Mercenaries Kickstarter Discussion 6: the 1st 3rd Star League conversation

[Scotty]

One of these days you guys will finally learn that starting topics is free, I have 302 topics in my garage.

Please continue your regularly scheduled discussion here.

Yes I know the 3rd League conversation is in a different topic, but it started because of observations about the KS swag so it counts.

[MarauderD]

I'm excited for the Firestarter and Javelin minis--they looked great in the pics I saw from Pax.  Also, think of the dirty things you can do with two Firestarters and two Javelins with mixed Inferno/SRM loads.   

[Scotty]

I'm honestly genuinely excited for the Star League covers for the Beginner and GOAC boxes.  Hanse v Death Commandos Comstar is iconic but it's very dark.  The new covers are bright and very eye catching.

[Lorcan Nagle]

I feel the Firestarter's centre torso flamer is a bit too big, but it's a minor complaint

[Sartris]

It’s free fire

It looks to be in the same scale as the Warhawk C's Flamer, I'd chalk it up to being a Light and much smaller.

Yeah, it's more the proportions relative to the rest of the 'mech. The rectangular design of the weapon looks cool

[NeonKnight]

I'm just looking to get lots more IS mechs for my Fronc/Canpoian/Taurian Campaign Area

I wanted to, but some nice gentlemen from Geneva told me to stop it...

I'll have to take a look at the pics -- seeing their art on the MUL, it's another in the long list of "I don't know how they did it, but they improved upon perfection" moments that the guys doing the redesigns have been racking up.

Question is do we get to thread 8 before shipping?

Beat me to it:  I'm painting up the Warhawk C right now as new Star League Falcons and they look identical at first glance.

Seeing how they're predicting fulfillment in March, well probably get past it.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Placeholder.

I've not been paying attention - is the current preduction for delivery in March 2024? Because it's great if it is, but in that case it feels like it might deliver before the Leviathan KS...

[mikecj]

TAG'd.  The new artwork is beautiful work.

Likely.

LOL. Too bad the Firestarters won't be out in time for me playing as the 99th Amaris Dragoons IN Geneva at the next Strategicon event.

 

[Luciora]

March delivery would be nice

During the PAX Unplugged livestream Cubby talked about Force Manual Davion coming out Marchish with the Kickstarter stuff. The general assumption is that he was talking about Kickstarter fulfillment and not retail.

[Colt Ward]

March or a bit earlier lets them sell the new 40th shirts at GenCon & keep their promise.

You need to use gas missiles and something with an Arrow IV to deploy nukes for the full Geneva Checklist...

If this manages to get fulfilled in March, that'd be fantastic news. Coming in approximately 3 months prior to June would be a big boon.

Even if things come later, regardless, huge props to Liya and CGL for diligently working on this and keeping everyone updated. It's been great to see.

[shivanwurm]

Saw this shared

[Wolf72]

that is a cool spread of boxes ... want to see the Blood Asp 'in person' though.

I got my SL swag for the first one, I honestly just assumed Alaric would put his face at the center of the star for the Third one. I'd still get that one though.

For some reason I was picturing the map-scale DropShips coming in plain packaging.

[I am Belch II]

Nice seeing the updates and the photos of stuff.

[shivanwurm]

So these will be retail as well?

[I am Belch II]

Would be neat if they are. Get my dropships later.

That was always how they were presented, though originally it was supposed to be through IWM's distribution network instead of Catalyst's.
