Project Update #37: Imperium Immortalis by Shieldwolf Miniatures

July Update... PM is closing shortly (2nd and LAST notification)!

Posted by Shieldwolf Miniatures Jul 13, 2020

Hello everyone!

We have been sending notifications and reminders every 7-10 days, and now we arrived at a point where the Pledge Manager is closing down in 10 days (on the 22nd of July).

For everyone that have filled it in all cool, there's nothing else you need to do. For everyone else who hasn't however, please do so ASAP, because (unlike all our previous projects where we ended up to having stretched far and beyond to accommodate everyone) once the PM closes down we will NOT be revisiting it!

As we speak, we have 71.05% of backers who have submitted the PM with 28.95% who haven't. Whilst 42 of these backers had selected no reward and chose not to upgrade (which is usual), we still have some backers who pledged a respectable amount and not selected their rewards. Remember, 10 days to go.

This is the last update notifying you of this, please let us know what you'd like!

Thank you.

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

Appreciated @Orlando

2 DAYS LEFT EVERYONE, please make sure to submit yours on time.

Thank you.

Hello everyone!
This might interest you.

PS. Yes, after all these years this is the first ever(!) time we have a sale. Should things go well, we will establish it for the many years to come :-)

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

Help us pick the next HIPS kit for Fantasy? What would you like us to create?

Thank you! :-)

**BobtheInquisitor**

I chose Araves, but I would also buy some of the Valkyries. Demons are already pretty well covered in plastic, as are goblins (for my needs anyway). I don’t remember what the other option was as it didn’t make an impact on me.

**highlord tamburlaine**

You forgot the barbarians Bob.

I went with Araves as well. Nobody does those really, and if they look vaguely historical you could fudge them into other games too.

Much like Pepperidge Farms, I can remember you guys showed off a heavy Krumvaal barbarian that looked really nice. I can't even find the render of it now! I always wanted to see those realized in resin or plastic.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Some day someone will make plastic Barbarians, possibly from some northern region. Some day.

Another use for the Araves design they showed is that some minor tweaking can convert them into Assassins or even Wizards. Lots of Wizards use turbans and face coverings, like Aganhim, Professor Quarrel, and that one sorcerer from that one episode of Buffy that one time.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
What made the Krumvaal Barbarians distinctive in your opinion? I’m no Pepperidge Farm.

**Shadow Walker**

Moar goblins variety is always good to have.

**Llamahead**

So the Frostgrave or Northern Alliance models not to your liking then Bob?

The opposite. My point was that there are barabarians from Frostgrave, Mantic, Conquest, Reaper, and tons of historical kits that can pass. I’m happy with the current selection.

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

Thank you, this is helping out a lot! :-)
(Very interesting results so far...)

**lord_blackfang**

I vote Araves too, because nobody is doing anything like that currently, so it's a genuinely new option.

**warboss**

I put in a vote for the Valkyries. *fingers crossed*

**Monkeysloth**

Would have preferred a ranked vote as hard to just choose one. I choose Araves for many of the same reasons as others. Valkyries would have been my second choice (I'd assume the wings are optional if plastic). Barbarians a distant third. But I'd liked to also have seen some concept art to really see how the Barbarians would be different then everyone else. I own most, if not all of Tre's from Red Box Games and a lot of various sword and sorcery themed ones so I have a lot of coverage there.

**StygianBeach**

Well that was easy.

Araves all the way.

**bubber**

I chose 'other' & put zombies. GW ones stink & the Mantic ones are only slightly better. Don't know who else does fantasy zombies in a multi-part plastic kit.

Got a pile of those ones and the other living dead from that range. Excellent models, highly recommend.

**Gallahad**

I voted Araves. Nothing like them on the market. If done right they could also make nice proxies for Slaanesh mortals.

Those are two good reasons in my book.

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

We don't simply hire people, we invest in them!
And we are growing, so if you are interested, please let us know! :-D

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

As we get closer and closer to the delivery of the Imperium Immortalis kickstarter parcels to our backers (in average over $250+ additional worth from MSRP!) we are going to be seeing in the coming weeks what you helped us create come to life. :-)
One of our painters is showing off his work so we are eager to see your reactions.
For the KavallerieDivision we are going with multiple colours on the horses but we are curious to see what meets the eye best?

Thank you.

**GreenScorpion**

I think A looks better.

In what relates to your previous post, I sent a message through your site's contact form asking about what kind of vacancies you might have, but got no reply.
Any info on that? I couldn't find any additional information on what exactly you were looking for.

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

@GreenScorpion

I'm sorry nobody got back to you. The position has been filled, and we are very happy to welcome Christina to the Shieldwolf family.
We were looking for an additional caster, due to production having met it's limits; we cast for multiple other companies worldwide, and having our entire 2021 slots already booked meant we inevitably needed to bring in more people. Furthermore it's been good solid business for a number of years now so expanding at this point is inevitable.

**warboss**

Congratulations! That's a good "problem" to have to solve.

**GreenScorpion**

@Shieldwolf Miniatures: That is good to know, nice to see smaller companies increase even in these strange times

**Shieldwolf Miniatures**

@Warboss
Yes they are!
@GreenScorpion
We are in this for the long run. Steady does it :-)

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

ooh exciting

**Gamingdog**

Anyone else still waiting for there Black Friday Sale orders to arrive? it's been 10 weeks and still nothing
