Yeah specualting about the KS is nice and fun but I was hoping that a new thread mean that we had more confirmed information to ponder and chat over.

How soon will we get what is confirmed in Wave 1 of the Mercenaries Kickstarter (or Wave 3 if we count it as following on from the 2 waves of the Clan Invasion Kickstarter)?? I know stretch goals will morph and change over time bt I am keen to see what is included in the start of the Mercenaries KS.

I am betting this Kickstarter only has 1 Wave.  I would imagine CGL doesn't want to go through the nightmare of two waves again.

I think some buyers would agree. We may see even fewer stretch goals because even though they were nice I feel they created 50% of the headaches (the other 50% was completely out of their control)

Well the main thing that cause two WAVES last time was they didn't have the art started for most the minis.  Seems like that is not the case this time.

I am expecting a lot less SKU's in this kickstarter.  The amount of SKU options in the last kickstarter was mind boggling crazy.

Continuing the idea of canon characters, while I doubt that they will do such a thing again, I must say that working with the list has been an experience. Sometimes I'd get a great character idea to work with, or something with enough skeleton that I could hang some nice meat on it. Other were so wide open, being basically just a name. There were a few eye rollers, to be sure. But let me remind you all that Pope Leo comes from a canon character submission!

We still have at least two months, I'm sure we'll finish more than one entire thread.

If it gets me a Locust company for a reasonable price, I'm okay with that.

Oh yeah, and the announced Spector from the Leviathans Q&A... man, I need me one of those.

Definitely not to pair it with my Executioner in my 48th Shadow Division army to get triple stealth modifiers, noooo ::)
