The pledge manager is now live at https://www.maelstromsedge.com . Go there, and if you are not already registered, sign up using the same email address that you use for kickstarter. On your profile page, you'll then have access to the pledge manager, which you can also access directly with this link.

We will put out a kickstarter update about this in the next few hours, but wanted to give priority to people in this forum just to iron out any wrinkles and make sure the process is simple and clear.

If you are not a kickstarter backer, you can order terrain sprues, box sets and anything else now at the same link too.

Terrain sprues and printed novels will be shipped out either in the last week of this month or the first week of November. Everything else should be going out in December still (likely mid-late Dec), provided our boatload of models does not get held up in customs for too long. If it gets held up, we'll certainly have all the orders sent out in January save for circumstances of force majeure.

There are a few minor glitches we are working on in the background, so please read the below:
- The pledge manager will send out emails when your products are in picking/packing, and also emails when they are shipped. There are couple of glitches in the mailout software right now so sometimes double emails are sent, and sometimes no emails are sent. Your order status on your profile page on the maelstrom's edge website will always be accurate though - any glitches are just linked to email notifications.

- on iOS devices and some android browsers, when you 'click to pay', you'll need to click twice - the button will change to inform you of this. This is because we lock the order in place, then start the payment process, but starting the payment process is blocked by iOS' popup blocker due to that slight delay between functions. On all other devices, you only need to click once to get through the process.

- If you have pledged for $1, we've set the value of that pledge to be worth $0 on our system, so you wont lose out on that dollar, and can spend it on addons too.

- Next week, we'll send out images of the unit profile cards so you can start building lists and getting any extra models around those lists.

- The VIP status reward is priced in to everything except the printed novels and digital products (as backers get them anyway), and is active for anyone who pre-orders as a thank you for early support. If for some reason we drop prices in the future, we'll recredit any difference to you at that time.

- We use the same payment provider as kickstarter, so if your card works there, it will work on our site.

- We have a minimum of $1 for transactions through our credit card provider - please make sure anything extra on your order comes to either $0 (or less), or is over $1.

- In the event of any unforeseen errors, the 'processing payment' text will stay visible after you've been given the reason for the error (invalid card details, etc). Simply go back to your user profile page at that time and you can re-pay there if you have card issues.

- We will be offering email support during allocated support slots each evening (UK time) this week, so please allow 24 hours for a response to any queries. Rest assured your card will not be charged in the event of any errors of any sort.

Shipping Prices

As promised, we were able to keep shipping prices at or below $20 globally for KS rewards and unique box set purchases. We have 4 shipping regions:
UK - $14.50 (GBP 9.39)
European Union - $18.10 (EUR 15.95)
USA and Canada - $19.20
Rest of World - $20

All prices are in US dollars for ease of accounting on our end. We'll be pricing in GBP and USD when we go to retail next year. Your credit card provider will handle the currency conversion automatically if you order anything extra.

Final Model Previews

The pledge manager contains small images of the very early test models for the Kaddar Nova, Epirian Handler and Karist Shadow Walker. We wont put up bigger pictures of these models just yet as the models in those images are made from the very first test sprues we had, so suffer from misaligned tools, shrinkage and other issues which will not be in the final retail models that you'll be getting. We should have final pictures of these models in the next 2 weeks and we'll share them in big, fully painted glory then. We have put up the sprue photos for these models, though again they are pre-retail versions and are lacking labels and other bits of final polishing which will be on the final versions of the sprues. We put those images up just so that you are not buying something unknown, and you can rest assured that the end models will be even better

Just done mine! Added a couple more terrain sprues while I was there!

Looking forward to cracking on!

Are the late adds at KS prices and conditions? I was asking in a few months back about a late add as I had no monies spare during the pledging campaign.

Yes Orlanth, they are at KS prices and conditions except the box sets do not include the KS bonus Angel, and they do not include the audiobooks and the one novel that was a stretch goal (so that our backers are rewarded for having faith in us earlier).

Other than the initial billing by Kickstarter, when will we be billed for any add-ons, and shipping?

The billing for add-ons and shipping occurs when you fill out the pledge manager as we'll be shipping some of those add-ons out very soon - they are in our warehouse ready to pack and ship.

OK. Thanks. I want to add-on however funds are limited at the moment. How long do we have to fill out the manager?

Very cool! Much Excite! Registering now...

The pledge upgrade can only be done when you finalise your pledge, but you can do additional add-ons all the way up to the week of shipping (some time in December on the current schedule). Thanks!

That's a nice buffer. It should be easy to hide some additional MEdge purchases among the flurry of orders that naturally occurs in any US household in late November...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I bought the novels and paid for shipping. I'll get the robots in November. Also waiting to find out whether or not I will need another hunter...

Need, possibly not. But want, yes. They're nice models.

Well I just upped from my 1x +5 terrain to a 2x pledge. Battle Systems post apocalyptic just satisfied too many of my terrain needs to pass that one up.
The good news for me is I now get 2x of everything from this!

Logging into the PM I can't help but notice this text under the base pledge section:

You are not a kickstarter backer so have no base pledge. This means that while some of the original backer options are no longer available, the add-on pledges are available and we welcome your support by accepting pre-orders which will be delivered at the same time as our kickstarter backers.

I am a backer. Is there anything I should be doing to correct that?

That text only appears when there is a mismatch between the email address you used on Kickstarter and the email you signed up to maelstromsedge.com with. Could you double check it is the same, and if you still have a problem after that, email the merge support email address and you'll get direct support from there. Thanks!

Logging out and logging in again seems to have fixed the problem. Not sure why that would be needed but there we go.

Well, yes. But how many I need or want depends on how many I am already receiving. We won't know how many hunters to expect until we know whether or not MEdge will meet its deadline. I suspect they will, but if money becomes tight in November I might hold out for wishful thinking.

Besides, I need more scarecrows at the moment.

....so i have to ask...is there going to be a different leg set eventually....the whole assless chaps thing is kinda...well id rather not model those guys in all black leather with whips and chains and well you get where im going with this...

'Redundant' is the word I think you're looking for.

All chaps are 'assless'... It's pretty much what makes them chaps, as opposed to trousers.

well id rather not model those guys in all black leather with whips and chains and well you get where im going with this...

Nope, no idea where you're going with that. If you don't want to model them like that, then don't. It's certainly not inherent in the models. They're loosely influenced by the wild west, not by Police Academy.

thanks for clearing that up so how about an answer? will there be alternative legs?

I wouldn't expect so. They're a new company, launching an entire range in plastic. Alternate parts are going to be a fair way down the priority list.

yeah,
Completed the pledge manager for ArbitorIan and Mine
We are splitting two boxes. I'm getting all the contractor stuff

Added a few sprues to fill out round off our squad sizes.
I have a feeling like I should have added a few more Scarecrows because they are so bloody cool!

Panic...

Hi, the digital rulebook's description says "(...) rulebook will be available in digital form by November 2016." - that a typo, right?

oops yup, thanks for that! It will be this November!

Done and done.

Any news on the stat card front to help with decision making when adding extras?

Yup, it is coming tomorrow

I'm all pledged up. Got a few extra of those fancy terrain sprues. Very excited to get my hands on the game!

Here's a quick link to the army cards. We'll be doing a kickstarter update soon but wanted to get a few eyeballs on it in case we made any errors or need to provide more explanation:
https://www.maelstromsedge.com/53/mdqeiphiikbxzlkj/

Is the Karist Mature Angel supposed to be a core troop? minnows I can understand but mature angels?

edit:

rules PDF lists it as anvil, the icon on the cards shows core. do I get a cookie for spotting the error?

Nice cards!

Just noticed the Scarecrow can be a Hq... very cool!

One off topic point, I'm not a regular on facebook but I've just checked your page as I wanted to link some friends to it but notice it hasn't been updated for a while. Might be worth throwing something up!

Anyways, when I get chance I'm going to have a play with some army lists!
