UPDATE 14:

Hi everyone,

In today's update we have finalised details on our exact miniature range for our 300k min funding level. Once we've hit this (fingers, legs, arms, talons crossed!) then we can get into adding many other figures to the range through stretch goals and we'll be redoing the stretch goals quite soon so that you can see a clearer picture on exactly what they are! I know you've been eager for this list so without further ado:

Custom Army List

NuHu

NuHu are the masters and most profiles species of the Concord and of the Isorian Shard – but rarely are they seen putting themselves in danger. Those that must are volunteers of unusual temperament and courage for their species. NuHu don’t form units of troopers but specialist individuals within a force.

Algoryn Troopers

The Algoryn Prosperate is a powerful group of worlds within the Determinate and one of the chief enemies of the Gwar. The Algoryn are adapted to high levels of radiation and very hot temperatures, with thick, gnarly skins, dense musculature and bony outgrowths over their eyes that shield them from the radioactive glare of the Algoryn suns. They have a relatively high civilisation level and trade Concord technology through Freebooter traders.

UPDATE 15:

Happy Friday everyone!

We've all been working hard listening to the things you've been talking about and are extremely excited to be releasing TWO full updates today. The first is part 3 of Kev's Hansa - which is coming together rather well we think - and the second is... well you'll have to wait a little while for the second one, but we're really very excited by it, so much so in fact that after we'd spent all day filming yesterday we then spent most of the night making sure we could get it to you today.

Here's Kev's Hansa Part 3

Head over to the forums to let us know what you think

UPDATE 16:

Hey Everyone!

We recorded this yesterday and got really excited about it so we just had to get it to you today.

We've used place-holder miniatures, markers and dice - as we haven't built those yet! We've also used small units sizes as it's easier to convey on video what's going on - the game easily scales to bigger sized units and with many more units on the table.

Hopefully you will start to see how fluid the game mechanics are, and head over to theforums to discuss and give us your feedback. We're moving onto the actions and combat status videos right now, so you'll have them soon - thanks for watching!

Help us spread the word

If this email is interesting why not forward it to your friends?

We need to make sure everybody knows about us, so we’ve made some helpful artwork to help spread the word. GoA is all about involving you guys right at the start and our first job is to get us funded! So get creative on it, anything you can think of to spread the word from wandering around your home town with a robot WarDrone suit on (ok, so we haven’t actually made any but a simple cardboard box with the words “I’m a WarDrone – Pledge NOW or my IMTel nano-drones will infect you” will probably work!) to downloading this PDF (http://www.darkspacecorp.com/ks-flyer/), emailing it to your friends and relatives, printing it out and handing it out to literally everyone you come across, you can even get some blu-tack and stick it on the foreheads of shop owners if you like! (apologies if you are actually a shop owner… stick it to a customer’s forehead perhaps? )

Anyway, the point is: If you tell as many people as possible there’s a much better chance of us first: hitting our funding target, and second: hitting some of our stretch goals and ultimately giving you even more cool stuff to play with.

Here’s the arty stuff: we’ve got banners, forum avatars and even facebook covers!
