Well on the bright side, it's not like this gak is KS exclusive.

I can wait.

The mantas do look pretty good. Is that inspired by something from Dead Space.

There’s probably a few influences in there I can see some of the Pitch Black bioraptors and Star Wars Mynock in the design and yeah some of the Dead Space Infector.

I detect shades of the Prometheus Hammerpede as well.

They've notably slowed down since the last SG, and after looking at the numbers on Kicktraq, maybe it's time for another add-on soon.

The next add-on is up, and it's very . . . creative?



I don't know what to think about this one yet, honestly.

The design is all over the place now, there is no coherency at all throw things at it and see what a sticks.

Rising Sun “in space”



It just doesn’t fit at least it’s only $15

It's different, to say the least. Unexpected. I'd consider something totally out of left field like that to be a plus. Price is reasonable for 6 KSE characters as well.

Painting all those patterns though... man, that's going to be a challenge.

Wow. Rising Sun tie-in!!!

Ha! I finally ninja'd Dave C!

It's taken me years to do it, but victory is sweet!!!

As for the Kabuki Gang, maybe I could use them for a dark future bank heist? Maybe?

Can this possibly get more all over the place in terms of content?
What's next? "Not" Rick and morty?

They'd be great for a Shadowrun gang though, wouldn't they? Or heck, they could give them cards for OG Zombicide even.

Nothing about their weaponry is overtly spacey, just a bit stylized and near future- ish.

I could definitely see using them in Shadowrun, or any modern, near future RPG. Their masks are great! For $15 I am grabbing them.

For $15, I'll make up a use for them. That's the kind of craziness I want in my minis.

I’m not backing, but might tag along for this set. Add in an Oni and maybe have a cool Gang for something else. If I miss out though it won’t be a big loss, still waiting for the MUST HAVE!

Hopefully the $15 for 6 minis continues. For $15 I'll get a set of the Kabuki gang just not for Zc:I use.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since Rising Sun was a thing, but I am. I think I like them. If I were to pledge, I’d probably toss in an extra $15 to have them.

The Risingsun team is actually very reminiscent of the Triad faction from Scotia Grendel/Urban Mammoth's Void and Urban War lines. They definitely were not what I was expecting to see, though.

They were giving me an Urban War vibe too.

The more I think about the various abominations, the more I hope there's a tool for the players to counter them. Obviously a power loader would be the obvious choice, but my hope is we get some sort of battle suits/ landmate type things to go melee with Abominations.

Especially if the numbering of Xenos types means we'll see more species as the campaign progresses.

The Kabuki guys are perfect for some cyberpunk gaming. I'm probably going to have to get them.

Current What you get graphic - it will be interesting to see if the soldier pledge will get any extras to justify the extra $50.

Spoiler:

I really hope the soldier pledge increases in value because I really dig the soldiers. I assume that it will, but I'm getting anxious and tempted to just double down on the civilian pledge.

The kabuki gang doesn't look like the rest of the survivors but for me it's a good thing as I find the rest of the survivors rather ugly.

Agreed - Soldier Level needs more 'value' to justify taking the plunge.

Hard to see CMON mot realizing that and taking the appropriate steps to get more people upgrading.

I am loving the 'good guys' side of things here, but am now wishing that the Xenos had more...time, effort and energy put into them.

But maybe as the 'zombie' analogue here, that wasn't going to happen anyway?

Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to see some more non-humanoid Xenos. The Xenomoth was definitely a step in the right direction. I find it strange that there hasn't been a single quadraped alien yet.

In the Black Plague campaign they added extra value to the Soldier equivalent tier towards the end of the campaign with some stretch goals only applicable to that tier so I would expect to see the same here.

... that was unexpected and all over the place...

For Rising Sun, the Dynasty expansion had its own exclusives like plastic counters so maybe they'll do that too for the Soldier pledge.

A swing and a miss for the next stretch goal:
Emily Blunt wearing half an exosuit:



Her special ability is falling over and herniating discs in her spine.

I love love love that her abdomen looks like the cord of a public pay phone! <3

Her thighs must be made of corded steel, like Colossus.

I rather like it - mini (render) looks better than the art too.
