Is Reaper going to continue the post KS ordering they have done the first 4 KS? Some stuff I am iffy on and wanting to see the physical models before pledging. Plus it would allow more time for me to get funds.

Just be sure to pledge a bit of money, $14 is a nice number, Now. Pledging something now means you get the KS price levels.

 

If you don’t do that, there is an upcharge of 20%. So one $14 Add-on choice would then be $16.80.

From what i understand, the wizkids prepainted storm giant is between 6-7 inches tall. The GF9 official collectors series resin storm giant is: about 5.5 inches tall to top of head (without the curve thing on the helmet) and without base.  He would be taller but his legs are spread wider in a battle stance. if standing straight, he's around 6 inches or a bit more. With the head frill thing, he's near 7 inches tall. 

 

This bones one is 4.72 inches.

"No way," I thought (despite owning 3 of them... So I should know...). Yep, the horsehair crest on his helmet is just over 6 inches tall. 

 

 

Maybe it'll be on par with the old D&D mini from Giants of Legend (IIRC).... She's 4.5" tall (though partly due to propping her helmet up on her head. 

 

From the size you quoted, it might be on scale w/ the Storm Giant coming out in Pathfinder's Legendary Adventures set later this month.

Makes me sad how short the storm is.... Looks great though.

Isn't that only if you join after the KS ends? If you were in the KS, at any level, the prices are unchanged?

This is my understanding as well.

That is a bit disappointing....hmmm
Seems reaper favors Pathfinder me thinks...
Pathfinder is getting a new huge sized storm and cloud giant and they are so much smaller.  Really disappointing.  Might be able to use him for an "empyrean" but might be still too small.

I think Reaper tries to aim between the two - so it can serve as either Large or Huge depending on the GM.

 

I'm sticking with PF, but I think Megan - currently snoozing - is maybe planning on starting a 5e game for her Bounty Board. (For such a small person she can take up an amazingly large amount of room on the bed - and I don't want to wake her up. She sprawls. )

I believe it was mentioned by Ed that if you buy into the kickstart AFTER its over.  You dont get the Kickstarter prices, BUT if you do buy in.  You can make multiple orders while the pledge manager is open at Kickstarter prices.  
Is my understanding.  

Also supposedly there might be a window to order if you were late to the kickstarter but prices would be slightly higher.

If you sign up now, before the main KS ends, even for $1, you can still order during the later phase at the prices we see now. If you would wait to sign up until after the initial KS span, then you can still order but will pay a 20% premium.

4.25" isn't in between.  Thats specifically Pathfinder size...

Whats worse is all the pics of the storm giant make him look super tall.

Okay, my mistake for not stating I am confirmed doing core. I am backing this now. So there is only an upcharge if you do not back at all before the campaign ends. They didn't change the rules that even if you back now, the post KS fundraising prices change?

I just saw that Kicktraq now has enough data to project a final value for the campaign of $3.3 - $5.5M.  It says experimental, but does anyone know how accurate it tends to be?  If this thing goes to $5.5M, Reaper’s going to need about 40 more stretch goals than they’ve ever needed before.

 

 

 

Kicktraq doesn't account for the initial surge nor the last-minute surge.  It simply goes off the most recent trend.  As an example, it forecast on Day 1 that this KS would do in excess of $30 million. I believe Reaper aims for about 1 stretch-goal per business day, and Reaper the last campaign was run very successfully this way, so I'd say it's probably going to be about the same.  I'll say low-to-mid-3, since that keeps up with the past campaigns.  And with luck I'll be pleasantly surprised.

You are good. Once the initial KS ends in 25 days, you will still be able to up your pledge amount later with more stuff at today's pricing.
