I may be crazy, but I thought I read somewhere the "old" races in the new modules (rats and elementals) might be new sculpts. Sounds familiar to anyone else?
I'm hoping a "mini" module for the Cyclops race (like the "Avatar of Shadow" that unlocked at 400K) that includes the commander. If that happens, I'll probably pony up the $20 to round out my Cyclop set from KS1.
I'd like to see this, but with the All-In module pack added. For another $130, you get +90 more miniatures (with cards, tiles, etc..) at this point, with it likely catching yet another module (wishful thinking it would hit 2 more).
You mean like this?
Spoiler:
I thought I saw something once about new Tailless and Elemental sculpts, but I think it was just my imagination- other than the Commanders.
There was mention made of a FREE cyclops module- lite though as a stretch goal. That would probably have a Commander with it.
ALSO- not sure if everyone caught this as it showed up in the KS1 updates, but here's the ticktock boss' full art. Supposedly the guy uses second- hand trickster gear.

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
MEGACON has really fixed a lot of stuff and upped their game this time around!
And other KS which are kinda stalling and having a rough time can't really blame happenstance or the economy or whatever as MYTH is showing people how it is done.
I understand companies want to make money, but consumers want 3 things from a KS:
1. Bang for their buck which gets them products for what retailers get them for, (40%ish off MSRP)
2. New content which wouldn't exist otherwise... People can smell fake stretch goals vs actual stretches
3. Exclusives. That is cool and all wanting to cave to the complainers about no exclusives, but exclusives force the hand of people who might wait until retail, or people who will take a lesser MSRP discount because they get an exclusive.
Super happy how this KS is turning out and I can say other running KS are getting less of my money because of MYTH because I feel this is a stronger buy and is developing content I want to be made VS barley a discount, fake stretches and stuff which can be picked up at retail later.

I'll add that the free mini's i got at adepticon were excellent board game mini's and just pretty good mini's in general. I'm seriously considering throwing in on this one which I wasn't before.

Yes, you just have to have at least the $6 level selected.
any "no reward" pledge like $1,... will not get updates or an invitation to the PM
this really is great for their company as well,..... as much as well all love more SG's,...... I think they really only have serious stuff planned to aroun $900 or $1M,....
and as their history shows us through Recon,... they will open those items and give them as free SG in the PM funding,......
It was pretty awesome to see more minis and a couple of full expansions come our way just by waiting for the people to finish upping their pledges after the KS was over
Automatically Appended Next Post: This is a cool guide for what to get if you "want it all" based on your current level of investment,.....
I guess there are folks that missed the first one and are really ready to drop $800!!! but you don't need all that! Pick and choose the things that you like,.... but this is a cool little guide:
Automatically Appended Next Post: The pledge tally is pretty sweet though,..... right now 149 minis for $120,.... and that is about to jump up by 10 more when the Thieves are unlocked any minute!
Automatically Appended Next Post: The Thieves have been unlocked!! That is 159 minis for the $120 Pedge,..... and 101 more in the "all-in modules" add on!
Here is the module in the add-on section,.... but why buy just the one, when you can have 7 (or maybe 8) for just the price of 4!
If you are adding sculpted lairs,.... you get one for the thieves as well!
New stuff right around the corner,...... add-ons,... new stretch goasls,.... stay tuned!
Automatically Appended Next Post: 4000 Backer goal announced! This get us the only missing commander to go along with the original KS minis,.... Sycline Commander. These are some of the coolest concepts,... instead of the traditional cyclops monster,... these "eyeballs" grow from a plant type of creature,... they then grab onto the head of some unsuspecting creatures,... like an Aliens Facehugger!
Just a few hundred backers to go,..... should be doable in the last two days!

I was hoping that Sycline would be a full module with minis as the first KS only gave 2 Captains and 10 minions. I know I can by a set of Sycline for $20 but a full module would have been covered by the All in modules. A well mustn't grumble too much they have packed a lot in already.

I think that if the Sycline module gets unlocked, you would be able to buy it separately if you didn't wan to go all in. Then again, with the value already at the all-in, it's kind of crazy not to do it.
I have nowhere to put the contents of a $120 pledge, but I do want to get the Journeyman rules and minis. Does anyone know if these will be available separately in the PM?

Supposedly we may see not one but TWO more ultra bosses like this, and if we do, they'd be stretch goals- they're done putting add ons up.
Right?!?!
Sounds like they're pretty confident we'll hit one, and that we might hit another.
I'm expecting a last day explosion like the first one.
I held back on a $6 pledge for a while, but this campaign has run so well, given more bang for the buck than I've seen in a while (possibly since the last Myth campaign), fixed issues on the initial offering, expanded on game mechanics AND teased a new game that will use the minis. Happy to have increased to a better pledge level and I'm hopeful that this project will fix my issue with playing Version 1. Doubt I can stretch to cover the modules at this time but it's very tempting.
From what I have gathered, there will be a full on module included if we get high enough (but not in the PM- RIGHT NOW). A siege scenario with a dragon army attacking the city they've mentioned before.
Dragon Knights, Razorfiendlings, Dragon Singers, and an Ice Dragon to round the group out. For free.
If more people pledge!

I'd like to see an RPG of this game, there is so much potential here that I threw in for a gak, yet again. I really love the aesthetic, and the changes do the game justice, now.
Great work to the Myth crew!!!
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.
I really wasn't going to get this. The original rules were terrible, the models were nice, but the style doesn't really match with other game systems, and most of my stretch goals and stuff for the original are still in a box in plastic bags unopened. But the models are high quality and fun to paint, and 182 models for ~$140 after shipping is a great value IF they don't just sit in a box indefinitely. I did start painting the original stuff though last week, before Pillars of Eternity on the PC grabbed all my attention this weekend. But despite my intentions I jumped in at the last minute and at least I should have a nice collection of figures, and maybe the new rules are playable. Or I will have more junk sitting in my closet unopened..
Same ditto. After the +12 models at 926K, the KS2 $120 pledge is about as good as the KS1 $100 pledge, at the cost per mini, You still have to pay shipping, but if you were at the $6 level (you still have to pay shipping), you at least now have the revised rules and cards as part of your pledge.
MCG also said they will have at least one additional game that you can use these mini's for.

I think they underestimated how many people *WANT* both fluff and direction first time around. If I was in a group with people who want a framework to their own story, Those people would have backed bones and played D&D/Pathfinder.
This time, they have gone a long way to directed play. a solid 15 modules is a lot of content to play through as well as developing some cool universe to play in. I think people may want to play in the Myth universe opposed to framework their own stuff now.
Looking forward to this!

Yes, this shift in focus had huge appeal for me, so given that I've actually had a chance to look at the rules and have seen finished production examples of the models, I felt fairly confident going into this one despite having missed the first Kickstarter.
That said, I do really regret how much stuff you miss/have to play a vast markup for if you weren't in on the first Kickstarter! $15 per deck of 30 cards? Ouch. I was at least able to purchase a set on eBay that completes the full 1/4/20 monster sets for the crawlers and orcs, and gives the extra map tiles/slaughterfield content.
I am seriously impressed with how much stuff they're promising this time, and can only hope they're not making a loss on it through sheer volume!
