Nah, this Kickstarter really is par for the course with a startup. They are clearing ~£5000 a day, which for a new company on their first project is pretty good.  Remember CMON and their ilk are bucking the trend rather than being part of it (not to mention they are an established brand like Mantic, WGF, SJG and Reaper).  I've been part of everything from a small print-run RPG that was lucky to break $10k to $1mil video game projects.  Prodos's is what I would expect from a new company composed of two guys and a handful of freelancers who need to content with producing a licensed game.  We'll talk again in a year or two if they decide to do another Kickstarter once they are established, but right now they are going along at a good clip for the size they are.

And expect the Beta rules on Monday (or the 28th...  both were quoted in the same post, Kickstarters can warp time when you are caught in them).

I'm pretty sure it will be on Monday.

And yeah, please keep in mind this is a small project and a lot of money has been put into making the designs (and re-designing!!!).

You know what, it is the £ instead of $ that is throwing me off.  It's a much better pace than I initially thought.  In the end I just want it to succeed because I have loved the game since 1st ed, which seems so long ago.

lol! As Prodos is UK based, they have to run kickstarter using £££. They have posted under each pledge level the equivalent in $$$ for you lot!

Anyway,

This design is done, Jarek is happy with it. I'm happy with it! But what pose do you like? I like pose 3 personally.

Pose 3!! No doubt! That is exactly what I meant with "a more dynamic pose"!  :D

Nope, as it's a hero model! To make all 3, Prodos would have to make 3 moulds. No-one would buy 3 of the same model in 3 different poses, so it's not really worth it!

Well, pose 1 is my least favorite anyway. Feels too much like old school GW orcs waving choppaz all around.

On another matter by the looks of things (until we get the rules on Monday), its looks like it will be a few squads/hero/monster per side I do hope the cards don't affect the game to much especially the gear cards I would want them to be semi-permanent, you place them either at the beginning or during the game to announce the unit type was better equipped than 1st thought ie extra armour grenades etc. which is good for tactical reasons of never quite knowing all the gear they have rather than they are Hussars = light armour, rifle, pistol.

But one thing I really want is to be able to do larger battles with hordes of troops I do hope they put this option in the back especially if they want to sell lots of the minis, which will be needed to make it viable to turn them into plastic minis..

Making it possible to play bigger games would be a smart move, as you say. But worst case scenario we can still use the models in another mass comat-ish system.
