I like the PDF rule book method, you just hit print, double sided, and "waa laa" you have an actual rule book in your hands
I used to print relevant bitz of rules myself but in this modern newfangled age of tablet computers I'm thinking of the trees. Also, you don't get a proper search function on printed matter and they don't update even as often as PDFs.

Some awesome looking minis. They hits that sweet spot between hard sci-fi and space opera. Octopus aliens are sweet!

I did not know that, so I hunted for them and then, I have to have an account with the to get them.   Since I have been getting all types of stuff since the Target data theft, I'm hesitant to establish anything right now, so my hard luck, I guess.  Personally, I like to see companies up front saying they would sell my info in any way....

Well, I thought what the hell and signed up for an account, and the Free Preview rules are not available ..

Funny, I just downloaded a set from here:

I like the miniatures, especially these:-





but, personally, I'd have no use for the rules.

Nice changes!  One question:  Some of the early bird pledges are the same as the standard pledge of the same named level.  For instance; Mission Tech is $60 for a faction set and printed rulebook (whether earlybird or not).  Am I missing something?
This is my boomstick!

Correct, unlike a lot of Kickstarters which have cheaper early bird pledges this one has different delivery dates - August for early bird pledges and October for the others - it's a way of managing the production.

Ah.  I see now.  All the ones I've backed previously had cheaper early bird packages.

We have retooled the stretch goals, offered the book up front, and unlocked all of the included minis in the Faction Core Sets. PLUS we are adding cool FREEBIES to just about every other stretch goal making the pledge levels a better and better deal as it goes along.

We are about this close --->] [<--- to making clear plastic bubble helmets available not just for our figures, but for most other figures too.



Brett and I are working on a totally new gameplay demo that details the turn sequence and gameplay mechanics that will be posted shortly.

Stay tuned!

I prefer the "get your toys faster" approach personally

I increased my pledge from one faction to two factions with the new KS. I'm getting more mini's, I'm getting a printed rule book, I'm getting free mini's that I like as Stretch Goals and there are Add-On figures that will come available that are really cool. 

Also I know the Counterblast figures are top notch as I've already been buying the ones available at the Online Store. And with this KS, you'll get your product on time as promised and the quality will be top notch.

Thanks OLeary! We appreciate the support!

I also recognize a couple of those pirate girls in your banner as sculpts of mine. Very cool!
