Man muss allerdings beachten, dass es sich bei den bemalten Minis um Resinminis handelt, Fotos von den enthaltenen Plasikminis gab\'s afaik noch nicht zu sehen.

Mal gespannt, ab die Details in Plastik alle gut ĂŒbertragen werden können.

[AndréM]

Da es sich um ein RestikÀhnliches Material handelt mach ich mir bei den Details weniger Sorgen.

[Diomedes]

McVey schrieb es wÀre das gleiche Material, das auch Privateer Press (und auch Mantic) verwendet. Er meinte die Ergebnisse gefallen ihm besser als die Zinnfiguren, er ist allerdings auch Resin Fan.
Ich schÀtze er hat einen ziemlich hohen QualitÀtsanspruch, deshalb vertraue ich mal den Werbekommentaren.

Aktueller Stand ist 279K, damit ist die zweite Drohne gesichert.

Das nÀchste Stretch-Ziel liegt bei 300K.
Bei erreichen dieses Ziels gibt es dann fĂŒr jedes Spiel einen zweiten Grendlr:

Kurzer News-Feed

> Eine Erweiterung fĂŒr nĂ€chstes Jahr ist in Planung und es werden zukĂŒnftig auch noch grĂ¶ĂŸere Minis in das Brettspiel integriert.
> SW-BfA enthĂ€lt auch einen Solo-Modus fĂŒr die Vanguard, der es einem erlaubt alle Missionen allein durchzuspielen.
> Aktueller Stand ist: Knapp 290K, damit ist der zweite Grendlr heute Abend oder morgen frĂŒh gesichert.

Und eine interessanter Kommentar von Rob Baxter:

\"If we hit $500,000 I\'ll write a novel. I\'m going to regret saying that.\"
\"If we hit a million, I\'ll write a trilogy.

Update #32: Paging Mr Banks. We seem to have a leak in one of the vents....

What happens when an unstable conscript maintenance engineer has to cut his way into Alabaster station because someone forgot to leave an airlock open?



\"Killed in action while fighting Firebrand rebels in the Salazar interdiction, Niven Banks, Tech Officer 1st class was uploaded to a battlefield transponder. Under severe viral attack, the transponder suffered catastrophic failure while parts of Banks persona were still reaching engrammatic resolution. Safety interlocks failed due to a Firebrand virus in Vanguard systems and Banks resuscitated to re-enter the battlefield while suffering a massive psychotic break. Combat triggered hallucinations led to a lethal friendly fire incident involving nine other Vanguard.\"



On permanent hazard duty, Niven was \"lucky\" enough to be doing external maintenance in standard issue space armor when the outbreak occurred. Now armed to the teeth with whatever he\'s managed to jury rig, Engineer Banks is going to do anything it takes to get off this &@^#(!ing station!

Get Niven for $10! This version of him will only be available during this Kickstarter and at conventions.  We have big plans for the character though, expect to see more of him later!  Expected to ship March 2013.

And of course....



If we hit this stretch, it looks like Mr Banks won\'t make it off this tub after all. Every one who purchase Niven Banks gets his Strained version free! Ships the same time as Niven.

Von ein paar netten Leuten zusammengetragen:

Infos ĂŒber die Regeln/ĂŒber die Spielmechaniken.

-The \'Reflex Mode\' means that certain models have a special ability to react to actions made by the \'Active Mode\' player (generally attacks I would assume). For example the Vanguard Samaritan troopers reflexive action is that they can fire at an attacking enemy when it get\'s within X amount of squares of it. This can for example be used when guarding corridors or covering the back of teammates. The Phase 1 Strains/Revenant\'s reflexive action on the other hand means they can advance and charge up to 4 squares at any enemy that attacks, but fails to kill it. See it as a representation of their relentless advancement against anything that can be infected, Zombie style.

-The Strain player can make Phase 1 Revenant\'s \'self combust\' (or as Rob put it \'Juice\') when near enmemies to infect them with the nano-virus. This mechanic can also be used to turn the Revenant into new nano-clouds, used for infection and evolution.

-Infected humans can at certain points of infection be controlled by the Strain player to attack their own, and I believe also be made to self combust.

-You can use the Vanguard \'Tactical Network\' to \'mark\' enemies, making them easier to hit I believe. Barker Zosa (Vanguard heavy weapons specialist) for example can shoot \'marked\' enemies through walls, basically destroying the wall and whatever lurks behind it.

-There\'s also \'Hurley\', kind of like the Vanguards A.I system that deploys drones assisting the Vanguard in offensive and defensive situations. I believe these \'drones\' are the so-called \'Hoover Tanks\' we\'ve seen. The Hurley A.I can do lot\'s more stuff when it comes to the Vanguard Tactical Network, but not everything is revealed yet.

-The Vanguard soldiers have the ability to \'cloak\' using their Opticammo mechanic (similar to everyones favorite Predator). This mechanic can be represented by using the \'clear miniature\' versions of the Vanguard troopers/heroes, it is not neccessary though. The Strain cannot use reflexive actions against cloaked troopers, they will probably be more difficult to hit and/or damage as well.

-When injured but not killed certain (or all, not sure) Strain enter into \'regenerative\' mode where they do more damage and are more \'infective\' (similar to an injured Xenomorph bleeding acid or the Lambent Berserker becoming more aggressive and leaking damaging imulsion when injured). This can visually be represented by the \'Glow in the Dark\' versions of the Strain models, once again that is not needed for gameplay, just a cool little extra.

-The Strain player can use \'nano-clouds\' to:

a)Infect living humans into Phase 2 Strain (Stalker/Quasimodo).
b)Re-animate dead humans into Phase 1 Strain (Revenant).
c) Evolve certain Strain into more advanced forms, turning a Phase 2 \'Stalker\' into a Phase 3 \'Scythe Witch\' for example. Basically making his troops more advanced/deadly as the game rolls on.

-Rules for the Vanguard to use \'power shields\'.

-Basic game is standard 1 vs. 1 but a complete solo-play campaign will be included called \'Lights Out\'. Rules for co-op and multi-player games will be added later on, probably with the next \'Firebrand Rebellion\' expansion.

-9 scenarios with a running narrative (The Outbreak Campaign). And I believe something like 10 stand-alone scenarios.

-Downloadable campaign including a huge \'final battle\' scenario involving 70-80 models. Not sure but I believe this is called the \'Quarantine Campaign\'.

Hallo Dead Space Design!

[AndréM]

Da ist man mal drei Stunden weg und schon wird man von News ĂŒberrannt.

> Erreichen wir 360K gibt es einen zusÀtzlichen Cthonian umsonst dazu.



Ab sofort kann man auch die Bodenplatten als Extraset erwerben. (Das GelĂ€nde im Terrain-Set reicht fĂŒr die Bodenplatten des Grundsets, man braucht also fĂŒr jedes Bodenplattenset je ein Terrain Set, wenn man alles mit GelĂ€nde ausstatten will.) Die Missionen benötigen aber kein zweites Bodenplattenset, das ist nur fĂŒr die verrĂŒckten Hunde unter uns, die alles haben wollen .



Und damit jeder leicht verstehen kann was er bekommt und was extra ist, hat uns CMoN das ganze optisch nett aufbereitet:

[AndréM]

Das nÀchste Ziel liegt bei 390K.

Als neue Extrafigur gibt es Ramirez:



Werden die 390K erreicht, bekommen wir sie in einer zusÀtzlichen Strainversion:

[AndréM]

Die nÀchsten beiden Stretch-Goals:



Bei erreichen des Ziels gibt es sechs Babydronen kostenlos zum Spiel dazu. Diese ersetzen die bisherigen Pappcounter.



Und ich hoffe aus ganz persönlichen GrĂŒnden, dass wir das 430K-Ziel erreichen!



Hab ich da wen geminesische Morgengymastik sagen hören?!



Die Dame gibt es fĂŒr 10$, aber wenn wir das Ziel erreichen gibt es ihre Strain-Version kostenlos obendrauf.

[Diomedes]

DAS sind doch mal coole stretchgoals!

[AndréM]

Die 430 sind geschafft und auch die Strain bekommen etwas Liebe:



Werden die 460 geschafft gibt es sechs Bonecrabs kostenlos zu jedem Biohazard dazu.

Und ab sofort gibt es etwas ganz besonderes:

\"The crew of the Calamity never thought they\'d get caught up in the going\'s on of a remote science station. Still, the take from handling the \"special\" cargo they hauled from that creepy moon made everything worth it. That and a bit of RnR on a cushy science facility with all the mod cons unavailable on a deep space freighter was a good morale booster for the crew.

Now Captain Ian Reins, his XO Bella Grange, enforcer Phoenix Corbett, and the mysterious and deadly pilot Delta Chen have found themselves caught between Vanguard forces and slavering mutants intent on infecting them with some kind of nano-virus. Still, the crew has dealt with misfortune before, and they intend to get out of this bit of worry like they always do... intact, alive, and broke.\"



Und schaffen wir die 470 gibst die gesamte Mannschaft:

Und die aktualisierte Übersicht:






Und das nÀchste Stretch-Goal



\"The Solar Conglomerate rarely issues death orders for escaped convicts or conscripts, but the fugitive known as Keegan Kor, the Snake of Garrado, the Blade, King Kor, or Keegan Rampage, is one such individual.

A top ten fugitive on the Bounty Dog Network for six years running, his crimes pale in comparison to his exploits as a fugitive. Convicted to a conscription sentence for illegal free running and snatch theft, Keegan soon found himself evading the law using quick wits and an unnatural talent as an autodidact.  He has been at large for almost ten years, becoming increasingly more skilled at escape and evasion to the frustration of Solcom enforcement and BDN agents.

Prior to his conviction Keegan was a non-augmented human in perfect physical condition. Since then, he has been amplified by black market chop docs and Gazui clan enforcement medics. He boasts an impressive array of edge Amps that enhance his considerable survival instincts and acrobatic abilities. Considered an expert knife fighter, Keegan is to be approached with extreme caution.

Despite his reputation, when faced with life or death survival he often places the survival of others above his own. In many cases he has saved his own potential captors from death, and even put an end to the pirate Czarna Kolt’s reign of terror along the Meridian Edge.

His status as a cult figure and the ratings he pulls in on the BDN has led some to believe that he may actually be a media figure created for the benefit of public manipulation. Still it is assumed that the Fugitive has now made contact with the Firebrand in order to find amnesty from the constant pursuit by the BDN and Solcom Regulators.

The reward for his live capture is substantial.\"



Den Kerl gibt es bei erreichen des Ziels kostenlos zu jedem Biohazard-Set.

[Tabris]

Huihuihui, da wird ja jedes Sci-Fi-Setting der neueren Zukunft verwurschtelt ... sei es Aliens (Rickley & Ramirez), firefly (Calamity crew), Galatica (Hexen Phaegyrius) als auch Ridic/Pitch Black (Streach Goal 540K). Komisch das es da keine Copyright-probleme gibt.

Ich bin jedenfalls mal auf die Miniaturenumsetzung gespannt
