Mars Attacks Newsletter - The Tiger Corps

More Mars Attacks fun and games.....

From far out in space the Martians have been watching mankind's progress for centuries and have decided that the time is right for invasion. Years of covert missions have prepared them for this day— the day that MARS ATTACKS! The brand new Mars Attacks: Invasion trading cards launch in stores this weekend, bringing the Martian Assault into the modern era… and there was no way we were going to let that pass without a big party on the Mars Attacks Kickstarter! Featuring prominently in the new Invasion cards are the Tiger Corps, a band of heroes who have been a constant thorn in the side of the Martian Empire for some time. Hmm, would look good in Deadzone, don't you think? As part of the Kickstarter, we’re sculpting and releasing a set of Tiger Corps miniatures. These are a fantastic range of great looking figures based on the previously unseen cards. They will sell individually for $8 each, and as a bundle for $25. However, to celebrate the Invasion cards being released, we’re giving away fivemembers of the Tiger Corps free of charge for anyone who has backed the Mars Attacks Kickstarter with a pledge of The Will of Man ($100) before Midnight Sunday 3rd November! Here's an example piece of concept art for one of the members, a soldier called Shadow: Tiger Corps - Shadow, example concept art This is on top of the Kickstarter Exclusive General Tor in alternate pose, who will be included in any pledge of the starter set (a pledge level called The Front Line - $75) and up made before Midnight Sunday 27th October! Pledge now and avoid missing out on your Kickstarter Exclusive figure - only 2 days remain! PLUS - if you missed it before, you'll notice we know have a $1 pledge level. If you want anything from the add-ons - that's scenery, US troops, maybe even the awesomeMartian USB stick or Martian T-shirt - but not the base game, just click this level and enter the total amount of the add-ons you want! And finally... We have just passed the ½ way point in the Kickstarter, and momentum quickly picks up again as we charge headlong towards the finish line. We have some fantastic models and ideas for the second half of the Kickstarter. We are just about to fund the big Robots – which looks fantastic. We have also received a picture of the Mutant Bug – which we really hope will get funded before the end too. Alongside we have a few more heroes, we have a series of cooperative play scenarios, a way to play the game solo and more scenery choices. We are really excited about where this will go to after such an incredible start. So, please pop on over to the Kickstarter and join the Invasion! We would love to have you aboard!
