I won't complain. 
Add another zero on the end there, and you get yourself a little Mini-Digclaw to crush your enemies with.

Kekekekeke, I lured my friend to it and he pledged as well. He's a bigger Tactics Advance fan than I am AND it ships right before I move back to where he lives. Maybe a second friend, too, now.

The more the merrier, it really won't take much to hit the goal, and then sail past it to more stuff.

Just wondering before I start buying mass amounts of those $9 square foot blocks of 1" tiles from Home Depot.

A cheaper alternative might be to grab a chinese food pail of econo bases from GF9 at Origins or GenCon

Perhaps, but then I'd have to texture and paint them. I was actually able to find textured stone style ones today. Also, I'd have to wait until Gencon...

This ones in a tough spot for me right now... I got so many models from the first EFT Kickstarter that I've got most of whats alredy out. Unless it breaks a bunch of stretch goals I can't see myself going above my $85 pledge and that makes me sad.

Bonus Unlock!
Chain, The Heroine of Time
To go along with this plug, and for reaching the base goal, we've got a secret character unlocked. In Endless' storyline, the character named Chain has died and been reborn thousands of times over the centuries. This version of Chain is from just before The Crystal Fall, 212 years before the current events in The Miasma War.

Kickstarter Update - Here is the News wrote:Good News, Bad News
Good News! All but 3 pledges have finalized.
Bad News! Those three pledges come to about $4k.
There is still about a week left for these pledges to clear, but if they don’t it’ll be a major kick in our budget. The good news is that we still have enough to cover all of the sculpts and their production, this will mainly affect the speed the book’s art completion.
This will most likely mean that we will ship printed copies of The Miasma War Book separately from miniatures, as to not hold up those shipments.
Digital Rewards
We’ll be sending out codes for the Endless: Fantasy Tactics Rulebook and The Miasma War PDFs this weekend. The Miasma War will be the current playtest build of the rulebook, lacking some fluff and a majority of the art. Over the next few months as we tweak the scenarios and add in art, you will get update notifications from WargameVault. When you get one of these notifications, just log into your WGV account and download the updated file for free.
Please do not wait too long to redeem these codes, they will expire after a few weeks.
AI Card PDFs will be sent out in a few weeks.

We'll send out basic surveys before then to collect your address, which you'll be able to update if need be before we ship out.
Until Next Time...

It wouldn't be an OTLG product if it wasn't produced on a shoestring budget!
Like I said in the update though, there shouldn't be any issues getting the figs out in a timely manner; and we've still got till April '15 for the book to be 'late'. We still feel confident about being able to hit that date, it'll just be tougher on our budgets then we would have liked.

Update from last night:
Miasma War PDF Updated
Just in case you missed the notification e-mail, The Miasma War PDF was updated this week.
Updates:
Minor Tweaks to The Miasma War Book.
TMW Map Pack Added! Includes the maps for The Miasma War Scenarios sized for playing on, and printable on 8.5x11 (letter size) paper. It should also work on A4, just don't scale the print.
EFT-Core AI Cards - More units have been added.
Just head to your WargameVault account and redownload.
Visiting Hours - Witch Class Preview
This week's Visiting Hours features a preview of backer created Witch Class, from the Rhapsodist pledge level.
The art on the card is just a placeholder until Noah can do the proper design next month, the proper Witch will be a Rapteran Female.
Work in Progress Sculpts
Sean has been busy this week working on the Mandragora, Kappa, and Gargoyle Demonite. Shown below are still rough work in progress shots of these three monsters.

It took me awhile to realize that your turtles weren't just painted super dungeon explore models... I guess I should wait until he has a head though...
I hope the Mandragora isn't anywhere close to being done. The arms, hands and feet seem way off to me.

I'm okay with the arms and hands of the mandragora, but that spear blade needs to be way bigger.

I love the concept and concept are for the Mandragora, I just don't think it's been translated well into a sculpt yet... While I see all the major features of the concept art in the sculpt, the sculpt doesn't really pull it together. To me the sculpt looks more like a bunch of bits and pieces mashed together then a fluid object. Mostly I think it's the arms and weapon that needs to be changed.

Noa has pumped out a few pieces of Miasma War Unit art this week:
Behemoth
Grug
Mage of Corrupted Sea
Mai Yunito
She has another piece coming later today that will be a part of the next Visiting Hours blog (Endless DLC). Next month she'll start tackling the scenario scenes, other interior MW art, and the Backer Created Unit.
Other Stuff
Sean's Miasma War sculpting will be done next week-ish (Just the Fire Troll & Zebolg to finish up), so we'll be able to begin casting work on those sculpts at the end of the month. We're waiting to hear back from Patrick on how his batch of sculpts are progressing, and hope to have some pics to share soon.
We've got a few things in the pipeline that we're not quite ready to show off, but hope to add to the pledge manger.. such as six new Gels (3 by Bob Naismith, 3 by Bryan Steele), a second Item Deck, and something else that we won't know for sure about until after Gen Con.
Until Next Time...

Absolutely adore that deep troll! And the new concept art looks awesome, and really really feels like it belongs in the realms of FFTactics and the like.
Still unsure how I really feel about the Fire Troll, but I cant quite put my finger on it. Needless to say, Ill need to hold judgement till I see the full mini!

Post by: RiTides
Agreed, that deep troll is simple but well done! Captures the look of the art really well. Now if just the Mandragora spear were longer there'd be two models I really like. Although that wouldn't be hard to convert. I like that you guys have really gone for it with some of the non-human sculpts!

Two Updates this weekend:
Hey there folks, here are today's finished sculpts!
Fire Troll
Zebolg
This means that all of Sean's sculpts are done, and will be in the office next week...
Here is a group shot of all of Sean's sculpts:
Right to Left: Fire Troll, Deep Troll, Zebolg, Mandragora, Gargoyle Demonite, Kappa.
Once they get in we'll start molding and casting them up... which means we can start shipping them next month.
Pledge Manager
We'll go into further detail soon, but its our goal to have it open up at the end of the month and stay open until all of Patrick's sculpts are finished up. If you just want to get Sean's sculpts or the current range, we will be able to ship your rewards pretty soon.
We'll go into this more in a future update.
More Art!
Boss Yazz / Beastmen Foreman
Battsu, The Green Swordsman
Wait... There is no character called Battsu in the Miasma War campaign?
New DLC - Trials of Battsu
This week's Visiting Hours features a new series of scenarios for Endless, "The Trials of Battsu." These will be a series of Challenges that tell the story of Battsu, the Green Swordsman. Each will be designed to test your tactical skill and place you up against nearly impossible odds. The first scenario "Battsu vs The Hundred Elves" is available right now at the link above.
So, how well will you fare against The Hundred Elves? How many can you kill before their numbers will be to much?
The link in the image above will take you to the Trials of Battsu PDF, available free on WargameVault, which will be updated over the next few Visiting Hours, providing a glimpse into this new character's history, and significant battles in his life. As new VH battles are released, that one PDF will be updated to include them free of charge.
Let us know how well you do against this Challenge, we want to hear how many Elves you can kill before they prove too much!
Until Next Time...
Which might be later today, Patrick is going to be sending some WIPs over soon. We'll be at Giga-Bites in Atlanta, GA demoing Endless all day so communication might be slowed a bit; but still shoot us an e-mail/ PM or comment if you have any Questions/Concerns/Comments!
Hey folks, two updates this weekend! We had to head off to Giga-Bites before Patrick's pics came in, so here is a second update to show them off. These are all in various states of progress. Make sure to check out Yesterday's Update to see the finished Fire Troll and Zebolg.
Lunarian
Chain, Heroine of Time
Berserker
Frayce Deepwell
Barghest
Giga-Bites
We had a great time at Giga-Bites, and will be going up there again next month on the 16th. Huge thanks to the backers who came by to say hi and play some Endless!
Until Next Time!
We'll be getting Sean's sculpts in early next week, and will begin the molding/casting process for them, so there might just be some pics of the new models on a board! Shoot us an e-mail/ PM or comment if you have any questions/concerns/comments.

Hey Folks, not much to report on this week.
Pledge Manager
Surveys have gone out, and just about everyone has gotten them filled out. Kenny is hard at work getting the pledge manager ready, and we're currently looking at Mid-to-Late Aug to get it ready for everyone, around or after the 18th is most likely.
Miasma War Casts
We received Sean's sculpts, and have gotten the first mold made. We'll be getting the rest of them made this weekend and into early next week, with proper casting beginning then. We'll have some pics in the next update of the casts.
Hard Cover Books
We're very pleased to announce that we'll be offering a Hard Cover option for both the Rulebook and Campaign book. The SRP on these will be $50ea, but we'll offer them to backers at $35ea.

We've gotten the master molds completed for all of Sean's sculpts, and are working on casting up a few copies to make into production molds. So far things are going well, and we should start making production copies this week.
I snagged a couple of 'destined for the miscast bin' casts, cleaned/fixed them, and then painted them up.
Once we start getting production casts going we'll send copies out to Rollin' All Ones & Miniature Mistress to get nicer studio paint jobs.

New Class - The Witch
As you might remember, we offered a reward level where you would get to work with us to design a new unit for EFT. We just got the art in for it, so we're quite happy to unveil The Witch:
This is also the first art we've gotten done of a Rapteran, a race of winged humaniods.
Here is her stat card:
She will be sculpted by Patrick Keith after the Miasma War sculpts are done.
Zebolg & The Gargoyle Demonite
Here are my quick paintjobs on Zebolg and a Gargoyle Demonite! I'm still working on a Fire Troll, so pics of that in the next update.
Gen Con
Gen Con starts this week, and while we don't have proper presence at the show, Tom is planning on doing some Endless gaming while at the show. Check out his thread on the forums for more details.

The time has come! You can now lock in your pledge. However, we're not going to set a timetable for this just yet, we know a lot of folks want to wait and see all of the sculpts before they commit to anything and that's perfectly fine.
Head over to: https://www.skykadia.com/on-the-lamb/reset-password/
Enter the E-mail you gave us in the survey. (or in the case of 5 people who didn't fill out there survey the E-mail you used for the Kickstarter account.)

Yup, you just goto 'Pledge Levels' and select the level you want to change to.
If you need your pledge unlocked let me know, and I'll figure out how to do that.

Thanks, it really means a lot to us to hear y'all being so excited for the new stuff.
We just got in the last piece of art for DLC 01 (  ), and have gotten a running start on DLC 02... so please look forward to it.

I'm super excited to get my stuff, even more so cause I got an easier adhesive for my boards thanks to some prep work for selling my house in Colorado. It's been a good week for EFT news.

Locked in mine as well. Took me a bit longer to finalize my decisions, but I'm good to go now.
King Gel + Gel Army, here I come!
As a side note, can the King Gel spawn the new gels like he did the Warrior & Wizard? Or is that something my friends & I can just house-rule on?

King Gel just spawns Warriors and Wizards.
But you should keep an eye out for DLC 02, coming at the end of the month.

Minor Update:
Majority of cards are in. We're just waiting on the Gel Warbler, Wyvern, and Wilding cards.
We'll begin shipments on Monday or Tuesday.
We also went down to Orlando and picked up the prototype for something awesome... more details on that soon.

We talked about it and I will get 4 or 5. I want multiples of so many models, like all the summons, that my Fal are going fast, plus I still need to add in for books. Worst case is she will have to run 4 Berserkers and Pugilist

I DID forget Taisen mode.  I'll have to peak at those rules again before finalizing.
My plan is to start with two of most everything, including some of the characters, but excluding large models. Past that I will pick up extras if they are favorites, often get played on both sides of the table, or work better in groups.

Yet More Sculpt Pics! wrote:Hey Folks, got some more sculpt pics in from Patrick!
Chain - Heroine of Time
Frayce Deepwell - WIP
Acolyte [Orc] - WIP
Rhapsodist [M] - WIP
Sculpting Progress
Chain is done, and Patrick is planning on having Frayce and the Acolyte finished up next week. The Rhapsodist, Rune Fencer, and Rin Azel should be done shortly after that. The Witch, and some non MW funding related EFT sculpts will be coming after that.
We should have Chain, Frayce, and the Acolyte in the office and casting for them started by the end of the month. So far the bulk of locked pledges include one or two of these three sculpts, so we should be able to make significant shipping progress once they get in.
Other updates
These were posted on our Facebook page but I'll go a head and repost them here in case you missed them. We got some more preview pics of the Geomancer boards from Warsenal. These are of the Water Temple theme based on the map from the Miasma War.

Deepwell looks good. I plan to use one of him as an alternate bandit without the cloak. The acolyte's pose is very dynamic, and I like the belly he has going on.

Not yet. The Rune Fencer [M], Rhapsodist [M], Rin Azel, and Witch [R] are the last four things that Patrick is working on after the Acolyte [O].

Should go out tonight or tomorrow. A combination of my getting sick and having to remake a mold for part of your order held things up for you and Whiteroo.
Also prevented my getting the Gelato 4/Visiting Hours done on time. Automatically Appended Next Post: Surprise Monday Update!
Here are some more finished sculpts!
And here are the starts for Rin Azel and The Rune Fencer [M]
After those two is just the Witch. So with the sculpts almost all done we'd like to request the last few of you finalize your pledge manager picks. We're still not putting a hard 'the pledge manager will close on XX date' out there, but its probably going to be some point in December after Christmas.

I got my KS package last week. I only had the Mandragora (and Frayce, thanks to the unlocked SG), but I must say I'm really impressed by the quality of the minis.
I did a quick unboxing blog post of both those figs here:

I already started to paint the Mandragora. Can't wait to put more time into it.

And another batch is going out today.
I ran out of mold release yesterday morning, so casting is halted until tomorrow afternoon. The next batch will go out later this week, probably starting on Wednesday as I've got the next couple of orders *cough* Platuan4th *cough* packed up aside from the one to-be-casted figure it needs.
If you stop by SWM at Adepticon next week, don't be surprised to find me in zombie mode... and for us to have very little miniatures stock, though we will have books, Geomancer tiles, and announcement type things.
