dsmiles Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 As much as CMoN screwed the pooch with Relic Knights distribution, I am still actually considering backing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talion78 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I can't back this on the basis that the miniatures painted would scare the s*** out of me too much 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findariel Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I'll take a look at all the minis when it's live ... not that interested in the game, but if the minis are nice (same went for Blood Rage and what I've seen of the minis - they're fantastic). Only problem: I'm not interested in modern day minis ... so everybody with a gun is out. But the monsters look like they MIGHT (!) make up for it ... Same here!! The KS may well end up with very many great monsters. I could always sell the minis (incl exclusives) on eBay and keep the monsters! They really are superb and could make for some real nightmarish dungeon levels!!!! In other words: I'm definitely in!!

Maledrakh Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 "This can also be used for..." urgh. Why is that even a point? Shouldn't it rather be: Do you want the minis, or don't you want the minis? When it comes to CMONs boardgames, the price is usually fixed at a point far less than buying the minis on their own would be, especially after all the strech goals kick in, The boardgame itself and all that can be seen as dressing for the minis. I am quite sure that most of the buyers of this game will never play it. Same goes for Blood Rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure that most of the buyers of this game will never play it. Same goes for Blood Rage. I some cases it is true (like this one, I'm usually not a fan of modern day themes) and in others it isn't. Some people aren't interested in games at all and only buy for the (usually very nicely priced) miniatures. Personally I usually want to give it a try if I like the theme. I read Blood Rage had rather good reviews; in that case I may both play the game but also use the minis for other purposes. But yes it is true: I hardly buy games without appealing minis. Just in case the gameplay isn't that much fun, or if the people I play with don't like it I haven't spend the money for nothing, which would be a bit sad.

Godfather Punk Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 My cardinal SIn, when it comes to Kickstarters, is definitely Gluttony. Then, once the plastic arrives, it becomes Sloth. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfather Punk Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) So? Any guesses what this is gonna cost us? My guess is €90 entry level 2 Sins unlocked as stretch goals and the other 3 Sins as $50 add-ons. Maybe some special expansion box, also at $50? Guest artist heroes: $20 per 3 minis. Plus shipping, of course. Squeeze 'em dry, Zombicide style. Or would they make this like Blood Rage and B-Sieged, with minimal extra add-ons?

Smokestack Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 My guess is it will be like BloodRage... Base box at $100... Stretch goals for plastic components... and all the sins... and one expansion at $50 for additional heroes... Plus an artbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan d'Lyon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'll certainly be checking this one out. Not sure if I'll jump in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 So, McVey and CMON. How/why do those two parties actually trust each other again? Hw/why is it reasonable to assume they'll actually care about backers, this time? I know Guillotine Games is also involved, but saying that alone guarantees McVey/CMON won't turn toxic again would be putting 'they're the second coming' level faith in Guillotine.

Doramos Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 This is a bit different. McVey is just doing the art/sculpts for this one, and most of them are already done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 So, can we trust Guillotine to send McVey back to the sculpting table if he decides the last couple of sculpts really are okay looking like they're a different scale? We know CMON won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahayford Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 CMoN has learned a lot of lessons since Sedition Wars. They have had a large number of successful KS's since then. I'm not really worried. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_the_Technicoloured Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's basically the same team set as Blood Rage which announced itself as 'From Guillotine Games, Studio McVey, designer Eric M. Lang and artist Adrian Smith comes the final epic Viking Saga BLOOD RAGE.' I think the big question with this one is going to be gameplay rather than minis which we can see as final plastics in most cases (there's been a fairly significant delay in the launch compared to when info on it first came out which could be extra playtesting, or could be difficulty in getting the game to work right) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
