Correct, nothing exact. I wonder how big delay the general project gets due to the chibis. To save on shipping everything should be delivered at the same time in my opinion. I'm also wondering does the factory handling Siege of the Citadels also manufactures chibis?

The Chibi minis aren't holding up Siege of the Citadel. The chibis were announced as Resin minis so that they won't be done in the same factory as the Siege plastics.
And the sculpting has already been done.
I mean, Modiphius did basically promise a new level box from NJ. We haven't exactly had that confirmed from NJ- but the chibi exoghoul does mean that the NJ people are on board with expanding the chibi Mutant Chronicles stuff.

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. Quote: 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.

I have the same feeling as Imriel, it sounds exactly like what they mentioned at the end of the campaign. Modiphius teased about additional miniatures, so i guess we will see in a week, unless more delays again.
I'm hoping additional miniatures for the price we paid for a full spawning point or a discount for purchasing everything to make a full spawning point.

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.

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.

Modiphius might sell extra stock on their site or at conventions but that's it.

I mean... did they SAY that recently, because they didn't really advertise a bundle off the bat, nor was the Ezhogoul originally even advertized as purchaseable, so I'd have to assume at this point that "the game has changed".

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.

I'm more asking why the hope of the Nephrite spawn becoming paired. technically it hasn't yet but they've been saying a bundle was coming since before the pledge manager opened.

Ah okay... Got'cha I'm of the opinion that if you want to cram a lot of different models into a spawnpoint you are better off with a paired as that allow for both more and stronger models. That bill seems to fit what they are trying to do with SotC Note, this is not a deal breaker to me though  Paired or single, it's all good...

A new update just went up: Quote: 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. I assume Necromutant in place of Nephrite is a typo.

Hurrah. I still have to wait for them to update the pledge manager, but I'll be able to add that wonderful ezoghoul to my order.
I'm getting enough chibis to play SotC, by the way, and re-doing my pledge manager to include cute lil' Ezo will be $15. Seems like a good deal for a big resin badass.
The set does cost more than SPM's plastic warband sets, but that's what we expected (since this is all resin).
