Marauders are pretty much a certainty at this point. I'm sorely tempted to up my pledge now Veermyn and GCPS are available

48h reminder is in... 5 hours?

The last 48 hours starts tomorrow, not today!
Still 71 hours to go at this point.

I nore that the veer-myn concept is not a technodrome, nor is it really much of anything else that was suggested in the comments.

I like the second design (I think the first is trying to have some kind of rat head on the front).

It's a shame it's not closer to the technodrome, but I think it still fulfills the same design space: a big mining rig bristling with armor and weapons that I'd assume also works as a transport vehicle.

And besides, it's not like we can't just print our own models for it.

I kind of like the center segment of the top one, but they both kind of lean far too land raidery.

I hope they lean more into it being a super garbage truck or an amalgam of construction vehicles.

maybe going with something like this as base to avoid the Land Raider optic

Or Mortal Engines for that mobile favela look.

If I was not already buried in miniatures and systems, I'd be all over this - Forge Fathers, GPCS, maybe even Veer-Myn and Enforcers.

I'm hoping this outdoes GW's feeble efforts by a mile.

I think we'll see a huge surge once it looks like 8 factions are unlockable and people start adding extra captain pledges to their order to get all the factions.

I'm considering 2x captain + STL pack to get everything I'll ever need for the game.

The STL pack is great value even by indie KS standards, around £16 an army, having that coming from an established company supported by a great ruleset adds a lot of extra value, I'm going to share it around on the STL reddit groups since I know my stuff with that.

Seeing how well the superheavies print on FDM at 28mm could also be really fun, maybe go crazy big with the drakon and build a 4x4 deadzone demo board inside it. I did slice up a few armada ships for 28mm and it looked like it would work well but ultimately shelved the project until I can get a bambu labs printer so it doesn't take weeks.

KS exclusive acrylic tokens appear?!



Ask and ye shall receive

Halfway to Marauders now

Also got a size comparision

Veer-myn nr2
Marauder nr2
Gcps nr 1

It's interesting that the 10mm versions wind up with better proportions than the 28mm models. If the 28mm enforcers looked like that, I'd own a million of them.

Myself and two other friends jumped in. I am getting Veermyn and GCPS. Between us we'll cover most of the factions.

It will be interesting to see if the relative ease of rules will prove as popular as the rather crunchy epic competition.

I'm torn because I will back it if I can get Marauders but I'm not sure if they'll quite reach that unlock. If I back it before it reaches the tier it helps get to that amount but if it falls just short I'm stuck with having pledged but not for the faction I want. Bleh.

I went with the two army bundle. I definitely want the rats, but im unsure if the second army will be asterians, gcps, or enforcer.

and that's a hard spot because it will bounce up and down fast the last few hours.

I know, I kind of want the alien Asterians, they are different. Hard choices.

Getting Veer-Myn for sure but not sure about the 2nd Faction
Somehow Enforcer would be nice but as a Dwarf player FF are the classic choice.
Marauders if we make it or Nameless are also an option, simply because those Orks are different to what else is around and professional Mercenaries > Hooligans for me while Nameless are something no one else makes

you can always cancel your pledge before the KS ends, so if Marauders are not unlocked until the last hour just remove it or reduce it for just the rulebook

There's no if with Marauders, it might not even end up being a nailbiter for Nameless.

Yeah, yesterday got £18k and £15k the day before. Barring something bizarre, marauders unlocks sometime today as the 48 hour reminders kick in.

Pay Day Treat - a Kings of War starter set, or backing this bad boy?!

You'll get the kings of war stuff a lot sooner... but they're very different ways to spend your dough

You're right, I should get both.

Jokes aside, I do wonder if this is an easier sell to "GW Only" sorts. You can't tell they're Mantic minis at a glance, they're just tiny sci fi things, so the rules are really doing the heavy lifting. And the minis look miles better, imho, than LI anyway.

I think what might be the biggest sell for this for GW fans is how quick and clean the ruleset seems to be. Especially now that Legions has been in the wilds for a while, that is not a game for casual play, I think you need to devote a lot of time and energy to learning and playing the game. The nice one-line weapon profiles of the Warpath units might seem appealing to anyone looking through page-long unit profiles in Legions and trying to work out which dice to roll, which have modifiers etc.

Plus four factions at launch with three or four more now helps a lot. A wargame with two factions is pretty fething limp.

And they're going out of their way to emphasize how differently they will play.

So I held off until the late campaign to really look at this so I could just skip to what is ACTUALLY on offer.

It's a touch unclear, but it looks to me like the core army sets are only available in plastic, with no STL for those (basic, army building) units - only the reinforcements seem to be available in STL. Is that true?

Yes, it's exactly like that

Worth getting the 'full' set for a faction, or just the core army set?
