The goal has already been met. Mainly because it was set too damned low IMO

Welp, that's me in.
I'll wait now to see what the stretch goals open up, and what sort of bonus pledge extras there are.
I'm mostly in it for the IS lances, and timberwolf, but the shadowcat is also one I like.

I'm gonna put a pledge in now just to get it in my kickstarter account, but there are some pretty serious 'Whale' options on there that are tempting me. Gonna have to have a chat with the wife this evening!

I was still trying to figure how much to donate....and now I might not have too.

I went with Star Colonel.  Happy to be a part of it all.

Glad I didn't go nuts on Prime day this year.  Also glad I bought my wife a new iPad.   ;)

13 minutes in, and I'm pretty sure the goal should have been 90k.

Okay, I have to say I really really like the art & layout for the proposal.

So far we are up to Clan Command Star and Elementals . . . 100k for Marauders, woo hoo!

How do I know what backer # I was?  Lol, I want to add it to my sig!

OMG! even though I'm Canadian, so price/goal etc in  Canadian dollars on my Kickstarer, I can't even accurately track the total, as it keeps rolling over. Right now just under $100k Canadian, or around $75k US

Believe it or not, I just found out that my credit card has expired - apparently, when they sent me a new one last year I kept the old one and threw away the new one.  :P

I used credit card a lot for online shopping a while back but switched over to PayPal almost exclusively... so I didn't realize until now that I kept the wrong card. Gah.

31 days left to sort it out.

Lets stop pretending they aren't going to be reached. If the battlemat is breached I might go to star Colonel. *edit - did it.



Mar 2020 is... a bit aggressive as a delivery date. you guys give yourselves any padding for slip, or is that maximal optimism?

I am not one of them, but I did just TXT my wife to let her know it was a thing...we will see how she reacts! Khan might be more realistic since I'm usually at Origins or GenCon anyway.

I think most of the design stuff was already in line, indications- TO ME and unofficially- is that they had done all the product development and this was funding the actual production costs.

20 minutes in, 476 backers and $94.5k . . . I feel safe predicting Marauders! . . . 120k, Warhammers?
