Getting more and more tempted by those mosaic tiles, but what to put on them, that is the question

I could imagine quite a few things... harlequins, renaissance types, courtesans, rogue trader'ish vibe... Even had some people talking about Slaanesh and Tzeentch types in other places. I think models with large blocks of cloth, and models with high contrast themes based around black would do particularly well (personal opinion obviously). It is an 'out there' theme in terms of it being quite different than what you usually see, but in this case, that would be the point. It certainly makes for a striking squad or army, for similar reasons - being off the beaten path

One thing to remember with shipping is that these are VERY LIGHT -- effectively the weight of a blank plastic base. We're working to get the best USPS and UPS rates for everyone, but as MajorTom11 said our situation in the EU is in flux as our distribution points are in Nottingham, England, which doesn't do us as much good as it used to.

Actual shipping weights will be applied to each product, and only actual shipping costs will be charged -- there will be no handling fee.

One day to go... maybe a good time to announce another big partnership??? Yes, I think so -

Well, we launch in sixteen hours and we're as ready as any Kickstarter can be.

Thank you all again for your enthusiasm, and feedback, as we prepared the campaign... launched it... and now relaunch it.

Keep your hands, firearms, and tactical gear inside the vehicle at all times... this is going to be one heck of a ride!

Looking forward to it, best of luck!

That is a great partnership!! Would really make those mass zombies look a lot better

Can't wait to jump in, thanks for all the updates here!

Yeah it ain't too shabby!

A vote of confidence from CMON and Corvus Belli is such a great thing for us to have, not only for access to their themes but also to tell you guys this is indeed a solid product as promised.

Not long now, not long at all -

Are there early bird pledges?

In a way, earlier pledges are slotted for earlier delivery. There will be shipping waves so the earlier you get on, the better. Price wise, we are giving everyone an amazing price, no exceptions, we want it to be a no-brainer

I am just missing it, or is the only way to see the pricing to back the project?

Pledged

So you pledge $1 and then increase it based on the stuff you want? I was expecting something more like a bundled pack of bases of all different sizes, the separate stuff as add-ons. I think that would have been easier, some folks might just pledge the $1 and forget. I'm in for the town square but will change to urban streets if they get unlocked

No I'm missing it too, I guess it may be behind the pledge calculator link but I think it would be better to make your prices clear on the main page itself.
Also do you have any international shipping hubs or is everything being sent from USA?

Any possibility of getting a bundle for basing Infinity: Defiance?

Its really stupid that I can't just see how much this costs.

This set-up is a little confusing. So, you must pledge at least $1 to get in, and then you go to the PM, where you pick what you actually want (which I like, btw).

If your stuff adds up to $100, do you then pledge $1, or pledge $100? I assume the latter but this was not super clear.

Does it even matter if you only pledge $1, if you can then add more stuff later when the campaign ends? It looks like you can up however much you want up to 30 days after it ends. If that's the case, it sort of disincentives people from pledging at all past $1 right now - you're going to want to see all the bases unlocked, but it's going to be very hard to unlock additional bases if people are only pledging $1.


(Also, edit: nm, this question is answered already, just saw it)

Meh, this stuff is more expensive than I thought it would be. I was hoping they would be cheaper than 1.00 per for the 32's but it comes out to 1.33 per.

We're working on a graphic now to show the size/quantity/price information. Apologies for not including it on launch, and thank you for your patience.

We're adding a graphic now to show all size/quantity/price info on the main page -- but I didn't want to offer bundles because it ties people into things they DON'T want, which is one of my chief frustrations with Kickstarter campaigns. This way you pledge for the sizes/themes/quantities you want, and bring that number back. You get EXACTLY what you want -- more or less

They seem to be doing the pledgemanager like reaper bones does running concurrently with the kickstarter to work out your pledge and shipping with your details built in

I can't wait for $25K to unlock the Infinity designs, wish it was earlier than that because the way the pledging is set up I'm not going to really contribute much until they do unlock, and only AFTER they've been unlocked will my pledge actually contribute towards unlocking somehting else :/

I guess I can pledge for stuff I don't want and change it when it does unlock, but it still feels like a weird setup. Will be great once it does hit though, and I can get exactly what I want in the exact amounts I want them.

I fully own leaving these important graphics off of the launch list. They're mentioned in the rewards, but... well, they're here now. Better pricing than resin bases, and ready to go!

It does tell you. There is a diagram halfway down the campaign that has a full list of the cost of each package of bases.

Yea...that wasn't there earlier.

@Flinty -- those graphics are a late addition which I totally forgot to put on the pre-launch checklist. They're mentioned in the rewards, but... 100% my derp.

All corrected now

I also am very fond of the ala carte approach.

OMG thank you! One of the things I hate about Kickstarter is being saddled with things I don't want.

I want people to order EXACTLY what they want, bring that value back to KS, and keep it rolling. No bundles required.

Yeah, we basically want you to choose only what you want, not chuck in add-in's you don't necessarily want or need - The system is based on Reaper's pledge manager, so if you went in on Bones, then you know what to expect.

I am updating the info on the KS, planning to re-message along these lines

How Pledge and get your total:

Pledge 1$ in the Kickstarter for access to the Pledge Manager

In the Pledge Manager, choose what you want and create your own bundle!

Return to update your KS pledge total with the same amount from the Pledge Manager WITHOUT the shipping to unlock more stretch goals!

Do you guys think this is clear enough?

It makes sense when you read it, and I do also LOVE the a-la-carte approach as well, but it's not blazingly obvious and I think because it's not utterly completely obvious that it works against the campaign.

I've seen other campaigns that primarily use pledgemanagers have pledges with set amounts that directly become credit in the PM. If it's an option with how your PM is set up then having pledge levels available for say $20, $50, $100, $150 etc that is a bit more intuitive for people, especially coupled with the updated generic pricing graphic now on the main page. Having the generic levels of credit lets people pledge now knowing they can finalize exactly what they want later

This is exactly the thing I always wanted and the pricing looks great. I'll drop $200-$300 easily on this.

Having said that, this is the most confusing kickstarter I've seen since my only incentive is to pledge $1 to get access to the pledge manager. I want designs that are in stretch goals but if they aren't made available, then I don't want to risk my funds if they are not unlocked.

If 2000 people pledge just $1 then we are not unlocking anything. There probably should be no stretch goals if this is being used as just a pre-ordering system. If this is going to be a la carte, just show us the products available to purchase so I can make an informed decision. Otherwise I'll just pledge $1 and see what's available later.
