So... It's not just me skimming the updates, right.
There really hasn't been any news on the SotC chibi miniatures for a loooong time?

This was posted from the July 31st Update - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/27 ... ts/1950799

"- A week ago we had a meeting with Ninja Division to discuss the Chibi Bundle and production. We're waiting on an update proposal to share with you all - not long now and sorry for the wait on this. "

It appears based on the May 19th update and July 31st update that the two companies are working on a "new proposal." I assume the cost of the original proposal/production was not feasible for one or both sides.

I had a meeting last week with Ninja Division who have confirmed they're working out the chibi bundle as a Super Dungeon Explore Warband, we should have the finalised contents this week and cost - sorry it's taking a while they've been really snowed under with a lot of projects.

Confirmation that SDE-SotC will be a warband.
That means heroes, mini-boss and a full spawnpoint. I'm crossing my fingers for paired spawners.

Is there some reason to think they are changing the makeup of the spawn point from what was previously announced?

My guess? Same reason it always is: "Money"

That's a reason it might change, not that it did change.
We've already seen the Ezoghoul for the mini-boss, and they've announced the Nephrite spawn point (1 Nephrite mobile spawner, 3 Necromutants, 3 Legionnaires), leaving only the hero for the Warband but my guess would be that they bundle in all the heroes but Murdoch. It would have been interesting if they said level box but Warband doesn't leave much room for speculation.

My thought would be that it would be a deluxe levl box like with the ninja ambush. They pony up all the heroes in it with 2 spawn points worth of dudes and at least 1 (if not 2) ezoghoul mini boss (es). It makes more sense that way as they can sell it retail and force people to buy everything rather than just picking and choosing.

It's not going to retail. Modiphius might sell extra stock on their site or at conventions but that's it.

Except there never having been much clarity of exactly what we were getting?
And people wanting to buy ONE box and be able to play e.g. a game of Arena.
People were displeased with the thought of having to buy two sets just to field a themed Arena game or even normal SDE game. Iirc the first proposed deal even gave you a useless surplus of some models.
It's all shaping up I think, but this whole thing wasn't really thought through from the beginning.

Anyways Idunno... To me it sounds like there's still a lot of balls in the air on SPM's side of the court.

When did the purchase structure change? I waited until almost the last day to finalize my pledge and still ended up with the "useless surplus" options of purchasing...

Hi guys we have some news on the long awaited chibi bundle. We've just finished a series of calls with the Ninja Division team to nail down details. We can announce that there will be a special Dark Legion Warband fully playable in the Super Dungeon Explore boardgame.

The Dark Legion Warband will come with the following:

8 x chibi Legionnaires
4 x chibi Necromutants
1 x chibi Necromutant
1 x chibi Ezoghoul
All the cards needed for the Dark Legion Warband AND all 5 chibi heroes.
The Necromutant counts as a mobile spawn point. This bundle will be $75 and includes everything you need to play. We'll be updating the Pledge Manager to allow you to select the Dark Legion Warband and previewing an image of the contents to remind you how they look early next week. Please be patient until it's ready.
