Crocodile head is amazing! My favorite of all of the big beasties so far, and I really like the bugbear.

Spaff.
Seriously?
I've been looking for a minotaur as a basis for a conversion I want to make for months without finding one that really fitted the aesthetic I wanted and then you go and draw this?
Please tell me he'll be large enough to fill a 60mm round base, give or take.

Hmm, I'm definitely not as sold on it as I am on Deathscale and Ironshield... but then that doesn't really matter for me as I will be happy to just get 2 of each of those and use the various bits to make them stand out from each other.

He will be roughly 60mm to eyeline... actually 57mm to eyeline...

Interesting looking minotaur, less blood crazed and more furious looking than I thought it would look.
Which faction does it belong to, or is it a roaming monster?

Was kinda excited about the zombies.
Saw they were 30mm.
NOPE.
Why do people do this? Purposefully choosing against to build in the most widely used size which is 28mm. Makes no sense.

Bit of a misnomer. Most of the true 28mm models around tend to be historical minis. Fantasy minis, at least for the last 10 years or so tend to be slightly larger. I was comparing my mini size to that of other large manufacturers like GW who frequently make their miniatures 30mm to eyeline. GW's only true 28mm models are their LOTR range. Also a lot of other manufacturers tend to be slightly larger and I had a whole bunch of people complain when I described them as 28mm as they would not fit in with their armies size wise. Many companies now advertise their minis as 28, 30 or even 32mm.
However, I tend to prefer the size of 28mm miniatures like the Perry's produce. They tend to be slightly finer and I like that. Moving forward, we will be referring to our range as 28mm... not 30mm. But to be fair 28 or 32mm they are pretty much the same scale.

If they're meant to be "GW compatible" call them "heroic 28mm." If they're Perry-style or GW LotR call them "truescale 28mm".The terms may not be exactly 100% correct, but they are the common-use terms that everyone understands. Like "restic" isn't 100% accurate, but we all know what it means (as opposed to "premium plastic").

I think just using "28mm" is probably best- as "heroic" tends to imply exaggerated proportions, which it sounds like you want to avoid.
I believe Infinity is listed as 28mm, but putting an Infinity model next to a GW model is quite eye-opening

You are right. We are now referring to the range as 28mm. I think it avoids confusion. I originally changed it under advisement to 30mm as they found 28mm ambiguous because of the heroic scale differences. You can never please everyone! So 28mm it is! My sculptor is back up and running now so I should have the additional sculpts by next week. Then we will be ready to launch. I have asked for two additional zombie hulk heads to be done by our artist. I have gone for a cyclops head and a armoured variant. What do you think or is there another head you think would suit?

The terminology issues with scale are certainly annoying. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Perry/Infinity size minis, they're too titchy and delicate, but at the same time GW's "heroic" scale is just comical.
In the end the best way to avoid issues with people interpreting the scale of your range wrong is to take proper scale shots, by which I mean a pic with multiple models from different manufacturers to show relative scale, and a straight-on pic of one of your models next to a ruler(in mm) to show absolute scale. And do the same again for any models that are significantly outside your range's norm to avoid people being annoyed(I recently got the Empire Command Set from FW, at the time it mentioned no scale differences on their page, but the models are 34mm to the eyes and look ridiculous next to normal models - not on IMO).

I have now discovered a use for 3 Deathscales and 2 Ironshields . If you add on an extra brute to the 4-pack, will it come with the extra parts that the 4-pack ones come with?
Also, any hint on that start date? 2 weeks of October left

The way the KS will work is that, if you purchase the 4 Brute, EB option you will have 4 Brutes of your choice with any combination of parts that have been unlocked plus the free stretch goals you qualify for. You can buy any additional parts you wish for the purposes of customising etc from the addon store. You will need to purchase any additional brutes direct from the addon store. You can purchase multiples of the pledges from the addon store too if you wish.
The reason for the slight delay is that my sculptors 3D equipment failed and he has been waiting for a replacement. Luckily he has these parts now and has just finished the purgatory shield and mace for the bugbear! I will post them later for you guys.
The KS will definitely starts soon I promise... It will be October.

And here they are:
There will be an arm attached to this weapon as the piece will be joined at the shoulder. The arm will be the same as the original one but the angle the hand is holding the weapon will be different.

Anyway, can't wait for this Kickstarter to...start!

Oh wow I completely misread that as riptides.
Sure there are tides here in the bay, but they're not early as strong as out on the ocean beaches. Swam out to Spar Island several times.
I'm really liking the minotaur. Everywhere else always has the horse/bull face to almost comical ratios.
