Clan Invasion Kickstarter Discussion 5, Green Eyeshade Edition

[Insaniac99]

if I understand the comments correctly, to get the details of the dragon you have carve its surroundings and as the carved out parts get the ink color the only way to get a black dragon would have been a black dice with red logo color -  and they wanted to keep the red dice color.

Which I don't understand why they can't do it as the Steiner and Liao logos seems finer and more complicated than the Kurita one but those were cut just fine.

...  and they wanted to keep the red dice color.

Like the Kell Hounds dice, the Kurita dice look orange to me. Making them both like the Dragoons would've been my preference. Might be repetitive, but they'd look better.

Except the dice isn't red.   Nor is the Kell hound dice.    Honestly...Well I will be nice.  But how do you not catch that?

Test shots of minis when? ;)

I would of sworn in some of the earlier updates they showed some

[Arkansas Warrior]

Submitted my survey.  Hopefully going for an angle no one else is.  I mean he's a *retired* mechwarrior, but now doing something else entirely.

We've seen the proofs, but no production runs yet.  I think.

Mine’s head of a NAIS counter-bioweapon field research team, collecting hazardous samples for analysis and developing calibrated sniffers to detect bioweapon attacks and alert friendlies.

no. quoting Ray in the KS comments:

"Yes we noticed, just like the Davion die. The final one (which they didn’t send) should be inverted."

looks like a lot of people missed this comment.

Those were 3D prints; CGL said that they would have them sometime this month

Rodeo clown?

My missed vocation

So it is interesting earlier Cat said on the Drac dice you couldn't do a black dragon unless the dice was black.   Well how do you explain this?  https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/battletech-dice-house-kurita  They are litteraly selling a red dice with a black dragon.

Religious Leader.  Might have to compete with ItsTehPope, I suppose.

The emblems on this dice are only printed and not engraved.

I own a few of those sets. The designs are defiantly recessed.

[Deadborder]

Did my character submission. I deliberately chose to make them era-agnostic by attaching them to a unit that exists in every Era.

[Daryk]

You tease...  ^-^

Only partial and very lightly.
No comparison with the other BT dice (not done by Q-Workshop) I own.

Is the dragon recesed or not?  That is what it boils down too

[Asgo]

in this case it boils to the question, if both production processes have the same limitations. ;)
Without that, the comparison has limited value for conclusions on feasibility.

[Sartris]

dragon on the Q Workshop dice is definitely recessed.

whether or not the manufacturer doing the KS dice has the same capability is unknown

[Joewrightgm]

It may have to die with the type of plastic/technique used to make the KS dice too. 

[Drak4806]

Do we know what will and won't be available for when the pledge manager opens back up for Wave 2?

[marauder648]

Just a thought, some of the stuff for the KS is being made in China right? With the current lurgy over there that's causing a lot of trouble and everything, might this cause a delay in production/delivery?

Possibly, but not right now. They are shut down for CNY anyway. So any further delays will only get apparent once CNY is over and they can see what is going on then.
In theory, the current medical situation could lead to a major delay. But nobody will be able to know for sure at the moment.

[BoyOfSummer]

Some questions with reference to the canon characters:

My pledge includes 3 characters b/c of 3 Star Colonels.

One of the Colonels is for a friend who wants to drop the character for the money.

The other 2 Colonels are mine, and I don't want to drop the characters. One will be me (YEAH!), the other one a late friend.

So: how do I drop only the one character and keep the other two?

And: how can I give the information for more than one character in the survey?

FYI: I got only one link to the survey.

[DarkISI]

You will receive surveys for all 3 characters seperately. If you already got one survey, because you pledged as Star Colonel during the Kickstarter, you could just drop that one to free up the money for your friend and later fill out the surveys for the 2 other SCs you will get once Wave 1 closes down.

I certainly hope the factory isn't in Wuhan...

@DarkISI: Thanks.
