Logistically an extra complication, and discouraging for those who miss it. *Maybe* a non-figure sort of thing that makes people feel good but isn't going to trigger resentment. Probably not worth it. I don't think any early bird exclusives are a good idea, either. Need to find something that incentivizes early pledging, but doesn't breed too much resentment, and also doesn't make logistics any harder. It's a fine line. That's why a modest shipping credit came to mind - not enough that some people wind up with free shipping, but not so little it doesn't incentivize. Another idea could be something that delivers electronically that everyone gets, but first day/week backers get soon after the campaign ends, while everyone else has to wait until the pledge manager closes. Or maybe the incentive should be for everyone who backs BEFORE the last 24-48 hours. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just realized that the 1" base pack they're adding is "approximately 50 bases"! That's huge! Ok, his name really should just be Chonkodar the Cruel... 😄 Edited April 12, 2022 by Chris Palmer 3 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, I like that there seems to be a concerted effort to find productive solutions. It feels rare. Perhaps I’ve just been hanging out in the wrong forums. While I’m personally thrilled with the core set, I think an initial offering of some big add-on could have driven more early pledges. Even one with a distant stretch goal. Like “here’s the core, and at US$1million we’ll unlock this gargantuan Gnomish Zeppelin!” Give backers an immediate big ticket item to want, they’ll talk their friends into pledging. I like the suspense of hidden goals, but the carrot/stick thing only works if the donkey can see the carrot. Yes, I realize I am the donkey in this analogy. Hee-haw, y’all. Thanks… now I really want a gargantuan Gnomish Zepplin. *sad Gnome face* 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Khan Artist Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) I have never bought nor painted a Reaper Dragon. I like Chonky; he's at a great price point and available as an add-on, he's a nice size--big without being intimidating to paint. He might just be "the one" for me. EDIT: she's a girl and her story is great! She also ties into the Hakir/Egyptian set, so hopefully the treasure chest in her story is part of that set. Scattered encounters for all!

Even a One-Gnome Blimp would be great, especially if the basket could hold any figure rather than just having the pilot be part of the sculpt. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battleblimp, scout balloons, artillery dirigibles. I think I've found my next overly-ambitious building project... 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proctor showed off a test print that he is painting up, and that thing is MASSIVE. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrift Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I like Chonky. I think I’ll be adding her to the choices. Though, I seriously doubt that those wings could support her mass. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
