I'd go for a vehicle 3 pack similar to that. So I end up with a vehicle for a faction I'm not interested in? Then I trade it off to someone else, put it up on Bartertown/ Ebay, or start looking in to getting some troops for that faction.

Want an easier way to get me to spend money on a faction I wasn't planning to buy originally? Mantic could do what they did with the Asterian and Forge Father starters in Deadzone and with the Steel Warrior freebies in Lockdown pledges in Infestation. Offer a few pieces for free to whet our appetites.

Looks nice but metal...ughhh...

Sadly Mantic are not yet in a position where they can offer and produce HIPS for single character sculpts which is a shame. However, their metal production is done in house with good casts and quality control although the metal can be a bit soft. But I do understand that for some metal is a no-go material, so to each their own.

Overall a great day for the KS, around 25k+ added in 24 hours with the GCPS and Mule funded.

I just realized that $1 gets me the rulebook and sourcebook PDFs. I was going to wait for retail, but I'm definitely in for $1 now. I can decide if I want to add anything else later, during the pledge manager.

A "sampler pack" of one of each of the vehicles is a good idea. Not too difficult to pack, caters to collectors and to people who are on the fence about Warpath and want to see what the various lines are like.

So, this upcoming Corporation metal, it can be added to a $1 pledge?

Just upped to total warfare. May god have mercy on my wallet.

Yeah you should be able to add on anything in the pledge manager. I think she's $8.

Why do you care?

(glances at avatar)

Oh.



Well then, all the other equivalent characters are available as $8 add-ons. I imagine this will be the same.

Nah it's in the update somewhere.

If we hit this goal, we will produce GCPS Major Chard, a new commander miniature exclusive to this Kickstarter.

She will be available to add on for $8, and we will include this exclusive variant of Major Chard free in the GCPS Battlegroup.

You can choose the GCPS Battlegroup:

As your choice of single Battlegroup as part of an Advanced Warfare ($125) pledge.
As any number of the THREE Battlegroups included in the Total Warfare pledge
As any number of the SIX Battlegroups included in the Ultimate Tyrant pledge.

I'm in for a dollar, but it seems like little point as a lot of the pledge levels will be locked out post kickstarter. Shame really. Guess I'll be getting most of what I want at retail.

The only ones locked out will be Ultimate Tyrant and the limited Total Warfare. The rest will be available, including a $250 Total Warfare.

Hardly "a lot".

Yarp. A good bit of the value is in addons like the 3/$40 sets and especially the 20/$20. Don't expect things to hit that cheap at retail, even with 3rd party discount retailers. Probably more than double that until you get into army bundles. Striders are 20/16 or so right now so $13.33 is a bit better, possibly not worth the wait, depends on what else one is getting. The $1 pledge is a very viable alternative to the big stuff, depending on interest. The battlegroups have a lot of value in them, but only if you want everything.

I may drop out to a dollar myself, or simply pick a dollar pledge over my UT. I'm in an odd position compared to most backers as I'm inclined to spend my money up front and figure out what to do with it later, as i may not have it laying around still if I wait for the PM later on.

Yarp?

Anyway, there are almost 700 $1 backers.

I wonder what they're waiting for/need to see before upping?

Just one mini for me, if she's unlocked. I've heard enough about these Mantic deals to not go all in.

As a $1 backer, I'm just in for the updates right now and will add stuff in the pledge manager as money is a bit tighter this month

I have it on good authority that every single one of them is waiting for a one-of-each-vehicle bundle.*

*I'm full of it.

Dollar backer here. I'm waiting on renders of the corp. I'm wary of pledging on sketches in general, no matter the company behind it.

Apologies for the off hand expression of "a lot". The two pledge levels I want, or more accurately two post kickstarter Ultimate Tyrants. No need to get picky on semantics.

One Dollar is all I can spend right now. I hope to have some money for an Asterian battlegroup later and tbh I want to see more of the rules first before committing to Warpath. While also having a Spacemarine army I could use and more games to play with then I will ever have the time. And without the Asterian flyer in HiPs the faction isn't as complete as the others. I wish they would have gone for the Asterian flyer first though I understand their approach.

Could they possibly be waiting on delivery of an existing KS?

I'm in for a buck.

I want to see (at least) renders of the Corps plastics, hope they adjust the Corp dune buggy a bit, and will likely get a few sprues of the plastic 3rd Gen plague critters, and maybe some Corps troops. May add the metal Corp female leader fig. If they can put out a decent draft of Firefight, and I like it, I may add a copy of that too. A 4x4 mat (6x4 is too big for my current place) would be cool.

EDIT: Oh, and as just mentioned, I want to see what my stuff from the last DZ KS looks like.

I would have guessed he means the FF rules. The alpha will be out very soon, RC saw them for the first time last night.

My question was based on the KoW thread where folks are talking about waiting for stuff from that KS.

I'm also in for 1$. I want to see actual pictures of the GCPS stuff before I fork over any real money. I know I won't during the campaign, and I'm ok with that. But I'm not handing money over sight unseen either.

But if you did go all in right now, you personally would unlock that mini!

That's the Corp character locked.
Looks like they decided to go with the Asterian transport next after all.

Then .. the wheels of squeal.. looks like more ratman stuff.. yay :/

The pledge manager.

Man, I love this stuff so far. I know this is probably heresy, but anyone else think Mantic should add a new warpath faction of holy female warriors? Couldn't hurt pledge levels.

There will also be a substantial amount of "why not?" $1 backers who simply want a .pdf copy of the full rulebooks and sourcebooks for $1.

That one is very much a no-brainer in terms of value, especially if you already have 40k armies.
