The Heavy Gear Kickstarter is already fully funded ($72,000+). The target is $105,000 for 46 models and 4 Armies: North, South, CEF and Caprice. Extra Stretch Goals would bring the model count up to 54 for $170,000.
This Kickstarter is cool because every $6,000 raised you can see what gets unlocked all the way to the end. However there are a few "Hidden" unlocks after $75,000 raised. They haven't dropped any hints what the hidden unlocks are but I am hoping for their custom terrain.
At $100 USD you currently get 30 models
North
4x Hunters
4x Jaguars
2x Grizzlies
2x Cheetahs
South
4x Jaegers
4x Black Mambas
2x Cobras
2x Iguanas
CEF or Colonial Earth Forces
2x MHT-95 Hover Tanks
2x FLAIL or Genetically altered super soldiers in power armor
2x F6-16 Scout Battle Frames
We are under $3,000 for the CEF to get the next Battle Frames. If you ever liked Heavy Gear Join in! The New Rules are free downloads at DrivethruRPG
Oooo, I liked the video game, and a friend of mine was really into it as well. Might have to get in on this.

Next Goal Completed $75,000 reached.
Now Hidden Goals can be unlocked.
Still waiting to see what they are...
At $100 USD you currently get 32 models
North
4x Hunters
4x Jaguars
2x Grizzlies
2x Cheetahs
South
4x Jaegers
4x Black Mambas
2x Cobras
2x Iguanas
CEF or Colonial Earth Forces
2x MHT-95 Hover Tanks
2x FLAIL or Genetically altered super soldiers in power armor
2x F6-16 Scout Battle Frames
2x BF2-21 Battle Frame with advanced neural net
I loved this game, but I lost interest when they changed the scale and made my rather large collection obsolete and worthless. Too bad. The setting was quite fun and the models were nice. Not sure I want to buy in again.

We just crossed the $78,000 marker goal for a variant upgrade to the Jaguars. So now you can make a commander Jaguar with Sat uplink which is killer on the table top. Basically you can see the board from the sky. You still have to make communication checks to tell other units further than 6" what you see but the Commander gets bonuses to the roll.
Next Level - $81,000 is the Rule book in Black and white and probably the southern commander variant.
These variants unlock at every $3,000 while major unlocks are at every $6,000 which is a great way to push through the middle of the Kickstarter rule book zone.
At $100 USD you currently get 32 models
North
4x Hunters
4x Jaguars + variant parts for commander
2x Grizzlies
2x Cheetahs
South
4x Jaegers
4x Black Mambas

2x MHT-95 Hover Tanks
2x FLAIL or Genetically altered super soldiers in power armor
2x F6-16 Scout Battle Frames
2x BF2-21 Battle Frame with advanced neural net

Wait...I have a bunch (at least 20 or so) miniatures from the first or second iteration of Heavy Gear. Does this mean I cant use them with the rules from this version or even alongside the newer mini's if I support this Kickstarter?

If you have the 1/144th scale figures they are still the same. What I had was the old HO scale figures and they are really different in size and look odd next to the 1/144th scale figures. But they have not made the HO figures sense 1997, so I would imagine most folks who bought into Blitz rules have the 1/144 standard scale they use now.

I actually like the Spark Sagittarius with the linked Medium Particle accelerators. With a Penetration rating of 8 and hitting on 3+ per attack dice it makes for a pretty devastating range attacks. Toss in haywire and the shut down effect and it makes you a pretty serious threat to anything on the board.
