      As to the helmet - I think that it would share a lot of properties with corporation teams like the 29ers, and it really looks like a Corporation helmet.

      Just met the goal. Come on alternate sculpts!

      "Alternate sculpts 100% over Cheerleaders or prone figs. Having multiple poses for every position would be fantastic and really help sell the game. Ideally, you should be scraping the bottom of the barrel team-wise before you have to put a duplicate pose on the pitch."

      "Alternate sculpt me up to the max, please!"

      "+1 for alternate sculpts over prone figures "

      come on - I reckon we still have lots more stretch goals to go before this campaigns up - we NEED alternate sculpts for teh basic minis.

      By tokens I mean small ones a la Warmachine for "knocked down" placed next/on the figure base, not large ones replacing figures completely.

      +1 for alternate sculpts over prone figures (can use tokens or put models on the side for those), but would love to see cheerleaders, especially if they have an in-game effect =)

      FWIW I havent the slightest interest in cheerleaders. I will have my hands full trying to get the teams themselves painted, without having to paint sideline staff too. A coach is as far as I will be going regarding that.

      I dont even know why anyone would want prone figures for a game like Dreadball. It sounds like an irritating way to disrupt gameplay and needlessly increase play time to me.

      Alt sculpts for the various positions all the way please, starting with the Forgefathers an Veer-myn and moving on through the Season 2 teams and beyond.

      To put in my 2¢ about the femcorp keeper's helmet...Love it. Looks perfect for a goalie, scanning and planning destruction.

       Creator Artem Stepin on September 21, 2012

       Let me also support the idea of 'more flexibility in ordering keepers'. If I pledge Jack and add Fem Corp or Zzor (or both) it makes more sense getting keepers for these teams than for Delvers and Stealers which I wouldn't be able to use.

   11. 

       Creator Matt Houghton on September 21, 2012

       Cheerleaders ,,, errr no thank you !!! Prone figs !!!! No real point it's not going to save time in game !!! Would rather have a template to put under mini to show his injured state !!! Like a oil of blood !!

       Creator Darkson on September 21, 2012

       It would be cool to see helmet C from the female team used as the keeper helmet. As for the other goals I'm not to keen on Cheerleaders or Prone figures. It would be nice to see more Alien MVPs or variant sculpts for the teams. Multipul poses for the Judwan is a must to make the team exciting to see on the gameboard.

   13. 

       Creator Vince Higgs on September 21, 2012

       I second the call for more flexibility in ordering keepers - the 'free' keepers in the BOGOF aren't much use if I'm not interested in getting those teams/races. (But I love the keeper concept!)

       Posting on behalf of Hellebore:
       Just because guards are upgrades doesn't mean a hypothetical master striker would be identical. You might only get a max of 3-6 in your team. Keepers get more than a punt abvility, they get 3+ armour on 4 dice, making them really hard. The master striker suggestion only gives the stirker the abilitty to choose where the ball bounces, it does nothing for his armour, speed or anything else. Mechanically it simply allows the judwan to do something else in the game without ending their turn in the process. The season 2 teams do not have rules written for them as yet, so there is no dangerous precedent to set. season 2 would simply list MS as an upgrade skill that only X players could have. Not that I really think it's particularly powerful, unless yiou have your players shadowing every opponent in order to ensure they get the biounce off, it doesn't do anything different to a normal throw against an opposing player..

       Creator Mystic Weasel on September 21, 2012

       Master striker sounds like an awesome idea, but i would rather it is left for a 2nd Judwan MVP. 3 reasons - 1. Keeper is an upgrade to guard, everyone who uses guards can get it, Judwan don't because they have no guards. MS would be an upgrade to striker, most other teams have strikers so a seperate advancement table would be needed for the Judwan, a dangerous precedent with at least 4 teams to go. 2. Guards make up less than half and often even less of the team, all 14 judwan players will have access to this skill. 3. The keepers punt ability automatically loses the ball and ends your turn, MS offers better value for that kind of upgrade if used wisely, combined with point 2 i would worry about game balance. I would rather see a 2nd Judwan helmeted MVP, who plays in the Judwan style, but with his own (more violent) twist on it.
       Agree with most about the Female keepers helmet, not really to my liking, it doesn't really resemble a heavier version on the standard female type.

       Creator Boris Pöhlmann on September 21, 2012

       On behalf of all mixed team coaches I say: There is no "looks too much like Trontek" for a female corporation player!

       Creator Juan Abad Pinto on September 21, 2012

       Another vote for Judwan's master striker

   18. 

       Creator Omphalos on September 21, 2012

       I add to the previous comments on the helmet. I like it heavy armoured. It's just the mouth area that remind me of some masochistic toy (you know the ball you put in the mouth) ; ).

       As we now have Ronnie coach, I would had that I remember reading some comments about having league experience rules for coaches. I don't know if it's doable (depend of the coach rule of course) but it's an awesome idea.

       Creator Willem-Jan Bertram on September 21, 2012

       Yeah, more goalies. Superb news! Really enjoying how the Zz'or are fleshing out, nice mix of different bugs. The helmet on the female player does has its charge, but I'd lean more towards a Helger-type of helmet.

   20. 

       Creator cheetor on September 21, 2012

       Thats a cool stretch, count me in.

       I like the mask and helm on the female keeper.

   21. 

       Creator Lee Lowe on September 21, 2012

       Yep when I see the helmet I thought blow up doll. Maybe just a visor for the keeper?

   22. 

       Creator Kris P on September 21, 2012

       Seconded, or rather fourthed for the master striker.
       Perhaps even a very simple "I've had enough of being pushed around, I can't take it any more, the next being to push me gets pushed back" type upgrade..? It would simply make the Judwan Striker a Jack instead, or perhaps giving him the ability to slam at -1...!?

       Very simple yet effective for giving them access to something they can't do. The same as Guards and handling (lopping) the ball.

       Creator Gareth Davies on September 21, 2012

       The new keepers are looking awesome!

   24. 

       Creator Andy Marshall on September 21, 2012

       +1 re. basic alternate sculpts - i look at the green moon orc guards and shudder that it's all just one sculpt - i really ddon't want to have to take a carving knife to them just to get some variation in there!

   25. 

       Creator crveatch on September 21, 2012

       Now this is a goal I look toward to. But looks like survey says that is one fugly ass helmet, so I trust you'll do the right thing.

   26. 

       Creator Andy Marshall on September 21, 2012

       I'd hoped we could use the same 4 keepers for $15 bundle and choose which 4keepers we want - i've pledged jack and considering getting an extra 2 teams on the 2 for $25 deal, but I wouldn't get the keeper set unless I could match them with my extra teams (prob zzor and female corp, along with male corp and orc)

   27. 

       Creator Tasker on September 21, 2012

       Urggh. Ugly helmèt - looks like the head off a planet of the apes blow up doll.

   28. 

       Creator Matt Houghton on September 21, 2012

       I feel robots should get a keeper after all bolting on extra armour and protocols to a robot makes sense to me ! We still need a 4th team for season 2 :)

   29. 

       Creator Adam Collier on September 21, 2012

       I have to agree; a more feminine looking helmet would help sell the female keeper to me.

   30. 

       Creator Jason Koepp on September 21, 2012

       I'd still like a way to swap out some of the 1-2 figures from the different races that have been opened up in exchange for keepers for the 4 starter teams I'm getting in my Striker order. If that's possible, I'd love that.

   31. 

       Creator Jennifer Creagh on September 20, 2012

       Hellebore replies:
       “Master striker sounds good but then I suspect people would complain about why the other teams don't have it”
       
       Perhaps, but no more than Judwan players would complain that they can’t get keepers. It would just be an upgrade that only the judwan can get. Seems fair enough considering they lose access to what is effectively 3 positions if you include guard. Only they have the hand eye coordination to deflect balls like that, in the same way that only everyone else can be a guard and develop into keepers.

   32. 

       Creator Jonathan Lee on September 20, 2012

       @Jennifer woah i think we got a great idea here

       @sining well it kinds of makes each team unique in their ways where one is high on offensive capability while others are more proficient in other areas.

       Totally support this idea. Hope mantic picks this up from the chatter! (am sure they will noticed it :D )

   33. 

       Creator crveatch on September 20, 2012

       Jennifer seams to have the right idea for the direction of Judwans. If they specialize in being Strikers they should have specialized Strikers. And I can see a reason for Robots having their own special stylized position. Get'em ready because the next goal is less than 24 hours away.

       Creator Jennifer Creagh on September 20, 2012

       From Hellebore:
       What about a unique Judwan Striker upgrade, rather than a Keeper? To give them something interesting? Say a ‘Master Striker’. Master Strikers get to choose where the ball scatters after they’ve thrown it at an opponent. For every success the ball bounces off one hex towards the nearest Judwan player, who can catch it as normal.

       So basically they use opposing players to change the direction of the ball. A really brutal passing game. There's always the risk that they'll drop the ball, but they can take opposing players out in the process. As Judwan can throw the ball at the opponent already and they are focused on being strikers, I think allowing special upgrades in the same vein as the keeper that makes them better at it would be a cool option.

       I reckon that would be quite a spectacle for the fans, watching a team entirely made up of strikers headshotting their opponents while making inhumanly accurate passes... they’re still pacifists though, the opponent got in the way of the ball when they were passing it…

       @Kris p

       its a good price but really its the same deal we were getting before with the first keeper bundle plus a dollar. 2 minis for $8 and 4 minis for $15. at least i think thats how it works.

   37. 

       Creator Plug Uglie on September 20, 2012

       i like the way the helmet looks

       Creator Ropya on September 20, 2012

       Anyone know if the season 2 teams are getting custom dice??

   39. 

       Creator william bidleman on September 20, 2012

       The keepers are cool, but why a $15,000 stretch for 2, when it has been a goal for 4 miniatures?

   40. 

       Creator Adam Souza on September 20, 2012

       She's a Keeper. She's suppossed to be heavily armored. An exposed face or eyes could result in serious injury for a player who can except to get hit in the face with balls.

   41. 

       Creator Gliblit on September 20, 2012

       More feminine helmet might be cool.

   42. 

       Creator Tim Collins on September 20, 2012

       I second the call for a change to the female helmet - the top is shaped like a WW1 Tommy helmet which isn't too feminine. Perhaps having just the eyes visible too would help while keeping protection (something I'd like for Helder too). The Z'zor though...great!

   43. 

       Creator Alphawog on September 20, 2012

       Hate to see Judwan/robots get left out. Maybe a different type of upgraded player is in order? What I'd really like to see as stretch goals is increasing the variety of sculpts and maybe some extras for the BOGO 2nd season teams. Are the miniatures going to be available in smaller quantities than the 8 man team at some point?

   44. 

       Creator Gliblit on September 20, 2012

       AWESOME instant updates. And great stuff too. Looking forward to another good day.

   45. 

       Creator Kris P on September 20, 2012

       Will the buy one get one free include just the two keepers..?
       The single player price being $8 or is it just too good to be true ;), or are you going to be adding other things to that BOGOF price range..?

   46. 

       Creator David Schrier on September 20, 2012

       jacks sound good for robots, especially after the fluff of them being reinvented to be less deadly.

   47. 

       Creator Kris P on September 20, 2012

       Looking great Mantic.
       Could the Female Corp keeper have a more open or feminine helmet..?
       She looks too much like Helder and the Tronteks.

       Looking good.... Adding keepers, right now...
