Overnight we've made it past the 40% Funded checkpoint!

This is a meaningless iterative increase in an arbitrary number, as time wends its way towards our ultimate destruction.

We're really excited though, thanks for all the backing!!

Backed for mother and squad. needs to get to the donkey for my plans for them to work out

Another decimate passed overnight, now we're steaming!

We've now passed the 60% mark... there's only a short jump to go now to reach 100%, and then we can start unlocking those Stretch Goals!

Because Little Donkey Cavalry are awesome, that's why!

A big jump in the last 24 hours, we're now 80% funded!!

Getting really close to the line now!!

I like this, but I would have liked the proper grimdark version, with boots, and ammo belts, and gear, more. These are just a little too silly for me, but the work is really nice. Good luck!

I've added a stretch goal of ammo pouch / wargear accessories accessories sprues, so you can add on extra gear. Hope that helps. :-)

Are we paying extra for shipping? Only thing holding me from pledging

The pledge levels have an associated small shipping charge depending on your country - you can see it before paying.

Pledged for the mother Teresa with powerfist.

I'd love to get more, especially lasernuns, but hobby funds are tight.

Kinda wish there was a fireteam option with 5 sisters, but I understand why it's the full unit

No worries!

Any plans for "storm" nuns?

Other useful Nun variants are planned - depending on how well the funder goes(!). I have had a few requests for semi-armoured Nuns, which might suit your desire there.

I guess the normal nuns would make some nice female Frateris Militia for 40k (with rules for IG allies). Some battle-hardened nuns with worn-out clothes, wounds/scars and some simple bionics would be an interesting addition (not only for 40k).

Heck just use them in combination with other sci fi stuff like the maelstroms edge civilians and boom, easy conscript squads

Posted a message on Kickstarter, but if other variants are pre rendered, would it make sense to put them up as add ons?

Each model matter printed & moulded costs quite a lot of money, so it's best for us to unlock extra model types in stages, so that we know there's enough money in the pot to cover the various costs.

Otherwise for example, we might unlock a bunch of kit types, and if they don't sell, we'd make a two grand loss on the campaign!

I can see that. It might be an incrntive then to post pics about further goals

Pledged for the laser squad and the mother.
I hope the accessories will avalable as an add-on if the stretch-goal is not reached as I find they lack a bit of details (especially a belt).

Thankyou Samko!

I'll ensure they get added to our range in any case, and right now with the speed at which we're taking pledges I'm very confident we'll get them as a freebie.

I have no doubt the kickstarter will do well

It's also at times like these where I wish I was a billionaire so I could fully fund a project in 3 clicks

Just got another pledge. Well this is exciting. I haven't wanted a small scale Kickstarter to succeed like this in awhile.

Looking forward to pledging shortly.

I wouldn't know a secret if it bit me with its comically oversized teeth.

Those look great. Any other weapon options?

The right arm is glue-on, so weapons choices can vary there yes. Set contents yet to be announced...

I'll actually need to pop into my FLGS and buy a well-known model or something, as I don't have anything particularly mainstream in my collection right now (!) to scale against.

Pledged for a platoon of nuns.
