Well, the $330,000 goal has just been broken!
So a quick summary of what is being offered seemed like a good idea to me, and I hope it's helpful to at least one person!
Every normal set ($80) has been upgraded with:
- Plastic counters
- Alternate Vanguard Trooper sculpt
- Alternate Strain Phase 1 Sculpt
- Barker Zosa, an elite heavy weapons Vanguard character with two weapon options
- Extra downloadable campaign
In addition to the above, every Biohazard set ($100) now ships with 31 extra free miniatures:
- A resin limited edition Kara
- 12 Additional Vanguard troopers
- 12 Additional Strain Phase 1 and Phase 2
- 2 Additional Phase 3 Brimstone
- 2 Additional Phase 3 Scythe Witch
- 1 Additional AI Drone
- 1 Additional Grendlr
- 1 Additional Cthonian
- 6 Faction dice
- 1 Painting DVD in which Mike & Ali show you how to paint your BfA figs
Each Biohazard set gets the above, so if you opt for a bigger pledge that is multiple BH sets (for example "We've Got Movement!" is two BH sets), then you also get the corresponding extra number of goodies above (in in the previous example, that's sixty two extra free models, two painting DVDs, etc...).
There's also a number of optional extras that can be added to a pledge:
-
Dice Pack: Six dice (three Strain, three Vanguard) + $10.00 per set
-
Terrain Pack: Seventy pieces + $30.00
-
Dr Susan Ridley: Plastic fig, and also includes the infected Strain version for free + $10.00
-
Tech Officer Niven Banks: Plastic fig, and also includes the infected Strain version for free + $10.00
-
Sergeant Ramirez: Plastic fig, will also include the infected Strain version for free if next stretch goal is hit, which is $390K + $10.00
-
Glow in the Dark Strain pack: 17 GitD plastic figs + $30.00
-
Opticamo Vanguard pack: 15 clear plastic figs including the four main characters from the base game + $30.00
-
Lights Out campaign pack: GitD Strain and Opticamo Vanguard packs together + $50.00
-
Tile Pack: An extra set of all the tiles from the base game, including the transit cars + $25.00
_____________________________________________________
Phew! I hope I got it all, but somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, the short of it is that for every Biohazard set ($100 + $25 shipping) you get 82 miniatures... Or to put it another way, it works out at about $1.50 per fig.
I think that's pretty good for anyone looking to split a set or two with a friend in order to build a Sci-fi force for another game, and of course you still get the rest of the BfA game too.
For anyone wondering, the plastic that will be used is the same as that used for Warmachine and Hordes models (lets hope the mould lines are better with these!), and is similar (if not the same) to the "Plastic Resin" that Mantic uses for some of their figures.
I have no idea if this will the same for the GitD or "Opticamo" models, although I suspect they will be in different plastic materials.
