Well them doing plastic would've taken even longer I think and I wouldn't have been possible with the budget they were on now, I'm even surprised they got this far before putting the models on sale.

And oh wait, while I can add more minis to my pledge, I'll still have to wait for them all in one go, because Wolfenstein still isn't available. Bleh.

How can they go on "general sale" if we don't have them yet.

Maybe they're out of money? Or maybe they felt they've waited long enough with these and wanted to make more money? Or maybe they wanted to get some of these out the door before they kicked off their next Kickstarter in a few weeks, to show that they can deliver models?

Or maybe there's a real snark-less answer.

Not on the internet, to anything.

Actually, I was quite serious, but oh well.

I can't believe how indifferent I've become when they release an update.

Yeah ... good for you I guess? Still waiting for any of my miniatures. Bla Bla Bla.

See you in 2 months with another Bla Bla Bla update.

..what was snarky about BrookM's post? Sounded genuine to me. They actually admitted in the update they are getting low on cash...

I would be tempted to add that IE sniper to count-as Vindicare or something but... I am not very motivated to do so.

The answer sounded pretty reasonable to me.


And as an aside:
Brooke, Where do you find such awesome avatars?

Well I had to add a couple of Mechs now I've seen the full (and final final detail), as well as the cyberzombies I regretted not being able to afford earlier

I'm not surprised they've finally decided to sell some of the finished stuff

and as long as they stick to minis backers could have had if they'd paid for the appropriate split shipping I'm only mildly annoyed

They've actually said in the update that they're running low on funds?!?

People, I am a horrible person, full of bile, snark and other rude things that some cannot abide by. But remember, I'm also..

This latest update wasn't all that bad. Well, they saved the fapping for their first in a long time official newsletter this time round, where they posted KS feedback to promote the upcoming sale of the minis.

I may or may not be awesome, know awesome people and know an awesome person who does neat photoshops for us DCM's.

That appears to be the plan right now. Sucks for the people who are getting everything in one wave though.

Yeah reassuring eh:

But our uncompromising stance for quality has not only made us late, but cost us a lot financially.
And funds are now running low.
But... DON'T PANIC

Can I start panicking now?

There we go, my previous reply about them running out of money am justified now.

And Don't lengthen your swear words, the filter might miss them then. Bad brook. Bad., here's hoping they don't go tits up before I can get my Wolfenstein.

I'm more worried about the 10 or so boxes of troops of mine...

What's up with the southern Europe. I just preordered some stuff from Avatars of War and it took them two weeks to finally acknowledge the order and give me an option to pay for it.

I'd say that yes, that's a bit troubling.

Troops are shipping shortly, or at least some of them are, so you are maybe a little bit in the clear. It's what comes afterwards that may be moving into the iffy territory.

Hey, what could possibly go wrong?



Though it does explain why they need to do a new KS before the other one has been finished. But hey, you can't rush art!

I'll probably grab some KST heavy troops quick. I was going to get them at retail any way...

As to closing down or whatever, I suppose we'll just have to see.

Awww, come on man, after Robotech and Alien versus Predator this thread also needs to get in on the whole "ze sky eez falling!" trend that the others have gone, or are still going through.

It's not just a plug, it's a means of prolonging my own miserable life, for the overlords are always watching.

Haven't they shipped to people who paid for the first wave of shipping?

Yep. I've got my first box a while back.

Ooh, what was in it? Did you also get the complimentary coasters?

So 8-12 weeks out for everything else should put us at Feb/March ish for Wave 3 people. I'll be glad to get these in hand. Hopefully all of the lessons were learned from this KS for the next ones. I'm not happy with the delay but the models they produce are pretty sweet.

Hehe, that's super-optimistic, let's see if they can deliver the first batch of promised troop boxes first.

The "we're running out of money" makes me wonder if I need to be trying to saddle someone else with my $330 pledge.

No worries, they'll be kicking off another Kickstarter soon, the funds of that will no doubt partially be funnelled into the completion of this one.

Yeah, no red flags or warning signs there!

All kidding aside, good luck everyone here who pledged.

The Rumblings out in the wild are getting...ominous.

Christ, why am I getting emails announcing the release of 13 miniatures? Do they realise they just made me aware of the fact that after all this time they've got sweet FA to show for it and convinced me not to back the Dark Elves KS?

I got the first wave freebies (Flutterby Lulu, Charlie, Drusilla, Jinx, Harry, Natasha the Com Operator), Cruz, Mimi the Radio, One Shot Blondie (x2), Shashenka, Tania, The Lulus, Vera Krabbenhoft, and Yoko(x2).

No warping or bubbling, no casting problems at all. Which led me to an interesting question: are the resin and metal molds different? I saw people who had problem with the resin Cruz having a mold line across her eye. I got the metal one, and the mold line is super faint, but doesn't cross over that eye at all. (Unless there is no mold line and I'm only imagining the super faint one.
