COMPLETED CAV: STRIKE OPERATIONS Kickstarter

[Sergeant_Crunch]

I may have to deploy my ninja goblins to procure them.  Once they arrive I shall bath in them and cackle evilishly!  muahhhahahahahahahahaa!!!

Wait. Are you saying you're going to bathe in your goblin ninjas?

Hot.

Paint sets go next summer.  We do not have sufficient time between when pledges are locked (so we know how many to make) and shipping to make them.

 

 

Understandable.  At least I know not to add the paint sets to my pledge, I'll just buy them direct from Reaper. 

 

I think about half of those paints aren't currently available.

 

 

That's too bad, it would be nice to have the colors available when the miniatures are. Looks like the core set includes CAVs for the Ritterlich, Templar, Malvernian and Rach factions, but only Ritterlich Blue and Templar Blue are currently available colors.

 

I'll just have to pick something close for the Malvernian Purple and Rach Red, then.  I'm not waiting until next year to start painting those CAVs, and once I start painting them in one color, I'm not going to change once the new colors are released.

The beauty of how CAV paint works (via the fluff) is it changes based on what the pilot programs.  Having slight variation in scheme looks better on the battle field anyway.

The stuff about the vehicle's "paint" changing color was never anything official, but when it was discussed, it was w/the prerequisite that it was a huge power drain on the CAV, so it was something that could only be done for short periods of time. The rest of the time the CAV would appear in its regular color scheme, whatever that was.  CAV 1.5 had a Stealth Action to reflect this, but it never got carried over to CAV 2.

 

Oddly, the CAV 2 rulebook has a pic of what a stealthed CAV might look like, on pg 28.

I usually use Bright Red for my Rach, seems to work well.

From a painter point of view, when I see an army with a couple different shades of their basic color, I don't think "variations in age or applicaiton in the field" what I think is "looks like two different people painted this army, and didn't coordinate the paints they used". 

 

For me, I like the idea of a uniform paint scheme to identify one faction from the other, and to tie all the units of each faction together.  So, while it would be nice to have an offical Rach Red to use, I at least know what it should look like so finding something close will be good enough for me.

Hey Reaper! Will you package CAV Bones also in one of those spiffy themed boxes, like Bones II?

 

 

Pretty please?

The stealth technique seems to work well as I'm looking at pg.28 of the CAV 2 ver 1.1 book and don't see the CAV! :-D

I may try and field a completely white CAV army vs a completely gray CAV army. With that style I can play right out of the box!

True, but over time the gray army is going to have a lot more flexibility in terms of unit selection...

nothing a fresh coat of white spray paint can't fix though ;)

I've had way too much overtime recently to sit down and make sure I get everything I want in the pledge manager. I *think* next weekend is early enough to keep my early bird.

[Sergeant_Crunch]

Almost forgot to lock in my info! Done now. In for a section of four Chieftains, a pair of Krakens (which I will use for Barracudas though the art doesn't match the model), a 'Hawk 6, and a Kahn (though by the looks of it, I'll need two or three more later).

I just checked the import and duty cost and the handling fee and this is getting way too pricey (for me).

What again is the procedure to ask a refund?
