Do I need them? No. Will I get them. Probably - easier than lugging 3 (soon to be 4) rule books around.
also a very good idea, some one should really make a bloodbowl app like this.

About $20000 from unlocking the first "free" team - Plague Mutants, and if they come out like the artwork will be better than the ones in Deadzone.

BEARDY!!!
So Mantic decides to wait well into the Kickstarter to decide us that they are using a different plastic. (and much crappier ... unless someone has Mars Attacks and can objectively comment on the quality of Board Game v/s miniature game plastic)

Well, I've no idea what that means, but I don't see an issue with them posting an update reminding people of something they said right from the get go - it's not like they kept it a secret or have changed what they were doing.

Not positive the intent, but it is a comment/slur at the President of the US. :(

Mars Attacks ships after Dreadball KS ends, right? Loka can be a reference of the type of plastic, from what I have read. Or Gears of War boardgame.

I eat crow
I checked out the Gears of War models and they are nice
They were not painted and the guy using them had no real plans to paint them so I guess they will take paint fine
