Im hoping that we can build psykers and fanatic priests out of this.

[Edit] we just got confirmation that the Vehicle will fulfill multiple roles.

I can certainly pass that along.

What alternate heads and arms would you like to see in the command frame. As stated, we are also looking at including a brute leader on the sprue.

Psyker, probably the old one that holds his heads and is probably suffering the migraine of his livetime.

A thousand times, yes! This head & arms combo are so useful and not nearly common enough to find (especially modular and in plastic).

One holds a book or relic of some kind, an outstretched hand of energy, a couple of different screaming heads, maybe parts for an Exocutioner. Burning torches or brands.

How about a set of arms and torso ripping his own chest open to let demons through?

Certainly a gory suggestion! We'll get that passed up the chain, along with migraine energy wielders.

No guarantees, of course, but I'll make sure your ideas get passed to the team.

This may sound weird, but a set of crossed arms? It's a common pose for real life humans but not minis.

And it can work for a commander standing confidently, or with some greenstuff be part of restraints holding a psyker, etc.

NotComissar looks great but his power fist. Too big, cumbersome, more orky than human built.

While I know it's probably Outrider teaser day, I'm hoping we at least find out what the Hounds are.

The crossed arms are a good idea but it would likely have to be as an integrated torso.

Doggos are the only acceptable option

While I agree with you, WGA has been really quiet about them but I believe they said that all the kits would work together except for the Brutes. That's what makes me curious.

Hopefully they simply forgot to mention Hounds there because they are not humanoid.

About $33 per set higher levels a bit less ($31) - as an add on $35 (MSRP $40)

Slightly disappointed that they're significantly more expensive than the other Death Fields kits. I'd have expected them to be slightly cheaper through the crowdfunder if anything.

Knowing that international shipping limit is on 150 euros I'm going to have to be careful with the buys, as I want some of the packs on the first half, but I'm most interested on the second half (I need horsies). Also, is it me, or have Outriders changed at last hour from the first half of units to the objectives?

Edit: Seeing the add-on, what does the multipliers (e.j. here a x4) stand for?

I remember them listed in the set of 8 but then they broke it up into 4 and 4. I still don't know why they teased the cav with the first batch then.

Spoiler:

While some of the crowdfunding campaigns have ridiculous levels of discounts that aren't sustainable, the prices in this campaign don't seem to be any better than the multi box deals that usually have on their website (even if you consider the free sprues unlocked by the stretch goals).

Unless the stretch goals are numerous and achieved quickly I don't think it should be better than getting them once these hit retail in X years from now. At least then you will know exactly what is contained in each box and be able to determine whether or not you like the options.

Other then getting them early and potentially influence some of the design decisions I don't see what are the main motivators that they are using to attract customers.

I am also a little disappointed in the listed prices... The 10 box deal for Death fields sets is $265... As this is crowd funding I was expecting a better price on that... The 10 box "deal" on the crowd funding is $310... So a $45 Price to make up for any stretch goal freebies I guess...

At least the 3 box deal is only $4 more expensive through the crowd funding...

I hope they give an option for broke folks like me. If I can afford even 2 boxes, it would be doing good. I really will only be getting a few as so many bills right now.

Was gonna do a 10 box thing... but may just get a box of ogres and command...

Yeah unfortunately I'm with the above commenters, I have been spoiled by Archon Studios basically chucking free plastic at me, but even ignoring that: steathily increasing the MSRP per box, and only offering a modest discount doesn't sell me on a pre-order. We can all get 20-25% off from our favorite third party retailers with free shipping once these hit retail. A couple free sample sprues isn't really enough of an incentive to make me part with my money far in advance.

I mean part of the incentive is getting all the kits at once rather than waiting successive production cycles to get infantry, then heavy weapons, then command, etc.

Still I wouldn't mind a bit better deal on the bundles.

Assuming this mirrors other campaigns, I'd guess we'll see some sweeteners as it goes on. I'm very excited about this, but projecting how excited I'll be about not-guard in 11 months (at best) is tricky. If I'm saving 10% to lock up a few hundred bucks for a year... that's probably a pass, unfortunately.

but we'll see. Make the pot a little sweeter, and I'm very much back in.

...is that supposed to be a Blood Bowl referee ordering someone off field?

I'd love a bigger discount (fingers crossed), although stretch goal bonuses may hopefully add up enough to make it unnecessary

but it's worth pointing out that WGA multi box deals have (at least as far as i remember) always been for 3/5/10 of the same box, rather than mixing and matching

I must say, I think the "delivery on May 2024" is speculative/an autofill by Gamefound program? I don't think it'll take that long for the shipments to arrive
