Delayed Assimilation Alien Host... Yep another Kickstarter...

[dariustad]

As awesome a deal this has been for the very concept of scary, hive-minded aliens, I really do feel for those of you who are also attracted to the humanoid and mechanized minis in this Kickstarter. I can only imagine its been difficult to formulate a deal that makes each of you giddy inside; I thought swapping a few aliens around would be difficult, but with all the nifty anti-alien hunters? Ouch!

 

Hope everyone gets what they want out of this project! I know I am!

1 LE grub worm

3 hounds

1 sky hunter flyer

1 queen

1 drone

1 overlord

1 swarm master

1 cannon drone

1 goliath wyrm

2 carnage hounds

20 alien eggs

10 alien hunters including 1 heavy (3 from free minis)

2 power armored alien hunters (50k goal, from $10 credit)

2 alien, alien hunters

2 dreadnoughts with all arms

1 egg base

5 free bases (first 200 backers)

 

WHEW!

I went a little overboard I am afraid. I think I will be getting one of these to paint with:

 

[Ithaqua]

LOL yeah. With this KS, Reaper KS, Devils & Demons KS and Hell on Earth KS, Im hoping Reaper will start selling paint by the gallon!

[Ithaqua]

$55 of trade ins from $110 Swarm level:

17 grub worms ($17)

8 swarm adults ($16)

5 hosts ($5)

1 swarm warrior ($3)

1 stealth swarm ($4)

2 larva swarm ($10)

equals $55 credit

then I added

1 overlord ($30)

6 alien hunters ($18)

1 alien hunter heavy ($3)

2 dreadnoughts with all arms ($45)

2 alien, alien hunters ($8)

20 eggs ($15)

3 alien hunters (free)

comes to $174, missing any queen guards though.

 

EDIT: The art on the queen guard was so good, I added $6 for one, now an even $180 lol

[Frankthedm]

Swarm really is a lot better overall deal than queen. Still, I got both.

The last stretch goal of 50k was met with more than 100 minutes left on the clock.

 

sigh

 

now I have to go recalculate if I have pledged enough to get everything that I want (and to think that I was a bit worried about maybe not meeting the 36k goal).

[Frankthedm]

Ed originally had said he wanted something like the wyrm from the end of the Hellboy movie.

 

However, I probably share some blame for the newest Goliath worm revision. When the illo for the first revision was posted , I linked an image of the Tentacle from Deep Rising.

 

And now...

I went another $10 for some more bases, be crazy not too. I'm glad so many people are getting some cool stuff.

[Caffiene]

Its gone crazy while I was asleep... Ive pledged, but I no longer have any idea what Im actually getting, or going to want to get :P (Thats a good thing)

 

I think Im just going to have to wait until the end and complete run-down of the options before making any decisions on trades.

[Caffiene]

Closed! Juuuust sneaked over the line to make the very final $54k goal.

 

Apparently, since I pledged my level has gotten an additional three 30-40mm base creatures and $20 of credit. Thats some big value! Might even be enough to get the stuff I wanted to trade for and instead use a trade to get something big (Goliath? I dont even know...)

[DavidArcher]

I've been checking it periodically during our weekly RPG night and managed to watch the last 6 minutes on the bus home. Crazy stuff. Never would've imagined $54K when I first pledged on day two. That said, I guess I never really imagined it 4 hours ago.

[recruittons]

Wow. I'm stunned. I predicted 40k in the beginning, and that number was CRUSHED. The swarms of aliens and hunters will be quite sweet to receive around my birthday

[ced1106]

$10 pledge as one of the first 200 backers = (3x $10 pledge = 60 bases) + 1 grub worm + 1 limited edition host

 

That's a lotta terrain markers (and a baddie for my HP Lovecraft games)!

[Nocturne]

And now the usual card problems whenever I try to pay more than q few dollars online. Harumph.
