Not something interesting me right now, but nice setting and miniatures. And good to see it got off the ground.

Those dinosaurs could be useful though.

Just noticed this one myself.

I like some of the figures, but not really all of any one faction 

I may go for a single crew, but 12 months for delivery is a bit steep - especially as he's claiming to have fully tested the production pipeline.

I'd also like to see some size comparison shots against other ranges, as it's claiming to be 35mm. Sadly, as it's a standalone product, I'm not sure how likely that is to happen.

I suspect I'll pass, but it is going well, so best of luck to the guy

 You can by single miniatures from each faction.

 I thin the extra time for getting things sorted is good as it gives him plenty of time to get it right.I am sure if things get done quickly that the April 2018 date will change.There are the two new crew groups to get into production and the rule book to be done along with the Dino's which are shown.Who know's what else will be coming.

 Another stretch goal passed now too.Profile cards for the characters.

 There will also be a free miniature which is going to be use-able in all factions.

I'd noticed that, but thought it was only in addition to the £30 pledge levels. Re-reading it, you're correct, so that makes it much more tempting.

Still a while to go, but I'll make a note to decide one way or the other nearer the time

 The Gorilla types are £15 each so you could get them if they are the one's which interest you.

 I am looking forward to seeing what other races there are to come.

It's actually the female archer from the Artifacters that looks most interesting. The female militia member looks quite promising as well. However, that becomes £2 for the pledge, £15 for the figures and £5 for p&p, which starts to get expensive.

The rest don't really fit into anything I'm working on, although some could be useful in an SF setting, eg a Rogue Stars gang. The lizard figure from the Artifacters looks quite promising for that.

[manic _miner]

 See if you know anyone else who is local to you who can add on to there pledge.

 I think the figures will have use in many different systems.

 Some really nice poses and characters in the factions so far.

 Looking forward to seeing what the free miniature will be.

I got a chance to play this at Salute this year, and all I can say is - it is awesome.

The game was cinematic, tense and exciting. I felt like I was making interesting and difficult decisions at every turn, and the sense of player agency was strong. The dice mechanics are unusual, but I think they work really well - you roll two dice each test, one to pass, the other to 'nail it' - essentially critical hits. Doubles mean you 'feat', getting that action for free. It's pretty intuitive, I had picked it up after the first game.

The characters were beautifully sculpted, and played very differently with interesting abilities - the crazy flamethrower wielding crook felt very different to the agile bow wielding huntress, who both felt very different from the giant uplifted gorillas who smashed 7 shades out of each other in a wonderful fight. Uplifted animal races are cool and different, and the setting (a tropical water world) was unique and visually appealing.

I'll be backing this at KS for at least 3 factions (I find the 'town guard' faction a bit generic looking at the moment, hopefully some new factions will be unlocked), I took a few pics although they aren't the best - I was having too much fun playing to pause for long for photography!


Awesome tropical scenery


Uplifted gorillas meet in melee madness


Hunting dinosaurs!

 Looks like it was a hit at Salute from what i have seen.

 A new mounted piece has been added as the next stretch goal.The mount is a Raptor which looks really well done and has a small Flying creature on its head.

 Just ordered palm trees from Ebay and some terrain elements too.

Looks very cool.
Will really have to think about getting in.

Have you guys seen the new Uttaraptors Stretch Goal... awesome sculpts. 

[manic _miner]

 The Uttaraptors do look great.Nice to see two different sculpts for them.Just need to find the money to add them now too .

[JayOBedlam]

Some really cool competitions going on in the final week, including painting competitions and "best location" type creative competitions where best location gets included in the final canon.

Two friends of mine shared an all in pledge, but I am not sure if I will stick to one faction
