Looong time reader, this game prompted me to sign up. I think it's absolutely fantastic what you are doing and am more than a little surprised at some of the nitpicking going on.

Thank you for making the Kickstarter last as long as you have, I would have no chance to jump in if it had only been 30 days. And thank you for getting the project to such a completed state before showing it to the world, makes a nice, refreshing change (I will never again back a project based on CG renders - disappointed every time). This Kickstarter is more professionally presented than the vast majority that come from established companies.

The "nitpicking" I've seen is honest criticism, same as any game gets (and should get) here on Dakka... Why would you be surprised?

**Emperors_Champion**

Is it bad (or maybe sad) that I have the day off and other than fix a fence and paint a bit of dropzone.... waiting for this update is pretty much my days plan?

**TP^DC Deputy Manager**

Not sad at all. I'm in work and I'm still regularly checking

**legoburner**

Wont be for at least 5 hours at minimum as there are still quite a few image assets to update

On spaceship and other spinoff games, while they are things we'd love to play with in many years time, our absolute focus is on Maelstrom's Edge at squad-based skirmish / 28mm scale. We dont have the manpower to explore other games without sacrificing quality in our main game so wont be doing so for a long time.

And this is why Medge is likely to end up being a great game with lots of happy KS backers in Dec!

Okay. It's almost 5 hours now.

Now?

How about now?

Listen, soon I will be surrounded by teenagers who all of a sudden want to
pass a class they didn't care about until right before graduation. I need a little
something in my life.

Sad, but true.

Lego, if you feel the need to delay things by, say, 2 hours from now, that
would be great. I will then be free again to gorge my geek upon the sight
of new announcements. I'm hoping for pics, videos are optional unless I'm
actually at home where I can watch them, and rules updates.

**the shrouded lord**

I'm goign to go to sleep now, and whatever's happening that you guys are talking about happening, better have happened by the time I wake up.

**malfred**

Okay I'm here. Any updates?

**Vanguard-13**

None yet, Malfred. We are all waiting for it. Should be soon, with any hope.

**darrkespur**

It's coming - we're just making final adjustments!

**Vanguard-13**

No worries Darrkespur, Enjoy your coffee!

You can't rush perfection. And I hear those Hunters are perfect.

So take all the time you need!

**TP^DC Deputy Manager**

Tum tee tum!

Any time guys.

You know, like soon.

Please?.........

**Grey Templar**

The suspense, its killing us.

That's pretty much what I expected to hear ...

While some part of me is of course sad, I think in the long run it'll be far better for the skirmish game AND any subsequent work you guys decide to do. Best to know your limitations and not try to go TOO nuts pushing them ...

Thanks!

**warboss**

I'm curious if it'll increase the daily totals.

I'm on the fence currently about hunter (like the concept art but need to see at least a render to avoid the conversion issues that happened between the epirian contractor concept art and the minis) and keep checking back every hour.

**malfred**

Hunters on the main page! Not that I'm sitting here jamming my F5 key.

But WOW! The core set just got upgraded something fierce! I think that's going to do a lot for pledges!

JB

Wow, did they just add a bunch of minis to the boxed set?

**MajorTom11**

They sure did

**Blacksails**

Okay, now I'm starting to get excited. Those bots for the Epirians are pretty cool looking, and that is great value. I'm not sold on the Karists, however.

**legoburner**

I told you we had good news!

Here's the hunter in actual HIPS plastic:

Fully modular, fully multipart, three sliding core sprues of crisp detail. Those legs are single parts with slot-in feet - there are no seams on the limbs of this model, despite detail from 4 directions.

And here's what's in the box now:

If you've been sitting on the fence, now's a good time to back us because at some point in the near future we'll give backers early access to a free, professionally recorded audiobook set in the Maelstrom's Edge universe.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Hunters look like the kind of anime robots that are very threatening in Act 1 but blow up like fireworks by Act 3. This pleases me. Hopefully the scarecrows will look a bit more menacing in non-silhouette form.

The silhouette for the angel looks pretty boss, too. I hope it's as monstrous in the plastic.

Add another squad of drones and of Karist troops/angel adults for maximum yield.

**Grey Templar**

Ok, just to clarify.

Everyone at the $90 level is now getting 2 Shadowwalkers, an Angel, 2 Bot Handlers, 2 Scarecrows, and 2 Hunters? Plus the Kadder Nova and the other models as well.

**BobtheInquisitor**

7 large models? I only see 2 hunters and one angel adult.

Yup, and if we hit 45K a full sprue of terrain too!

Awesome. Might want to update the $90 level description then

It is updated in the main text, but kickstarter does not allow you to change a pledge description once it has a backer, so we'd have to get all 262 backers to stop backing to update that text on the right hand side / pledge selection :S

**Grey Templar**

Fair enough. That's a bit odd but I can see why that might be the case.
