TOO MANY ACRONYMS.

The Others Online? Militarium Astra New York? Advanced Chaos Renegade... um...?

I also need some help working out your acronyms as well, clearly.

Ok, feeling stupid, how does one "trade out" the miniatures for plastic? Is that coming in a later post KS message?

That can be done in the pledge survey when rewards and addons are selected.

Exactly - you haven't missed anything yet, so no worries!

Good deal, thanks guys

I pledged at gold level for this one.

I was wondering what game system were the miniatures designed for? Most miniatures of Vikings I found were placed on round bases. With the number of freebie minis included, however, I'll most likely just field them as Middenheim Mercenaries for Mordheim.

The minis were designed for their upcoming game "Battleaxe".

The survey for this is up; a little old fashioned, using the actual Kickstarter survey system and all, but easy enough.

Got myself a Gold + Hovel and kept the minis

Yeah, I'm sorted. Split a Gold set with my son, and we also picked up some hovels and bits and pieces. I like the minis, and they're a good price, but I need hovels more than I need Vikings right now.

Really looking forward to being able to rapidly populate a table with cheap, durable, great-looking terrain. This is a fantastic deal overall.

What types of settings are you guys using the terrain for? I'm wondering how it would fit with AoS...

Gold 1, traded in all the minis for extra plastic.

For $70 shipped, I get 3 Keeps, 4 Hovels, over 100" of palisade and plenty of "street furniture".

It's going to make for a sweet KoW table, or any fantasy skirmish I'd care to play.

At the very least I plan to try it in KoW and Frostgrave, but there are other possibilities in the future as well.

Frostgrave, Darklands and...just about any other Fantasy skirmish game I can get my hands on!

I'll be using it for Song of Blades and Heroes (there's enough terrain even in just my half of our purchase to easily fill a SoBH table), and some bits for Frostgrave, though it doesn't *quite* fit my preferred personal aesthetic for the majority of the FG table (will happily throw in the occasional palisade, keep, or hovel, but probably no more than 1-2 pieces from this set -- my mental picture of Frostgrave is mostly stone).

Darklands for me - Should be perfect.

Also going to be using it for Song of Blades & Heroes/ Darklands.

Grabbed a bunch of industry kits along with hovels to set up a nice little village to fight in with all the assorted clutter to hide behind/ destroy/ eat.

Just want to say that I like the survey. Simple, straightforward, traded everything for circles and more walls.

Yes.. survey was all a "matter", same with post Ks funds.

1) Reading the survey carefully is enought to fullfill it ok

2) It was MANY TIMES said, "No funds after KS" ... even in the FaQs, and in one update haha

Well, i go back to the cave and keep doing the "pre-molding work"

Salutes! Thanks for your support!

Alright, well.. I missed the campaign ending and wasn't able to add more than $5 like I planned so yeah... your post comes across as a little rude to people who wanted to support you. Something to consider...

I think the lesson to take away here is to not take non-standard KS practices for granted.

Pledge managers and post-project funding are outside of the "normal" operation of Kickstarter. A creator is not required to do such things.

As mentioned, the creators of this project had even refuted the idea during the campaign period and confirmed there would be no pledge manager or post-project funding.

Respectfully, pay attention to what you are pledging for and make every effort to find out as much information about the product and processes you are agreeing to.

Got my gold, traded the minis for 3 hovels, a wall platform and a feat kit. I can get Wargames factory vikings for like 50 cents each - terrain not so much.

Respectfully I had my hands full with an injured dog the day it ended and didn't have time to up my pledge like I wanted. I didn't take anything for granted, life happened.

Ouch, I hope the dog is OK now, pets certainly have to come before toys

Yeah, one dog bit the other for getting into his food bowl. The problem is, the dog that did the biting is our German Shepherd and the dog that was bitten is our Chihuahua. It looked really really bad but it was loose skin and is healing very fast.

I was really let down about missing the deadline and was mostly just looking for the cool add-ons like the tables and merchant stuff and hovels but I guess I can live without :/

I wasnt rude, i just clarified those points.

What happened to you is LIFE, i understand it and its a pitty, i will send you a PM.

Yeah, life happens. I've missed kickstarters because life happens. Hell, I wish I had added $25 for more add-on's to this kickstarter.

I forgot, and will await for the retail for more of these parts.

Life happens. Not everyone gets a trophy for participating.

Alright! Gold Outpost + 3x Hovel Kits and 2x rounded walls+platforms packs (should be enough to make a half-circle if I'm reading correctly. This will be awesome

Menhir, thanks for doing that. I didn't expect it or ask for it so it's very appreciated.

Hello! i wanted to share pics of one of my miniatures painted, the Oni demon, he is 45mm to the top of the horns:



Salutes !
