Pacific Rim Extinction - Kickstarter Unboxing

So this unexpectedly turned up at my door today.

I backed this kickstarter because it is A. Pacific Rim (those movies are awesome). B. pre painted, so i can just get stuck in and C. had a pretty cheap base pledge.  The above is the base pledge.

Let's get stuck in.

Very nice box.  Visually appealing.  Me likey.

The miniatures and dice.  I liked the stepped insert for the cards.

There's 4 sizes of card.  All with different functions.  I've not read the rules yet, so I've no idea what everything does.

Rulebook.  It's not too thick, so I'm assuming this game is pretty simple.

The dashboards for the minis.

A double sided paper game mat.  I would have preferred card, but you can't have everything.  I do like that one side is a city and the other is the ocean floor.

Tokens, buildings and whatnot.

Shrikethorn.  Pretty cool looking.

Gypsy Avenger.  FUCK YEAH!

Scrapper.  A kickstarter exclusive.  Imma have to paint this one.

Now on to Hakuja, one of the wave one expansions

You get it's dashboard

Hakuja looks pretty cool.


Now to the next wave one expansion
Gypsy Danger.  FUCK YEAH!

Gypsy's dashboard.

I wanna use this one.

And the final wave one expansion that came with my pledge.

Saber Athena.

Dashboard.

Saber Athena has laser blades.

All the expansions come with pilot cards and upgrades.  I forgot to take pictures of them.

I really want to get a few games of this.  Pacific Rim is awesome.  The prepaints aren't anything to write home about, but their better than most prepaints on the market.  Repainting them is an option, but I'm going to leave mine as is.  I've got enough to paint as is.

Conan extras - Demon Of the Earth

Next in the unboxing line is the Demon of the Earth.  I'm pretty sure this is a kickstarter excludive.



Inside is the demon of the earth

and it's over lord tiles, two are in English and two are french.  This thing rolls 4 orange dice on the attack, which is going to hurt.

Conan extras- Vanir Valkyrie

Lets get this straight.  This is Red Sonja.  The backers of the kickstarter wanted Red Sonja, but Monolith said no, she's not part of the Conan-verse.  But the backers insisted, so Monolith made a "not Red Sonja" in the form of Vanir Valkyrie.





See.


Red Sonja

Overlord cards.  I'm not sure which are the French versions.
Hero dashboard.

Conan Kickstarter unboxing part 2

I think these are the kickstarter exclusives, but don't quote me on that.  They're not in the base game box so I'm just going on the assumption that I'm right.






The box is as just as rammed as the main game.  On to the contents



A dice bag

A butt load of hero dashboards.  You even get some for the bad guys in case you wanted to run a bad guy game.


A booklet with more scenarios.  You get one in French too.


More dice.  This rectifies the problem with the base game... there wasn't enough.


Equipment and spells.  You get French versions too.


The Thaug.  The Thaug is cool.  Don't mess with the Thaug.


Skull piles, because reasons.


Tentacles.   There's ten of them.

Alternate guard sculpts.  there's five of these. 

Pict archers, there's also five of these.


Two different sculpts of mummies, five of each sculpt.


Two different sculpts of skeletons, again there's five of each sculpt.
