May 2014 means November which means January 2015 by CMON's last kickstarter...
Those models are pretty sweet though, even if I don't really care for any factions as a whole. Cool to see it funded so fast
Yeah I'll be contributing. I'm willing to go halves on the 5 faction deal if anyone else wants in. If I get in I'll get shael and Nassir for sure and then either Teknes or the octo guys.
One reservation I have is that it states the figures with be made from the same plastic as PP stuff - which I loathe with a passion. I dont think its even plastic, its some kind of vinyl. I have some of there resin stuff and its gorgeous. I wish they would just stick to that!Quote:

I picked up the Shael Han minis they had at Adepticon this year. I bought the pigs the year before. In resin they are gorgeous.Quote:

Wow, I like those Hadross models ... But the plastic totally turns me off.
I got the distinct impression that they were going the WarMachine route - initially skirmish, but want it to ramp up to a larger game.Quote:

So I am going with the 2 faction plus book (for now, who knows what happens when they start posting add-ons). Definitely want Shael-han (is anyone here not?), but can't decide yet between Nasier and Goritsi for the second. But I refuse to ease my indecision pains by getting one of everything (damn you Relic Knight).
I think I'm waiting until the first of the month and going for 5. 2x Shael 1x Nassir, 1x Teknes, 1x Hadross. I think. It all depends on if I can figure out how to use them in a D&D game as well. I may end up going the cheap 2 box route though. 1x shael and then something else.
Well, if you end up going the 5 box route but are just getting 2 Shael to fill up the fifth spot, we could maybe work something out so I don't have to choose between the two I can't decide on. Though they may end up offering the starters as an add-on I guess. I shouldn't even be looking at yet another game, but the Shael minis look so nice. Though maybe I will have more free time by next May.Quote:

To make matters worse they just posted the Add-Ons for the Large models! Great prices too. I am already in for the 2 starter +book deal, and will likely buy all but one of the large models. I can't get a sense for how many you may ever need in a list though - are they uniques, or hero units? Who knows?
I'm on this and so are a few other people in town apparently.
As for the models. I held them at Gencon and they are the exact same plastic Privateer uses. The molds seem to be a bit better designed and there seemed to be fewer mold lines everywhere. But I've learned mold lines never really come out until you start painting something. Also these models have mostly round edges which seem to work better with this kind of plastic. I've generally found the Hordes plastic kits to be more acceptable than the warjacks.
So anyway I'm currently optimistic they'll be better than what Privateer has been throwing at us lately. If not I've gotten used to working with it so I'll deal.
Also the game was really fun and easy to play. Based off of one demo :)
Good to know, Ben. Thanks.Quote:
