I received my Trollforged stuff, and was overall quite happy. Lots of the issues came from his sculpts and the material not being good fits for each other. The trollforged stuff seems to work better with larger/bulkier pieces, and the thin spikes caused some troubles. In addition, there were other production related problems. But he was consistent with his updates on the progress, and fulfilled it despite taking a loss (I think).
Looks like he finished the orcs/dwarves and norse ones too, but I wasnt in on them so cant say for sure.

Honestly, it was only his first one that was using TrollCast material that took forever to get delievered, but is now completely fullfiled to the backers. The others are coming along just fine.

I have backed all of the RBG Kickstarter projects, and all of my pledges have been fulfilled except for the latest one which was scheduled for a estimated August, 2014 delivery. Tre says that these pledges will be fulfilled this month as he is only waiting on Valiant to complete the production run, which will only be a one month delay.
The project was funded on June 22nd, so that's a really quick turnaround.

While true, note that his second campaign (which was metal only) was finally completed (as in when the update was posted that the last package was shipped) almost a year overdue. Fairly standard for Kickstarter, but it's worth noting. His latest two campaigns have been smaller, already sculpted for the most part, and thus fulfilled closer to on-time. A good model for the future, I think!
As a side note, I just traded for the OOP Bloodmaw and Horsebane RBG model (goblin riding a bear) from jah-joshua on Dakka, and I'm thrilled with it! Tre sure can sculpt

I have been in all of Tre's KSers and will be in his next one as well. Troll Forge was a nightmare but a learning experience for Tre. His last 2 KSers went without a hitch. I support Red Box 100%.

I've backed all but the lastest RBG kickstarters.
First one, I was lucky and got my stuff on time. Others had a longer wait, but Tre did eventually make sure everyone got what they ordered (AFAIK!). The fact that he did this despite the trouble he faced shows integrity.
Second one, also got my stuff, it was also a bit late. But not so much as the first one.
Third one, got my stuff, dead on time.
It seems Tre is learning from each KS and getting better at making time estimates.
What I will say is that the product is excellent. The scultping and the casts are lovely, and in some ways pictures online don't do justice to the delicacy and detail on the miniatures. I'm very happy with my choice to back RBG kickstarters despite the hiccups along the way.
I have backed number 2, 3 and 4. Number 2 and 3 I have in hand, very happy with everything; number 4 I'm not the slightest bit worried about. I certainly hope to be able to back number 5.

Looks great. As with the orcs you did before, I've never been a fan of the typical GW look, but your versions have a lot of character and realism. In the case of GW mutants, ie. Chaos spawn, it usually involves tentacles, horns, appendages that are even more malformed and disproportionate than the typical GW human, or any combination of these. This Bua Bua mutant however looks believably realistic. And the musculature and textures are ace.
But anyways, I'm far more partial to females. Have you by any chance completed any of the female cult priestesses that lord over the lizardmen, Tre? Want to show one off? And do we have a rough eta for the launch?

There might be some female Bua Bua .
I like that hand weapon personally. Not only does it look good on its own, that Bua Bua dude is clearly not, you know, in some kind of uniform. I think the weapon ties in well with the rest of the Barbaria range that I have seen, and in terms of helping to visually establish a cohesive fictional universe, I think that weapon works.

Amen.
I have no ready use for that Bua Bua but damned if that's not a nice model I'd like to own. And, fortunately, that's enough of a reason to kickstart it.

Thanks guys, and yes the use will eb had int he game itself. The reason this is takign so long to launch is that I want to have PLENTY of content for players right out of the gate. I could launch with just 2 factions but I think that launching with at least 4 so that there is plenty of variation and tactical flexibility. And of course the rules themselves will take time to ready properly.

I think having most of the sculpts completed before launching is really smart! It's served you extremely well in the last two campaigns, so no worries from me on waiting a bit more. Particularly if it helps with rules development... is that going to be outsourced, or what are your plans for that?

rules will definitely just be " ready for playtesting " at launch. I want a good public beta to run for at least a few months before I go into printing a full rulebook.
Thus far I have been writing the rules myself but I may be outsourcing some of it.

This is great to hear - and should help make sure that the end product is a fun, enjoyably game!
