I never quite got how anyone thought social justice warrior was an insult.

Anyway. Speaking as an SJW (and proud!) I can find space in my life and my heart for just about anything HF make. Prodos/Vinnie -- not so much.

Same here. After that incredibly disgusting Yulia Tymoshenko model I would never, ever support anything Brother Vinnie does. [MOD EDIT - RULE #1 - Alpharius] If you can't see the difference between that and Hasslefree...

+1.

Don't get how justice is something people use as a derogatory term, and I proudly wave the banner of social progress.

I'm perfectly fine with nudity (wouldn't go so far as to lump Hasselfree with fine art and defend any great freedoms, but I also think they're doing something pretty reasonable and with some nice aspirations/goals in mind regarding the execution). And yeah, the Tymshenko model was a pretty ugly statement- I think prodos is just run-of-the-mill lowest-common-denominator tasteless, but Vinnie seems pretty much straight-up immoral.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

Funny, because that sums up 90% of the people who use that term in a derogatory way: white dudes with a mild-to-heavy obsession for degrading sexual depictions and objectification of women who also don't want to have their right infringed upon to buy that sort of thing.



On topic: As a longtime HF customer and backer of this KS, and someone who is really not happy that the new rule of "publish the dollies as nudies" clogs up the HF production queues and release schedule even more, I am still very happy that this KS gives everyone the choice between different versions, so that different tastes can be satisfied.

One note on Kev's normally impeccable sculpting: One of the kitties looks like Kev needed to cut it in half and add some more greystuff in between.

I think the kitties are being done by Fancagne, not Kev. If you mean that it doesn't look long enough, I think that it might just be the way the legs are positioned, with the hips and lower spine sort of twisted towards the camera. Looking at the rings on the base, it seems that the shoulders and haunches are the same distance from each other as the other leopard.


As a general note, we probably should back off the SJW discussion here. People are just going to get bent out of shape, and mods will descend in all their fury. Or annoyance, which ever. I think there are a few threads in the OT forum on the matter.

Actually, I think I meant to ask these two questions, but got distracted:

1: At what point after pledging do we need to nail down our choice of models? Does it seem likely that we will see final sculpts or late stage wips by then?

2: If we go for the Dixon's Dozen say, but decide we only want 10 models instead of 12, can we put the difference into the little dinosaur or art cards or something?

Thanks for pointing that out! I think if the legs and paws were smaller/finer it would not look as off as it looks now.

I was really impressed with the new barbarian plastics for Frostgrave, and some of these would make fantastic additions.

Really liking those kitties! I'm not in on this KS yet but to be fair, I did splurge and get 27 HF minis last month so funds are a bit short and there are so many more I still want to get...

27! That's impressive.

The snow leopards look really pretty but I am most excited about the Wight Queen.

1. The KS Survey will be used to gauge interest in each model but nobody is 'locked down' until the pledge manager closes (and even then we'll be fine with late swaps to be honest). There'll be plenty more WIPs and finished minis by then.

2. Yes, we'll work it out with you, that's not a problem

Nothing in the KS is being made in China or has limited numbers or anything, we'll be able to accommodate most last minute requests pretty easily

Is there any idea how much these will cost at retail? I'm on the fence at the moment and trying to find an excuse

Most of the metal will be £5, but a fair few will be at our new price point of £6 (increasing costs in general and especially the multi part ones means we are having to move more and more newer minis up to it). Hell with Brexit and the pound crash (meaning imported metal prices rise etc) by the time these hit the store they could all be at £6 for all I know.

So it means that add on prices are either retail or 20% off depending on which minis (you should easily be able to see which will be more expensive as they're the multipart or bulky ones - or Jaguar Shaman Boudi cos it'll be a gigantic pain in the butt to make )

The Half dozen pledges are a further 10% off and the dozen pledges are a further 20% off, rough figures but should work out around that. If you get a dozen and pick all the expensive ones it's a bit of a crazy discount to be honest (£72 RRP for £50), we thought we'd reward people for trusting in us like this.

Sadly, due to the dreaded Unforseen Bills and Expenses, I'm going to have to reduce my pledge to the bare minimum of £1.

I will still buy the figures, just... in the future, when I have money available.

Proof of Concept mini, Frost Shaman Eamond. This isn't available on the Kickstarter, will be available on the site in November, but was done to show what a 'Kev mini, dressed by Tre' (and then photographed with a potato) looks like.

(Top one is what Tre was sent, middle one is the 'Pin Up' Celtic version by Kev).

More info here.

Pin up version needs nipple holes cut in his shirt. Or a mini-kilt.
