The Gasslight models shipped? I didn't expect them that early! I still have a pile of Asian chibis to paint! I need to get on my paint
horse!

Pirate Captain and I added a few others to the previous post

Shipping is about 20% done on the Gaslight Horror KS and there might be a mispack to look out for if you have yours already

from update #18

In addition, I discovered that there was a misunderstanding and 2 Snakemen instead of 2 Snake Cultist were being packed up in the Cultist pack add-on. They had finished about 20% of the orders ... so this is not going to effect the majority of you ... but for some of you when you open your package ... you might see 2 Snakemen instead of 2 Snake Cultist. If this happens to you and you preferred to receive the 2 Snake Cultist instead of the 2 Snakemen ... let me know and and we'll get 2 Snake Cultists shipped out to you.

I will be super interested in the designs which lend themselves to creep-building. 5-pack of skele horses and clockwork horses will be a must. Hero-clothed ponies hold no appeal for me, but I understand the appeal for others.

I hope there is a seapony of some sort. It was always silly but cool to have actual horse-head seahorses

**Siygess**

My pledge arrived today which was super quick. My kids are going to love having some Castle Crasher inspired characters to play in SDE although they are going to need some repair work first.. both have some holes / tears along the top of the helmet.

Time Traveller pony - this ones a stretch goal not part of the original 6 to be funded at the start (4 of which are above plus the Ninja and Travelling Magician)

Paladin render

also update on the gaslight horror shipping

We are still getting in some casting from Troll Forged but are packing up what we can as we have quantities to do so.

As of tonight, the shipping count is:

118 Packages sent
38 Backers who have not locked in their Skykadia survey
76 Backers left to ship

So we are officially past the 50% mark for shipping. We are pretty happy with how quickly this KickStarter came together given we were planning for shipping in September originally.

We REALLY would love to launch on Pony Chibi KickStarter on Tuesday of next week (July 29th) so I am going to do my best to get those last 76 Backers out the door between now and Monday and messages to the 38 Backers with unlocked surveys so that we can reach the goal of getting our next Chibi KS project up and running. We've had a blast working with Lorraine to design the new Pony Chibi and we are looking forward to successfully delivering this project so we can launch that one.

Tom and Chris @ Impact!

**highlord tamburlaine**

Got my shipping notice for my gaslight stuff- yay!

Totally not into the ponies... HOWEVER my daughter has already decided which ones we'll be getting. She's threatened to fight my son's lizardmen in a Song of Blades and Heroes campaign.

Could be interesting...

I was told to ask if there would be any ponies in traditional Asian inspired garb.

**DaveC**

Not my thing either (althought the clockwork one is tempting) but I'll be keeping an eye on it out of curiosity to see how it does by comparison to the last 2. I wish them luck and I'll keep the thread updated.

The Pony range is by far the most popular of the chibi stuff sales wise so it should do well and the better it does the more likely chibi dungeon adventurers KS 2 is likely to be.

Not on the list I saw but pester Tom and Chris for it and if it gets far enough who knows.

here's another to show your daughter - butterfly wings accessory

EDIT

and Dragonfly wings

Ninja Pony

**Cyporiean**

Got my Gaslight Chibis today.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Mine came as well... even though they probably would have been here sooner if I hadn't kept changing my Kickstarter screen name.

Oh well.

My daughter likes the ninja one, but was disappointed there's no swords or shuriken included.

**RiTides**

Why did changing your screen name affect that, out of curiosity?

**highlord tamburlaine**

Something about how Skykadia didn't recognize me when it was time to ship.

My screen name has always been Highlord Tamburlaine, but I've always added some snarky thing to the end of that, and I'm constantly changing it up. That's where the problem was.

The Highlord Tamburlaine in the system didn't match up with my current version.

**Galen**

I received my gaslight order a few weeks ago. It was just a few octopus to serve my ogre tactics nostalgia, and perhaps proxie for Endless fantasy tactics games. They look great.

**RiTides**

I don't know if I saw the octopus, is it good?

**Galen**

The Giant Octopus is a fun sculpt by Nick Kelsch in case you need some different octopi monsters to be working with Cthulhu and the Cultists.

**nkelsch**

I am dying to see some painted Creeps and octopus to see how they turned out. I haven't gotten mine yet.

**DaveC**

Quick update shipping for the Gaslight Horror KS should be done by Thursday they ran out of a few bits and had to get more in so the new KS will start around then Tom doesn't like to start a new KS until he can at least say he's put everything (well every confirmed order) in the post.

Looks like I'll be in the last batch this time as I ordered Snakemen which they ran out of.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

My gaslight stuff just arrives,

very cool as always

and as well as the minis

Ponyfinder - Pathfinder for Ponies

Looking for a game to use these pony miniatures with? We have worked out a special arrangement with Silver Games to include a discounted version of their publication Ponyfinder as part of the campaign. This will give you full rules to use Pony based races and PC characters for an RPG campaign in the Pathfinder setting. You can pick up the Ponyfinder campaign book Watermarked PDF as a $23 add-on to your pledge.

**DaveC**

OP updated with link

here's what's available (spoiler due to image size)

Spoiler:

A little different than before $1 = 1 point most of the Ponies are 5 points so $5 as before but some cost more due to additional accessories.

Project Update #1: 23 hours in and 75% funded! Let's take a vote on the 1st Stretch Goal
Posted by Impact! Miniatures ♥ Like

Wow ... thank you backers. It is awesome to be at 75% with still an hour to left in the first full day of funding. Seriously ... thank you so much for helping us get the word out and get to this point already.

We have run the numbers multiple times to make sure we have it right and the first stretch goal will be at $6,500. Stretch goal #2 and beyond look like we'll be able to afford every $750 after that (we'll be watching the spreadsheet and revising this either up or down as we see how the pledges come in).

At $10,000 we'll be giving out free points to all the rewards levels of $50 or more (ranging from 2 free points at PONY reward level up to 13 extra free points at THROUGHBRED reward level).

Here were the first 3 concept groups that we worked with Lorraine to create for the KickStarter. We would like the backers to vote which concept group you would most prefer to have as the starting stretch goal. The plan will be then to unlock both figures in a row before moving on. By $10,000 we'll have unlocked all 5 and then we will use voting to determine what concept you'd like to see next.

Currently we have received a lot of concepts: Vampire Pony (with cape accessory), Barbarian Pony (with sword (maybe a club or flail)), Ranger Pony (with bow and arrows), Bard Pony (hey the new edition of D&D is trying to make them cool again!), Sea Horse Pony (monster or ally?). When we started this project Jordan Peacock gave us permission to use his gallery as a starting point for our ideas ( http://jordangreywolf.deviantart.com/gallery/36549387/Ponies-Unicorns-Nightmares-etc?offset=24 )... thank you Jordan! And we found some great ones but we wanted to build on it from there.

So thank you everyone for your support and ideas ... we look forward to unlocking stretch goals with everyone in the near future. Remember to comment below and let us know which group you'd like to see most.

Tom and Chris @ Impact!

**DaveC**

Well it's funded currently at $7,072 which means the first stretch goal at $6,500 is unlocked as well

Time Traveller #4 = cost 6 points with Robocanine, 5 points without and the robocanine can be bought on it's own for 2 points

Next goal is at $7,500 and is for either Time Traveller #11, Zombie or Ranger (most votes in comments wins.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Voting is surprisingly tight with all three neck and neck after 30 odd votes

Update #4 Aug 9 2014

Zombie and Walker Stalker unlocked! Stretch Goals #3 announced and new question for Goal #4

Thank you backers for helping us blast through 2 Stretch Goals in the first 3 days of the KickStarter.

Chris and I are so pleased with how the KickStarter is going that we talked and agreed to unlock not only the Zombie which won the poll for Stretch Goal #2 by just 1 vote but we are also going to unlock the Walker Stalker Pony to go with it! I'll get these included in the points menu up front. Both Zombie Pony and Walker Stalker Pony will be 5 point Pony options.

Since the 2nd place finishers was soooo close. We are going to make the Time Traveler Pony #11 as Stretch Goal #3 and that will unlock at $8,250 which we are already making good progress towards reaching.

Now Stretch Goal #4 is gather a list for a poll. The Ranger was much more popular than we thought it would be. So we want to set up Stretch Goal #4 to add on a character class Pony and we would like you to then vote on who you would like it to be. Currently the choices are Ranger, Barbarian and Bard. But we wanted to know if there any other classes you'd really rather have instead ... so let us know. We'll gather up the best class ideas and after we reach Stretch Goal #3, we'll have a vote to see which one will be made for Stretch Goal #4.

To get ideas we are currently considering for inspiration for Lorraine to use to make the art for these 3 classes you can see the conversions that Jordan Peacock
