NecroMancer Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Sounds like resin is scheduled to deliver on time so there is some good news. Unfortunately I am in for a good chunk and I am only interested in the models so hopefully the characters come out unscathed (I thought the troops were the least of all the concepts anyways). The Veronique figure looks really good though so I am holding out hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Sakura Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I backed mostly for the character models, though I really liked a lot of the soldier models. Moving scabbards and such around isn't much of a concern for me, but I guess we'll have to see how satisfied I am of this KS once it finally arrives. There's been times that I've gotten Bones minis that didn't match the previews and were disappointing, hopefully this isn't any more egregious than that. It's nice that they're focusing on reducing the number of molds used for rank and file moreso than the centerpiece miniatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balgin Stondraeg Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 That pledge manager is really tempting me. I didn't originally include any of the 75mm resin figures but I might snag one now to use as a giant or something to help support the company. There were a few I really fancied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Limbo 1.5 is supposed to be Vikings and Dragons I believe. However, it is most definitely delayed until this one delivers (June-August) and depending on how this one turns out it could be delayed for awhile.

Knight of the Dinner Table Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm a bit surprised/shocked about their "miscalculation". 80k is no small amount ... their selling point were those detailed, dynamic minis and they repeatedly stated that that's what they would deliver (even had photos of plastic - resin comparisons). I find it a sign of bad preparation to have to tell people months later that the factory cannot produce the minis at a certain price point and that (gu)estimates were 80k off ... and now all bets are off (reduce quality of minis slightly - sword placement does not bother me THAT much, but there are some other changes visible ... even change the manufacturer - but I doubt a cheaper one can produce those minis at the same quality, just at a lower price). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian523 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I wonder if it's because of all the extra kickstarter exclusive mini's? I feel like those models really bloated the production costs since many of them were large and very detailed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroMancer Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think they should maybe just stick with some resin campaigns on KS for awhile. Could help them build a fan base so that future board game projects may bring in more money. I'll tell you they are walking a thin line right now as many backers backed for the minis so If they mess those up they could be in a world of hurt in future campaigns.

Balgin Stondraeg Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Now that's a very encouraging photo. Given the size of that drill those are probably the 75mm versions. I really should check that pledge manager to see if I can sneak in a 75mm sculpt or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but there are 3 of the 75mm resin options that really speak to me. Those would be Godfrey, Rodrigo and Tiriel.

NecroMancer Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The creator posted a message in the comments page that they now plan to have the miniatures be self assembly. Which honestly, I think is super cool! I don't do enough of it and I'm only in for the miniatures so self assembly leaves a lot for conversions. They may get some blow back from it but a lot less than if they would have had they changed the minis or lowered the quality of the minis. They also acknowledged that this probably won't cover the $80K but that it will help a lot. I am not sure if they are going to eat the rest of the bill or what they will do to cover the remainder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
