Modiphius (who brought you Achtung! Cthulhu) have just funded the return of the Dark Legion with the 3rd Edition Kickstarter for Mutant Chronicles the roleplaying game. We're working with Prodos to develop a whole range of roleplaying focus characters, villains and creatures which will also come with stat cards for the Warzone skirmish game.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg
The Mutant Chronicles Kickstarter is a re-boot of the amazing techno-fantasy roleplaying game from the same team who produced the successful Achtung! Cthulhu Kickstarter.
(http://www.modiphius.com/uploads/1/4/0/6/14062642/9847229_orig.png)
Mutant Chronicles was one of the bigger names in gaming in the 1990's with the Doom Trooper collectible card game translated in to 16 languages, three boardgames, two video games, the massive Warzone miniatures game and the Mutant Chronicles 1st and 2nd Edition roleplaying games with more recently a Hollywood movie, Fantasy Flight Games pre-painted miniature game and last year the reboot of Warzone by Prodos Games. Watch our video for examples of the stunning art from the world.
The Mutant Chronicles story took you on this full throttle dieselpunk sci-fi ride through a solar system beset by corporate intrigue and the invasion of a terrible dark alien force. With technology failing due to the insidious effects of the Dark Symmetry humankind must fight back against the Dark Legion hordes whilst dealing with in-fighting and conspiracy from within.
The Solar System is a roaring mayhem of death and war. The surfaces of the inner planets have been swept clean by the violent onslaught of the dark legions storming hordes of Nepharites, Razides, Pretorian Stalkers and Undead Legionaries. In the enormous cities of the far and distant future, heretics devoted to the destruction of humankind stalk the dark backstreets and gloomy alleys spreading their teachings of greed, jealously and war [From the 2nd Edition Back Cover]

We unlocked the Imperial Guide Book (http://"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/comments"), and announced the core book is getting another 100 pages of gorgeous colour hardcover when we fit the next Stretch - check out the new Heretic minis below which are part of one of the sets of 3-5 new figures being produced by Prodos Games (Warzone) for the game.

Congrats on getting a feeding frenzy going... Or maybe you are just keeping it up from WzR but regardless 8)
Neither the RPG stuff nor the heretics minis aren't my cuppa unfortunately, but I'll keep watching in case something of interest crops up among the upcoming miniatures.
-
Thanks there's quite a few minis to come so who knows, will keep posting them here :-)
-
Well I also backed Achtung Cthulhu! and have to say that the after KS Support of modiphius is one of the best encountered!
You get pdfs up front, most items are on time and the product itself is simply splendid!
So I jumped again into this KS! 8)

Thanks so much for the kind words Agis!
We just unlocked the GM Screen and an image of a new Creature: The Castigator and the Ronin RPG character mini - NEXT: Capitol Guide! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/739594 (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/739594)

You can never have enough dice right? So tonight's Kickstarter (http://"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/744740") update will give you some cool new Mutant Chronicles dice to collect
(http://www.modiphius.com/uploads/1/4/0/6/14062642/7374656_orig.jpg)
Tomorrow we're unveiling the Marionette - the twisted corrupted cabling controlled by the Dark Symmetry - one of the first of a new set of miniatures!
On tonight's update we also chat with Mischa Thomas, the Swedish writer of the Dark Legion material about what we can expect to see of the Dark Apostles in the core book and the forthcoming Dark Soul book!

We just unlocked the full 248 page Dark Soul Guide and our latest Mutant Chronicles Kickstarter update (http://"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/747986") showed off the first of the cool new character concept art of Detective Vance Ryder of Luna Police Department by Jeff Porter with some intro fiction. I think he's going to make a great miniature what do you think? We also announced our awesome Kickstarter exclusive of the Luna PD badge (made by Campaign Coins in Australia) plus a Luna PD Exclusive custom d20 for £20. Whilst Luna PD is technically under the auspices of Capitol is it in fact staffed by people from all corporations and is a focus of investigations during the Dark Symmetry Period…

Agents are traditional but nice 8)
Shame they are going to be giants compared to the majority of my miniatures... All the same, if I wanted to pledge for just one miniature set how much should I pledge? Options I can think of:
1 -- £15 + £p&p
2 -- £1 + £15 + £p&p
3 -- £5 + £15 + £p&p

Hi if you just wanted one set yes you'd pledge for the £5 Pledge and choose a £15 Add On for a miniature set, plus postage will depend on where you are in the world (but with the light weight of resin minis it's the cheapest band)
However for £40 (and the same postage as they're so light) you'll get 3 sets of minis with the Miniatures Adept pledge.

Always assuming there'll be three sets of minis I would want to have from this KS. We are currently at about 1 to 1.5, but the £5 participation fee for anything less than 3 sets is a bit steep so am not going to get on board yet.

Actually I think you could get on board for just the £1 contribution, it just means you won't get credits in the book or the digital wallpaper so if that's not an issue then it's fine. You can just choose the £1 pledge and bump it up by what you want in minis.
Okay so the latest is that the Beta Test produced by Jason Little has gone out to core Playtesters now, and we'll be widening to the full playtest group over the coming days before the release of the Open Beta on RPGNow. In last night's update (http://"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/754978")we unveiled some of the content plan for the Luna and Dark Legion content in the core book along with some awesome A1 canvas poster prints of the classic Paul Bonner art.
Check out the custom Q-Workshop Hit Location dice we're producing - the final selection of sides is to be confirmed but this is what they'll look like!

Here's the Brotherhood Investigator sculpt (actually a more detailed one will be posted in a couple of days) we unveiled tonight (http://"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/756612")and some Mishima art

Technically it would work obviously. I do believe KS allows you to pledge any amount, even £0.01. What you get with a given amount is another thing entirely.

Yes you're right as long as you aren't bothered about any of the pledges you can still go for the Add Ons.
We unlocked the awesome Brotherhood book today (http://"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/posts/761967") and unveiled more of Whitestar's warriors - click the link for the latest one!

That's now 1700 pages of PDF's for the PDF Master Pledge for just £40 :-)

If you like it you've still got 24 hours to get on board - there's now 1800 pages and growing in the PDF Master pledge for £40 / $64. Bit insane really.
