I understand it that the warcaster already exists, and looks like a warmachine mk2 with some amazing looking models. I'm not sure how this compares to what already exists, but i worry that kickstarter is a sign of not doing so well at the moment from a business perspective, which could well mean drops in support down the line.
i may buy up some warcaster for the models at some point. could be tempted sooner if someone else was interested too
