Does anyone knows what is the scale on those ones?

Left-most one is the 54 mm pin-up. Middle one the "regular" KD pin-up. And a Marine

Aya the Survivor?

Wish I would have found out about this game sooner. No doubt Kickstarter is going to put me in the poor house.

Sooner?

There's still 40 days left to go - plenty of time to jump on in and get yourself into trouble!

Ha yeah, I meant the nice Black Friday deals. I always miss out on the early kickstarter deals . I should probably pay more attention to these things...

I really want the Non- pinup Twilight Knight. And Forsaker. But they're probably heroes...

And lol Cyporeian

RiTides - as predictable as the days of the week!

Hopefully he'll offer both versions up to make everyone happy...

Agreed Alph

I still have the resin female Game Hunter sitting in her box. I'm terrified to touch her with a paintbrush as I don't think I can do her justice.

Yeah, I actually had the resin Flower Knight... felt so fragile. I am really looking forward to these models in plastic! I kept the art print-out, though

And you beat my edit CC, so this is a separate post, but don't tell me this Twilight Knight isn't more awesome than the other (or do, and we'll agree to disagree!)



And I think the upcoming Aya the Survivor is actually the original female survivor (the art outline Alph posted above is the same as is posted for this mini):

I rather like this one myself:

Hi, just up on the Kickstarter page a $400,000 stretch goal:

Looks like Adam has listened to everyone wanting the previous pin-ups in plastic, this could very well be the first of many pin-up/general re-releses, I hope your wallets are ready.

Regretfully the same here, I've got both the Beyond the Wall and a Mother sitting in thier box still, the only two miniatures I've ever manage to get hold of, despite being such a large fan of thier work
ever since they first out. They are without doubt the most beautiful miniatures I own, but thier just so light and fragile feeling that I can't bring myself to even put them together, let alone paint them.

Feels like a bit of a waste really.

Um. No

As mentioned a few times here on on KS, this looks like it will very likely be the "old" female survivor in plastic http://shop.kingdomdeath.com/product/survivor-female . At the very least, the outline is identical to the artwork of this mini. She's fairly decently dressed, and it would make sense as this is a stretch goal people get "for free" with the survivor pledge.

Pin-Ups will remain optional, I believe has been said, both because they dont have (and wont get, according to Kingdom Death) game rules and because there are people on the KS (already?) who seem a bit uncomfortable with the Pin-Ups.

I wouldn't worry dude, I picked one up yesterday, the BF Launch 3, just take 10 mins on an evening and refresh the page a few times and if something appears then go like lightning!!! Worked for me

I'm glad that they have an option for her without the skull hat.

I really can't wait to see how dark and creepy the lore is for everything. I hope they go nuts with the fluff.

This project keeps luring me. I tossed $1 to watch the updates as they come in, but the $100 + at least $50 in options I want is not doable for me atm.

The thought of mixing and matching all the different things is scaring me.

I mean, to take the time and magnetize everything (properly), and make sure everything looks good together... and then the inevitable time comes to paint...

Maybe I should assemble one full kit of one male and one female from each armor variant and then magnetize the other sets...

Or maybe I should train and hire an army of monkeys to do it for me.

I'm debating one which would be faster.

@RiTides later in the campaign I might make additional armor kit sets available as options. If someone wants to make an army of phoenix armor kits that would be pretty awesome to see! I won't be doing any of the swapping bonuses tho, because it makes everything so logistically complicated. This may change down the road, but please don't count on it! Indeed the Lioness sculpt came out amazingly well! Her artwork was my favorite until Lokman finished the Primal Huntress. She has my favorite face of all the optional pinups based on the armor kits. ( well… so far! )

@The Fragile Breath, she will be back at some point. Just focusing on the kickstarter for now!

@Breotan, do you think people would want official sig banners?

@IdentifyZero, why thank you! I am sure everyone running a kickstarter campaign cares a tremendous amount about each backer and their individual concern. I think it's just a matter of organization and staying on top of things which seems to be increasing in challenge!

@Bacms, scale is 35mm which is similar but not exactly like 28mm heroic. The models look about right as heroes in GW armies. An infantry block of them might seem like a group of giants tho!

@Chemical Cutthroat, I would suggest making survivors as you go the first time thru. Similar to Mordheim or Necromunda ( for me ) it was way more fun to just jump in then tinker with the models during the week when we didn't have any opportunities to play.

Nice scale pic!



Very helpful to have - thanks!

You should send her to me, then I'll paint 'er up and send you back a picture

I'm not fussed about the pin-ups per se (will probably miss them), but I would definitely up my pledge for a Twilight Knight version. I'm also really excited about getting hold of Aya - very cool sculpt.

I'm currently waiting to see what else pops up before commiting any more hard earned cash.

Such an impressive kickstarter in general - well done to KD (keep it up!)

Sig banners would be good especially if they incoroprated a KS link

(though I am using one of the avatars at the moment)

Yeah.... I know, the surviour in the silhouette is Aya the Surviour (listed as Surviour Female on KD's shop), the pin-up version is this version here: http://shop.kingdomdeath.com/product/pinup-survivor.
Ironically the only pin-up I'm not a hugh fan of. It's pretty obvious that the pin-ups are only going to remain "opitional" that pretty much goes without saying to anyone whos been watching this kickstarter, admittedly I shouls have wrote that post alot clearer.

Anyway my bad, I used "pin-up" instead of "limited release" when discribing her, I keep messing up the "Phrases" KD use. Regardless it will still be intresting to see how many of the older miniatures Pin-up or otherwise that will get re-released via this kickstarter. Really glad to see Aya get the plastic treatmeant, never manage to get hold the resin version.

Silly question but are custom kickstarter related sigs and banners really that important? I noticed a lot of people seem to request this sort of thing, do they really make a difference to the success of the kickstarter or peoples perception of it?

I thought mine did. ;P

No, but it does help advertise that it is going on. The more forums you post on, the more advertising, the more money to the kickstarter, the more cool "free" stuff we get.

Yeah, to get what I actually want out of this is getting too expensive to jump into the kickstarted, given that I only really want specific models to paint. I think I'll just wait for the plastics to go up on the site and cherry pick what I want (which is pretty much limited to the Beyond the Wall model, and a few of the character models).

It's nice that they scale well to Warhammer Fantasy though, if a tad tall.

You actually need to put the following code into your profile (copy & paste) in order to have a functional link to the kickstarter:

ahh thanks

done it now

In for $200. Survivor package plus the two expansions. Given the absolute beauty of all of the models seen so far, that number will probably increase in the next month. I'm just thrilled to be able to get so many of the figures that I wanted at such a steal. A whole regiment of King's men for free!!

Thanks for the reply! I had actually been pondering this. For example, the models lend themselves to counts-as High Elves rather well.

Phoenix armor = Phoenix Guard
White Lion armor = White Lions

At least those two

However, I'll probably stick to using them for your game. Alph's size comparison photo is helpful, but I think that's a GW (high elf!) model with a very tall helmet- these models will stand well above most of their GW counterparts. Not that that's a bad thing as I like the scale for these.

I remember thinking the resin flower knight I got was Really tall, but I think it is taller than the "standard" models.
