Seems like everyone is putting out a football game

Everyone except GW, GW just pulled the range.

(Although some rumours talk about a new starter box this year).

To be fair, the Fantasy Football scene is very alive with a constant growth of manufacturers and products.

Very, very cool. But a bit pricey at 70 pounds to get the whole team shipped outside the UK ($105).

That's not bad for a whole team (I think I might've paid more to get my Chaos dwarfs team from Greebo, I'd have to check) but means I'll have to think about it. Moreso because I don't really need another dwarf team...

But I love Titan Forge's unique take on things, as usual!

**Theophony**

I missed the steam punk in previous messages from them. I was excited for a good looking dwarf team that wasn't pirates or bikers, but robots doesn't fit me either. They look great though. I'm guessing next dwarf team made is going to be Chris farely ninjas.

Currently 250$ short of being funded, with 31 days to go.
Here the first two updates:

Hi there!

Whoa, that escalated quickly. Here, at Titan Forge we’re very excited about how things are going. Our project was launched two days ago, and we’re already halfway there! Thanks to you and your support, it looks like we can manage to reach our goal. Ain’t that a kick in the head? As always, we got some interesting questions which we would like to address:

1. Regarding claiming more than one pledge – the easiest way to achieve it, is to just increase your donation and pick one. After the succesfull end of the campaign we will contact with each of our supporters to confirm his picks – it will be a perfect occasion to give precise informations about your order!

2. Cheerleaders. Oh boy, the debate on this subject went on and on. For now, we won’t include them in the campaign. However, if our backers will continue to support us the way they do now, and we hit the second stretch goal – we won’t disappoint you there!

We already work on some new pictures for incoming week, so stay tuned! And remember – you are a part of our success! We thank you for that!

Free Scenic Bases and more
Update #2 · Jul 17, 2013

Over the past few days we have seen a massive influx of interest about our Fantasy Football dwarves Kickstarter project. Lots of you wanted to know more about the cheerleaders - and we want to let you know that we've included them as the second stretch goal.
That's not all, however - we've decided to make the scenic bases, which were originally a part of the second stretch goal, included by default and for free for every model. We'd like to thank you for your continued interest in our project, you guys are awesome and keep us going!

I love Titan Forge, but am not that into Dwarves, have then mentioned any other teams? Drakskulls perhaps?

**Kroothawk**

This kickstarter is just for the Dwarf team. But if it goes well, they might consider other teams as well. Nothing hinted at though.

**RiTides**

And they're funded! Very nice

**Squat Kid**

I broke down and pledged, the models are expensive, but just too damn cool!

**Squat Kid**

Is there an obvious reason the total pledge amount is going down?

**Kroothawk**

Still 25 hours to go.

**nkelsch**

I would love to get some of these, but the cost and pricing model is out of whack for me.

I am kinda annoyed that the bulk value of a guy is 3gpb but if I want 6 models (not a whole team) they are more than double that. The cost per 2 models is too steep. The curve is too steep when 8 figures and the roller cost more than 12 figures and the roller or when the roller is only 6£ upgrade, but then costs 19£

I would totally throw some add ons to someone's pledge, but can't support it at the current levels.

Good luck, they seemed to just eek in by the skin of their teeth.

**Kroothawk**

Okay, this one ended at £4,632 .
So it got a last day rush after staying at £3,500 for more than a week.

**Squat Kid**

Still would have liked to get a free engineer out of it...

**RiTides**

Glad it funded! Hopefully someday they can figure out a way to make more affordable models... most of their fantasy offerings are awesome, but sooo costly to build an army from.

**Squat Kid**

I rationalized being a backer by saying they're half the price or Forgeworld space marines...

**RiTides**

True

but for their undead orks, they're unfortunately more expensive than most other options. Also, strongly themed- which is awesome, but makes it hard to add just a few to an existing army.

**Squat Kid**

But they are really cool

**RiTides**

Well that just goes without saying

and is why I am so interested in them! A whole army of undead orcs? Yes

Same goes for a steampunk set of bloodbowl dwarfs... only reason I didn't jump is is that I already have chaos dwarfs for bloodbowl, and so don't really want another dwarf-related team.

**Squat Kid**

I thought about starting a fantasy dwarf army with these guys led by an engineer, but again, way too expensive

**Squat Kid**

After finally getting my shipment, it was missing 12 models. No reply from Titan Forge yet...
