Massive Darkness Kickstarter is coming ... (delivering now ...!)

[Verderer]

Hows the material these are cast on by the way? Is it bendy plastic like Bones? What about mold lines, easy/hard to remove, or barely visible etc? Assuming they're the same material as Zombicide / Black Plague.

I haven't tried to paint any of them.  It's a pretty hard board game plastic (not bendy but not plastic ala GW sprues)

[Verderer]

Something like in Descent maybe, I have that one?

[Hobby Services]

Oh man...the Oni looks really damn cool. 

A dynamic pose but oh gods, that tail looks like some kind of bizarre anal sex toy.  Cannot stop laughing at it.

[Elbows]

He'll be very popular at furry conventions?

Update, the Kickstarter is in its last 50+ hours.  Just in case anyone was on the fence.  The last few updates have been pretty good - namely additional tiles, some more big beasties etc.  I think I'll stick with this one.

Watched the gameplay video and it really put me off the game. Love Z:BP but I find the mechanics in this really unispiring.

I'm really liking the next big beasty up. Good for Scifi type games as well. There are way too many nice things on Kickstarter at the moment. I'm in for 3 different ones all at the same time which I never do.

Fair enough...say.... $3,127,650.

Dammit...already at $3,297,865

I need some people to back out!  Just a couple thousand!

It's the same material as the zombicie / zombicde black plague stuff. Bendy but stiffer than bones generally are. The bigger figures will be like the ratbomination trollbomniation or abomination alpha.

Not it's not like the Fantasy Flight stuff really. Nor the stuff Flying Frog uses. Both are a little more firm and brittle though still kind of bendy.

These are more like umm...like those big light bendy brightly colored plastic pieces you get in older mass market toy-store board games or in party favor bags only molded way better with more detail. And the detail can be quite crisp.

It's cheap bendy toy plastic like in those change fed bubble vendors and such, only somehow used for good instead of the lowest saddest tier of crapulonics.

3,541,237 is my bet 

Looking good for me. If I get it exactly right I've earned myself a beer. If I get it wrong, I'll drown my sorrows with a beer. win win really.
I was hoping that the 3.5mil mark would have been something more exciting.
I pledged for the black plague cards as well even though I don't have the game. I'll probably get it some time when it's on clearance somewhere (which it was but I was too late to get it  )

$3,560,642.

Darn close!  And they gave us the dreaded Unicorn...

[Verderer]

That unicorn with rainbow tail....

Anyways, in the end I pledged on this one for the base box. Lot of good stuff there even if I didn't care for the actual game. There were a couple of pretty uninspired figs in the end, I thought Lord Tusk especially was a bit silly billy. But all in all pretty nice loot.

[psyberwyche]

I pledged for the core box and the Zombicide Black Plague crossover. For me, the unicorn almost ruined the campaign a bit - I know it was just a bit of fun, and some last-minute fan service, but the game was crying out for more cards to make the gameplay more varied, and some more mobs to make the dungeon denizens more varied... People were asking for these quite basic things right from the start, and CMON sort of ignored the calls for them and gave us an endless procession of large monsters, that all got quite samey in the end.

Anyway, despite that gripe, the value of just the core box and the first few KS exclusives alone is rally good, and the ZBP crossover pack means I get the undead mobs I wanted in the form of zombies and necromancers. Plus, there are a load of models that I don't want that will fetch a pretty price on eBay, such is the way of CMON resales (that unicorn is the first one up against the wall) No regrets backing this one.
