Hero
- Skald Hero
- Trickster Hero
- Razorfiend and Keesi & Og Mini-Bosses

I'm liking the Weaver's design a bit more than the Elementalist (if the Weaver is the one with the hood).

The brigand stuff is alright. I'm spoiled painting all my Skaven heroes lately, so they just aren't as impressive as Snikch, Queek, and Ikkit.

Maybe they'll really knock my socks off when the Brigands hit legend status.

$270 breached,..... Ranger/Duelist unlocked!

Is there any talk about the alt gender versions of these?

I am so torn, I love every model concept they produce and really like the models I got from the previous KS.

I just can't seem to get behind the rules... We tried to do a V2.0 rulebook game, and it was still kinda wonky and pretty much not fun. Maybe we are doing it wrong.

Here is hoping for all 9 classes in both genders in novice/Light/dark!

Can someone ask them why the ROW-Australia shipping is so huge - in the ballpark of paying for them to ship it from the US via USPS when they had a local AU distributor for MYTH-1?

You can ask them via the Kickstater system too - it might get you faster/better results...

I'm not pledged. Don't you need to pledge to message them?

No as far as I know.

As much as this games first KS was a kick in the low hanging fruit, its not a bad game.

I've been mucking around with Monster party rules. They REALLY need to delve into the material they have and start looking at what they have here. If they do it right, your looking at a game pretty on par with Battlemasters, and its quite a handful. They are a bit rough on the preparation for these KS, and the logistics has them by the balls. ( Much to say about most of these up and coming second comings of GW.)

On the whole, I have to say GREAT JOB on your perseverance, MYTH crew. I busted your balls hard in the beginning of the first KS, but you cats really delivbered a hell of a product, and even if there are a few out there butthurt, I'm not one of them. I'm very happy with the figures, the style, and the game as a whole, ( other then you putting together a monster crew, and letting people play the baddies as characters.)

Games a good one, throw some green at them!!!!!

Just use the "Contact me" link right under the MERCS Miniatures name on the MYTH Journeyman KS homepage...and let us know what you find out!

Has Recon shipped?

Not yet.

They've been doing daily photoshoots of all the models for every faction these last few days though.

They have not listed any particular ROW country issues,.... But I'd guess that they ended up losing lots of money on those orders,.... Perhaps there are additional issues for importing to countries,... Or the volume of orders to other countries outside the EU does not justify the time and expense of setting up those relationships.

I'd say it's all about business and $$$
