over 6 years ago – Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 02:35:52 AM

Two for the price of one! We passed two stretch goals in the night, that's what we like to see :)

.

With the two FREE dashboards that means every core backer can field two teams of four at the same time.

.

With SG29 unlocked the Purge are now more individual (for identical robots built on an assembly line) with each Harvester having their own sculpt.

Stalky, Grabby, Glarey and Runny, the Fab Four.

.

SG30 come with 6 more Class boards for a bit more variety, want two Hunters on the same team? Why not? SG30 unlocks at £151K.

.

Stretch Goal 31 features 5 more Event cards, with the 5 FREE Event cards already offered that raises the intial number of cards from 15 to 25! SG31 unlocks at £155K.

 .

We've now unlocked two more add-ons. We've also gone through the alphabet and have started on A again :)

.

More walls to make bigger and more complex layouts. These sheets are always popular.

.

And even more walls but with a touch of girder-ness and a dash of conduit. Nice :)

Even more reveals on the upcoming Purge additions...

They're getting closer... thanks to your experienced crew you have done well so far to hold back the Harvesters, Devastators, Assassins and even the dreaded Live One. Clearly those weapons you have salvaged and bought have made you brash, as you shoot down the Purge from your positions of cover... Then you hear screams of fear and a humming noise followed by silence... your move!...

The Purge are breaking through... quick run to the chopper!!... err, I mean shuttle!!!

Expect another update later today with details on how you can get hold of the Shuttle, you're going to need it :)

Arrival imminent ... :)

Well, we've been asked for this on every one of our Kickstarter campaigns so finally after even more requests on this, our 5th campaign, we thought... maybe we can make this thing... let's give it a go!

So, here is the sneak peek you've been waiting for...

The Shuttle...

Handy hand held size :oD
Handy hand held size :oD

.

Whether you've backed the Standard or Titan pledge the Shuttle is the perfect size for the Core Space game and can easily fit onto the game board. Just make a room big enough and place it ready for a cool mission.

"I'm keeping her warm... don't be long"
"I'm keeping her warm... don't be long"

.

The shuttle may be compact enough to easily fit on the board, but it's also roomy enough to fit up to 5 crew members, four in the hold and one in the cockpit. It has a lift off roof and you can open the cockpit to pop in a crew member to use as a pilot.

"Its empty quick... lets go!"
"Its empty quick... lets go!"

.

As you know, Battle Systems is all about the interior space, so no expense was spared on the inside of this shuttle... all the best struts and cables were used :oD

Lots of room for characters and cargo alike

Handy access for your pilot so they can glide... like a leaf on the wind :)

"Right so here's the plan.... we all rush out and shoot, grab stuff and leg it back here!"
"Right so here's the plan.... we all rush out and shoot, grab stuff and leg it back here!"

.

The shuttle was only just finished today so we still crossing the T's and dotting the lowercase J's and will reveal how you can get your hands on this bad boy tomorrow.

That's not all...

Don't forget we still have something else to reveal too... we should have this ready for you on Saturday in the last 24 hours :)

Even more revealed... any guesses :)

So until tomorrow....

STAY TUNED!!!

Then SG29 is the two new Harvester poses so that the four Harveys are all unique sculpts :)

These guys are totally in to it. Look at them, getting down :)

TITAN!!!

In the meantime we've now made the Titan pledge into an add-on! This means you can keep your Early Bird and have a Titan! Or alternatively you can have a Titan pledge and have the core pledge as add-on A! Or any other complicated arrangement. 

The Titan add-on is identical to the pledge with all the same FREE stretch goals and add-ons.

THE TITAN!!!!!

.

We will also make the Cyberpunk walls and plastic clips into add-ons, they're currently being artworked.

Crews as add-ons & a sneak peek!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Dec 13, 2017 at 11:13:03 AM

And there goes Tirgarde, probably stashing a lump sum into an off planet bank account no one knows about, sneaky devil :)

"No, I wasn't modelled on a Thunderbird!"
"No, I wasn't modelled on a Thunderbird!"

 .

SG27 is the big pile of Equipment tokens (yours will be packed much neater :) unlocking at £139K.

Beware The Blob! In cardboard form!

After that we have the extra dashboards for Stretch Goal 28 unlocked at ???

Sleek. Designed. White. Dashboard. From Battle Systems.

.

Then a cool Purge upgrade - two new poses for the Harvesters! We'll officially call them Mr. Runny and Mr. Glarey.

You could probably line them all up to make them look like they're disco dancing :)

.

With Tirgarde unlocked that's the last of the crew of the Ion Hope so the crews of the Cygnus, the Black Maria and the Ion Hope are now available as add-ons W, X and Y respectively.

 

 

.

So, what have we got lined up next? How about the ((DELETED)) and the ((REDACTED)) not to mention the ((CENSORED)) if we have time at the end? Have a quick sneak peek at this:

I could tell you but Colin would snap my pencils :)

Where it's at :)

The Beck's are on us! :)  

Partly based on the actor Jesse Eisenberg (when he played Lex Luthor with a big blonde 'do) Beck looks young for his age so is often underestimated when the shooting starts - which is a big mistake as Beck has a finely honed sense of survival.

"I'll kick you all in the nuts. Even the ladies."
"I'll kick you all in the nuts. Even the ladies."

.

Tirgarde not only has a finely honed sense of survival he has every intention of thriving. Unbeknownst to his fellow traders Tirgarde has a sizeable sum stashed away in preparation for an early retirement and a long and comfortable dotage. Tirgarde unlocks at £135K.

"Sure i'm in it for the money. What else, my health?"
"Sure i'm in it for the money. What else, my health?"

.

A small mountain of Equipment tokens just fell out of the rafters so we decided to make it into an SG!

Twice the chance of finding that rare item!

.

After a bit of umming and ahhing we've decided to throw in a couple of extra dashboards. We fully believe that you should field three of your minis and keep one in reserve but you're totally gonna put all four out, aren't you? :)

Beck and Tirgarde are covered :)

THE MINIATURES MEGA DEAL!

In case you missed it Add-on T is a stonking deal!12 minis including a new trader crew who are only available as an add-on, 5 character specific Event cards, a mission and a partridge in a pear tree (partridge and pear tree may not actually appear except in my head).  Cast your eyeball stalks over this if you haven't already done so:

A bunch of minis and a mission for cut price? Of course, come in :)

Now at this time of the evening I like to place a petri dish under a squirrel. But that's just me, let's look at the FABLED TANGERINE BANNER OF WAY TOO MUCH FREE STUFF ARE YOU SURE WE CAN AFFORD THIS COLIN WELL IF YOU SAY SO BUT BLIMEY THAT'S A LOT IS THIS THING STILL RECORDING??

Careful, lads, if that falls out of the rigging we're all going to hospital!
