Subject: Re:Impact! Miniatures Chibi Gaslight/Horror KS - starts next week.
got some more details from Tom looks like Sci-Fi is in as well so i've added the artwork to the first post.
To start as soon as they put the last parcel for Asian KS in the post (that they can ship they are still missing some addresses).
We have lined up 27 new miniatures for the campaign (working on 28 right now if we can find a sculptor how can finish before end of month). Current plan is a funding goal of $5k for the 15 figures that Chris has picked as the starting set with a new figure added by vote every $1,700 from there.

Dave and others who are thinking of getting in on this chibi Cthulhu campaign- you might be interested in this other one, which is only for a single chibi Cthulhu model, and ends in 3 days.
Unfortunately it's a bit steep- $35 for one model, and another $15 if you're international... but thought it was worth sharing so no one missed it, if chibi Cthulhu is your thing

I'm more in this for the Sci-Fi stuff and anything that is generic enough to be used as a fantasy type hero/monster, the whole Cthulhu mythos stuff holds very little interest for me, I know it's very popular it's just not to my tastes most of the time.
I just got my Asian Chibis and I am pretty happy with the quality. Material is easy to clean! Minimal cleanup, just the vent points.

Because nothing in the galaxy is black and white, Mankind views the Space Marines as a last resort. The last line. When all else fails. They take up the burden. The noble defenders of Mankind. The last hope.
With finecast you can bypass the washing stage and throw them straight into the bin.
Or cut out the middleman and just flush some money down the toilet.

Type 1 are 30mm approx and Type 2 are 50mm approx that's largely design dependant. They scale very well with other popular chibi figures but they are their own thing proportions can be slightly different (heads are a little bigger) they weren't designed to exactly copy another style.
Thanks for the update, DaveC! And Joyboozer, I'll edit that link out of my post tomorrow since it ends today, so that should put an end to the confusion finally
Edit: Disguised the link inside the text, so that someone looking for it can find it, but someone glancing through on a phone won't mistake it for the real thing

Most of them look great, but the flapper's face needs to be tweaked a little bit to make it look like she's winking. The open eye needs a bit of an angle. Also her body proportions seem to be off from most of the other work you guys have done.
I don't have an unpainted image of the flapper so I'm not sure how much is the sculpt and how much is the digital paint job that might be causing the issue.
For the record I have no connection to Impact! Miniatures I was lucky enough to get chatting to Chris and Tom during the first chibi KS and they now send me previews of the artwork and sculpts and look for feedback on them but that's the extent of my involvement. The headset on the light infantry was one of my contributions I also had them redesign the cyborgs bionic eye as it didn't translate well to the original sculpt, Chris must have been wondering what the hell was going on when I sent him a load of Borg images! (Sci-Fi isn't really his thing)
I've had a chance to give the KS page the once over now note this is subject to change before launch.
As before there are type 1, 30mm miniatures and type 2, 50mm miniatures. There's a points cost system this time type 1s cost 1 point and type 2s cost 2 points.

Lots of people use these for RPGs where you have a free-form bestiary, Like Pathfinder and D&D.
Some people use them as alt models for SDE and Heroquest or other games where the RULES exist but the minis don't.
Others seem to collect and paint them for fun.

I think they are waiting until it funds but the poll is open already link on main KS page. I actually voted student in the end the sculpt turned out really well, I think the Ithaqua will win but student just looks very good too.

You'll see it soon enough as it's halfway to funded. Chris sent me a picture of it but I've only posted things in the first post that are publically available in some form or other actually Tom hadn't even seen some the images I have! some of the artists posted images to their blogs. The only exception was the Flapper and Hastur as I wanted to recreate the artwork advertising with actual miniatures.

The thing is, most of the ones I'd be interested in are these (the insect / alien ones) and they're not listed. Will they all be unlocked one at a time pending votes...?

Exactly!

. These look much more interesting to me than the Asian-themed campaign ones, too.
