Howdy Citizens!
Quick update for today, as we are locking down the cards and rules, all of the sculpts are on the way to the casters.
All of you who confirmed New Citizen Add-on - please know that they are all shipping as we speak (last to go out tomorrow, unless you informed us to hold on to them).
On the creative front, we have advanced some of the Supreme Genesis concepts with the awesome backers, here's a little sneak peek!
Piston - rough and ready Hero/Villain wearing an exo-skeleton.
Speakeasy - fog-bound ethereal Infiltrator.
Rabble-Rouser - rock 'n roll Hero/Villain party-loving satyr!
That is all for the week,
Best to you,
Maciej & The Team
Spotlight on Red Robots
over 10 years ago
– Mon, Dec 07, 2015 at 08:45:52 PM
The dream of Prof. Hammer’s war time days has been realized at last - a fearless soldier, unafraid to charge the enemy guns no matter the cost. Two basic classes are commonly seen leading any Red Republik attack. Buzzkill uses its heavier armor and powered saw to close with the enemy. The Gunner usually stands off, firing artillery at the enemy and breaking up close formations.
On the table both Red Robots use the Repair Action (AP 1, FX: Self/Heal 1) to stay in game. They also have Voltshock (CCM, AP 1, FX: Damage 1) to deal with any enemy that gets too close. The Buzzkill is a Tank that uses its tougher defense to bring the deadly Buzzsaw (AP 2; FX: Damage 2 and Follow UP) to bear on enemies. The Gunner is a Blaster equipped with a Cannon (AP 2; IND 6; FX: Damage 1 and Blast 3) that can rain explosion on the enemy.
Both the Buzzkill and Gunner are Troopers allowing you to have up to three of each in a Red Republik team. Their ability to heal themselves means you can make the best use of some of Prof. Hammer’s or S.P.U.T.N.I.K.’s powers to enhance and move these units, then have them Heal back up from any Damage. While individually they are slow and mediocre Level 1 choices, when combined with the Red Republik’s Supremes they become more dangerous and a powerful menace that cannot be ignored.

Hello to our backers!
Here we are with our latest Progress Thursday update.
The Minis:
Firstly, the most important thing for us and you: everything is now sculpted! That is very important for us as it keeps us on course to fulfil pledges as we stated in the campaign. The last sculpts to be finished are in this post – Baroque and the Robo Dogs.
As soon as all the minis are with us at Pulp Monsters central we will get them to our casting partner.
BackerKit: A reminder that we will lock down the Pledge Manager on December 15th, so don’t forget to complete yours!
Supreme Genesis – Cold War
Our Cold war Supreme Genesis backers have given us initial indications as to what each wants for their creation. Over the next few weeks we look forward to working with them to shape the concepts the way they want!
Take care, and stay with us for next week’s Progress Thursday!
Leon & the Team.
BackerKit Update #2

Shipping Costs Update
If you have completed the BackerKit Survey you might have been erroneously charged $15 for shipping. We would like to blame this on S.P.U.T.N.I.K.’s Mind Control Powers as part of a fiendish plot. Truth is we just made a mistake when setting up the survey. This has now been corrected. We would also like to thank those who have pointed out this error to us. Thank you guys!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Fan Pledge Level
If you pledged for the $1 Fan level pledge you might have noticed that you do not have the option to add Add-Ons to your pledge. This was done on purpose and is not an error with BackerKit. If you would like to upgrade your pledge you certainly can but the Fan option does not include Add-Ons.
The Good News
As a Fan level backer you will be among the first to be invited to our Pre-Order Page. Once we have completed shipping we will open the Pre-order page to all backers, including Fan’s. From here you can pick up additional models before they are released in the Web Store, but after all other orders have been delivered.
BackerKit Lockdown Date
In order to process things in a timely fashion we will be locking down the BackerKit on December 15th. So if you have not had a chance to log in please do so before then. We will be sending out reminders but wanted to give you all advanced warning. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me directly at:

Happy Thanksgiving to our American Friends!
Quick update this week.
A couple of great news:
Backerkit: You guys ROCK! A day after it launched, already a half of you got back to us and completed the pledgemanager! Thanks! This makes it so much easier.
Production: Cost summary was done (in some cases based on estimates).
Models: Still waiting for the last ones, but here's Prisoner ##176. He will be complete when we cast his arms in resin. The way he is built, you will be able to cut the arms and reassemble in any way you like.
Take care, enjoy your holiday weekend if you are in the US or just have a blast of Friday when you are anywhere else!
