Unlocking speaking.... Why 1 avatar if unlocked for the Elves of the Void, 2 for the Lust Elves and non for the Sisters?

We don't even have the level and the last picture....

Saving them for last I suppose.

Those burning pyramids coming out the backpacks - those are the latest generation of Bose speakers for the suit's inbuilt MP3 players. And once you have the funk blasting, no piddly suit of armour's going to stop you from boogying on down.

I like the terminator sisters and I will pledge if/when they are unlocked. When is the last day for pledging btw?

I'm interested in this KS, but not interested in following any of the details via their page or updates since they seem to be an absolute clusterfeth of scratchy concept art, and a ridiculously confusing number of stretch goals that appear to make no sense.

I think I can drag myself from my ennui long enough to crunch some numbers.

Also, for those worried about things not getting unlocked, it's worth pointing out that in the first campaign, as we neared the end, they simply unlocked items without them being associated with specific stretch goals. Though they then did have a big splash at the end. I'm not sure I foresee this particular campaign having the explosive finale (though time will tell), as there are a lot of factors that go into that, not all of which apply to a second campaign.

They've spent too much money (wink) on that concept art for it to have to wait three years to be used. Because at that point a Chinese factory might simply steal the concept and churn them out cheap. (That statement makes sense in my head, I might have to deconstruct it though)

Raging Heroes have a really hard time making credible running poses. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. You don't want to sculpt a real running pose either, because they look like gak. After every race, they offer to sell you pictures of you during the race... they all look horrible. It took me 8 years to find one I was sorta looking ok on.

Update 13 is up

Sister's Mascots


Two for one on the freebies today, though personally I'm not fond of either of them.

Also talk about a new pledge level coming Monday, with more EB slots. Expect it to cost quite a bit as it's going on the top end of the current pledge levels.

There's also talk about addons coming later today, in another update. So I'd expect more hand poured resin options, and maybe some larger scale figures, as we saw last campaign.

Quite useless freebies. But it was a certainty that the mascots would be parts of the freebies.

Yeah still got the other mascots to come as well, I'll just ignore them probably like I did the last ones.

I mean as useless as they are, I can see using the rabbit thing in an RPG like this:

You heartless bunch!

Tobias is top of the list for an extra order from the freebies assuming they allow that again. On account of it looking shockingly like our little house bunny (minus the horns and wings obviously), which means it will inevitably get stolen by she who must be obeyed and I want one too.

Vlad can sit in the 'will probably never be painted' box along with the ugly bulldog from the first one.

Eh. Freebies are freebies. If they were meant to entice, I feel some of them are off the mark, but most of the pledgers were already way above Lt pledges, so I doubt very much that was the crux of their pledging.

I'm still undecided.

They will retail for $25 apiece, it explains the freebie bump in "value", derp.

Exactly!

Most 'dynamic' poses end up looking like garbage...

I hope they tone down some of those Knight poses!

Because Dynamic is Dynamic. Even when you might have thought it's silly, it's Dynamic?

More of a concern is that the only two troops shown are the same sketch, but one has a helmet and the other a bare head.

I just realized that in French, the Templar heroine's name can loosely be translated as "Who is she useful to?" which can also be a sexual innuendo.

Yeah, the freebies the first time around were pretty sweet, but so far these have all been pretty lackluster.

And, at the other extreme, we have Completely Not Dynamic:


Hopefully the final sculpt will be somewhere in the middle.

I disagree completely, the ones this campaign have been far better imo. Last campaign had some good ones but a lot of tank operators and lulus and stuff that were a bit pants, all these look good apart from the mascots imo.

I prefer a static pose like Belial's to one that looks almost impossible given the armour being worn. As for the freebies - it's honestly hard to tell because the concept art is so scratchy. Much scratchier than last time, or so it seems to be at least. I think they had more renders last time as well. Given how good the Incubi look, I'm hoping that these ones will look good in the end.

I'll use Sephea and Ardana, but I'm going to trade the rest away so far.

If you want to offload the Sisters ones, sned me a PM, I'll pay for the shipping.

Except for the mascots. Feth those.

Liking the sisters designs not digging the mascots

We now know that the KotC command group unlocks at 640,000$ So I'm assuming an extra 100K will get us near the troopers.

Which one do you mean?

They are basically guaranteed to be unlocked now, only $14k to go for them. Kickstarter ends on Wed, Apr 8 at 5:59 PM EDT.

Next set of stretch goals posted. Terminators command unlock at $640,00, Knight Command at $680,000.

Ela Seraqui. Elle, a sert à qui?

That's interesting. Surprised they didn't name a Iron Empire necromancer Le Petite Mort or something then.

Finally my seekers of slaanesh, I mean Vestal riders are in sight!

Well. I'm getting what I want out of this KS, for a little more money then I wanted by a few bucks. Daughters and Knights, and I'll probably grab a heroine or two at the pledge manager...
