Fulfilling Mythic Battles Pantheon

[Hestis]

If this were Norse gods I would be all over it. 

If they does well, they do plan on looking at other pantheons. It was a while ago, but they said their next two ideas were "Ragnarok"  and "Eclipse."

What's holding me back right now is not knowing how they will handle Canadian shipping.  There is no mention of using a Canadian shipping hub, which means that there might be extra fees (beyond shipping when I receive it.

 

Since no Canadians have received delivery on Conan yet I will have to wait and see what they say when the get it.  That will give me a sense of what to expect here.

[Hestis]

I think they said they're still negotiating with shippers. That could mean they're looking at different options than what they used for Conan (or it could mean nothing at all...)

[Leader of the Rats]

They said in updates in Conan KS that the Canada Hub would be sending out to the Canada backers. You're right though, Mythic Battles says nothing about it. Best to find out before the KS ends. I'm more worried about the Exchange rate, currently +25%.

I watched the gameplay video last night.  Honestly, it seemed rather slow and I'm not really a fan of the dice mechanic.  But we'll see how this develops.

Next stretch goal up is the titan, Atlas. It's huge!

[Smokestack]

Atlas is still lurking at $500k. He’s getting closer all the time though, and boy is he big. He’s going to be really big when he arrives! He makes the Gods look small, and they’re already twice the height of a hero like Achilles

 

We think he might be the biggest “miniature†ever given away on Kickstarter!

 

[Smokestack]

every thing unlocked so far...

[talion78]

I want the Hydra, that the best one I've seen to date. Guessing I'll be checking out eBay after delivery as there seems to be no add on options.

 

The gods and the Titans look awesome, not a fan of the rest of the miniatures

Man I have a short attention span. Everything looks great and new great stuff keeps coming but I find myself losing interest...

I have a feeling once Conan arrives and hits my table, I will lose interest as well. I really like some of the sculpts though.

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

Naw, it is BECAUSE I have Conan on my table that I'm backing this.

[Dan d'Lyon]

I'm actually getting more interested as the campaign rolls along.

[Carnacki the Ghost Finder]

I was excited before it started, and I am still interested in the game, but none of the stretch goals so far have interested me.  The core set seems like a very coherent and well-designed aesthetic with a solid logic holding it together, and I could see my self buying this game at retail. 

 

However I feel like in this project I would be paying a lot more to get the stretch goals.  But do I need those?  Atlas is big ... yes ... but I don't look at that guy and think "Atlas" from Greek myth.  I think a giant with four arms.    The Spartoi are just skeletons and Medea and Echo are ... not for me.

 

This could easily end up costing me $200 canadian (100 US plus shipping plus taxes/duties) and that seems like a lot for the core game.  I wonder what the retail price of the basic game will be?

 

Anyway, just offering some thoughts on what is holding me back.  I could easily change my mind and am watching this with interest.

This is still going strong, $850k with 18 days to go. Currently the base pledge has 96 minis (47 unique sculpts) with ~20 of them large or larger. So around a dollar per mini, making it a great deal even if you are only interested in the figures. Also, ~10 sculpts are ks exclusives. Including this guy, who I'm very excited about:

 

 

That's a great looking Icarus.
