Torn Armor Kickstarter begins Sunday 3/3/13!

[Jack Cull]

So not only is there the collaboration with Reaper miniatures (with the FREE Clockwork Dragon included with all the other rewards at pledges $75 and up) but there is ALSO the Winged Hussar unit that has been unlocked as a "mini stretch goal" (a stretch goal reached before funding!)

Check him out here!


AND!

The 30k "mini stretch goal" has been revealed as well!

In case you guys missed it:

Preview of the 40k Stretch Goal!
The Maychian Akongo Felis and the Sisk Syntagma Tribuni Angusticlavii. They will be free to the "all stretch goal" pledge level, but will also be available as add-ons.

Both are leaders, both are powerful, and both inspire the troops!

Wrong thread.

[RogerB]

miniatures look nice granted and was suitably interested, until i seen it was $25 to ship outside the US, kinda steep for us across the pond IMO, otherwise i'm about to read the rules .pdf before making more judgments

The latest update includes news that shipping is now free worldwide. [url]http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1471855235/torn-armor/posts[/url]

Also, if you check the various podcasts there are little bits of info and promo codes. This includes a promo code that was to get free shipping but now will mean you get extra $$ to spend on add-ons. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwJdzwM5af4[/url] That's a pretty long one but if you don't have time to get through it all the promo code is in the last 20 minutes.

Lots of big updates on the Torn Armor kickstarer!

We've reached the mini-stretch goal of 40k, so the Akongo and Tribuni hero units have been added!
They are included in the "All Stretch Goals" pledge level, but will be available as add-ons too.

We have introduced a 3rd Behemoth unit! A gnomish clockwork magic assault platform called "Moriarty's Bell"!
The concept sketches for it can be seen here: [URL="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1471855235/torn-armor/posts/434295"]http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1471855235/torn-armor/posts/434295[/URL]

and... we now have FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

[eldargal]

Interesting, free international shipping is a big incentive to pledge now. Also, not enough female tabletop gaming creators, want to encourage more of that personally.

[RogerB]

@eldargal. Yes, the free shipping has been made possible by having a warehouse made available in the UK so that a pallet can be sent which is a lot cheaper than sending individual parcels. That's thanks to Tor Gaming. Alyssa is a great gaming freak and the Torn World has been in existence in an RPG setting for decades now with some of it available to buy for the pathfinder rules. So there's plenty of fluff there for those that like a good back story.

On to updates. Four character minis have been added to the stretch goal pledges: two goblin airship pirates, Telza the gnome and the Blackwater Mage. These will be in resin.

At 45K two more maps will be added as well as four more terrain tiles: walls, barricades, rocks and trees.

At 50k small siege weapons to be added for the Sisk and Maychians.

At 55k, custom dice to be available as add-ons as well as additional unit cards.

At 60k unlock more units and variable miniatures (heads, arms, poses, etc).

Extra dice have been added as add-ons.

A new pledge level for the core miniatures, the two minotaurs and all stretch goals and the minotaurs have been made available as add-ons.

More value is being added all the time really.

[RogerB]

Several things to update here.

The first and biggest is Torn Armor has reached and passed it's funding goal! But there's more time to push it further to reach more stretch goals and unlocks.

With that in mind here are a few of those goals.

At 50k a siege weapon, Ballista with 3 crew for the Sisk and a Hwacha with 3 crew for the Maychians were added to the stretch goal pledges and as add-ons.

At 55k custom faction dice will become available and variable unit cards will be available so you can vary the units more. "The units in Torn Armor are "named," they are not generic units, but specific named creatures and people. What does this mean? Well that you could have another hoplite unit with slightly different abilities! So we are going to provide additional unit cards so you can field veteran versions of the core units (of course, each will cost additional gold to field in the battles). "

At 60k variable poses will be unlocked to go with the different unit cards. Also a special Clockwork Dragon scenario and map will be added.

At 65k 3D resin terrain will be unlocked.

There's also a collaboration with Boardgamegeek in the form of a contest to win a free copy of the game. [url]http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/...t-ends-apr-2nd[/url]

Another collaboration is that at pledges of $35 or more you get a free set of paper terrain courtesy of Fat Dragon Games.

And another thing... The third behemoth unit is unlocked available for $40 and stands at approximately 120mm tall. it's also available with the other two behemoths for a total of $100.

The Maychian skirmish golem has been reduced in price to $15

[RogerB]

Okay, it's in to the last 48 hours and the 60K stretch goal has been achieved. So that's the variable poses and the map and scenario for the dragon.

At 65k 3D resin terrain will be available as add-ons, an example is this:



The Battle for An Gearesdan will determine which of the below units are added to the stretch goals or as an add-on.



At 75K these are added to the stretch goal pledges.


Currently this is what you get at the different levels of pledges.

[eldargal]

Glad this is well over 60k, for a while I was worried it wouldn't meet the funding goal at all.
