Shame, no use for darklands then. Oh well.

I had it in mind for Darklands too, but it will probably still be useful as background scenery for that.

This looks pretty neat.

Well, the walls and gate can still be used, as also will be a bigger version of the watchtower.

There might be addons of MDF viking buildings as well to make a small village defended by the plastic kit..

Great looking outpost, can see a lot of use for it in all sorts of genres and games. Especially if someone wants to re-enact a certain game of thrones battle.

Hello! I have a new render, a Giant or "Jotum" from nord mythology, a hairy one, cause.. COLD.

He has some details that i hope can be noticed with the pics, he will be 75mm tall.

Hello! another 3D render, a Yaoguai from Chinese mythology, equiped with dual rudimentary Shuanggous

WEll! now officially announcing the campaign! coming in september. The goal will be rounding 12k.


There will be at least 3 levels of sets (amounts and prices may change, maybe not):

$22 basic set: 12 walls (55 centimetres) 2 towers 1 gate
$42 medium set: 24 walls (110cm) 4 towers 2 gate
$60 big set : 36 walls (165cm) 6 towers 3 gates

Also there will be freebies and addons in the shape of packs of palisade, towers, gates and miniatures that will be "stretch goaled" in the campaign. The 4 basic models already sculpted are 2 kings, an archer and a spearmen, there will be also, one swordman and one axeman.

2 more models are sculpted to join the dark age outpost, the axeman with leather jacket and the swordman with chainmail.

While the miniatures will be produced in metal for this campaign, you will notice that the models are designed in such "simple" way, because in the future the same models will be made in plastic, for an upcoming boardgame called "BattleAxe".

That is the reason the models are 1 part, and with simpler details, to be "mouldable" in the future.





Salutes!

I have good news, and that is the KStarter preview!

You will notice that all pledge levels receive nice freebies, and the higher the pledge is, the more freebies you receive. They are total real freebies, of the same pieces/models funded in the campaign, so no crazy , unreal and out of delivery time freebies spam

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nickryan/637933305?token=98e0b482

The last 2 pledges, has a 35-38% discount, aimed for people with local shops, they will get lots of pieces at practically 1 dollar each!

Salutes, enjoy!

Will be watching for this one!

That's a pretty sweet deal, especially with all the free stretch goals.

I'll be keeping an eye out for this one too.

Hmmm might click with the SAGA crowd. Though I forget, does SAGA support forts? I can't remember

The Kstarter campaign starts TOMORROW, september 1st!

You can already start sharing & liking the Idylwild Games facebook page (surely there will be facebook likes bonus!):

We are already sculpting more pieces to be made in plastic, as stretch goals



Thanks!

I will be backing for sure!

Any specific time of day set for the launch?

By the way, I just measured what you get in the Gold pledge ($60). Comes to 9' of product if you lined it all up! And that's BEFORE stretch goals!

Exactly, A LOT you can make a wall covering all the table; a super siege =0

I dont know EXACTLY, but it will be done in the morning, arround 8Am (weast cost) , which would be like 11am in east cost?

Salutes!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who sees just how much footage that gold pledge is going to cover.

My hope is to split a gold pledge with family members. That way we all win and end up with a fair amount of stuff.

Sweet, I'll be there throwing money at the screen!

KS is live!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nickryan/dark-age-outpost-28mm-terrain-and-miniature-set

I see some new Rohan terrain and models!

Well I'm in for gold.

Figure the price difference between gold and silver is pretty negligible with shipping added in for the US, especially once stretch goals roll around.

Might doll some out to family if we get some of those higher stretches.

Thanks for your support!

In the next days wips of the keep/bigger tower will be showed.

Since the towers come in pieces is it possible to combine 2 towers into 1 larger tower? Looking at the diagram on the KS page it looks possible if the connector tabs were cut off to do it.

WIth some "hobbyst" time and abilities you could do that yes, hwoever as i mentioned before, we are already planing a 25-30k stretch goal to make a bigger tower

Hi! here there is a WIP of the keep. it has no planks/trunks details of course, it is the basic structure and the joint system, i esigned it so there is NO need of glue.

The floors can be inserted and pulled off easily while the tower stays assembled thanks to the horizontal planks whose ends enclose tightly

I love it!

Interesting. A lot of play potential in these- both with games and for the family.

Would these be included in certain pledge levels as a later stretch goal, or add ons only?

Just wait for the update that will be made in minutes (or tomorrow early, depends on nick)

I really love the keep,i imagine it in my head and JESUS.

It will also come with 3 ladders of 6inches tall.

I like the design of the new keep. That would be a great addition to the basic pallisade fort. I've already pledged for the "gold" level but I'd up if to add that to my pledge!

If unlocked, you are already having one for free, and another one in the next freebie.

They will be priced $15 as add ons.

Salutes!

You guys should probably update the title to reflect that you've already funded and almost hit the first stretch goal....

Oh thanks, some one did it for me ♥

We are now going for the 2nd one!
