Subject: Heresy Minis KS: New Stretch Goal:15K Hell Beasts pg2
I think I like the Hell Hounds better, personally. Also, noooooooo dragons in this campaign, thank you very much! And as noted, since you can order that in his store already in resin, there's no reason to give KS a cut if someone really does want to get in the back of the queue and pay £200 for one. I was in the queue long ago, and got out back when you could still do that but I've been impressed how he has persevered with it- a lesser man would've cut his losses and taken a lot of folks money down with him. He didn't, despite a lot of financial pressure to do so, and I think he's come out a lot stronger for it. Like I said, I successfully ordered some models from him last year and feel confident enough in his having learned to cast in resin, and in his track record, to pledge here

So 3 of the demonettes have their nipples covered, but one doesn't?
Come on now!
No madam, 40,000 is the year that this game is set in. Not how much it costs. Though you may have a point. - GW Fulchester The Gatling Guns have flamethrowers on them because this is 40k - DOW III

As I have stated numerous times in the past, these are in my opinion the best goblin sculpts in the market out of any manufacturer. They combine perfectly the evil and malicious character with a menacing appearance. There is nothing funny, silly or cartoonish in how they look. I never understood why every company makes them look so silly. They are monsters at the end. Congratulations once more Andy for these best looking goblins.
I find the opportunity here to express once more my wish to see you making other goblin units as well (swordsmen. spearmen and wolf riders)!!

Just FYI, Andy/Heresy isn't posting in this thread.
Yeah- I have nothing to do with Heresy Miniatures. I'm just a big fan of Mr Foster's work and eager to have my Dragon which I've patiently waited so long for!
FYI- Dragon IS NOT included in this Kickstarter. IF YOU WANT ONE, JOIN THE QUEUE VIA HIS WEBSTORE.

Yeah, I will echo the love for the goblins, they are far and away my favourite Heresy sculpts and also my favourite goblin sculpts from any manufacturer.
It's good to see that the shaman from Goblinaid is still available, I hope Andy does some more goblin minis in the future.

Is he shutting down the webstore in the interim, or still using keeping it going?
There's a fair bit I'd like to get, but it might be more betterer to just buy stuff directly from him every so often (as I usually do) rather than pledge for existing figures at a slight discount in a KS to be delivered in Janua^^^^^ July or later.
He mentions about orders being delayed a bit when he has been doing dragon-production, but nothing about the KS. Although, if this KS keeps on going the way it is going I would probably try and get your order in before the end of it!
As for why shipping to RoW now costs more for web purchases..
Spoiler:
LYING LIARS WHO LIE FORCE SHIPPING COST HIKE
Last year, a man from Iowa City, let's call him Justin, ordered some figures off me. He then emailed me to say they hadn't arrived. I sent him another box. He then said this hadn't arrived either and claimed the money back from Paypal. No boxes were ever returned to me. He didn't pay for trackable shipping so i had no way to prove he'd had either box. End result, I was out over £100 of stock and £25 of shipping.
Now a man called, let's say, Patrick also from Iowa City, has claimed via Paypal that his £84 order hasn't arrived that he wanted in time for this weekend; he didn't pay for express shipping DESPITE WANTING IT FOR A SET DATE. Despite also the fact it's only been three weeks, he has escalated it to a claim on Paypal. Just checked him out on Facebook. Guess who's on his friends list? That's right, Justin.
So basically I'm being ripped off for another £100 of stock and shipping, and now I'm going to have to change the cart so that anyone from overseas has to pay the extra £7.00 shipping charge for trackable shipping. Everyone loses. Well done, Patrick and Justin. I hope you feel like powerful manly men playing with your stolen toys. You've made life that little bit worse for me and for all my customers.
(Paypal always finds in favour of buyers no matter what proof of shipping one has, they don't even read the evidence.)
I have now added a £7.00 handling fee to orders from 'Rest Of The World' countries, which covers USA, Canada, Australia and The Far East. This means any order from there will pay £7.00 extra which will cover the trackable/signed for service to their country. If you're one of my regular customers from over the years, I will refund the extra fee or give you extra miniatures towards the cost if you wish. I don't see why the people who've kept me in business should suffer for the ones who try to put me out of it.
Again, apologies for this, but it seems to be the times we live in now.
