So, a short term market then?

More I think Impact are a Miniature company, so folk going to their webstore will be after minis not random dice

as they'll be ordering in dice and probably having to do so in volume, so it may not make financial sense to commit to keep doing so after the KS

There's a comparison shot of the one complete sculpt (Dungeon Master) with an SDE mini in this thread on the soda pop forum

http://forums.sodapopminiatures.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=932&start=20

They are not going to be identical in style but should be similar

On the KS homepage they say these (type I) miniatures will be roughly 23-24mm to eyes and around 28-30mm to the top of their head once completed and will come with a round 20mm plastic base

They are going to make Tiamat.....they just do not know how big......ARRRGGG! *fftt*......Geek melt down.........

And we have art for the next stretch goal

(we're after medusa at the moment at 50K)

after her another large (type II) figure at 55K, the Hook Horror

I want Tiamat so bad...

Artwork for the Monk is finished another Summoner mini so available as a Type 1 choice.

I has to has its.... How much longer are they available?

KS ends in 7 days 5 hours. The minis will be available from Impacts! webstore for full retail price in May/June next year - once all KS orders have been fulfilled. All miniatures will be available there are no KS exclusives (the Fallen Angel will only have a choice of 1 arm set at retail KS backers get all 3)

Impact! have also said that they won't be issuing the survey until next February and you can add more miniatures then and pay by Paypal if you can only afford a certain amount now. You won't be able to change pledge level but you will be able to add as many type 1s for $5 each and/or type 2s for $8 each to the survey - the 5 minis for $20(type1)/ $32 (type2) deal will not apply to any extra miniatures added to the survey beyond your original pledge. The survey should also contain the option to buy Tiamat at a special backers price if it can be sculpted and produced as well as the dungeon stone bases,

Medusa is unlocked and next up is the Hook Beast (type 2) @$55k.

After that @$60k is a female centaur (type 1) and then a Marilith (type 2) @ $65k

Latest on the dungeon bases is that they are being moulded and may cost TBC $5 for 9 x 22mm round bases or 4 x 46mm bases they may be taken (when available) as a type 1 choice or purchased

Gahhhhh I want in.... the Red Sonya and Female Anti-Hero both look so awesome... and then... well... ponies.

Impact have just said they have has another chibi comissioned by a backer outdside of the KS

this will be available direct from their webstore after the KS sculpts ship so it looks like the line will keep growing

and on a KS note, less than $2K to Hooky the Hook Horror

Im going to have to find a way to make these compatable with Pathfinder.

Hooked Beast is unlocked next up female centaur @$60k

Uncoloured Artwork for the Marilith (6 arm snake woman)@$65k is up

The current stretch goal plan is as as follows

Gnoll (type 1) @$70k
Owl bear (type 2) @75k
Tengu (type 1) @$80k artwork below

This is probably as far as they get but they have provisionally planned

Djinn (type 2) @$85k
Sahaugin (type 1) @$90k
Flesh Golem (type 2) @95k
Gargoyle (type 1) @$100k plus at this point there may be some bonuses

Also on offer Queen Mo level (80 type 1s and 1 of each type 2 for $275) currently has 35 backers when it reaches 50 backers they will add 5 more type 1 choices to it for all at that level.

Creator Impact! Miniatures about 5 hours ago
Hey guys ... we'll make the big Update announcement of this when we reach $55k ... but Chris said to let you know now our new incentive..
We ran some numbers and would like to offer the following: If we get 50 backers at the QUEEN MO level ... we'll add another 5 figurines to the QUEEN MO level making it 85 total.

and we are currently at 35 backers with 15 more and the queen Mo will get an extra 5 Type I minis.

cheers
LGW

Sorry Lord GreyWolf fixed the Queen Mo details (shouldn't post while still asleep)

Kenny has updated his selection app http://kgray.net76.net Very good way to pick what you want and compare costs across different pledge levels

The bases are done they should have photos up this evening/tonight.

Is that a Tengu?

I really like where these are going. The only thing that might be cool is a way to upgrade some of the monster troops into a commander via bits. Like a orc captian who has a weapon or helmet upgrade. Doesn't even need to be a different model, just some bitz like the pony stuff.

I know I can always paint one guy a different color, but it may be an idea. A shield here, a spikey shoulder there and BAM! boss monster!

Another thing is as terrain builder, I think there is a market for chibi skulls. nothing says dungeon like moar skulls!

Let's go Queen Mo peeps! I am in for queen mo!

A few bits from yesterday first the coloured artwork for Marilith and Tengu





Next the Gnoll Artwork



Attached below the coloured artwork for the Fallen Angel and Succubus.

and a quick picture of some of the dungeon bases these need to be properly photographed before they are added. The bases are 46mm and 22mm solid and slotted. The current thinking is all type 2s will be supplied with a 46mm dungeon base all type 1s will be supplied with a standard 25mm slotted round base if you want the dungeon bases they will cost extra probably 9 for $5 (or 1 type 1 choice). Type 1 minis will be manufactured with a tab below the feet that slot into the bases type 2 minis won't have a tab.

Finally they have added new backer stretch goals along with the 5 extra type 1 minis when the number of Queen Mo backers hits 50 they will also add 1 extra type 1 to Overlord (so 20 rather than 19) and 2 to Boss Monster (42 rather than 40) when the overall number of backers reaches 525.

Andrew May the main sculptor is starting on miniatures on Monday but probably won't have anything to show before this ends on Thursday/Friday. Emilio the 3D artist (he did the Pony renders) may have something to show but not guaranteed - he is digitally sculpting all the Type 2 minis, 2 or 3 summoners and some of the type 1s.

That Tengu is great,

I do hope we manage to unlock him

(and the the rest are pretty cool too)

Grrrrrrr, I really want the gnoll to happen. That is a mainstay of RPGs... I would love boarpeople as well but gnolls are a must!

I hope if all the goals are not reached that either they get made eventually for retail purchase or they get lumped into a 2013 program. I kinda feel something like this could have an annual release of new models.

I am not digging those bases :(

We've unlocked the Centaur

Now on to the Marilith


Automatically Appended Next Post:
and a little more from impact

"Just received art for our 3rd mini outside the Kickstarter (see we really are going to keep making these). Also, I've asked Tom about creating a thread on the Impact Forum to discuss the Chibi Adventurers. This is where we'd post new concepts as well as pics of greens, etc. It would also be a great place to discuss Glenn's card game"

note: the extra commissioned Chibi's are not part of the KS, but will appear in the Impact store after the KS rewards are shipped. If you are really sad you missed out on being a summoner pledge for the KS you could consider commisoning one too, just contact Impact via the KS!

3 days 7 hours to go now.

Currently $1,852 away from the Marilith @$65k

The backer stretches have both been reached so these levels now have the following:

Overlord 20 type 1 picks (+1 mini)
Boss Monster 42 type 1 picks (+2 minis)
Queen Mo 85 type 1 picks (another +5 minis +15 overall)

The stonework bases are now available packs of 9x22mm bases for $5 and 4x46mm for $5. The buy 4 get the 5th free applies to the bases as well. They will allow you to take a pack of bases as a type 1 pick if you add an extra $2 per pick to your pledge or if you take bases as 2 type 1 picks you add an extra $3. The bases will be available from Impacts! store from November retail price 3x22mm bases $6 and 1x46mm base for $1.50. If you get them as part of the KS they will be delivered in April with the minis not earlier. Every type 2 comes with a stonework base as standard.

Coloured Gnoll artwork $70k stretch goal.



Owlbear Artwork $75k stretch goal



Also attached is an early render of the Bugbear - this is a very early WIP the body has only been blocked in and it hasn't been posed yet the sculptor has mainly focused on the head and face for now.

Marilith Unlocked! Gnoll up next!


Update #30 · Oct. 30, 2012 · comment





We reached the Marilith stretch goal so this TYPE II will now have one added to all the Stretch Goals that automatically get all the TYPE II figures and any other level (or levels needing more than 1) can add her for $8 each. We now have 51 miniatures in our KickStarter now ... thank you backers!



Up next when we reach $70000, we unlock the Gnoll as a TYPE I figurine.



In addition to this good news ... we have decided that anyone wanting to replace TYPE I picks for Stonework bases can do so either $2 per a pack substituting a pick or $3 for 2 packs substituting 2 picks. So if you wanted 5 packs (ie 45 22mm stonework bases), you could use 5 of your TYPE I piks and add an extra $8 to your pledge to get them ($3+$3+$2). The bases are solid and will also be cast in Trollforge plastic resin.

Above is true for now ... we are trying to change the idea about Impact! doing dice ... our first step into that was here:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/674003445/spherical-d14-and-d18-the-missing-even-sided-game

Hope to add more to this range with some time.

Some of those sketches are adorable. Even the Avatar of Yog.

Here's the finished Bugbear 3D render ready for printing



And the original artwork
