Indians with bows need an arrow in their hand. You can do this similar to the way Malifaux did it with their Ten Thunders Archers. Without an arrow, they just look silly. Archers shouldn't be pulling back 'nothing'.

I'd like to see more archers in miniatures modeled in phases of archery. Pulling an arrow from a quiver. Post arrow release. Things of that nature. Limits the amount of tiny bow strings etc needed.

I'm not sure post arrow release will work in a static model. It would have the same problem visually that pulling back without an arrow has.

Check out the archers for Malifaux...

Agree about the arrows, but I must say they need to be In "protected" poses like the Ten Thunders Archers are. Those pieces, while surprisingly easy to put in the models, are super thin.

For everyone asking about the arrows we should explain. The Warrior Nation does not use normal arrows or bows. The reason you don't see strings and arrows is because once they are pulled out of the quiver the Brave channels the energy of the earth and the bow and arrows burst into a blue flame like glow. This could be looked at as magic but its actually the natural energy of the earth that is around them all the time.

This also plays into the mechanics of the game since their bows are not stopped by cover or terrain. Their spirit bows and spirit arrows can travel unobstructed through any object in their way.

This is explained in detail in their back story and fluff. The missing arrows are not by mistake or because of a production issue. It is specific to match with the story.

So something like this then?

With those legs, preferably. Please?

You could easily design a firey arrow.

This is type of thing that looks good on a render, but sucks if you actually touch your models. Its my beef with Wyrd's new plastics... there's lots of parts that just aren't practical to assemble, paint and game with (hanging tree ropes, beckoner ponytail, etc). A real sculpt would have revealed the nonexistant structural integrity early on.

I came pretty close to giving up on the head drawings for the archers.

I can't believe there are 32 people at the $955 level. Maybe it's because it's limited (out of 40) that people jumped up... but that is a TON of money!

Granted, a lot of us spend that and more on our hobbies over the course of several months, half a year, a year, etc... I even spent that much on Dreamforge's resin walkers before their Kickstarter hit.

But to have that many people at a pledge level that high just seems... crazy!

What size are those $75 bags, is that just the BF Privateer bag? That would be a pretty good deal, if true.
*shame about the huge-ass branding on the bag, though. I could do without that.

Duct Tape solves all

true. still a shame about the rather nice finish of those bags, though.

I have these and they are assembled. The arrows were not the problem on these models (the hats were). The plastic is rigid enough and the arrows (mostly) have two contact points so they're pretty secure. You have to be fairly ham-handed to be breaking these.

I keep doubting my participation in this but now I'm suddenly very interested. Shipping seems to be less than I'm used too, also. That may just be me not paying attention though.

As for the logo, I actually don't mind the branding. Given what BF usually does with logos, this is actually pretty cool looking.

And you know what's even better? the first bag can get that $35 discount from the "rotten" swap, so basically you can get that bag with foam for about it's RRP and get two WWX starters included if you're prepared to wait a few months, as long as you're in the US (that added $25 makes this less attractive for EU backers, sadly - those should actually have some measurable interest in the game itself ).
I'm basically getting a good bag at RRP and paying a few tenners for what look to be nice models with a good (cavatore as lead dev, so I'm confident in that!) ruleset; and it's not even near the end

You might have to wait even longer than that for the bags

Not all the one's battlefoam were meant to do for CMON as part of Sedition Wars turned up (even though SW was 2 months late in shipping), and they can't say when they will show (to the point of offering refunds)

So there is clearly a production problem either with the bags themselves which seem to come in from abroad (this seems to be the issue with the SW ones?), or with the foam (production capacity in house?)

True. OTOH, even Romeo&Co could reasonable be expected to have learned from their previous experience and do better this time. Besides, I think most of us funding KS projects to a ~$200 and up tune take a pretty long view of their hobby anyway

OK guys, daft question time; I've never used Kickstarter before, but this one has be tempted. However, I want to make absolutely sure I'm not misunderstanding how this works before I pledge money.

Lets say I just wanted the Dark Council mini, the VII mini, and the Jesse James pose #1; those all have individual prices in the Add Ons list(total for all three of $38), so can I just pledge the $45 "Nasty" option and I'll be allowed to choose those specific minis in their post-Kickstarter survey? And if I wanted to add a fourth mini, I would just have to increase the pledge after the initial $45 by whatever the difference is?

Sounds like you got the gist of it right. However, since (going by dakka flag, that is) you seem to be in the UK, you will incur an extra $15 for shipping.
hope that helps

Righto, so I would have to pledge using the "Nasty" option, and the amount I pledge would be $45 + $15 + however many extra dollars would be necessary to make up the difference when a fourth model is added, correct?

Clarified it a bit; this should be watertight

We are in the final couple weeks of our kickstarter and things are going amazingly well. We are so thankful for the 650 plus backers that believe in our team and the dream of WWX.

Here are some cool new items that have recently unlocked and some eye candy goodies also on our campaign. Please come by and check it out to see the latest releases and rewards for backing our project.

Ooooh a train. Dont see many of those around

Heck I bet some people outside of WWX might find a use for this

Have to say that since finding this on Kickstarter my mind has been blown away! So many really nice models. Normally when you see a new game, you like a few of the models a lot more than the rest but, I have to say that the work on these are blindingly gorgeous. Can't wait till it's released as I have my money on the Corrupted level, a train and 4 Battlefoam bags

The only downside to all of this, is I now have trouble sleeping as I keep dreaming of being a kid playing cowboys and Indians, hehe

CowPunk will be here to stay guys, Yeeeeha!!!

I have just learnt that they will be doing additional sculpts of the hired hands if we reach 1000 backers or $250,000. That should be a sweet addition to the ranks for sure, with no doubt additional lady models to lend a hand.

A Little musics to set the mood. Man I am so excited about this game!

Just thought I would share the $185,000 stretch goal that we are so close to uncovering.

After that Outlaw has given us another 5k stretch goal at $190,000 for more terrain. We have 3 lots of Micro Arts Studios terrain sets, some official scatter terrain and Micro arts Studio bases!

So I can't wait to see what is next. Personally I would love to see a train station or some Warrior Nation huts. Anyone else have any ideas what you would like?

LOL, nice!!

For me personally, as someone who likes the minis but probably won't end up playing the game(I only manage a couple of games of 40K/Inq28 a year as it is), I'd love to see more stuff with Jesse James-style "bionics". There's a lovely set of legs on one of the Enlightened grunts and one of their Heavies, but more of those steampunk biomechanical implants would be brilliant since they fit nicely into so many different gaming systems.

I tell you, if they released a version of the Enlightened basic troopers with more integrated implants and more exposed skin, rather than clothing and exo-skeletons, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself spending obscene amounts of money - I've been dying for decent quality plastic "not-Servitors" for my AdMech.

Well once we reach 1000 backers OR $250,000 they are soing 10 more sculpts for each factions hired hands........

You want them? Come help get 'em.

I know they are supposed to be doing 12 factions, I'm hoping there is an Oriental influenced faction and an Arab influence factions. with in the twelve.
