Yes - in effect Striker is a set which grows. Order more than one set and you get multiples of whatever it becomes. So currently they have said Striker will be 80 models (I think they said that!) if they hit $400,000. Get 3 sets, get 240 models.

more things to clear up
on Striker:
Do we get a team of (8,10,12) females or just 2

footnote:
please make a female keeper even if we have to buy her separate.

Striker gets just 2 female Corp models base. It would be another $20 to get a team on top of that.

Slightly confused with the $210,000 goal. Will any keepers be added to the packages or is the goal just to fund them and we can pay an extra $15 to add them?

Also, for those of us who like to design pitches, does anyone know the dimensions of the hexes? Or is it not that important as there is no range ruler issue as there is in BB?

There's no ruler like BB, but the hexes are 25mm one flat end to the other.

I beleive you have to pay extra - $15 for 4 which I think is half retail?

Yep $15 to add all 4 to your pledge, its a special KS deal. They have an MDF board as an extra for those that want to design their own pitch, it just hasn't been photographed yet.

The tickets will grant you access to a DreadBall tournament at one of three locations:

Tabletop Nation in Essex, UK on the 10th of November 2012
Adepticon 2013, USA
Any DreadBall event held at the Mantic Bunker in Nottingham, UK

If you can't attend any of these, you get a cool signed ticket :)

You also won't have to pay any sales tax - the only tax you may have to pay is the customs fees when your parcel arrives - you should check with your local post office for more information.

Update #36 · Sep. 14, 2012 · 1 comment

With just over two weeks left to go we’re now approaching the quarter of a million dollars mark – a truly exceptional amount. With that in mind we really wanted to say thank you, so we’ve put together two new stretch goals…

$242,500 – Mee-kel Judwan, Superstar Sportsman – Season 2 MVP
What is there to say about this Superstar Sportsman other than if we hit this goal, we’ll sculpt him and include him free with Jack and Striker!

Image

Mee-Kel Judwan - Cool, calm and collected!

$250,000 – Full Roster
This is a truly monumental milestone and we’re going to take this opportunity to upgrade your rewards with loads more figures. If we hit this goal, we will do the following…

1) At Guard ($30) – in addition to the digital copy of the Season 2 rules already included, we will add the Season 2 teams to the list of what you can pick from and add a free MVP to every team chosen at this level.

2) At Keeper ($80) – we will complete your team roster and add in eight models, making for a total of 14 Corporation and 14 Marauders! We will also add a DreadBall Decal sheet with four sets of numbers 1-14 in four different fonts, making Keeper worth over $120.

Image

3) At Jack ($100) – In addition to all of the extras at Jack, we will add in nine models – 4 Corporation Players and 4 Marauder Players to complete your team rosters, as well as 1 Female Corporation Player (so eventually you'll get one of every player from Season 2!). Couple this with all of the MVPs you've got and you’ll be spoilt for choice as to what you actually play with in your team! We’ll also add the decal sheet, making Jack worth around $200.

4) At Striker! ($150) – We will complete the rosters of all four teams, adding in twelve new models – 2 Corporation, 2 Marauders, 4 Veer-myn and 4 Forge Fathers – and a decal sheet to make Striker! worth over $300!

Once we've completed your team rosters, we’ll do the Z’zor (where you’ll get one Z’zor in Jack, two in Striker and we’ll make the team available as part of the Buy One Get One Free!)

Please help us spread the word - the more backers that support us now, the quicker we can add more free models in!
And if that's enough...

We’ve done some tidy-ups to the main page today, introducing new graphics and making all of the MVPs available so as add-ons (we’ve hit our character limit on the main page too so I’m sure you’ll appreciate more photos of cool minis and less waffle!) Here's am exa... oh, I wonder who that could be?

Image

Anyway, we’ve also taken the opportunity to include the Referee and some extra Balls as an add-on as well!

Happy hunting >:D
This update is really great. I hope a lof of players who weren't sure, will pledge, so that we still get more and more shiny stuff!!!!
