Aside from being horribly confusing, Im not comfortable backing someone to produce a kit hes already had two years to produce and done done, thats not even related to this kickstarter. Its utterly baffling.

The thing with Heresy though is that Andy is such a stand up guy that if his Kickstarter was just a blank page saying that if you pledge something - you will get something cool that is worth it...I would likely take him up on that. I have been a customer of his for 10 years, and have never been disappointed by any of the purchases I have made.

Absolutely, 100% agree with this.

Bought various different things from Heresy Miniatures over the years and have never been disappointed. One of the nice touches is a small pack of sweets and hand-written 'thanks' note with every order!

I only discovered Heresy last year, but was very happy with the stuff I got in the one order I placed (ghouls, giant slugs, Manbane the minotaur (what a fun model!), Azaroth, and a cyclops, IIRC). And the little bag of sweets was indeed a nice touch!

I actually went ahead and jumped in on one of the Pantheon EB's on this. It presently doesn't really add up to a good deal (it's cheaper to get the stuff included separately), but Andy confirmed in the comments that stuff will get added to it. We shall see!

That zombie with the cleaver made me think of this

Heresy's stuff is very nice. I just wish the campaign wasn't so short (16 days?) as it's going to severely restrict my ability to pledge for anything.

edit: "was" = wasn't

Waiting on your pay day I'm guessing?

Well, I get paid fortnightly, and I usually work out what I'm going to buy/pay for ahead of time. So my next pay is already... shall we say... fully booked.

Couldn't agree more!!

Aside from the wonderful gribbly monsters, I was always especially impressed by the casting quality of everything - something that was probably helped by the deep details on his models. Resin should benefit even more from this!

I was able to pick up a discounted "factory seconds" Dragon from Salute the year he started making them, and it has become my nemesis! How do you even begin to store something that big, let alone do justice on the paintjob? But it is truly awe-inspiring, and I imagine that the Netherlord has a similar effect.

Not only do I expect this to be delivered well on time and to an excellent quality, I'm looking forward to Andy getting involved in the comments and showing us all of the new goodies that will be going up.

The little tick type beasties

Apologies RiTides- these are the Terror Mites not Terror Grubs.

Terror Grub is the new £10K Stretch goal/£10 add on for Large Monsters reward level.

Yep, I figured that out

Although I actually think the Terror Grubs are unlocked already . It's the awesome Tunnel Dweller that's the 10k goal!

Balls. You're right of course. I'll sort the OP out.

I'm not really in a position to pledge for anything given my current situation, but I want to throw my support behind Heresy Miniatures. It's a great little company and I've always been extremely happy with the products I've received and the service that goes with them.

So if you like the looks of this thing, then pledge!

Agreed!

On a further note= the Tunnel Dweller and Gribbly Slug models are now available

Update #4

£10,000 Stretch Goal reached! Tunnel Dweller and Gribbly Slugs Unleashed

Crikey, this is all going so fast!

We just hit £10,000 which is fantastic! As a result, the Tunnel Dweller and the Gribbly Slugs can now be produced in resin as part of the Campaign.

Time to work up a few suitable Minion Class Rewards to accompany the Tunnel Dweller and his slithering slugs...

I've changed to the Tunnel Dweller pledge level, so my early bird Monster Mash spot is now open (likely very briefly)!

New £13,500 Stretch Goal! Nice one Andy

Update #5
STRETCH GOAL #2 - PANTHEON UPGRADE

OK, I need to gather my thoughts and stuff, so I'm making the next stretch goal a little further away to give me a chance to recover from this blizzard of Awesome. When we hit £13500k, everyone who has pledged at Pantheon level gets Upgraded. Instead of 2x Minion and 1 x Large Monster, You're going to get 4 x Minion and 2 x Large Monster!

And I have a further Upgrade for Pantheon planned for later on...

Debating upgrading to the Pantheon now, gah, I was supposed to be leaving funds back for the Mierce KS.

Size comparison shot with the Tunnel Dweller:

£11k hit so new dollies :-)

£11K HIT, SO NEW MINIONS FOR YOU!

Update #6

Hi all

Since we hit £11k, and that's a special number for me (it temporarily clears the overdraft until I buy all the resin and silicon I need!) I thought I'd spring a new Minion Class Reward on you - behold, the lovely but so vicious Demoness Furies!

Thirded!

I have bought loads of SF figures (all the Non-Doctors, for example) and tools, Procreate putty etc from Heresy. He does great figures that can be used in a lot of games. The little handwritten note is a very cheerful personal touch.

This kind of grass roots company is part of the life blood of the wargames industry and deserves to be supported.

Very true Kilkrazy.

I use Andy's Hell Hound minis as Khymerae for my Dark Eldar

I'm a big fan of his Lurker heads. Makes them look very alien indeed!

His Snow Troll and Dungeon Troll models are being used as a Clawed Fiends for my Dark Eldar also.

Those look like they might make good Pretta hounds for Combined Army in Infinity actually.

What kind of scale are they Angelofvengeance can I ask?

28mm scale. The hounds sit comfortably on 40mm bases.

Nice doggies - I haven't seen them before. I could see using them as Fleshhounds, almost.

I hope they're recast in resin too. Metal ones are nice enough but I'm not a fan of green stuffing the joints. I'm a bit of a noob where that's concerned.

Yeah, I'd only buy those in resin. The multi-part metal aspect of them looks like a nightmare. Also, I'd love to see some optional compatible ruffs or frill-necks...

Hey Andy, why not make the Dragon itself a stretch goal at £50,000?

Pulling in at 13.7K and we now have the Pantheon pledge upgrade unlocked.

X1 Netherlord
X1 Fallen One
X2 Large Monsters
X1 "Big Boris" Half Ogre Barbarian
X4 Minions

All for £220

Yup, with this upgrade the Pantheon level is starting to look a lot better. Many options to choose from here, and more to come it seems!

Ha, it doesn't seem likely; this is from the KS FAQ:

Will the Dragon be part of this Kickstarter? You keep wanging on about it...

Most definitely not! This campaign is very specifically post-dragon in it's nature. I can't wait to get rid of the queue for that beast. If you want one, you can get in the queue for it on the main Heresy site, here:

http://www.heresyminiatures.com/dragon

Why would the dragon need to be a stretch goal? Its still available in the store, and if you order now you'll get it before the KS finishes even though you'll be at the back of the queue.

https://www.heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=54&products_id=260

Doing very well
New £15k stretch goal today folks- These doggies kinda remind me of the Zool doggies from Ghostbusters 1

Update #7
PANTHEON UPGRADES UNLEASHED!HELL BEASTS NEXT!

Morning all! £13500 passed! Upgrades to Pantheon unleashed!
The PANTHEON pledge is now a sweet deal indeed! The PANTHEON pledge is now a sweet deal indeed!

It's only day three! Pantheon will be revisited again in the next 13 days, trust me...

What a great thing to wake up to here in the UK!

STRETCH GOAL - £15,000


I'm thinking Hellbeasts next, a much-loved and missed (Seriously, I miss them. Actual emotional attachment to my little guys) but I have to take new pictures of them - they were last photographed so long ago that all I have are tiny jpgs that won't do at all in these modern times! I think the camera I used to take the pics at the time had a floppy disk drive! (It was a great camera, though - took great pics.) LOL. The Hellbeasts will be available individually at Minion Class level TO START WITH. I'll bring the Hellbeasts in when we hit £15,000, and I'll add some better pics later this morning once I've got them photographed anew... time for some coffee and toast!
