New Blackwater Gulch Kickstarter!
« on: November 14, 2012, 01:05:23 AM »


We just launched a new Kickstarter campaign for Blackwater Gulch! Check it out!

Blackwater Gulch is a tabletop skirmish game based on the Wild West. We launched our first successful Kickstarter campaign for the game back in March. Now that the models we produced are about to be shipped to previous backers, we are launching this new campaign, Rebels & Reinforcements, to fund even more miniatures! We have several all new gangs planned, along with new 3-man “Support Packs” that will expand upon our existing gangs. We're also offering lots of new bonus figures, custom dice, laser cut building kits and more!

For more information on all of the new models and other goodies we have planned, please visit the Kickstarter campaign page.

And lastly but not least, for those of you who might be interested in the status of the previous campaign, you can find all the info there too, in Update #1.

Thanks!

Very tempting. I've played the game a few times and I do like it...just have to decide which gangs I want!

Shame about the timing - I backed the original and would probably have gone for this too, but:

1.  Have just spent lots on the Freebooter Indiegogo campaign.
2.  It's getting close to Christmas.
3.  They really should have waited until people got the figures from the first campaign before starting another.

Yup, backed the first but waiting to see what the quality is like before I'd even consider backing a second.

Received my figs yesterday. They are AWESOME. Some of the best figs I've ever gotten. The quality is there. The wait, kind of annoying.
Contact Tim directly. He did well for me.

An aggressive sales goal, but I like that "Tranquility" Crew...  ;)

Thanks folks!

We actually had the Tranquility Crew at the bottom of the list for $90k, but so many people wanted it that we moved it up to 40k :) I think we'll get there in the end. If we don't, they'll still get made just not as a part of the Kickstarter batch but soon after. If we do make it, we have a whole "Tier 2" list of new goals with 3-man support packs for each gang (old and new) and even more bonus figures based on Infamous Personages :)

We just did an update to the campaign page and changed around our stretch goals in light of what a lot of backers were requesting and to make the bonus items unlock sooner to give the higher level backers a much better value, and the lower level backers a lot more options to choose from :)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/springboard/blackwater-gulch-rebels-and-reinforcements

$5k - Kurt Wyatt Bonus Figure (unlocked now)
$10k - Widowmakers Gang Starter Set
$15k - Dr Kilmer Bonus Figure
$20k - Tranquility Crew Gang Starter Set
$25k - Wayne Duke Bonus Figure
$30k - Flying Zarconis Gang Starter Set
$35k - Nevada Dave Bonus Figure
$40k - Secret Fist Gang Starter Set
$45k - Father Al Bonus Figure
$50k - Dockside Drifters Gang Starter Set
$55k - Marshall Stewart Bonus Figure
$60k - Wilde's Rangers Gang Starter Set

So we just alternate every $5000 1 bonus figure then 1 gang.  We also moved the Tranquility Crew up to $20,000 just because so many people have been asking for it. I didn't expect that, I kind of tacked that one on at the end at first just for fun, turns out it's the one everyone wants most :)

This, the first figures are all really well done & Tim is excellent with returning emails & such. Plan to back this one as well!
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Thanks :)

I just got the sculpt for Kurt Wyatt today :) He was done by Brother Vinni. Vinni will also be doing Dr. Kilmer and Wayne Duke since they will eventually be sold in 1 set together as the "Hired Guns: Lawmen Support Pack" :)

Here's some pics, 1 with some other minis for comparison and one extreme closeup.

We're funded!!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/springboard/blackwater-gulch-rebels-and-reinforcements

We also changed up the stretch goals a bit and unlocked 3 new bonus figures and a 2nd gang :) So now at the Gunsligner level or higher you can get 8 free figures and 6 dice :) As soon as we hit $15,000 we'll unlock Wayne Duke and that will make it 9 bonus figures. We also added some all new bonus guys to the list now too :)

I love Kurt Wyatt. And yes i love the way Brother Vinni sculpts his minis. They are so awesome, i bought some of his postnuclear range minis.

@Necros: I am currently not a backer yet, but i am seriously thinking about pledging.

The minis are awesome. What i am missing is a campaign system in the rules. This is maybe something to add to the rules later. Especially the Weird West setting is for an old Deadlands roleplayer like me a fascinating option.

I am working on a Fallout mod and all these Western style minis are great for setting like Fallout New Vegas.

I love your work!
Please help me with my Fallout rules, picture heavy!!
