Yes, these are the "tanks"...

who thought these aliens were ok to go by, especially when they had that :mother in law" design in store.

"My Dad is your boss, so you have to do as I say! Now make his scrote even bigger!"

The Seeker Workers aren't bad looking. I'm still liking the humans more than the aliens.

Those comments though. Yeesh. These people have poor taste in what cameos they want to see.

It’s a CMON comment section. Only Mantic comment sections approach them in terms of nonsensical bandwagoning and drowning actual interesting dialogue in a sea of “+1” and “we need a [blank]!”.

Is there a space unicorn yet?

I would love to see the crew of The Betty. And as much as I love Firefly, I hope none of the characters show up here.

The "zombie" designs aren't my favorite but I don't hate them either. I do like all of the survivors so far though.

A bunch more goals unlocked since the last update in here










with a prawn up next

This is the best Starfinder campaign ever.

why the aliens do not look like this?


Also the bonus models make the original models look even more out of place, the aesthetic would have benefited more from the original design team.

It's definitely a solid way to get a ton of useful miniatures. I'm considering converting the aliens to be Chaos Daemons of some sort... probably Slaanesh. They'd be framed as Chaos influenced T'au and would have small bits of Tau armor, here and there.

Wow, the not-Deckard, not-Entity, not-Morpheus and all the other nots are really dumb. Like, the worst kind of pandering homage. Ripped straight from the pages of some nerd's 8th-grade sketchbook, with writing style to match

Rhea is pretty awesome. I wish it was easier to get single zombicide figures.

...and it's really dumb. It's not a cool sweet great idea cmon, it's really fething slowed.

The alien survivors look nice. But the weapons man, who designed this weapons? They look like first cosplay attempts at weapons, but not like the real deal. Look at Harrison Fords gun. Pathetic.

As for trash cameos, this one https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b3/66/dd/b366ddc1b682f8f3fa32d8295d5487e4--sci-fi-tv-tv-series.jpg would be my first pick.

I thought we all just said we liked them for the articles.


But if they pander to my mohawked Johnny 5 needs, I'm in.

I mean, I don't fault CMON for being in the money-making business. This Kickstarter panders to the lowest common denominator of Big Bang Theory nerds - the largest possible consumer sample of edgy-board-game-but-not-mainstream-Settlers, so I'm sure they'll make a pile of dollars on HEY LOOK IT'S KINDASORTA MARTY MCFLY. Their marketing and design is so exceptional that they've managed to polish a turd into a million dollars. It's brilliant!

Los Locos kick your ass!
Los Locos kick your face!
Los Locos kick your balls into outer spaaaace!

That would really be glorious!

Some comparisons

Invader


Green Horde


Black Plague


Massive Darkness


Day 1 as only around 2/3rds of Green Horde but only slightly behind Black Plague and ahead of Massive Darkness so probably tracking in the $3.5 to $4 million range

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. Trying to estimate total amount of stretch goals lol... People were talking about GH killing it compared to Invader.

You know... pop culture is so called because it's popular. If you don't like it, don't buy it. You're coming off as a bit of an elitist snob. The whole point of these freebies is that they're very tongue in cheek call outs to various bits of pop culture. I dig it, but I also realize that some people will instead choose to rail against it.

Agree here. Think lots of people like Adrian Smith designed space-marine-ish/Warhammer-ish minis and view the stretch goal pop culture referenced figures as a bonus. I planned to pledge when I found out Smith designed the characters. They look like inquisitor/space marine/imperial guard/SOB archetypes.

I'm backing mostly for the heroes. Like you said, there's a lot of potential mileage there for all sorts of SF or post apoc games.

Looking forward to seeing some more machines. We need a not- dreadnought at some point. Really curious what kinds of add on expansions they cook up.

Unfortunately Lexx is too obscure for a CMoN cameo these days. They're now entirely based on blockbuster franchises no matter how vaguely related to the theme of the game (Morpheus, really?) or whatever random garbage emerges from the cesspool of the comments page.

So far this is still looking like the first Zombicide KS I skip, and I was genuinely looking forward to their take on a sci-fi version.

A not-dreadnought with treads and a Mohawk?

The aliens are what will put me over the edge. The homage minis have all seemed kind of lifeless so far, but the variety of aliens is inspiring hope.

PS: Did you get my message about the HATE add on? I want to be sure to get your money to you before the tax man cometh.

Agreed !
And for more than Core Space; Starfinder and Star Wars RPGs, Imperial Assault, Firefly Adventures ...

Core set aliens aside, I'm tempted by what I've seen of the other miniatures only as a way to get more sci fi minis. If the pot gets sweeter with more stretch goals and add-ons that appeal to me I might pledge.
I'd love to see more of the recent style alien creatures like Mother-in-Law.

I'm waiting for not-Leeloo from Fifth Element, not-Samus from Metroid and not-Hudson from Aliens to appear. That said, I've already backed it. It'll be interesting to see what add-ons will be included.

I do not get the stretch goals revealed, too many misses bundled together, not the sci fi homages I was hoping, maybe, seems they draw inspiration from post apocalyptic than space sci fi.

The first two survivor aliens had me hoping....

Several of the stretch goal miniatures are based around the game designers / workers. Eightball for instance is based on Thiago and Gavin is Paul Bonner.

Not sure if this next one if meant to be someone famous or another designer -
