RAFM Airship Pirates New Release - Kickstarter Updates Here

[thebinmann]

uh, how does that work?

[ced1106]

You just make a pre-order of the Airship Pirates on the catalog.

Airship Pirates pre-order: http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RAF&Category_Code=ASP&view_perpage=all

This is also a great way to order individual mini's if you didn't want the whole crew!

Oh, frabulous day, the announcement sez July 2014! Shipped retroactively!!!

I'm sure I'm getting great enjoyment with my figures!!!!!!

I'm sorry, what is this 'calendar' you mention? Is it anything like the 'spellcheck' to which you earlier made reference? Do they come from the mysterious Spare Oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of War Drobe?

 

Do wonder about the second marine pose; we DID get both, right? Any plans to add to the pre-order list?

Also, as I'm a noob who fears missing some damn memo, how soon will we be being dunned for the pledges, and seeing a "survey" (?) of our choices?

Mind you, not quite 'shut up and take my money', but I AM envisioning the cartoon.

Finally, just to add to the living heck your life is becoming, if someone wanted some of the figs already in production, could they offer to pay shippage on just those?

Customers: a tangled web unto themselves...

The Airship Pirates Role Playing game is about time traveling Airships...
Just a typo, thanks for pointing it out.

Yes the second Imperial Marine Pose is part of the Kickstarter.
No plans yet.

Also, as I'm a noob who fears missing some damn memo, how soon will we be being dunned for the pledges, and seeing a "survey" (?) of our choices?

Survey will be out this week!

Finally, just to add to the living heck your life is becoming, if someone wanted some of the figs already in production, could they offer to pay shippage on just those?

Yes this will occur with the survey, requiring you to send some money via the website. Our current shipping charges are $8.05 to the USA and $18 Overseas.

Brilliant!

Doug

Edit: I probably embarrassed myself by saying second marine instead of two for reduced. Is it same pose, but arm can be differently positioned?

[Mitchelxen]

but arm can be differently positioned?

The second Imperial Marine will be a separate sculpt based off the first pose, so it will be cheaper to produce because we had to just about give these figures away, and it will be up to the sculptor to choose posing and details. We have several sculptors which are brilliant at this. That may be "who are brilliant at this" I am not sure about the grammar but I am sure you will hold me accountable on it 

[The_Beast]

I am imbued with the power to make men paranoid! Where's the mustache-twirling, mua-ha-ha emoticon?!?

You left out 'whom are brilliant'.

Doug

Edit: Sorry, couldn't help myself. 'Whom' would be wrong... 

[The_Beast]

To my forum brethren who participated in this, an apology. As complex as the pledge I was planning to make, the missing tankettes from the survey, the options pre-release on the RAFM site, it will be a bit before I sort it all out.

Best wishes to you all on this day, and I know I'm thankful a heck of a lot of loot incoming!

So were you the backer mentioned in Update 30? Thanks for joining!

The Air Pirates pre-order is still available! Pre-order figures at up to HALF retail!

No, no, if you notice my nattering nabob-ism above, you'll know I joined fairly early.

Honestly, though, I kept adding to the pledge, that I'm still working out what I planned, and what I should add via the web site, and if I should pay the extra to have some delivered now, that I'll need to sit down with *horrors* pen and paper to figure it all out, and that's best done at work tomorrow.

Mine was pretty straitforward.  A simple add-on.  No early shipping for me.  Half the fun of some of these kickstarters is the box-o-stuff that arrives on my door a couple of months after I've forgotten it was coming.

[The_Beast]

Okay, done, but I'm already apologizing to the folk at RAFM for serious confusion on that. HOPE I got it comprehensible if not right.

So you lot can stop complaining about me! Oh, wait, haven't heard a peep... 

Do want to point out that it's spelled 'straightforward'; don't want Mitchelxen to think I'm playing favorites, though I DID assume it was some Freudian slip feeling you didn't free yourself of the straitjacket sufficiently in buying. 

Half the fun of some of these kickstarters is the box-o-stuff that arrives on my door a couple of months after I've forgotten it was coming.

Agreed, and is my experience with most orders, eBay or manufacturer, coming out of UK. Have to say, though, there are disappointing exceptions ordering from GZG or Brigade Models. Jon's wormhole is legendary, but I suspect Tony has optioned a timeshare...

Still, some of the already available as part of the KS will be gifts (tho' not necessarily Xmas; don't want a misunderstanding with my meaning), and no sense making the lads and lasses wait 'til next year.

I DO sound too giddy, don't I? Given my survey 'add-on' was about half again of the original pledge, my Grinch side must have bust a gasket.

Doug

[ced1106]

Not over yet! Only $54 needed to break that final Stretch Goal!

Okay, you found the fifty-four smackaroons. What the heck am I going to do with a penquin with a mini-gun?

Pigtails with ax is fetching, though, and for so many 'other genre' uses!

Must.

Be.

Strong.

Doug

Do the gun-nun and girl with axe have some special place in the Airship Pirates universe?  Neither seems particularly steampunk or notably useful for gaming the genre.
