See here for info.
It may be of interest to some people, looks like a good deal........but
Im out . for various reasons.
1. it will probably contain plastic-resin figures, this material was invented by an evil person, nuff said 2. it will probably take a year to be released. 3. No one else at the club plays KoW ( not that i know off anyway) 4. i will NEVER paint them all and they will sit on the shelf until eBay beckons.
ofc , thats just me, good luck if it is for you.

In answer to your points: 1. Dunno 2. Mantic are actually pretty swept up at delivering their Kickstarters. A LOT more swept up than Mongoose are! 3. I still prefer 15mm/6mm for big battles, so not for me. 4. Let me know when you Fleabay them, I might just take a look! DW

Just checked, the release date for the Mantic kicker is July 2015, so 8 months

What a lot of people forget is that with Kickstarter you are not 'pre-ordering' a product, you are effectively a venture capitalist investing in a non-existent project to allow it to get off the ground. When you pre-order something it's normally a product that is in the final stages f production. With a KS, the project is nowhere near as complete. That's what you money pays for, and your reward is lots of toys...

The more I look at this, the more tempted I am, but is it worth investing in if no-one here plays it?

I was looking at it, but as isaid, its probably got that plastic-resin hidden i there somewhere , and its aweful stuff. Ido like the different "style" of models/armies, but its 28mm

Yeah, I think I'm just suffering from "Ooh! Shiny!" syndrome while I should be hard at work!

Yeah , i had the ooh shiny, loads of models, free stuff! feeling, but then when you think about it. More scenery, more storage, more cost to have them painted (potentially), i just cant do it. Ican can get 2000pts of 6mm and have it painted for the amount would want to spend.
Just my personal views ofc

Agreed. I just have to find a 6mm painter that you haven't loaded up so I can get my stuff done!
Or I could paint them myself. Sorry a moment of madness there!

Rofl I think i am going to go the Fernando route in future. I think they will turn around painting within an allotted period of time. There are now four "painters" that owe me stuff

Don't blame me - I did not say Fernando
As soon as I heard Fernando
I saw troops fighting with drums and guns
Is the Rio Grandee on route to Waterloo?

Finally
bringing this back on topic --- boo hoo
I played a demo game of this at a show some 5 years ago. It is a clean simple game showing its ex GW employee pedigree. Was it warmaster - well sought of, was it like anything else out there, sought of. If you want to give some kids a starter game set for Christmas perfect.
what my friend in Oz said (its big down there apparently) Mantic seem to have their market
So what is going to be so new in a kick starter for an established game?
It is also funded 8,36 times over with 6 days to go

If this kickstarter had happened a few years ago, i would hav jumped straight in, but now ive decided not to do the "its gona get updated every few years" and also to downsize and streamline the gamessizes i play etc etc. I will manage not to "back" it.
But i do like the style of armies, and that they are "different" from other armies out there.
