Figure out which add-ons you want to buy. Then make a pledge for your base level plus the cost of add-ons. So if you want $50 worth of add-ons on top of a $300 pledge, pledge $350.
You will have the opportunity to select which add-ons you want (and add more money if you want) in the Pledge Manager after the campaign finishes, but money spent post-campaign doesn't contribute to Stretch goals.

Thanks. Done!

Obviously missing content: Any mention of a painting guide.

More thoughts later.

Come on, THAT is obvious . . . they are the Clans, their mechs are properly painted with the blood of their enemies with hidden speakers playing the lamentations of their enemies' women when they are on the offensive.

I see a great epidemic of grown men doing the pee-pee dance for more than a year waiting for their boxes to arrive.

This needs a GIF so, so badly!

Clan Diamond Shark rocks up to Tukayyid but CLEARLY didn't get the message, but one of their Psyops did. And as they go into battle

"Maaaa-gi-k Shark do do do doo doo..."

$320,000 - NEW EXCLUSIVE POSTER. We will consult the Khans and then commission a new art for another great double-sided physical poster, to be provided to all RISTAR backers and above.

Can ... er, uh ... Øystein be involved with this one?

<cough>

kinwolf · « **Reply #937 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:01:45 »

How many stories will they have to create to fullfill all those canon ~~fodder~~ characters pledges???

Sartris · « **Reply #938 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:04:43 »

Most will probably just show up on rosters or as pilots in scenarios

If you’ve got a cool name you might get a passing mention in a sourcebook blurb

SteveRestless · « **Reply #939 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:07:43 »

Personally I'd be fine with my character appearing in a different Era. Totally cool with a mention in one of the plot-forward sourcebooks rather than an invasion era one.

So far 98 backers at the Galaxy Commander level. Not only do they get to name a character, but the character gets art in their likeness in a BT product. The 22 Khans and 6 Full Kerenskys get that, too. That's 126 canon characters with art IN a product SO FAR.

I don't know how to determine if anyone has taken the $200 add-on to name a character, who would ALSO get art and inclusion in an upcoming product.

Sartris · « **Reply #941 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:14:22 »

They probably should have put a cap on that lol

H.B.M.C. · « **Reply #942 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:17:29 »

Hey look at that. "A Game of Armoured Combat" is an add-on. Whodathunkit? ;)

Can we please also add "The Beginner's Box" as an add-on?

BYE

BlCharger · « **Reply #943 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:22:20 »

I suppose it all depends on how many artists they have lined up to create the art and how detailed CGL wants them to be. Some of those characters will be going to the new Mechwarrior Pilots Cards (the $310k stretch goal).

Doom · « **Reply #944 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:24:50 »

That could be their intent. Maybe that's why they don't indicate the size of those card decks. The Star Colonel perks specifically state the canon character will appear in 'sourcebooks or fiction', though, and the later ones refer to that one. So if they ONLY appear on those cards, it somewhat repudiates the perk people specifically pay for.

DarkSpade · « **Reply #945 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:26:54 »

My credit card is screaming because I just went Full galaxy commander.

I should warn everyone that doesn't know that the last time I was supposed to show up in the battletech universe was with wizkids and the game died a year later and the [original]company another year after that. If my bad luck on this holds out, I'm sincerely very sorry. :-[

FrozenIceman · « **Reply #946 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:29:14 »

Any chance we could get a faction specific lapel as an add-on?

Honestly, you're better off getting it from a local shop where it is most probably sold around 50$ too and won't add shipping cost.(plus, you get it now and not in 9 months)

Beginner box is part of the first two pledge level.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #948 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:31:19 »

I go away for a few hours and find that an additional $250K has been pledged.

This has been exploding.

kinwolf · « **Reply #949 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:36:36 »

USD$ sucks. In CAN$ the pledge is already over 497K. As such I demand that all Canadians get all strech goals unlocked! ;D

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #950 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:37:36 »

Just crossed 2000 backers and $380K.

I'm excited to see what the other side of the world does before I get to work tomorrow. Go Asia and Oceania goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I wonder if the person responsible for adding, unlocking and updating the stretch goals is tearing his hair out that the fund keeps passing the stretch goals before he can add, unlock and update them? Hoping we might see some omnifighters, dropships and warships further up the stretch goals....and of course the 3rd Book of Founding of the Clans.

I am hoping for more scenarios for other types of Trails and of course IIC packs.

Kojak · « **Reply #954 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:47:03 »

Welp, I just dropped three hundo to get the Star Commander level plus all the dice and challenge coins, and the canon character. Feelin' pretty good.

cobaltcoil · « **Reply #955 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:50:00 »

Perhaps we can see some Clan Trials of Absorption....Widowmaker and Mongoose, come to mind and of course a certain Clan Trial of Annihilation for the Not-Named? :thumbsup: :drool: ;D

YingJanshi · « **Reply #956 on:** 17 July 2019, 17:59:39 »

Welp, just jumped on for the Star Colonel pledge. Trying to see just what add-ons I can afford... (or at least convince myself I can... ;D )
Probably the thing I'm most excited for is the Elementals: just have to have those in a Clan set. Definitely going to be picking up some of the those.

A couple quick questions:
1) Will the new Star/Lance packs be released to the public at a later date? Or are they Kickstarter exclusives?
2) Is the map scale DropShip the one from IWM or is it a new sculpt?

I'm in Oz. Shipping's going to be bad no matter what I do. At least I can get everything at the same time this way.

And not an add-on, which is what I'd prefer.

That might backfire and get them brutally, viciously attacked by every parent on the planet, batchall be damned!

Also, for the completionists among us, can we get some text somewhere on the campaign listing the number of unique dice, coins, packs, etc. that have been unlocked so we can make sure we have enough addons to get ‘all the things’?

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #959 on:** 17 July 2019, 18:06:14 »

Just shy of 400K and it's still an hour before people start getting off work on the West Coast.
