Title: New KS Deck: Bicycle Steel
Post by: MrMollusk on January 13, 2014, 06:42:45 PM
New deck on Kickstarter. Same guy who did the Bicycle Dark Templar deck.

In my opinion? Kind of mediocre. It almost looks like a deck Elite would make. At least the Dark Templar deck had completely original courts, but this just has standard ones with a border.

They should get the other one fulfilled before asking for more money!

This looks like the bastard child of a chromed-out Harley from Count's Kustoms and the humping robot from "Robot Chicken"...

In case you don't understand what I meant by that - PASS.

This would be my 1st problem. Outside of that, these just seem a bit busy...too much going on, and I'm not crazy about the courts.

Don… That's being very disrespectful to both Count's Kustoms and Robot Chicken…

Well, someone seems to like them...they are over halfway funded from 320 backers.

Better them than me.  I've learned to be annoyingly fussy when it comes to picking decks for my collection.

I think these are the guys that were designing for Elite before. There are a lot of similarities in most of there decks. Black backs, shadowed designs, metallic looks, etc.
I guess don't fix what ain't broke. Just getting a little old for me. I whish they would try a different concept.
