Transcript
- 0:02My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
- 0:04I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
- 0:08It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
- 0:11fake hammer. Oh.
- 0:13A fake? Yeah.
- 0:14Whoa. As I say, Dick.
- 0:18Welcome to episode 156 of the Allegiance podcast.
- 0:21And as we get closer to the end of the Mythic Legions, the
- 0:25role-playing game Kickstarter, this episode is gonna focus on
- 0:29all the updates for the past week.
- 0:30A lot of stuff has been revealed and we're now in the
- 0:33homestretch. We got just pretty much over a
- 0:35week to go until the Kickstarter closes.
- 0:39So exciting times, man. What do you think?
- 0:43Yes, yes, I'm excited. I'm I'm hoping everything gets
- 0:48unlocked. I think if people haven't backed
- 0:49now is the time. But yeah, don't leave it till
- 0:54the end the last day. And rich large box of pre-orders
- 1:00that arrived in your house today, but you're you're not
- 1:03talking about them tonight. I'm not, no.
- 1:05My rising Suns all in arrived earlier along with five extra
- 1:08figures, so it was a big old box.
- 1:11But I was so professional and busy preparing for our podcast
- 1:14site on a topic that we're now not doing.
- 1:16That's that I didn't actually open them.
- 1:18So that's that's something I can do to start I.
- 1:22Knew you were salty when we when we made the editorial decision
- 1:26just before we started recording.
- 1:28Oh. Well, not salty.
- 1:28I'm not salty. Not at all.
- 1:32Flaming pepperoni, no. No, it's fine.
- 1:37At least I've done the work so I don't need to worry.
- 1:39About exactly that. That large box will entertain
- 1:43you this weekend or whenever you get the time.
- 1:45It would learn to send me as soon as I can get out of work
- 1:47tomorrow. There you go.
- 1:52So Rich's impressions on the in hand Rising Suns probably next
- 1:56step. So then, yeah, you'll at least
- 1:59tell us if the Seven Mile were talking crap or not.
- 2:04Yeah, I mean, if people hoping that I'm going to be celebrating
- 2:07Barbarians, I'm not before I even open it, I'm not.
- 2:10So just so we're just clear. How many did you order from Big
- 2:13Bad this week? I ordered three Vikings from
- 2:17being bad. There was no Barbarians ordered.
- 2:19Thank you very much. Which I was going to say very
- 2:25much feels like the Aerithea wave at the moment on Big Bad,
- 2:28doesn't it? In and out of stock like.
- 2:30Crazy before. When was it you, John, that said
- 2:33that they were back in stock on our chat group?
- 2:35Yes, it was me, yeah. And I was like and.
- 2:38Then I was like oh sorry, dived off and obviously that was
- 2:42before a lot of the Americans are awake so munched again. 3
- 2:45Broaders and a couple more Yoshanis.
- 2:48And they all had 24 in stock, you know, you know the, that's
- 2:52the kind of eh, that's the maximum big bad will show you.
- 2:56But when you see 24, you think, OK, they got loads stuck at them
- 2:58because it generally doesn't go down below 24 for a long time.
- 3:03And eh, then we had this picture here, which was all the ones
- 3:06that have sold out, mostly the barbarian looking ones.
- 3:09Rich, I have to say. It just shows people idiots.
- 3:13It's just. Well, you're responsible here of
- 3:17a brother of younger is gone again, so you know.
- 3:20Well, I don't know if you guys noticed, but they started
- 3:22putting buying limits on very quickly.
- 3:23So I'm wondering if somebody went in and just bought like
- 3:25100? Yeah, well.
- 3:27Two or three different ones straight away think that I can
- 3:28flip these. Well, the Cabal will be very
- 3:31happy to have them flip them, you know, that's what they seem
- 3:34to allow. Whereas I'm thinking a couple of
- 3:36brooders would make a rather good base bodies for some dogs.
- 3:40So. Bare arms, though, I mean, you
- 3:44know, but what are you going to do with that?
- 3:45I can work around that, don't worry.
- 3:49The dogs don't have human fleshed on human.
- 3:51Flesh. No, they don't know.
- 3:52Caucasian fleshed on that would look weird.
- 3:54I can work around. But yeah, what do you what do
- 3:57you think about this whole thing of I think it's kind of healthy
- 4:01in that, you know, it makes people sit up and pay attention
- 4:06when they're ordering the future waves.
- 4:08And yeah, you know, and I believe that some retailers now
- 4:14have been offered, I assume by the horsemen to, you know, extra
- 4:18pre-orders of the future waves. So EIN smile the last G Conway,
- 4:23maybe the the even 1, not the most recent G Conway, the
- 4:28previous one, the the reign of the beast.
- 4:32So yeah, I think that's interesting.
- 4:35Maybe people if you're, if you're thinking if you're on the
- 4:37fence on some of those, maybe lock them in at your retailer
- 4:41now, otherwise they just won't get produced in the numbers.
- 4:44And then, yeah, we end up in this situation where?
- 4:47You can't get them or you're paying a.
- 4:48Fortune to somebody, Lots of things.
- 4:53Now I still think that, you know, obviously horsemen will
- 4:55have these as shows. The problem is then when they're
- 5:00sold out at retailers and this is what used to happen.
- 5:02First Legions can I went to, there was always guys with the
- 5:05massive carts and they would go to the Horseman table.
- 5:09Anything that wasn't available at retail, they'd scoop up as
- 5:12much as they were allowed to. And then they would put them on
- 5:17their eBay or at their table, you know, in their local shows,
- 5:21whatever they were doing or selling them on the groups.
- 5:25And obviously for a bit more than they bought them.
- 5:28And you could say that's capitalism, but that's kind of
- 5:31how it works here. So I still think these might pop
- 5:34up again like they did at retailers.
- 5:37I don't think the horsemen do an extra run because I don't think
- 5:41they have a gap. So won't be like, you know,
- 5:45Advent or decay. I think popped up a few times
- 5:48and all that Templars and stuff. They definitely done extra runs
- 5:52of those. So yeah, it's umm, fun time.
- 5:56So I'm. Trying to remember whether this
- 5:58when they first thought about this way, whether this was one
- 6:01of the ones where they initially said we're going to be making
- 6:04less of these now. In my head, it was it was a wave
- 6:06after this when they started talking about that.
- 6:09So maybe people are a little bit surprised now when there are is
- 6:12less of these. Maybe that's yeah.
- 6:14I thought it was this way even though they said that about
- 6:17initially. It could be me misremembering.
- 6:20Yeah, I can't. Remember now I've passed 50
- 6:24since that Legions con, so you know, yeah, my mind's getting
- 6:28out old. Yeah, I suppose.
- 6:34But yeah, I think if you can, hopefully if you've wanted this
- 6:40way, if you've got at least one of the figures you've wanted, I
- 6:43think the time now forgetting extras of this for customs and
- 6:47stuff is probably more difficult.
- 6:49Yeah, even now Rich, I guess if you so the Brodor was selling
- 6:54for like 200 or something ridiculous.
- 6:56Would be difficult to keep them for customs then wouldn't.
- 7:00It no, I sort of be, I moved away from that a bit.
- 7:03OK, wrong. In three years if he's going to
- 7:05300, he'll be gone. But in the in the near future
- 7:11now I've got very specific plans for the extra ones I got sort of
- 7:14things. So.
- 7:15So I don't want to ship those on.
- 7:17Yeah, I don't know if it's weird Me, I don't mind the older
- 7:20stuff. You know, people sell them for
- 7:22whatever they go for. They're they're genuinely rare
- 7:25at that point or, you know, very hard to get.
- 7:28I always find it just a bit crappy in this time where
- 7:32they've just been released and OK, there's people that have
- 7:36bought 2 all insurance and maybe they want to offloads at the
- 7:39second all in to cover the shipping or, you know, the 1st
- 7:43all in stick it up on your eBay then, you know, and just, you
- 7:48know, let eBay take it. Don't kill the groups with that.
- 7:52But yeah, if you want to stick if you haven't known can sure.
- 7:58I think there might be one person that will sell that and
- 8:00there won't be anyone that will that won't know that you you
- 8:04know, you could get this guy at retail in six months time or
- 8:07something, you know like that or that it might pop up in an in
- 8:10stock sale on can will never. So you know this is your chance
- 8:15to get him. Whereas these, you know,
- 8:17somebody could pay 100 for one of these figures and then be
- 8:21kind of annoyed when three months down the line they
- 8:24realised because of their lack of knowledge that they could
- 8:27have got this at an in stock sale or at a horseman event.
- 8:30Theory, actually, you know. That's the thing was it we, I
- 8:34think pointed out that was it Atlas I think, or Brode, one of
- 8:38the other would solve like £180 in the UK group on eBay, sorry,
- 8:41on eBay in the UK. And it was just like, oh,
- 8:44whoever bought that, you know, you just go on big bad Toy Story
- 8:47with the import fees, the shipping, it's going to come out
- 8:50of less than half that. It's just like, Oh my God, I'm
- 8:53getting silly. Yeah, if you just feel really
- 8:55sorry for people, it's just like.
- 8:56That's either someone that has no clue or that's a fake kind of
- 9:01a sale. I guess it could be a fake one,
- 9:02yeah. Yeah, But, you know, if we take
- 9:05it at face value, that is someone that doesn't have all
- 9:08the information. So that's not that for me.
- 9:10That's not a market. That's an, you know, if people
- 9:13don't have all the information that's publicly available, then
- 9:18it's not really a fair trade, is it?
- 9:20You could say it's up to people to educate themselves, but we're
- 9:23a community. We should, you know, be somehow
- 9:26at least letting people know that don't pay that much for
- 9:28them. I.
- 9:30Mean also nowadays as well. Aliexpress is really good, you
- 9:34know, it's, they normally cost a bit more than if you bought them
- 9:36from like Auk retailer or whatever sort of thing.
- 9:39It'll be around about maybe a little bit more.
- 9:40But they generally come well packaged and they're available,
- 9:43You know, they're available on there for a long time.
- 9:46So you don't need to jump on and spend ridiculous money on
- 9:49something at the moment. You get it for less than that in
- 9:52six months time on Aliexpress. Totally.
- 9:55Yeah. If someone can't now and it's
- 9:57sold out an Aliexpress, this is my advice.
- 10:00It's not like a guarantee or anything, just so we're clear.
- 10:04Yeah. Exactly but no I mean I bought 2
- 10:08Serenox and Aliexpress the other day which are now really though
- 10:11it's me, but even with an Aliexpress voucher they still
- 10:13cost like £63 each or something like that which is which is not
- 10:17the end of the world at all. But obviously it's £20 more than
- 10:20they were originally so. But you also know that that that
- 10:26actually is a good price for them.
- 10:27Do you know what I? Mean.
- 10:28Yeah, Absolutely. Yeah.
- 10:31Uh, shall we see how the Kickstarter is doing then?
- 10:33Uh, this is Thursday night UK, uh, Europe time, so by the time
- 10:39this goes up, it won't be too far in the future $968,605.00.
- 10:46So we're getting close. Catching close to that million,
- 10:49aren't we? Yeah.
- 10:50Yeah definitely 200 uh 2391 backers with 9 days to go and
- 10:59umm I had to put on about 2020 thousand yesterday up to about
- 11:0426,000 today. So, you know, it is gathering a
- 11:08bit of momentum. We'll see maybe why when we look
- 11:12at the at the unlocks, but. Well, horsemen certainly
- 11:18confident. Are they?
- 11:19Without spoiling what we're going to talk about in a minute,
- 11:20Yeah, because of what they've done over the last 24 hours,
- 11:22sort of things. They're always confident.
- 11:24It's gathering. And they should be, because if
- 11:26they're not positive about it, it definitely won't happen, you
- 11:29know? Yeah, well.
- 11:30Yeah. It's the point, you wonder, have
- 11:32they sold to someone like Big Bad?
- 11:37A big. Quantity.
- 11:38They said they weren't going to add them in.
- 11:40OK. OK, because there is a retailer
- 11:42pledge level at the Kickstarter where you can pay the 75.
- 11:46Wholesale price. And that's all they'll add in
- 11:49right starter of. Course, yes.
- 11:51So and so it won't be artificially inflated.
- 11:55I don't know if that's artificial, but it won't be
- 11:56inflated that way, if you know what I mean.
- 11:58There won't be, eh, it'll be community based.
- 12:02This is where we are in the stretch goals.
- 12:03So stretch goals are the ones that are going to be added to
- 12:06different stuff. So you won't necessarily have,
- 12:09if you've backed the all in for example, you won't have to add
- 12:13these to your pledge, they'll just be in there automatically.
- 12:16And recently unlocked is the 2 new heads, which we haven't
- 12:21talked about yet, but we were the orc and the skelly and I
- 12:26think since last episode as well, the heroic paladin Standee
- 12:30Yeah, was unlocked, yeah. That's it, yeah.
- 12:33Next one up is the pin glow in the dark mouth green.
- 12:37Yeah, huh. They they hold the right words,
- 12:40glow in the dark and pin. Yeah.
- 12:44You too. It's just basically blue.
- 12:46Or what are you on? Yeah, yeah, there it is.
- 12:50Look at that beauty. Yes, I like it.
- 12:53Was a yellow, a yellow, one of these that came with the paladin
- 12:59or didn't come with, but I think it was available at the show
- 13:01that the paladin was available. So there you go, this beautiful
- 13:08green. Very.
- 13:10Cool. And I think.
- 13:11You're not buying stores green, they jump.
- 13:15No, I love Green of course because of the Irish thing and
- 13:18Ireland are playing tonight in World Cup qualifiers semi finals
- 13:22so come on Ireland trying to get this done so I can catch the end
- 13:25of it. You know my dedication to the to
- 13:27the show here, but I thought it were green.
- 13:31Well, if John's checking that out, come on Wales, who are also
- 13:33playing the semi final. In fact, if Ireland and Wales
- 13:36both win tonight, we play each other in the final.
- 13:38Wearing black, so that will be. No, we play Denmark or
- 13:41Macedonia. Oh, you guys not playing Italy?
- 13:45No, we're playing Czechia. Oh yeah, yeah, sorry, no
- 13:50disrespect here. I'm thinking of Northern
- 13:52Ireland, which I know is totally different.
- 13:54I'm not going to cause a political event here.
- 13:57I got my part. Of it's part of your country,
- 13:59you know, Yeah, actually, it's, it's a.
- 14:02I mean, I thought we'd a. Brilliant place because you can.
- 14:04You can get a British or an Irish passport if you live
- 14:06there. Or both it's probably.
- 14:09A good idea? Umm, one thing is you have to
- 14:13live in Northern Ireland, but I know I don't mean that.
- 14:19I think Rory from Northern Ireland sometimes listens to
- 14:21this or no offence. Well, my wife's best friends is
- 14:24from Northern Ireland as well. So, Martina, you're not gonna
- 14:26listen. But if you do, I'd.
- 14:28I'd say to their I'd say to their beautiful golf courses
- 14:31though, and so that was that with the stretch goals.
- 14:36So if we make it all the way there, we'll have a a nice
- 14:41leather dice bag. It's coming as well are leather
- 14:48styles. No point leather ball bag or
- 14:53ball sack. I just like giggling for no
- 14:58reason. Might we might need one of them
- 15:00as we get older. A slip case added to combos that
- 15:05include the core rule book. So pretty cool, yeah.
- 15:12So that'll mean that we can never open it now Have to.
- 15:16Leave it, one needs 2. And the last one there is
- 15:22Standy's Vilna set added, so that would be pretty cool to get
- 15:29add on unlocks. So these are things you have to
- 15:33in most cases add on and pay for, except for the All in all
- 15:39in the big one that they've added.
- 15:41So they've added and absolutely everything all in.
- 15:43What's it called again? The masters of mythos Rich is.
- 15:46The Mythos. Yeah, we I have switched to
- 15:50being a master of mythos, have you?
- 15:52I have as well, yeah. Yeah, and Malice is also
- 15:55switched. Master of mythos.
- 15:57You know the masters. Trying he's now just trying to
- 15:59figure out if he needs any other add-ons or you know, what does
- 16:03he know double of that's. It he's trying to figure out if
- 16:05he needs a third master of mythos, so.
- 16:11Kind of, eh? What's been revealed, eh?
- 16:14The, and we're going to look at these right now, the villainous
- 16:18paladin cleric, the new character pack for the vampire
- 16:23loremaster. And a figure is the last figure
- 16:27for one and a half million if they pass that amount is the
- 16:31malignant paladin cleric. So that's a goblin figure.
- 16:37So let's get into that. And here's the funding that are
- 16:42saying the number of backers as they increase over the last
- 16:45days. So those people coming in still.
- 16:48Yeah. I saw a Lord Stephen Bashati.
- 16:50It finally backed it. I mean, come on.
- 16:55I thought you were bad. Rich.
- 16:56Wait. In a few days.
- 16:57Well, Bashati was on it too on Jeremy Show last week talking
- 17:01about this and then when I am back there, come on.
- 17:08Yeah, come on, Jerry. Jeremy, you're head of
- 17:10marketing, you know, come on, have a guy on that's actually
- 17:13going to back the bloody thing on time.
- 17:16I suppose he has backed an on time, but yeah.
- 17:18Yeah, he's got his butt in gear, finally.
- 17:22And so yeah, instead like a big jump there and it's the same day
- 17:26there was a big jump in eh backers.
- 17:29And I think that was around one of the figure reveals.
- 17:33Probably backing, looking at the number of backers that obviously
- 17:36backing a lot of money each as well.
- 17:38Yeah, yeah. Because the 27,000,000 here
- 17:40jumped up, Yeah. So that chart, it kind of aligns
- 17:44with the money weirdly had two days where money went down.
- 17:48I guess that's people either cancelling or readjusting their
- 17:52pledges, you know, or there could be even someone that
- 17:56cancels their pledge and then is like doing a brand new pledge.
- 18:00But in the meantime, maybe it's gone on to the next day or
- 18:03whatever, or you know, they haven't done that to the next
- 18:05day. It could be loads of
- 18:07explanations for that. So I have up to yesterday here.
- 18:10So that's the 20,000 was the most yesterday and today it's
- 18:14already a bit more 26,000 or so. So steady enough progress there.
- 18:21I would say for this time 9 days out when you'd expect a big jump
- 18:25at the end, then you can see that we're going to get close.
- 18:27I would say close to, but I'm still not sure.
- 18:32I just don't know how many Stephen Boschatis there is out
- 18:35there, if you know what I mean. Yeah, it's going to be one or
- 18:39two, I'm sure of it. But yeah, I don't know.
- 18:43Like people that are pretty much all in legions collectors and
- 18:46just haven't got round to put their stuff in or haven't
- 18:49decided how many double S they need.
- 18:51Or you know, so you know. Yeah, I mean, that's a key
- 18:55thing. Busy.
- 18:56With life and just said I'll do that at the end, you know?
- 18:59Yeah. That's the key thing I think for
- 19:00them, it's only people just go, do you know what I've got the
- 19:03the master of mythos by another 4 of that one, another five,
- 19:06that one. And it's like you will get
- 19:08people to do that, but many. Yeah, exactly.
- 19:12And people that get caught up in the hype at the end as well,
- 19:15that can happen because it's going to be all sorts of posts
- 19:19and the groups is going to be the 24 hour live stream that
- 19:22we're taking part in. So you know there will be eh
- 19:26form of that. Right.
- 19:27I mean, I don't want to tell the horsemen what to do, you know.
- 19:30I'm not old man Kyle, but you know, maybe they could towards
- 19:33the end of the day just go there's meet and greet with the
- 19:34Euro legions guys at Legions Con if you keep backing it so they
- 19:37could make a fortune. They passed like 4 million.
- 19:40OK, do we have to do anything different for this meet and
- 19:43greet or just hang out at the bar?
- 19:46Probably be naked, but other than that I think we're fine.
- 19:48Oh, no pass. Watch watch Kickstarter around
- 19:58so. Villainous.
- 20:00Paladin slash Cleric First impressions here, Mel.
- 20:06I really like it. I like the colours, I like, I
- 20:11like that head fit in that blue. We sort of bit conjecture on
- 20:15that I think at one point, didn't we and I think.
- 20:16Yeah, so it's the elf rogue head.
- 20:19Yeah, repainted in shadow. Shadow of Colours, yeah, I like,
- 20:25I love the bright, vibrant spell effect that he comes with.
- 20:32There's a bit of discussion in in a chat we're in and I kind of
- 20:36agree, but I think it's easy enough to swap out if you're not
- 20:38keen. The silver feels a bit bright
- 20:41for the character. It feels like it should be a bit
- 20:44darker for this particular character, but yeah.
- 20:48It should be a different colour for the character in my opinion.
- 20:52Yeah, of course you're you're not.
- 20:53Yeah, the blue and the blue. I don't like the silver at all.
- 20:57Normally be there on that job, I don't think silver worked
- 21:00particularly well anyway. And then when it's bright like
- 21:02this, it's just like. Now, it might be.
- 21:05And even if it's closer to, there was a couple of like, you
- 21:08know, iPhone or whatever smartphone pictures from
- 21:11whatever con they were at over the weekend.
- 21:15And ski con, wasn't it? Ski con, Of course, Yeah.
- 21:18And then it looked a little bit more like the what's the dark
- 21:23Templar? More of a flat, flashy silver,
- 21:28darker, a little bit greyer, but even still I just don't think it
- 21:31should be silver. No, I'm thinking I might pick up
- 21:35one of the gun metal armoury Knights and even the gun metal
- 21:40the the the barbarian armoured the sorry the gladiator arm
- 21:45rebuild that's got the gun metal.
- 21:47Yeah, track legs with boots attempted to pick them up and
- 21:51I'll swapped out to that when it comes.
- 21:54I'm thinking so. That's a good.
- 21:57Idea. Yeah, I think that gun metal
- 21:58worked well for it. He also comes with the like a
- 22:05valak in the hood head, so vampire head in the hood and
- 22:09then a chainmail head with the faceplate painted blue.
- 22:16Both that it's one of the human face plates that's painted in
- 22:19the shadow of colours. Your first impressions of this
- 22:22one, Rich. I like it.
- 22:26There's a couple of qualms like you, I think the silver's just
- 22:29wrong. It's not often I say they made a
- 22:31wrong choice colour likewise, but they definitely have with
- 22:33that in my own opinion. Overall, I like it.
- 22:38I really like the the the the cloth and the sort of blue
- 22:41colouring on it rather than yellow.
- 22:42I think that works really well. I'd want the boots to be and the
- 22:47gloves to be a different shade of blue.
- 22:50It's far too close to the the flesh tone of the shadow elf, I
- 22:52think. Umm, so that's the change I'd
- 22:55like, but otherwise might as you like it.
- 22:58Yeah yeah, umm I I like the soft goods in this colour, I think
- 23:05yeah the Blues on the hands and the boots.
- 23:09I agree 100%. It's just should be maybe closer
- 23:13to the soft goods or I. Could say that to be fair, yeah.
- 23:17Yeah, if you look at the shield, I think they've got the shield
- 23:20colours spot on, Yeah. Hmm.
- 23:24For maybe what the armour should be more so, yeah, Yeah, but.
- 23:32No, I have to make the first picture I saw was this one which
- 23:35is the. This soft good one like yeah,
- 23:38just like that all. My action was like, Oh my God,
- 23:42what have they done? So this is this is the figure
- 23:45with all the soft goods off and it's got kind of helmet.
- 23:49So it also comes with the Lee J helm that you can stick on top
- 23:54of the elf head sculptures, take the hair off and yeah.
- 23:59And here it is without all the soft good.
- 24:00So it's a night. I mean, you could strip away
- 24:02bits of that and you've got a great build for a nice going on
- 24:06there. But as is there and that'll
- 24:09never see the light day in my shelf.
- 24:11No, it's, I mean, it's again, it's a night, isn't it?
- 24:14And I'm not the biggest night fan in that, you know, straight
- 24:18up night. So yeah, about this at all.
- 24:21If you're going to do elves, Bitch Shadow elves or normal
- 24:25elves in that sort of night look, they need fancy helmets.
- 24:30Yeah, they need big helmets and this sort of stuff, you know,
- 24:33like Warhammer style is the only way to make that look work.
- 24:37Got you. Yeah, but and, and here then the
- 24:40boots really look like, you know, they kind of took somebody
- 24:45else's boots as they were going out the door.
- 24:47Couldn't find their own, you know.
- 24:49I really like the boot colour and.
- 24:53Maybe I don't have that kink, I don't know.
- 24:56Yeah, and it's just, it's just too close to the skin tone for
- 24:59me. I got nothing against the blue
- 25:01boots. That's I mean with the silver
- 25:03arm, I don't think it works, but it's quite a cool colour.
- 25:06But no, it's just too close to them.
- 25:10Yeah, so for me here, the Valak look actually ends up being the
- 25:15best. And that's weird, because this
- 25:17is a shadow, you know? Yeah.
- 25:20Basically shadow of type character almost.
- 25:25At least the main part of it is. And yeah.
- 25:30Yeah, I thought that. Was that we've we've backed,
- 25:32we've backed the all in, you know, all of us.
- 25:34So, you know, we're also allowed to pick holes in these and we'll
- 25:39get to the point. One thing we're not, it's a kiss
- 25:43ass podcast. It's like, no, we're honest.
- 25:48I well, I was going to add as well, actually, it's weird that
- 25:51there's a vampire head in it. As much as I love vampires and
- 25:53I'm happy it's there. It's like the other ones, you
- 25:56know, it's all human loyal or it's all God you.
- 25:59Think it's you think see the do ban wouldn't work would it
- 26:03either? No, no, no.
- 26:06It's yeah, I don't know, just I want them all to be shadow
- 26:10elves. It's slightly weight point of
- 26:12vampire. Although there's a blue version
- 26:15of that, demand head with Kai Pasha isn't.
- 26:17Let's say you could possibly there.
- 26:19Is there we go. This, this is absolutely the
- 26:24best look, I think, for him. Yeah, yeah.
- 26:26That's right, just. Turned them into totally
- 26:28something else. So there's someone has said I
- 26:30should have credited them. Took the screenshot another name
- 26:34has gone off it, but this was posted in one of the groups and
- 26:39yeah this somebody has did you bashed the Kai Pasha extra head
- 26:43the Smurf like like what Noah did first I think yes this.
- 26:47Is a Papa Smurf cleric, isn't it?
- 26:48Yeah. This is amazing even though you
- 26:53know it's wrong, but it's so right there.
- 26:59You go. That might be the way to use
- 27:00that do that. It's probably it's probably on
- 27:02those ones where they did the pipe Kai passion.
- 27:04Now they're like, oh, we should just save the head.
- 27:07It worked so well with it's damn it, it's OK.
- 27:10Most people are most people are you know that are in this liner
- 27:14are going to have this head. So at some point in their
- 27:16collection, I think so they can past it.
- 27:20This next one then Rich you are the the vampire expert on this
- 27:24podcast Vampire loremaster. What do you think of this fella?
- 27:28I. Absolutely love this dude.
- 27:29So this is a character pack. So this is what you get here.
- 27:33The legs, the head set of bare arms, they're armoured silver
- 27:39legs again. They.
- 27:40Have purple. Books the chain on them and the
- 27:44cool torch with purple. So we get that torch in purple
- 27:47and he looks and he goes on the Ricks figure.
- 27:49This is the intention goes on any figure, I suppose.
- 27:52But when it comes to the Kickstarter here, this is what
- 27:57he's supposed to go on. So you like him, Rich?
- 28:01Love him, love him. Yeah, I've talked in the past
- 28:03about how cool I think the different colour flames on the
- 28:05sorches are. So putting a purple one on this
- 28:07is just. It's absolutely brilliant.
- 28:09Yeah. Absolutely love the the sort of
- 28:11Baron Bolic symbol sort of tattoo on his head as well.
- 28:15That looks really cracking. I think that's the best version
- 28:19of that head, isn't it? That we had is.
- 28:21It the head from the heads back? Yeah, I think so.
- 28:25Isn't it? Yeah.
- 28:27Yeah, Was that your guess? Well, so you're right on that,
- 28:29dammit. It's rubbish.
- 28:34Yeah, and this is. Suggested it to be fair and I
- 28:37just thought I was most likely. And this paint on the vampire's
- 28:42head is their way of kind of symbolising a Lithia with her,
- 28:46with her extra arms. So it's the kind of simplified
- 28:50version of that, yeah. I like the purple books as well.
- 28:54I know in Jeremy's show somebody asked about the let the apple
- 28:56eggs and they were like well why they armoured that's weird.
- 29:00And Jeremy was like, well, we tried bare flesh white ones and
- 29:03it looked ridiculous so. Yeah, I don't want to refresh
- 29:07white ones, but the. They've been good.
- 29:10Cloth ones would have been good because and then why silver
- 29:14again? Yeah, well I'm thinking this
- 29:17might be a reason to get another pair of the barbarian character
- 29:22pack can use the legs from that on this.
- 29:24One from that. That's a good idea, Mal.
- 29:26Yeah, damn it, Mal. More money going.
- 29:30I don't like any other colour but silver here would have been
- 29:33better even even you see they go into the kind of completely
- 29:37different colour eh? Lower leg here and the Rick's
- 29:42figure. Yeah, a black would have worked
- 29:43really well with the vampire. Yeah.
- 29:45Just a scheme generally dirtied up 1, you know?
- 29:48Yeah. Let's face it, vampires aren't
- 29:51found silver, you know they don't agree with silver.
- 29:56It's like impairing. It's like him wearing a pair of
- 29:58wood trousers. It's just like.
- 30:02So that's him. So my only criticism really of
- 30:04him is the the legs, but we can fix that with the legs from
- 30:09Barbarian pack for example, or at least those parts of the
- 30:13legs. I plan.
- 30:16But no, as a carrot pack, I love it.
- 30:17I think it's great. And so I don't, Yeah.
- 30:21And if this was a whole figure and they had the silver legs,
- 30:24I'd really not be impressed. But as a character, Backing can
- 30:28get away with it, I think. Goblin.
- 30:33So this is the big the big final figure.
- 30:37Was this what you were expecting for the big final figure, Rich?
- 30:42No, I was expecting something new.
- 30:47And I know they're not going to do new tooling for this, but
- 30:49they are. You know, they said many times
- 30:51in the past that they tool stuff up and then just keep it back
- 30:53for a couple of ways. Yeah, so I was expecting
- 30:55something new to like really Dr excitement.
- 30:59So when this came up, I was like, oh, it's all stuff we've
- 31:01got already, right? Yeah, Mal, what do you think of
- 31:07this? Oh, you see, I don't mind it.
- 31:09There's there's things about it I don't prefer, but there's
- 31:14things. But there's there's plenty about
- 31:16it that I do, I do really like. Oh my, that's the most negative
- 31:20I've ever heard you. I don't prefer them.
- 31:25That's the most. British criticism, Ever.
- 31:27You know, it's like. Where do I go?
- 31:30Where do I go now to slip my wrists?
- 31:33My boss has told me that. Yeah, I I like the the green
- 31:43sort of tunic piece. I quite like the heads.
- 31:49The face on the head sculpt, it's got on in this picture
- 31:51here. I'm not so sure I need another
- 31:55swig head sculpt. I like the paint the way the
- 32:00shield's painted. I quite like that we get in
- 32:03little what looks like little winged pieces for the for the
- 32:08helmet. That's quite, yeah.
- 32:10Touch. Yeah.
- 32:12I like the general setup of it. But yeah, those things I'm not
- 32:17so sure about. The armoured bits, I don't know
- 32:22whether I'd have preferred them to maybe use the bare flesh a
- 32:27bit or something. Yeah, it shows the three
- 32:30different bills there. I don't mind that fully armoured
- 32:33version of it though, that's quite a cool one.
- 32:38Yeah. What did you think of it, John?
- 32:46The soft goods I could stick on as like a Silverhorn sentry or
- 32:50something. I think that would.
- 32:51They would look awesome. They're the same size.
- 32:55I get the size thing because they want to keep it streamlined
- 32:59for the factory RE. It's a bit like parts reuse, you
- 33:02know? I guess it's the same thing.
- 33:03If they did a shrunken down version of this, it would be
- 33:06like doing a new yeah soft goods, which would come with the
- 33:09tooling, like a soft goods tooling price or whatever the
- 33:13equivalent of that would be, plus whatever.
- 33:17And the other thing, by doing that as well as they can, people
- 33:20will want the tune equate they to use on the characters.
- 33:23So, yeah, yeah. Like I know goblin fans love
- 33:29their goblins and I'm happy for them.
- 33:31I mean TJ and her patron, he's huge goblin guy.
- 33:34I even helped him get some goblin help scopes from prop
- 33:38masters when they couldn't ship to the US.
- 33:41Delighted for people like that. But for me this is not the 1.5
- 33:46million big amazing figure reveal.
- 33:50I mean the goblin 2 packing nashes of eggbender is so much
- 33:54better than this. Oh yeah, that's.
- 33:56Each of the single figures, you know, and so that's the
- 34:02disappointing thing and it's kind of made me wonder, is this
- 34:08Kickstarter really trying to cater more for the new fans or
- 34:12especially with these unlock unlocks or is it catering for us
- 34:18as well? You know, the kind of long term
- 34:20fans, because I don't see huge innovation in this figure
- 34:24compared to like the core figures that we got to start.
- 34:28And we've talked about these in the pre shows.
- 34:30They're amazing and they're so good and everything since the
- 34:38monster pack, which is also amazing barrier and the bark is
- 34:43a little bit not great at the four horsemen standards for me.
- 34:48So that's just kind of where it's a little bit underwhelming
- 34:53still getting the all in. So you know, I'm not like
- 34:55throwing the toys out the pram here, but this is my opinion so
- 34:58I don't get. Cancelling your Kickstarter
- 35:00order because they. So I don't get the like, wow,
- 35:04amazement from people about it. But maybe, you know, maybe I'm
- 35:07just that's my own opinion. And, you know, we're not all the
- 35:12same. Yeah.
- 35:13So you know. Yeah, I mean, I think what
- 35:19they've done with the heads is fine, but I'll be swapping my
- 35:22head straight off and putting out custom head on because you
- 35:26don't need the same goblin head on a different figure.
- 35:29Next week is still in stock the horse and website that.
- 35:35Colour scheme actually works really well I think for him.
- 35:37But yeah, it is, you know, it's yeah.
- 35:41And the but what I don't like colour wise is how bright green
- 35:44the tunic is. It's just totally wrong on a
- 35:48goblin. It should be a dirty mucky
- 35:51green. Now we could say this is fantasy
- 35:56and you know we can make it up but I think this just pulls me
- 36:01out for too much for what I would expect this type of
- 36:07character to have. Like a goblin or PG for me is
- 36:11more like SWIG if we got a goblin like an evolution of swig
- 36:16for this reveal, that could be 10 out of 10 for me you know?
- 36:21Oh yeah. Not not swig.
- 36:24Sorry, the snag. Snag.
- 36:26That's what I was about to say. Yeah, I think, but I think.
- 36:28Hood Yeah, the. Goblin Thief would have been
- 36:31something more like I would have expected, which is stag, isn't
- 36:34it? So, yeah, yeah.
- 36:36Snag Yeah, so that would. Be.
- 36:40Way better, you know, and, and like so him with soft goods, you
- 36:44know, maybe a little, you know, shirt and pants, kind of soft
- 36:49good pants, amazing. And you know, give him a like a
- 36:52Santa sack type of thing and all that kind of stuff.
- 36:56So he said he was wearing pants. Sorry.
- 37:05That's that's 1.7 million reveal mile 1 July.
- 37:09Little Gob and I know there'll be future waves and and we might
- 37:12get a figure like that and they'll obviously be future
- 37:16mythic legions waves where maybe they have planted.
- 37:18It's all planned out. We don't see the whole plan, but
- 37:22I just that, you know. They did been they've been
- 37:26better doing a cheaper goblin as like a starter figure like $30
- 37:31stock. Or a core.
- 37:33Yes, and they've sold loads, whereas you know if you want to
- 37:37army bill goblins, you're not going to buy 10 of this guy at
- 37:40$60.00 each. True.
- 37:42Well he's posted in the others talking to my start before we
- 37:45start recording. He's post like eh, someone
- 37:48posted him in the goblin group and the seven comments into in
- 37:5218 hours in the goblin group about this figure.
- 37:55Now I know he's in the Cabal as well, and there's probably
- 37:57plenty of comments in that post, but you know, the Dwarf group
- 38:02went absolutely ham about the the dwarf, what he was revealed.
- 38:06You know this is. Freaking awesome.
- 38:10Yeah. I think looking at that, looking
- 38:12at sorry, Rich, yeah. No, I'm just going to say with I
- 38:15know I love our goblin fan brethren.
- 38:17I'm I've got a lot of goblins of my own collection.
- 38:19Kirby's awesome marks awesome. All goblin guys are awesome.
- 38:22But you could paint a dwarf green and call it a goblin and
- 38:25certain people will get excited about it.
- 38:28Would there be like me? And I think there's a danger
- 38:31this might hit the mere side of it.
- 38:33Hmm, yeah, I think a little bit eh, I mean back to the the
- 38:39actual figure itself. So the heads here, this seems to
- 38:43be this is a head that you get in the malignancy pack with the
- 38:48visor from the skeleton from the deluxe Legion builders.
- 38:51Remember that visor? It seems to fit on that head.
- 38:55Eh, Looks pretty pretty cool. Obviously gets a swig head and
- 39:00that's the head with the visor over it.
- 39:03I love that the divisor over it. Look, yeah, I think that's the.
- 39:06Best there's also there's also a nob Nick head with the didn't
- 39:11get a close up of him and Nob Nick.
- 39:13I think that's the this is the second time you'll get a nob
- 39:16Nick head. So and it's it's probably one of
- 39:20the best carbon Nets. So you know, that's cool as well
- 39:23for people who missed out on that.
- 39:26I mean, I imagine TJ wasn't in the line, for example, back when
- 39:30Nubnik was available. So might be his first chance if
- 39:33this gets unlocked again Nubnik. And that's so that's awesome for
- 39:36him. Heads packs, these got unlocked
- 39:44or kind of skeleton to go with those figures.
- 39:47I don't know if I have the picture of them on the figures
- 39:50here. These just go in which are,
- 39:53which are various bundle packs that include those figures.
- 39:57So pretty cool add in. Yeah, pretty cool.
- 40:02I like for three hits. I like the little war paint here
- 40:08and the way it's kind of weathered in with the skull
- 40:12class. Yeah, that's where perhaps a bit
- 40:14of a sucker for that sort of thing.
- 40:16I really like the I'm considering.
- 40:18I'm not at all. I'm not the biggest Ork or the
- 40:20biggest skeleton fan, although I do think the newer skeletons are
- 40:23awesome. And that perhaps where this
- 40:26comes in is I actually really, really like that or skeleton
- 40:30head with the like you say, the war paying down it.
- 40:35And that, that's a cool weapon, that bone sword.
- 40:38It's one of the best ones in the line.
- 40:40I think that weapon is great. And that arcade is the Herzog
- 40:44kind of standard head. Yeah.
- 40:47Is it OK? Yeah, Yeah, probably.
- 40:50Yeah. I couldn't.
- 40:51Yeah. It's like for.
- 40:52A freebie you can't even mean. You really can't complain
- 40:54because it's just. Enough.
- 40:55Free habits like, you know, great.
- 41:00I mean, I'm now looking at that all corner.
- 41:01I have to admit thinking, do I need to paint sort of tattoo
- 41:04marks on all my skeleton head pack heads?
- 41:09Yeah, there's like 5 or 6 of them there.
- 41:11And it's like, oh. Maybe these guys, you mean?
- 41:14Yeah. I know the original necronomics
- 41:17all. Oh yeah, yeah, that's cool.
- 41:19Not these. Douche bags.
- 41:21Bag of skeletons. Sorry Brett, but I'm just we're
- 41:25not, we're not a huge fan of these.
- 41:26I mean, cool to get skeleton heads and won't say no for me.
- 41:32They're not into those. These are definitely not into
- 41:35those. So the bottom 2 have the
- 41:37articulated jaw in the top two or the standard close jaw head
- 41:40scope painted in the standard bone.
- 41:42So they'll go with a lot of the scan figures that you have and
- 41:48you can stick them on any nice body or you know, fully armoured
- 41:52body or whatever. That's basically what I think
- 41:55Brett's going to do with it. It's basically a diet piece,
- 41:57isn't it? Yeah.
- 41:58It's like you'd buy more than one of these just to chuckle.
- 42:01Load on or. You could sprinkle them on the
- 42:03floor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 42:05And have them just kind of in the scene that that definitely
- 42:09works. But a lot of us have a lot of
- 42:11these anyway, especially if we're not Brett, the ones to put
- 42:14one on every figure. We'll have a lot in the in the
- 42:20press box. The Pain talked about that
- 42:23already, yeah. My looks like he wants to fight
- 42:26it again. He's getting excited.
- 42:29This was an interesting one. The map of Mercurius.
- 42:32Yeah. So Mercuriaco Mercurius is part
- 42:38of the bigger map. It's it's kind of a near Bjorn
- 42:41Garam, the top left kind of in between where our theory is and
- 42:47the Bjorn Gar. So we get a, you know, Colosseum
- 42:52detail. You see kind of every Rd seems
- 42:55to lead to the Colosseum, which is kind of cool.
- 42:57Little detail on it. That Colosseum is absolutely
- 43:01massive, yeah. I wouldn't.
- 43:03I wonder if it means that the like intro story or whatever it
- 43:09is that's in there. Yeah.
- 43:12Yeah, yeah. And I'm sorry, I didn't get the
- 43:16name of the artist for this post and I just missed it.
- 43:19And you can see that, yes, more detail of the map.
- 43:22And then it has a legend. I couldn't find where these
- 43:24numbers were on the map, but maybe when you have it in person
- 43:30you can see it a bit better. But I didn't see, for example,
- 43:33anyone on the Colosseum. But yeah.
- 43:36Yeah, Legions Lounge this week had a lot of discussion around
- 43:40that and which it could be which.
- 43:41So yeah, OK, people want in depth on that.
- 43:44That's the one to go to. Right, the all in so I Jeremy
- 43:52revealed last night in his show that they're now adding an All
- 43:57in all. So masters of mythos.
- 43:59It includes everything and two of the core figures so that you
- 44:05can make the figures with your character packs there, if that
- 44:10makes sense, and two of the Rick's figure.
- 44:15So lots of stuff there 965 with all my add-ons and stuff I
- 44:21already had I think 900. So I just switched to this and I
- 44:26added I want more coins, so there's only one bag of coins in
- 44:29this so. An.
- 44:32Extra extra coins back and it's an extra stands because I think
- 44:37$10.00 for those six stands is a great deal if you're in the if
- 44:42you're looking for stands. So, yeah.
- 44:46And So what do you think of this all in?
- 44:47Yeah, we're all, we're all on board with that if that's.
- 44:50Absolutely. I've got really confused because
- 44:52I was because America is only or the East Coast.
- 44:54America is only four hours behind this at the moment.
- 44:55I watched two first 2/3 Jeremy show.
- 44:58Oh yeah. Without being too late sort of
- 45:01thing. So he was going on the 16
- 45:03figures included. I'm like, it's 15, 16 figures
- 45:06and I'm like, it's 15. What what are you talking about?
- 45:08It's 15. And then he went and there's a
- 45:10second Rick sitting. I was like, OK, you know, I was
- 45:13borderline messaging the autumn going, dude, you've you've F
- 45:15this up. There's clearly 15 figures, but
- 45:18it's like, OK, that makes sense. Yeah, and it simplifies it as
- 45:24well. I think also be good for when it
- 45:26comes around to shipping because they'll be very easily able to
- 45:29pack this. And then if you have a couple of
- 45:32extras, they can throw them in. Whereas if you have a place
- 45:35that's all over the place and it's basically this but slightly
- 45:39different, you could be back at the queue, you know, when it
- 45:43comes to shipping. And this other picture here on
- 45:48the right is the same picture with some crudely drawn green
- 45:52lines around it. And we had a discussion with our
- 45:55friend Mark Calvo that's breaking any confidentialities
- 46:00there. And I think the point was, yeah,
- 46:03I think I asked him if I could use it.
- 46:05So, you know, he must not going to mention him.
- 46:08I think our discussion was really that the core stuff is
- 46:11really good and the disappointment has come with
- 46:15these later figures. And I know people are working
- 46:19really hard on this at the Horsemen and have been, and I'm
- 46:21sure everything's been prepared. But for me, the later figures
- 46:24look more like afterthoughts than the core stuff.
- 46:30And this is a Horseman standard. So all the stuff that's kind of
- 46:34circled there I think is kind of, you know, amazingly kind of
- 46:38done and, you know, really, really good and really, really
- 46:42good value. And then you have the later
- 46:44reveals, which is the, you know, the Ricks and the goblin and the
- 46:52paladin. The Vilnius paladin don't really
- 46:56hit the same marks for me. So yeah, that's my point.
- 47:00I think Mark was on a similar page and he's probably still
- 47:04getting the all in as well. But you know, Mark will easily
- 47:10be able to make amazing figures out of the parts from the ones
- 47:13that he's not keen on keeping in that configuration.
- 47:20I'm without any. Certain for our rich.
- 47:22Table at Legion What I was about to say before I go into that job
- 47:25about any self promotion for our table at legions con.
- 47:27Obviously dog heads would work really well on pretty much all
- 47:30these speakers just just mentioned.
- 47:35Even on the evil the villainous paladin.
- 47:38Even on the villainous Paladin, trust me, there's some of the
- 47:40new ones we've done are Jeff's case.
- 47:42Have you got a head for the goblin with the green robes?
- 47:46There will be two smaller ones, so yes.
- 47:48OK. Or you could use a superb
- 47:51dachshund. Or we can, you know, bring the
- 47:52dachshund along. Here.
- 47:54Oh, bring back the dachshund. Bring back Sebastian.
- 47:59Is that what he's called? He's called Sebastian.
- 48:01Yeah, right. Yeah, I actually got my child
- 48:05involved. She's 13, so was horrified at
- 48:07doing it. I probably bribed it with a
- 48:09fibrous. I remember this what?
- 48:10Names. What names shall I call the dog
- 48:13characters? Amazing.
- 48:18Yeah, a little bit like you, John.
- 48:19I think it started off really strongly and has probably not
- 48:23kept up with that. I mean, it's not bad in any way.
- 48:26Shit, before it's there's some cracking stuff.
- 48:29Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm got the master of mythos thing.
- 48:31But yeah, it's particularly the 1.5 million.
- 48:34There was like a wait and see tag on the the Kickstarter and
- 48:38everything. I was really, really hoping for
- 48:40something new and exciting and it wasn't.
- 48:43And it's just like, oh, OK. Yeah.
- 48:49No, I mean said that I'll spend every grand because I want got
- 48:53the 965 plus I want a few of the bits and bobs.
- 48:55So yeah. So yeah, I'm not for sure about
- 48:58the whether it was feeling like it's not as planned out, because
- 49:05I really like that despite thinking the armour could be a
- 49:08bit darker. I really, really like the
- 49:11villainous Paladin and it kind of the fact that it's the anti
- 49:15heroic paladin to me feels like a deliberate, you know, oh,
- 49:20we're going to do this, so we'll do this as well.
- 49:24So you've got like the, you know, the enemies of each other.
- 49:29But I will admit the Rick's figure doesn't necessarily hit
- 49:33all hit us. You know, I want him because,
- 49:36you know, I think he'll be cool to have on your shelf or
- 49:39whatever. And I'm a bit of a sucker for,
- 49:42well, almost getting to being of completionist in some ways.
- 49:47And but yeah, and I can see the sort of feelings about the
- 49:51goblin, although there's things, as I say, I like about it.
- 49:55But yeah, maybe a goblin thief, as I say, would be fit what I
- 50:01would imagine more from that. So yeah, some of it it feels a
- 50:10bit more like to me, it's just those are the bits that aren't
- 50:13aimed at me. They're aimed at another
- 50:14collector that likes those and maybe doesn't like some of the
- 50:19earliest stuff so much. You know, that's that's kind of
- 50:22how it feels to me. But then.
- 50:25Yeah, and I got, I saw this interesting comment on one of
- 50:30Jeremy's posts, you know, updates or whatever, from a guy
- 50:35called Dargan Pavlovich. And he said, what I don't
- 50:39understand is that this is a Kickstarter for the miniature
- 50:41game, but all the focus is mostly on action figures.
- 50:45You don't even have good pictures, uh, to see how the
- 50:47miniatures are uh, when you zoom in uh, when you zoom in on them
- 50:52and uh, you talk a little bit about the game and show a little
- 50:57bit more. It's mostly just talking about
- 51:00the action figures and showing the action figures off.
- 51:03So that's confusing me. Is it a miniature game or an
- 51:05action figure miniature game? What's going on here?
- 51:08Don't understand because miniatures are not really seeing
- 51:11anything that should hook me into buying it because your
- 51:14figures are just taking everything away from the
- 51:17spotlight of the miniatures. So well, it's an interesting
- 51:23point. Jeremy replied and he said, if
- 51:24you're following the campaign updates, we've posted quite a
- 51:27bit about the gameplay beyond the figures.
- 51:33I I feel I'm kind of lacking on how the game works.
- 51:37You know, we, we were planning to maybe talk about, you know, a
- 51:41little bit more about the game and you know how we might play
- 51:44the game in our live stream, but I don't think I'm, I'm there for
- 51:48that. You know, at this stage, given
- 51:51we weren't, you know, involved in any of the play testing or
- 51:53anything. You know, we'll probably try and
- 51:56create a character each and stuff, but beyond that I don't
- 52:00think I can give much insight on how the game works.
- 52:05No. Definitely not very experienced
- 52:08at all gamer, but yeah it. Definitely feels like there's a
- 52:14lot we don't know about the actual RPG itself.
- 52:18I agree with that, but for what I would say also there is they
- 52:22come from this is the game is because the figures exist.
- 52:28Really it's, you know, the the community is built up around the
- 52:32figures. So I, I don't, I think it's
- 52:36understandable that they they focus on that side of it and and
- 52:40they the whole point being they're trying to produce
- 52:42something slightly different where you can use your figures
- 52:45to play the game, aren't they? So.
- 52:48So I think for me, it's absolutely understandable that
- 52:51that's a big part of this campaign, yeah.
- 52:54It makes sense to me as well, but I can see why somebody who's
- 52:57not an action maker, collector, it's just a role-playing game.
- 53:00Enthusiasm, yeah. Would get could be both, but
- 53:03who's big into the role play side of it?
- 53:05Yeah. But yeah, but if you're just a
- 53:07role player and you come in and you go, oh cool, there's a new
- 53:10board game. We knew minis and you're like,
- 53:12wait a minute, what all these 7 inch tall figures they're
- 53:14talking about? And yeah.
- 53:16But there you go. Is that where they're going to
- 53:19also get a newer group of people perhaps when the game comes out
- 53:24and there is a lot more people talking about the content of the
- 53:28game and how it plays, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
- 53:31I don't know. Because then that's when the
- 53:34people who are only interested in the book in the RPG itself or
- 53:38the minis will, they'll be more accessible as a thing on their
- 53:43own as well, so. Yeah.
- 53:46I mean, when I think about, you know, before this ever happened,
- 53:50it was like it would be always cool to get a kind of a
- 53:53role-playing game or some sort of game based on the the law.
- 53:58And I feel like the action figures and everything we've
- 54:01done, belong has established the law and everything.
- 54:04They've obviously decided that that's going to be a big, big
- 54:07part of the campaign here and everything, but maybe it's kind
- 54:13of too big a part for the funding, because they probably
- 54:18could have put these figures up for pre-order and they've sold
- 54:20the same amount anyway. Yeah, and they could have maybe
- 54:23done the funding on the game more as the game itself, based
- 54:27on their lore and have more detail about the, you know, just
- 54:32game stuff. And then also say, and over here
- 54:36on our other platform, you can buy figures, you know, that
- 54:40match up with what you're having, you know, so that that
- 54:43would have been the other way to do.
- 54:44Then you'd have a much lower funding for the game in terms of
- 54:49a goal, because it would just be funded by the game elements.
- 54:53And you could still have a pre-order running for the
- 54:55figures on the side for people like, you know, as usual, But
- 55:00you know, maybe do a mythic legions wave.
- 55:02This is the RPG wave, and you maybe do it after the funding or
- 55:06before the funding or whatever you might do it.
- 55:09So that would have been another way to do it.
- 55:10And maybe like someone else replied as Jean Francois Santer.
- 55:15So since French, I feel exactly the same.
- 55:19It's not an RPGs Kickstarter, it's another wave of figures
- 55:22with RPG elements added to it. We should be seeing minis,
- 55:25rules, classes, unlocking more adventures.
- 55:30So, I mean, I think these are people that are more familiar
- 55:35with RPG games than us, yes. Yeah, I mean, to me, this is a
- 55:40great Kickstarter because it it is mainly about the figures,
- 55:43which is what I'm interested in. And I get a cool core rule book
- 55:48which gives you more information about the races.
- 55:49And I love us all geeky stuff, but yeah, I can genuinely see if
- 55:53somebody's just an RPG person. What the hell?
- 55:57Yeah. Well for me, I have 0 complaints
- 55:59in this regard, but I thought it would be interesting to at least
- 56:03show that there is people that are concerned about it on that
- 56:07side of it that may become more on that side.
- 56:11Which maybe if we see down the line it doesn't seem to
- 56:15breakthrough to the gamer gamer, then that might be why, or at
- 56:22least an element of it, you know?
- 56:24On the plus side, the Horsemen have got Lenin as a project
- 56:27manager for it, haven't they? So they've got somebody focused
- 56:30on the game. It's not a case of Woven, the
- 56:32Kickstarter that just gets pushed to one side.
- 56:34Now there's land, there's camera and you know, there's, there's
- 56:36people to drive it forward and keep driving it forward.
- 56:38Yeah, and maybe one last thing I have here.
- 56:42So, umm, they did a recent update about the the playable
- 56:47species in the game. Yes.
- 56:49So we have dwarf help, Elf, goblin, human, jaguarlian,
- 56:54minotaur, orc skeleton and vampire.
- 56:59Additional species would be added in future updates.
- 57:04I don't be that guy. Where the hell is my mine at
- 57:06all? I don't mind.
- 57:08The actual figure, yeah. Yeah, it was a figure.
- 57:11Oh, call it a playable species. Where's my mine at all?
- 57:15Where's my hoofed legs? What the hell?
- 57:19You've gotten enough lately, yeah?
- 57:22This is true. The condensed set of rules that
- 57:26come with the beginner box only include the dwarf, elf, human,
- 57:31Minotaur, and skeleton, so monitors in the condensed one as
- 57:34well. It's like they hate cows for
- 57:37some reason. It's like, right?
- 57:38They love them. I've.
- 57:40Got a beef with? Cows What?
- 57:48What this tells me, rich, is that there might be a Minotaur
- 57:52in one of the next Mythics waves.
- 57:54Fingers crossed. You know.
- 57:57As I have a minor source faction in my collection, then like all
- 57:59for the minor source you can't get too many.
- 58:02Well, the picture they're using for the minor tour, by the looks
- 58:05of it in the in the book is what's his name?
- 58:08The cow we just got in the Rising Suns wave.
- 58:12Rigarian. Rigarian.
- 58:14Yeah. He's a rather than a cow, but I
- 58:18got you. Yeah.
- 58:18Yeah, but mine. If you.
- 58:21Without being pedantic, because we're obviously not pedantic on
- 58:23this show. If you said the bovine we've
- 58:25recently got, then we'd be covered.
- 58:27But. And then someone specifically
- 58:31asked on one of Jeremy's posts, eh, what about demons?
- 58:36And he said demons are not playable in the first release of
- 58:39the game. So we focused on species that
- 58:42are part of the RPG to start with.
- 58:45Demons may certainly come later The question is will they come
- 58:50through their demon Wang right. That's all I have boys if you
- 58:59want anymore I'm off to watch the second-half of of the game
- 59:02now and you know we're 21 up as I see it I.
- 59:06Was going to say there's a point where Mal was talking and you
- 59:08were looking down at your phone and I was looking down at my
- 59:10phone as well. We're both checking football
- 59:11score. Yeah.
- 59:14So we should give people back their time, Yeah, rather than
- 59:19rabbit on. Cheers for that boys.
- 59:21Yeah, cheers. Been good.
- 59:22Yeah, that was good. I'll never speak to you either
- 59:26again, but you know. Which is that row was planned.
- 59:34Stay safe out there everybody, and remember everybody's opinion
- 59:36is valid about things like the RPG games, but don't worry about
- 59:39what you think about it. Love it, ate it, all good.
- 59:43Let's face it, all going to spend a load of money on.
- 59:46It that's that.
