The Pulp City Kickstarter is live ...... and its a MASSIVE success.

WIP of new book cover

As a lot of you know, I am  HUGE Pulp City fan and have been for quite a while.
How could I not be a fan of a game packed full of Super Heroes, Villains, Aliens, Robots, Monsters, Apes and more?
This meant that when the news came out about a PC Kickstarter, I was over the moon.

Now its here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The project started with a $10K goal and a 30 day time scale. But, the $10K was reached in under 2 hours of the KS going live!
Over the next few days they just hit stretch goal after stretch goal with several freebies and discounted paid add-ons being unlocked.
As I type this, the Pulp City Kickstarter is now just under a massive $60K with 22 days still to go.

Lets have a look at what is available in the 'sweet spot' Supreme pledge of $90 which started with 7 minis and the book only.


Now the 'Supreme' level has more than double the number of minis it started with, as well as more cards, Monster rules and more.
Plus IT'S GOT HOVER CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the above image you can see how well the models translate from artwork to sculpt with the side by side images of the Grimmsham KS Exclusive mini (He wil also be getting a non-exclusive sculpt after)

Below is one of the stretch goal unlocks. The level 3 Powerhouse, Soul Golem, for the Necroplane faction.
Work has already started on this and many other unlocks. Even with 3 weeks of the project left.



Grimmsham isnt the only exclusive mini. The new Grimm faction have a 5 model Minion packs that includes a bonus 'dragonfly' mini in woolen hat! After the KS the pack will still come with the other 4 models, but this little guy will be like 'a leaf on the wind'.


Not-Jayne isnt the only pop culture inspired mini. Recognize who this little Grimm has styled himself after? I hear he has a 'magnetic' personality as well. 


After the Grimm stretch goals, the Kickstarter moved onto new Powerhouse Supremes for the current factions. Above you can see the Yeti for the Jade Cult (also a freelancer), LOA for the Coven and Tomcat for Heavy Metal





Once the Powerhouse models were available, it was time to fill out the Factions with some extra Supremes and even adding a new Faction selection or 2.
A few of these are MOD for Heavy Metal, Youngblood for Blood Watch, White Tiger for the (new) Way of Fist and Blade and maybe the greatest named Supreme ever, Ba-BOOM for ARC!

There are still several hidden goals and unlocks to come.
Head over to the PC Kickstarter Page and take a guess at what they might be.

Pulp City Monsters - Model Ideas



In my Pulp City Monsters rules review a few days ago I spoke about looking a models you could use for the Characters in the book and maybe some you could build your own rule around.

I will start off with the 9 Monsters that have stats in the book, then the other official Monsters mentioned in the fluff and then some I just like the look of to build rules around.
The rough rules I like to follow for picking these are-
1- At least 4 inches tall
2- Must fit on an 80mm base
3- Looks like it could destroy a city in a comic book

If you have any more ideas, please comment below

Stats in book - (only 4 use the official kit btw)

Terrorsaur - Humanoid Dino created by Mysterious Man. Official Pulp City Kit using dino head and tail


Ulthar Cyclopes - Creature used by the Ulthat invasion forces. Official PC kit using Cyclopes head, trident and fins


Ging Gong - Ancient giant ape. Ape Lord by Reaper Miniatures


Soul Golem - Either Necroplane or Forgotten creation. Official PC kit, Devil or Cyclopes head and some converting


The Controller - Amorphous blog that controls minds - Shoggoth from Fenris Games


Dread Sleeper - aka The Old One. Official PC kit using C'thul head and wings


Protobot - High Powered alien robot - MkII Sentinel from Heroclix


Necroplane Harvester - Other dimensional, soul sucking UFO. Area 51 UFO from Pegasus Hobbies with added tentacles


Byte Dragon - The mighty alternate form of CORE. Clockwork Dragon from Reaper


Mentioned in PC background -

Quilong - Ancient Chinese Dragon. Chinese Dragons from Arcane Legions. Suggested by Ron


Grandfather Tiger - Great Cat. NO IDEA about models yet.

Phoenix - Legendary fire bird. Doesn't fit the fluff exactly but I love the Dark Pheonix from Heroclix. Know of any other good Phoenix minis?


Chimpanzer - Robo Monkey driven by Virus. MechaGor Vehicle from Old Glory Superfigs


Ulthar Scout Ship - The leaders of the Invasion. TR-E UFO from Atlantis Models


Wytchbot - Mix of tech and the arcane, used by the Coven. No idea what to use at the moment

Jade Cult Yeti - Big icy beast. Snowbeast from Crocodile Games. Suggested by John and Mecha Ace


Ulthar Rhinor - Alien quadruped sent into a rage by blood. Ogre mount from Games Workshop? Other GW monsters could work in the game as well


Grimm Bioconstruct - Terrible giant beast, a failed creation. Blood Maw Vore from Bane Beasts. 


I just like the look of these and want to use the 'Build Your Own' rules for them -

Alternate Dread Sleeper or Old One - Old One from Reaper Miniatures


Evil Byte Dragon - Evil mirror created by Dr Tenebrous. Steam Dragon from Armorcast


Alternate Protobots / Sentinels - MkI and MkV from Heroclix


GALACTUS!!!!! - Why wouldn't you? Another Heroclox colossal


Dormmamau - The greatest Elder? Heroclix again


Iron Monger - Nice robot and its just a Marvel plastic toy


Talos - Bronze Colossus from Bane Beasts


Dagon - By Fenris Games


Undead Dragon - Reapers Kaladrax


Robo Insect - Mantis Tank by Blight Wheel Minis


Evil Villains Bot - Prussian Faust, soon to be released for Dystopian Legions by Spartan Games


Toxic Suit - Abomination from Dark age


Mole Monster - Heroclix Giganto


Underground Monster - Subterrainian Horror from Kaiju Khaos


Ancient Alien - Heroclix Ziran the Tester


Watcher and Protobot Creator - Uato and Master Mold from Heroclix. Front row second and third
