Five Days To Unlock Fanciful Steampunk Goodies For Twisted
March 10, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
There's five more days left on the storybook, steampunk skirmish game, Twisted, from Demented Games on Kickstarter. This means there are five more days to unlock more wonderful steampunk stretch goals, including Ariel and the Kickstarter Exclusive steampunk crab, Bastion.
This project has brought forward an entire storybook, steampunk universe rich with fanciful characters, stunning miniatures and the perfect quirky terrain to set the scene for your games.
To date, the game has made 3 different factions available through the project including: The Dickensians, The Servants of the Engine and the Egyptians, including expansions for each of them. Given the mention of several Guild of Harmony miniatures (a wonderful, existing range from Sebastian Archer) included in the project, we can only assume that they will emerge as playable characters in Twisted.
Whether you are looking at this project as a gamer or as a painter and collector, Demented Games is offering numerous options for pledges to cater to any direction you choose. There are beautiful, high quality, metal miniature faction sets to provide minis at a lower price point for gamers as well as stunning resin collectors minis for the painters.
And, if you're the kind of gamer that really likes to set the scene for your games, then you will be blown away by the stunning, whimsical terrain in this project from the creative geniuses at CNC Workshop.
By the very nature of Kickstarter providing a launch point for a game system to gain its legs and thrive, Demented Games has brought forward some wonderful freebies for its backers including four miniatures!
Trevor the Rat is exclusive metal mini for the Kickstarter backers and will only be available from future events. Trevor comes with a free 8x10 Twisted artwork print, signed by Peter and Sebastian. The Urkin Shooter and Urkin Slasher are free special edition metal minis for qualifying backers, offering alternate, unique sculpts for the Dickensians.
The lovely steampunk Tinkerbelle for the Guild of Harmony is also free for qualifying backers, and offers a peek at the involvement of the Guild of Harmony within Twisted. If you take advantage of ordering any of the gorgeous terrain for Twisted, you get two free, steampunk stair steppers to allow useful gaming space on the stairs of the terrain.
And, as mentioned previously, they are very close to adding Ariel of the Guild of Harmony and her Kickstarter Exclusive sidekick, Bastion the Crab.
What about Twisted appeals to you most? The minis? The Story? The Terrain? Yes?

It kills me that I’m finding out about this Kickstarter now. As a huge fan of Mark Hodder’s Burton & Swinburne books this looks very interesting to me. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Best of luck to them on this. Cheers!
All those models look stunning.
That happens whenever Sebastian Archer does the sculpting.
I don’t think that man is human.
He is outstanding, but props to all the other sculptors involved as the sculpting isn’t a one man show 🙂
These models look so sweet. I wish I had the money to back it.
You could always get in at the AU$5 level and see if you can increase it any during the pledge manager later in the year 🙂
That’s a great point, Ben. I sometimes think folks don’t realize they can do that.
I’ve already promised them most of my budget for this month but I can see myself adding to that before the lockdown on Pledge managers. Really want to get the expansion packs for the Servants of the Engine and the Dickensians. And they better unlock Pigsty! Himself and the Monkey King are compulsory purchases for me after playing Enslaved.
