I have come back, only to be thoroughly disturbed by the creatures of Australia and New Zealand! 
I love those references. I can already think of a few models that could incorperate those types of designs and textures. I really do appreciate the requests. I am going to do this Kickstarter, fulfill those orders, and then get you guys back together for a design sesh. While all this business type stuff is cool, my passion is for sculpting and I can not wait to sculpt some of these ideas!
We are still working on our plague demon guy..... but we might have good news for you as the campaign progresses in the form of stretch goal model. Definitely follow the campaign and I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

I had a moment of panic just now, thinking that this was launching on the 14th. Fair play of you to launch on a Saturday, hopefully I remember to check then!

True that. I generally work about 10-18 hours a day 6 days a week. Hopefully I'll have my phone handy and a spot of service when it goes live.

Is it Saturday yet? Seriously, these models are just so great and the communication with the community is just fantastic. So excited to get my hands on one (several?) of these beauties.

Will there be a pledge level for folks who just want to give a show of support to the campaign / get updates? I might be in that situation here, in that I'd love to get the campaign updates but will likely be waiting for your next wave of creatures (yes, that golem ) since I don't have any army that could use a daemon or dragon right now (just chaos dwarfs). But despite that, I'd love to pledge and track the campaign and your progress, and I imagine there are others who feel similarly... and it's always easier to get folks to up their pledges once they have signed on to a campaign

There will be a 1 dollar option. I personally like these since it is the easiest way to get campaign updates sent right to my email. If something pops up that I want, or when I decide on my order, then I can hit the "manage my pledge" button, and change my order from the donation to the pledge.
The cool thing about my donation tier is that it will grant you to all the backer exclusive stuff, like live sculpting sessions, model critiques, art books with video commentary, etc. It is the best dollar anyone ever spent
I will be so happy when this campaign goes live. It feels like forever since we started the pre-campaign, but the time has been well worth it. I am especially glad to be here at Dakka chatting with you guys, and will be here thru the campaign and well after.

I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Shipping is a flat international fee, since the product will be shipped to warehouses all around the world. It should not be any more than you might be used to paying for an international shipment of a comparable size and weight.
The exact prices will be listed clearly in the campaign, launching on Saturday. Let me know what you think.

Will that include appropriate taxes/avoid import duty? Because if not, UK buyers are going to have to factor in a 20% increase in cost(total, including shipping) to account for VAT. EU customers will have to consider that as well.

All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

Not to mention custom fees, too. So it would be unfortunate if this can't be setup to help oversea backers out.

As far as I can count it's 6 hour from now and as far as I know the whole deal about sending them around the world then resend them was to avoid extra taxes. But I do not know for sure, but I do hope so.
I still haven't decided on a dragon or just wait to see if the treewoman turn up in the stretch goals.

We are able to ship from a hub within Great Britain, Unless anything crazy happens, we should be able to avoid having anyone pay the VAT. This is a huge deal to us, so don't worry, we are all over it.
About 3 hours now. Before the campaign launches I want to that all of you who post and lurk here on Dakkadakka. This is currently the only forum I regularly post on and check, and its my favorite and has been from the beginning. Thanks for all your encouragement, I will see you on the other side

Thanks man. Getting closer now!
Just a heads up, the early birds are great, but the bundles offer even better savings than the early birds, and there is no limited quantity on the bundles.
If you got one or two specific models you want and that is all, then button mash an early bird. If you want 4, 5 or 6, do the math on the bundle and you will be very pleased, plus you do not have to button mash

Button mashing is a sport! You can't send people to a site where button mashing is an option and expect no button mashing...

See, I wish you hadn't told me that. I may well end up wanting 4 or 5 but I'd feel stupid staying up until 2am and not snatching up an earlybird..
