So could I make a decent strike force out of Haunts and Pillagers, hum...

Kind of sucks though that the dropship isn't happening, but glad to hear at some point in the future it will receive its own kickstarter

Im sure @CAVBOSS has already considered this, but a dropship Kickstarter sure would pair well with the removed/remaining aircraft as stretch goals.... and maybe terrain as well...

That's a good idea.

It's a shame that it isn't panning out as planned. Though I wasn't going for the dropship itself, I know a lot of people were excited for it.

 

Still, in my view it was properly communicated (a key factor in many campaigns), and were getting the Pillager as a free extra.

 

The Pillager looks huge! How does it compare in size with the Enforcer?

I believe this a good idea, too. 

I have some more thoughts I'd like to share about the state of the KS, but have decided that I will wait and do an "after action report" when the KS is done, as I don't want to unduly disrupt the squad in the middle of this battle (KS).

We have (and will continue to) considered many possible future variations on what we can do next time. Every project allows us to find out what works and what doesn't. We tried a wider spread of stretch goals to appeal to a wider audience and apparently we haven't found the right mix yet... but as it sits right now we have 13 new models we will be adding to production and ultimately that's what these are about...adding new models to play with and if that's where it ends u, then I'm ok with that. We can't have two competing SGs at the end as they would just wipe each other out. I chose what I think we could reasonably expect to do.

 

The Pillager as it sits now is about 59mm, so about 4 mm taller than the Enforcer (that is sans base). That may change for final production (a tad smaller but not any bigger).

I'm in like Flint.

When the Dropship KS takes off I'll jump on that one too!

It ain't over yet! we got 8 more days to get the word out AND KSII jumped by a significant amount in its last several days! It can happen here too!

 

BIG STOMPY ROBOTS!!!

It's recovered somewhat from the drop that occurred because of people dropping their pledge amounts for the dropship that is no longer on the radar, but it hasn't fully recovered yet.  It was at $40,600 USD give or take when that announcement went out...  And it had dropped down to $38,400 USD last night.  Glad to see it's recovered somewhat though.

Back up over 40k with 20+ new backers today! that's exciting, not sure if its payday for mech-fans or what, but I'm hoping the momentum continues!

There was a signal boost email from Reaper.  I'm guessing that helped somewhat.

 

Either way, I'm glad to see those numbers rising again!

CAV KICKSTARTER 3 UPDATE! With a little over a week left, the Core Force Reward (available with only a $100 pledge) now has 48 models in it (that's a retail value of almost $300).
We are almost to the less than $2 a model level and have plenty of stretch goals to add even more. Each stretch goal ADDS 4 more models to the core force and opens up a new vehicle model as an optional reward add-on.

So check it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cavboss/talon-games-cav-strike-ops-iii

Posted a thread over on theminiaturepage hopeful it might add a bit more traffic

 

Nice to see some forward momentum again now the Autumn & winter approaches I'll be starting another new painting thread as I paint another themed Cav force from my previous KS, probably an Adon force, still deciding on colour schemes that I'll be using for each force. And continuing the 10mm City buildings thread with more buildings that will be added.
