I've not been able to complete the Pledge Manager due to not having access to a computer with Excel installed.

I contacted Richard at minionminis2014@gmail.com to ask if I could manually give him the details of what I pledged for, which I included in the email.

I got no response, even after contacting him again. This was approximately two weeks ago, has anyone else been able to get in touch successfully?

Hi,

I have had so many emails I am kind of inundated but two weeks is unacceptable. I thought I was only a few weeks behind. Can you give me your KS Username or email address and I will see if I can find your original email.

Sorry for the mis-communication.

Richard

Apologies, it wasn't two weeks it was more like 8 days, I sent the email on the 24th of January.

Thanks for getting back to me, I was concerned that maybe I had the wrong email address, but I can totally appreciate that you have a lot on your plate at the moment.

PM sent with pledge details.

Pics of the first Bugbear Ironshield cast is posted!

I'm really impressed with the detail on the resin cast.

Great job!

How the heck did I miss this KS!!!! Doh.

That is some great casting and those shields are fantastic. When does this stuff go on sale to the public or blind people like myself that obviously weren't paying attention.

Minion Miniatures has said they hope to get them on sale this summer (after the KS backers have been fulfilled)

Very nice castings there. Shame I missed out on this one by a day (I forgot to pledge and remembered just after it closed!)

I'm really sad that we didn't get to the Zombie Hulk. But with this being the figure/casting quality, I think next time there is a KS it will do very well.

I have posted a couple of pictures of the final Bugbear Ironshield...

I would like to hear what you guys think...

He's going to pound that poor 'armless' marine into the ground like a tent peg,

lovely

It looks positively brilliant!

Jesus that is an awesome model. I'm sad that I couldn't afford this one :(

Deathscale first glimpse from facebook

Still not a fan of him dragging his snack through the dirt.

Doesn't he know it'll get dirty?

I'm hoping the torso is a separate piece from the hand.

Otherwise, I'm satiated.

The model is being cut over the next couple of days so I will see what we can do about the body arm.

The arm is fine, IMHO. It's a monster, I don't think that he gives a gak that his meal is dirty.

Please don't change the sculpt because of one dissenting voice!

I do not think it will be changed, what I think Kaine is saying is that the arm will be a separate piece so you could fiddle with it if you really wanted to. I assume it means to give people as many options as possible. With more options everyone wins!

Thats the plan! The more bits he can be cut into, without affecting the "user friendliness" of the build, the better. Theres nothing worse than a static model or a model with too many bits you cant be bothered to build!!

Forgot they have the option for the to carry twin blades though, so I guess it's a moot point.

I also thought it would be amusing to have him carrying off a goblin.

Yeah, I'm planning to convert the arms, too - I ordered both sets, but if I go with this set I'll likely have him grasping something else. I think that part is fine, though - I'm not totally sure about the neck-to-head area. But I am getting the crocodillan head anyway, so that may work more to my liking

I think its the necklace (that sounds a bit camp for a Deathscale).... its actually an ancestral torc of the ancients (???). You lose the line of the neck a little. It looks better at other angles but I know what you mean. It will look much better when its printed and you can see the creatures lines a bit better.

I wonder if your eye may be wanting the crest to carry on across the top of the head, quite a few lizard/saurian models have that sort of look and you may well subconsciously expect it

Just thought I would post the near finished bugbear. Couldn't wait till I actually had it done. This guy shows the Bugbear with Head A, Shield A and Weapon A.

You lucky duck!

Quite impressive. Very much looking forward to having one of these guys of my own in the flesh, and I certainly hope once they're out in the wild they help get interest to the degree necessary to aim for the plastics.

I'm sure you're excited to have your "baby" in your hands, so to speak!

Yeah...its awesome...should have the Flesh Golem soon too!

Holy hell nice

The main model is finished. I have decided to go for the Boneshard shield instead of the original, just because it hides less of the model for display purposes.

Flesh golem castss (from facebook)

I am excited to get these, and launch the next KS with more goodness after everyone sees how amazing these are.
