Wenn ich mich an den vorherigen Kikstarter richtig erinnere, sieht dies hier sogar richtig hübsch aus. Auch die Spielbretter sehen interessant aus. Brauchen tu ich es nicht, da ich nicht noch ein System anfangen will, drück den Jungs aber trotzdem die Daumen.
Schade, der Größenvergleich ist unbrauchbar. Wenn kein Marine in Space abgebildet ist, kann ich nicht einschätzen, wie groß die Minis sind.

Warmaschine in Space?
Ich find das ganz interessant. Hab aber in letzter Zeit das Gefühl, dass KS die nicht ala cmon (hunderte von strechgoals zu anfixen) aufgebaut sind Recht dahin dümpeln.
Auch hab ich den Eindruck das viele KS trotz erreichen der Finanzierung einfach abgebrochen werden, weil bspw. „Nur“ das doppelte erreicht wurde. Dann braucht es aber kein Finanzierungsziel mehr
stimme dir zum Teil zu:
bei vielen Projekten hat man das Gefühl eine Sparversion als Grund angeboten zukommen und erst die ersten ca. 10 SG bieten das was mal geplant war und damit auch die eigentlich gewünschte Geldsumme- wenn die dann nicht erreicht wir sieht`s halt für alle mau aus und entweder verlassen die Backer das Projekt oder der Anbieter zieht die Reißleine
Persönlich freue ich mich immer über Nischenprojekte die gut laufen und statt 500-1000€ dann bei 2000-3000 landen- gibt oft wenig Bonus aber viel Sympathie und nette Menschen
