Alpha Simian
And the downloadable inlays are yours!
We've knocked over 5 stretches today - and there's still more to come!
Right, we’re still got this bad boy left to get!
$565,000 – Alpha Simian
Alpha Simians are large beasts from the jungle worlds of Inera, competitive aliens that enjoy the thrill that comes from a 200mph weapons-grade titanium being flung around a small enclosed arena. Alpha Simians are not the dumb brutes that they are often made out to be – the most famous among them is Toutanka, a maverick Corporation owner and star DreadBall player affectionately dumbed “Hank” – though there are those, like in every society, that simply prefer to keep things primitive and batter the opposition instead…
If we hit this goal, we will be able to fund Alpha Simian – the third of our Multi-hex beasties! You will be able to pick this beastie as the one you want free with Striker! and we'll make it available in the extras for just $12 as well! Multi-hex miniatures are not team specific and will be able to play for multiple races.
And there you have it guys - let's get Alpha Simian! With just 42 hours to go, it's still all to play for this weekend!

Comments
Creator Skysis on September 30, 2012
Couple of comments:
1. if this is a futuristic game, you really shouldn't use imperial measurements like miles per hour, use metric instead (200mph = 300 km/h).
2. Just glanced through the rules, don't know if the game manual has been finalized and printed, but I noticed a persistent misuse of the word "dice." Dice is the plural form of die. So 1 die, but 2 dice and so on. Hope there is time to make those changes, let me know if you need someone to do a thorough proofreading for grammar, content, etc.
Creator Dan Scarfe on September 29, 2012
I think teams of 14 plus prone would easily go in too.
Thinking on it I forgot to list that my BB teams are in these too.
Really handy cases imo.
Creator Franz on September 29, 2012
Thank you for the answer Dan, looks like I will have to consider the purchase of a few boxes : that game and his-ancestor-that-shall-not-be-named will mean LOADS of miniatures to arrange...
Creator Dan Scarfe on September 29, 2012
Yeah space for the bases is fine.
Many in my group use these for necromunda, Mordheim, malifaux etc one warband in each.
Biggest I have is 18 in one but there's probably be room for more.
Printable inserts whether yours or store purchased are cool for when they're all slotted in.
What I wonder is if the box comes with Mantic Points!?
I'm 3 short of getting something.
Creator Franz on September 29, 2012
I have two questions for the owners of these miniatures carry cases :
- is it really large enough to put 20 infantry miniatures in, with still a little space left between each figure ( in order not to damage the paint by contact or friction) ?
- can the miniatures be stored in it with a 25 / 30 mm base ?
Creator Robert Wheeler on September 29, 2012
@Anthony Not agreed. There are quite a few people who are using the small cases that really want and like those inserts. I'm not one of them, but somthing for everyone. Personally, I find the prone markers a waste, but people like you want them.
Creator crveatch on September 29, 2012
@Mark
Still boring to someone who knows Photoshop. You can do all of that with less restrictions if you just have a little know how. But I understand this is for those who don't or won't.
Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on September 29, 2012
This is what Mantic posted in the comments:-
"Customizable sheets that you can fit into the white cases we do :) Gives you a method of personalizing your cases in your team colours, put on your own logos, team name. Heck, you even keep track of your teams victories on the back if you want! Or keep track of the names you've given what player."
Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on September 29, 2012
@Anthony, @crveatch; The inserts are not just single designs - we'll be able to put our own logos, colours, team names, etc, and apparently we be able to put rosters, etc on the back or something, if what I read was correct ...
Creator crveatch on September 29, 2012
@Anthony
Agreed. As cool as Mantic makes them I'm sure a fan online will make some 10x better.
That said thanks anyway Mantic for keeping the goals rolling out.
Creator Anthony Cerrato on September 29, 2012
I think prone markers for the season 2 teams would have been a much better choice for the two little 5k goals instead of those inserts, which, while nice, are really just useless and a bit of a waste of the 5k.
Creator James Shields on September 29, 2012
Love the big ape! I've been working on an ape army that started with the ape gangsters from the old Judge Dredd miniatures back in the '80s, so I might need one for DB and one for that!
Creator Mantic Games on September 29, 2012
@ Matt - really? lol
@ Luke - on the front page we've got a range of white DVD-style cases that you can store your figures in (they come with foam inserts!) You can also insert inlays as a cover, and personalise them to suit your team.
Creator Matt Houghton on September 29, 2012
The monkey reminds me of ALF from that old tv show !!
Creator Luke Wilson on September 29, 2012
What are download inlays?
Creator euansmith on September 29, 2012
Giant Apes? Where is Hellboy when you need him?
Creator Anton Kuchman on September 29, 2012
@David - the cardboard version is already there as "Season 3: Ultimate Pitch - Multiplayer Arena - $20"
The middle part of the Ultimate pitch for the MDF and acrylic boards will be available after the end of this project, but before the shipping date so that you can add it then.
Creator Overhamsteren on September 29, 2012
As far as I can tell the Ultimate Pitch is already available, it is listed over the other two pitches, it just doesn't have any picture.
So adding $20 to the pledge should do the trick and you pick the ultimate pitch after the kickstarter ends?
Creator Jasper Leenarts on September 29, 2012
I guess the goal at $585k will be the season 2 inlays ;-)
Like the ape, but think I go for the nameless biggie.
Creator Mason on September 29, 2012
I think blue will be a good color for "Hank"
Creator David Schrier on September 29, 2012
Will the ultimate pitch be available in the extras before the kickstarter is over ?
Creator Jonathan McGee on September 29, 2012
Liking the inlays, if the models turns out anything like the concepts this is going to be one beautiful set of minis to paint : )
Creator Ropya on September 29, 2012
Did they say that stuff could be added after the end?
Because that is NOT SOP.
Creator Andrew Hannagan on September 28, 2012
Aw man I really want a giant chimp!!
Creator Kevin van der Vleuten on September 28, 2012
Man, this overgrown chimp looks amazing!
The inlays are pretty nice add-ons too.
Creator Michael Harsch on September 28, 2012
@Charles, you can add to your pledge after the KS ends, with add ons.. I am actually going to lower mine since I have an unplanned work trip, and will readd it all after payday.. I don't have any more KS's ending after the 15th (I have 3 ending between now and then, and one of them is $165, and it isn't this one lol)
Creator Charles on September 28, 2012
I'm officially tapped out and won't be adding anything more to my pledge (which is almost triple what it started as originally). The new big figures look great for sure and I still feel like I'm getting a great value. I just hope I can start playing the base game by Christmas at this point.
Creator Anton Kuchman on September 28, 2012
I actually think the inlays are a cool little touch for the KS backers since we will not be getting the pretty retail packaging for our teams. And yes -- it goes without saying that the Simian is wicked cool =)
Perhaps we could get another giant to choose from so that we can play 2 on 2 giants-only games on the S1 pitch =)
Creator Joseph Prozinski on September 28, 2012
Gone for a few minutes and boom, the total level jumps by 3,000 and we've got a new goal achieved!
