Whether we manage to fund or not some things clearly have gone wrong and we will be asking current backers for their input.

It's good to get feedback, BUT be sure you listen so you're getting the message being sent. Not a different message.
Whether you choose to act on any given bit of feedback or not, understanding it is important.

I didn't say or insinuate that the Aravises alone would have sufficed. I don't even see how you got that from my post. I'm not offended, but it does imply a communication/understanding gap.

But, as you say - discuss that when you''ve had a chance to rest after the campaign finishes.

I ended up dropping out as Common Goblins, which I'd get another 150 of on top of my 150 Forest Goblins from last time, didn't materialize and dealing with KS isn't worth it for just a box of Aravises I wanted just because they're pretty but probably also out of scale with everything I own.

I does seem to me also that pretty much all SW camapigns are mismanaged in some fashion.

This ends in 2 hours. Doesn’t look like funding is likely. Though a relaunch has been mentioned.

The Arivises and Valkyries look nice do hope it does. Maybe a relaunch will see the Araves and goblins come to life too.

I did not back. From the begining I am overloaded with options on the kickstart page. It should be to release one kit/faction, but when I scrolled it just looked like too many choices and no primary purpose. It's the problem I have seen with most of their kickstarters that I have watched.

I get wanting to show off all your goods and hoping people will throw more at you, but it becomes noise drowning everything out when there is too many choices.

Well, it didnt fund. Not that it is a huge surprise based on how funding has gone. But hopefully they come back with a better plan.

I do want the Arivises...

Good morning everyone!

We just drop by to say thank you all for your consideration and support.
We read your (much appreciated) feedback and will implement all necessary changes :-)

Here at Shieldwolf Miniatures we have always stood by our supporters. We wholeherteadly believe that profitable companies must show their love for the hobby actively, and give back to the Community whenever possible since it's because of them that we are where we stand today.
We have therefore decided to currently absorb ALL additional costs that have crushed in the economy instead of passing them over to you!

Always cheers me up to see some good news.

Thank you @Kid_Kyoto, we try doing our best! :-)

The texturing on the troll's legs make me think of all the women who walk around in work out spandex who have no intention of ever working out

Araves and Valkyries KS relaunching this month (20th or 27th mentioned on facebook) - last chance hopefully it funds this time

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shieldwolf/araves-vs-valkyries

Yeah, This and Dark Maenad 2 are on my list for this month.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shieldwolf/araves-vs-valkyries

last try for the Valkyries ands the Araves (fantasy Arabians)

I do like the Araves so will pledge for some of them

I am in for the Garrison level araves again, but they have the 8 men deals for $10. So basically 2 plastic Sprues for $10. May get some goblins and Valyries too. Maybe some of the scifi paladins.

I was in for a box last time, but I no longer care enough to log into KS.

Both tempting.

Not sure I'll put money on the table, but they are tempting.

Looks like some good value there definitely; I just don't have any interest in those sculpts.

In for the €80 Araves Militia Army for now- it's between that or the €50 Battle party but the added Ogre(s) SG will probably swing it for the €80 set.

I don’t have the kinds of funds I had last time these were up for funding, but I hope they succeed so I can buy them eventually.

Hi everyone! :-)

13K out of the 18K minimum for the funding necessary. We'll see where it leads us, fingers crossed!

More images revealed, from the sea of goodies that stand by for the project :-)







and the daemonic versions also had been planned (for rule of cool but also according to the lore of our world)



5 days to go!

Yeah, i like all of that.

We are $2,500 ish away from the Arivises.

Are the males available? Or is this KS just for females?

They look like a stretch goal. It's not clear, though.

Hi guys, it's a stretch goal designed for gold reward levels to the Araves faction. We need the additional funding to get these created and rewarded to backers for their support.

The only hard plastic kits for females in this project are the Valkyries, the Valkyries cavalry, the Aravises.
Everything else [Barbarians, common Goblins, Araves, Qamar,Descendants of Amir, Orcs of the Valleys] is male *(Orcs and Forest goblins being considered male I guess)].

:-D

Well now update 3 changes things a bit I like that it’s leaning into the demon forms.

Probably going to swap to €50 battle party plus the Qamar add ons - lose a box of Aravises but I don’t need 60 anyway only helps the total by €15 though until the Ogre unit gets unlocked.

$887 away from funding!

Backed. Want battle boobies!
