75% Funded! Amazing! Also, check out our first Character Card!

Hey everyone! We hope you guys had a great weekend, we know we did! (Side note: That "Game of Thrones" finale rocked our world!)

Coming back to see that we are officially 75% Funded is an amazing way to start the week! Also, we have over 250 likes on Facebook! Thats just crazy. We love seeing people getting into the project and what we are trying to do, its seriously the best!

To celebrate these two absolutely amazing landmarks, we wanted to share a preview of something we thought would add a little bit extra to all these miniatures...Character Cards! The idea is that we will include a collectable character card with each miniature for absolutely free! The card will feature the miniatures character art and a brief bio. Here's the first sample:



Front, and Back. (Bio info is not final!)

Its just a little something extra to help flesh out these guys!

Also, our amazing miniature painter Elizabeth Beckley has given Tank the proper photo treatment he deserves! Check it out!



Tank


{a rear shot added from facebook}

She really does amazing work, and we couldn't be happier with it!

We also wanted everyone to know that our artist, Heath "BA" Foley, is going to be hosting a live sketching session where he will work on a new character design for Wander! It'll be happening this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST for anyone who is interested! We'll send out an update when it starts!

We are slowly closing into our base goal, and we get a little closer by the day! We are on an amazing track right now, so lets keep it up! As always, you guys are the absolute best resource we've got on sharing this kickstarter with everyone. Keep sharing these posts with people, let them know the awesomeness that is the Wander Kickstarter! With your help, we can make this project a reality!

Some new art and our live-stream from last night!

Hello, glorious backers! Our artist had an amazing time hosting the live stream last night. For any of you who joined in the chat or watched, thank you so much! We had multiple people pop in and out over the stream, including our fantastic painter Elizabeth Beckley and Emily Fontana, owner of On The Lamb Games! It makes it much more fun for our artist, normally he's working by himself so this was a great change of pace!

As far as the stream, if anyone wants to check it out you can watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJIGhoCgCX4

Its mostly our artist talking about concept art, the process, then some incoherent yet entertaining babbling, and as always lots and lots of tangents! In that time he did produce a great new design for us! We are trying to think of a good name for her, so if you guys have any solid suggestions we'd love to hear them! Without further ado, here's one of our future mini's...the Crow Assassin!



Depending on where this Kickstarter campaign ends up, this lady will either be one of the stretch goals or she will eventually end up in the line in time.

If you felt like you missed out on the art-stream, our artist will be doing more art streams like this one, so dont worry about it! There will definitely be more in the future. In fact, we are talking to our painter Elizabeth Beckley about co-hosting a hobby hangout sometime next week! We will share more info on that as it comes in.

As always, make sure you guys spread this around and show your gaming and hobby friends! The more people we can get this campaign in front of helps us out immensely. We wont be able to do this without your support! We can do this people!!!

Hey guys! We are officially 80% funded! Woooo!!!!

With a little less than two weeks to go, being at 80% is an incredible place to be! As always, lets see if we cant push this thing a little bit further. Remember to share these updates with anyone you know who might be interested in these minis!

Speaking of sharing, it was also VERY cool that Beasts of War wrote up another article about our campaign! You can read it here: http://www.beastsofwar.com/wander/red-panda-shows-studio-painted-minis/

We also are excited to share a WIP shot of our studio painted Kira mini, handled by Elizabeth Beckley of course! She does such awesome work, its really incredible to see all these come together. She's missing her sash right now, but you can see how she's coming along


Kira - WIP Studio Painting


Here's the art for reference!



Kira - Character Art

We cant wait to see the finished version! One of the best parts for us about seeing these studio painted mini's is putting them in a case together...it may seem a bit strange, but it was a little emotional putting the studio painted models of Roland and Tank together for the first time. It represents months of hard work and patience to get to this point, and when they're all together in that case we'll probably throw a party to celebrate...AFTER the Kickstarter, that is!

On a side note to any of our American backers, have a good 4th of July weekend! Stay safe out there, and have a good time! And remember...dont blow any fingers off, you need them to paint our awesome minis!!!

We broke 5k!!!

Hey guys! we woke up this morning to see that we've officially broken 5k!!! That's over 80%!!!

We couldn't do it without you guys. Seriously, you guys have been amazing about spreading the word and sharing these posts with people, if we keep it up we can break through this base goal in no time! We are only about 20 "Wanderer Level" backers away from making that happen. We can totally do this, especially since we officially have 10 days to go!

So, long term we want to be able to sell these minis (and the future games) in stores and at conventions, so obviously we need packaging for that! After a few different iterations and some design tweaks, we think we've finally come up with a cool blister pack for our mini's! Check it out:



Blister Pack - Front


Blister Pack - Back

(Side note: This package will contain the pewter mini, AND the character card we previewed in an earlier update!)

We think its pretty cool, but were biased of course! What do you guys think? Let us know!

We hit 100 backers!!!

Wow, we've hit 100 backers! We couldn't be happier! It puts us ever closer to our goal, and with 8 days left on the campaign we are going into the last week in a great position Getting the word out to more backers is always key, so lets keep it up folks!

Now, hitting 100 backers is a major milestone for any Kickstarter campaign, so it seems like we need to share something to celebrate the occasion...so we came up with an idea! Our stretch goal graphic is lacking a little bit in substance, so we decided to get creative with a few character silhouettes to give you guys a taste of what we've got in mind. Check it out!



Updated Stretch Goals

Obviously the first one is Jon the Bard...but what could the rest be? Some of you may recognize a design there from our last hobby-hangout! We cant wait to show off the rest of these, hopefully we can get there before this campaign ends.

What do you guys think? Let us know! And as always...lets keep this thing going! We can totally make this line a reality!!! We are just a few backers away from it, so remember to share this with everyone you know!

Update #16 ℹ

New Add-On! Meet Rayna the Dragoon!!!

We said we would have a big announcement today, and here it is! Meet Rayna the Kangaroo Dragoon!



Check out her sculpt! Its done by the amazing Patrick Keith, an industry veteran who has worked with everyone across the board, who also just finished his 7th or so successful Kickstarter for their new line "Kritterkins"! (They are freaking adorable, btw!)



Sculpt of Rayna, by Patrick Keith


Rayna is something we've been working on for a while, and wanted to offer during Gencon as a promotional mini! This was to help us get the word out about Wander AND help us cover some convention costs.
She has been financed completely out of pocket by us because we loved her design so much. Originally we wanted to have her there as a surprise, but we figured that our backers would want an opportunity to get her as well! Let us know what you think of her int he comment section, we'd love to hear about it!!!

*Attention* - Rayna is a promotional mini that we WILL be selling at Gencon. She will not be included for free in any pledges and is purely meant as an Add-On.We hope you guys understand that this is purely to help us cover some convention costs. If you are going to Gencon and pick one up during this Kickstarter campaign, you can come by our booth and grab your copy! If you prefer to just pick her up there, we understand! None of the other miniatures unlocked during this campaign will be on sale there with respect to our backers and their amazing support. We will only sell the other mini's once everything is shipped out to you guys. To do otherwise would be an insult to all of you, and that is unacceptable!

Anyhow, we are currently just shy of 90%! With a little under a week left, we know we can break through this base goal and make this thing happen! We can only do that with your support, which everyone has been amazing about! You guys have been sharing posts and commenting, and its exactly what we'll need to make this campaign a reality, so lets keep it up! Sing it from the mountaintops! We can do this guys!!!

FUNDED!!!

Ladies and gentleman, we are OFFICIALLY FUNDED!!! We are absolutely at a loss for words, this is just incredible! This is the culmination of a ton of hard work and time put in and it has finally paid off! We cant thank you guys enough supporting this campaign! We wouldn't have been able to do it without you, and not just for backing this Kickstarter...but for sharing posts and updates. Its just amazing. With your help, we will now be able to make these miniatures a reality!

Now, with our initial base goal funded we still have plenty of time left on this campaign to break into some stretch goals, so lets see if we cant make it happen and expand this line a little bit more! As previewed earlier, our first miniature up is Jon the Chameleon Bard!


Our First Stretch Goal, Jon the Bard!

He'll be unlocked at $7.2k and automatically added to all "Wanderer Level" pledges and above! He will also be made available in our add on section. Lets make it happen everyone!

Update on studio painted Kira, finished Rayna art!

Hello, glorious backers! Since we have officially funded over the weekend we have been dancing around with joy and have been absolutely giddy knowing that we are officially going to be putting these mini's out into the world! We couldn't have done it without your help, you guys are the absolute best!!!

Now...we have a little under 5 days left for this campaign. That is PLENTY of time to try and attack some of these awesome stretch goals we have lined up! The first is Jon the Bard, and the next one are mysteries we will introduce once we get him funded! Now, until we reach this goal we have plenty to update you guys on....like the progress on our studio painted Kira, currently being expertly worked on by the amazing Elizabeth Beckley! Check it out:



Kira - Painting in Progress


We cant WAIT to see the finished piece! Its already looking incredible, Elizabeth is true talent and we are lucky to have her painting for us!

Our artist also had a chance to finish off the character art for Rayna the Dragoon! We couldn't be happier with the results, and we hope you guys like it too! Feel free to let us know in the comments section! Again, she will be available for purchase at Gencon as well as an add-on for this campaign.



Rayna - Finished Character Art

We cant wait to get this model into Elizabeths hands and see what she can do with it! We also want to give a big shout out to Patrick Keith, Rayna's sculptor! He has been a big help spreading the word about our campaign on Facebook and through his very own "Kritterkins" Kickstarter! Thanks so much, Patrick!!! (You guys should check out "Kritterkins"...its seriously adorable/awesome!)

We only have a few days left on this campaign, lets take it into the stratosphere and get some new mini's unlocked!

Also, as a quick reminder, we will be at Gencon at booth #463 with On The Lamb Games! Make sure to drop by and say hey to us if you get the chance!

3D Print updates and a Crossover Announcement!

Hey guys! We are into the last 72 hours of the campaign! We are hoping that within the last 48 hours we can get a burst of backers and get some of these stretch goals taken care of! As it stands we are already $300 into the next goal, we can totally do this! With your help, we can spread the word like you guys have been doing this entire campaign. Share these posts with everyone you can, let them know about our campaign and lets see if we cant add some awesome mini's to this campaign!

We have some awesome new 3D prints to show off today! This round we have Fynn the Hunter and Ibexus the Wizard. As with the other models, these prints have turned out better than we could have hoped! Check them out:



Fynn - 3D Print


Ibexus - 3D Print


Both of these prints are loaded with character, just like the others! We are aiming to keep this level of character and quality across the entire Wander line, including mini's that will be included with the eventual game.

Now, seeing as we will be at Gencon sharing booth #463 with the fine people over at On The Lamb Games, we have been talking and have decided to do an official crossover with their game Endless: Fantasy Tactics! (For anyone curious about their game, you can find more information on their site here.) Anyone who picks up a copy of Rayna the Dragoon will ALSO get a card that makes her playable within their game! Here's a preview of her hero card:


(won't copy, see the update)
EFT Hero Card for Rayna the Dragoon


As with all our models unlocked by this campaign, she will also be playable in our game we are currently working on as well!

*QUICK REMINDER*: Just in case anyone missed it, we will be at Gencon this year at booth #463 along with On The Lamb Games. If you are attending, make sure to drop by and say hi!

I mean, Who wouldn't want to add this guy to their collection!?



Stretch Goal #1: Jon the Bard


Additionally, a message has gone out to all the people who clicked on the "Remind Me" option now that we are only 48 hours out, so hopefully that means we'll have a rush of potential new backers! For anyone who is brand new to the campaign, welcome! We are glad to have you, and thanks for the support! Make sure to check our excellent Add On section if you want any additional items added to your pledge.

Part of the reason this campaign has been successful is due to our glorious backers sharing things and spreading the word! Remember, as always, to share updates and tell everyone you know! The more people know about our campaign, the better the chances are that we can unlock some stretch goals! Dont forget to share and comment on our special contest Facebook post as well to enter for a free chance at a "Wanderer Level" Pledge! You can find that post here.

We have a lot planned and waiting in the stretch goals, hopefully we can bust through a few so you guys can see these awesome designs! You can see a tease of them in our new and updated Add-On section, we've also made sure to add some new posters based on the art we have available!



Updated Add-On Section

We are more than happy to get back to you guys about any inquiries you might have about Wander or the Kickstarter! Oh, and once again, make sure you share this campaign with everyone you know!

We will be at Gencon this year at booth #463 with On The Lamb Games! If you are attending, make sure to drop by and say hi! We will have Rayna the Dragoon there for sale, if you are interested in picking her up in person! She is not only a promotional convention release for us, but she also will be crossing over into On The Lambs popular game, Endless: Fantasy Tactics as a special Hero! They will be demoing the game and running special events during the entire convention. She will be sold along with a unique hero card, along with a character card from us that provides some background info on her character! Here is a preview of her Endless Hero card:
