I think we've wandered far enough afield in here - everyone should now be aware of both RBG's miniature scale and return policy.

Please keep this thread on topic - RBG's Kickstarter.

Thanks!

So, I don't suppose there is any chance of getting some rough concept art of what is coming with the next KS is there, Tre? I kind of want to drop my gaming budget on Kingdom Death, in the same way I kind of want to do lines of coke off the thighs of hookers, but I am totally in love with the RBG models I own, and was sad to miss this last KS. I could avoid my deviant ways and save the money for some RBG lovin' if I knew what was coming

Dodicula, you have every right to post as you say. However, in this forum you can only post the same thing so many times until it becomes repetitive and derailing to the thread, and thus off-topic.

I get your point and I'm sure many a lurker do as well. However, at this point continuing to repeat it would be inappropriate.

Certainly, if this issue comes up again you'd have every right to repeat it. But for now the point has been made.

Tre does not accept returns, and did not do so in your case. The facts are out there. Belaboring them anymore is pointless, I think.

Edit: Whoops, Alpharius already addressed this (didn't notice with the page rollover). Feel free to edit out if necessary (I'm on my phone)

Wehr, I know right!? I'm very curious about what's upcoming, and the RBG models you have that I've seen are awesome!

Well if you like the goblin models, they'll be reappearing at the very least!

Yep for now the primary focus of the next RBG KS campaign will be retooling the Aenglish first, Goblins second, and Dvergr third. I HOPE that we can get to the Infernals and the Aelfar as well but I am most concerned with retooling those first three sooner rather than later. Also I would prefer to save the Aelfar and the Njorn for a separate campaign focused solely on those lines.

Most of the goals for the campaign will be existign stuff, btu I am going to work up some new stuff for each of those three to add in to the campaign.

I mostly want to expand the Aenglish ranks with a rank of Hillander conscripts and long bowmen, and the Goblins with Wolf riders, the footmen, and a new version of Bloodmaw and Horsebane. And then finally for the Dvergr I want to expand the footmen with at least 6 more figures and add a new set of berserkers.

I HOPE we will make it to that mark. We shall see though.

No concept arts yet though.... at least that i will show.

a new Bloodmaw and Horsebane? hopefully they'll look sufficiently different enough that I can use both of them simultaneously. have you given thought to doing a few sculpts of them, sort of like goblin-bear-shock-cavalry?

Countdown to the 2nd RBG KS has begun!

Where's the countdown?

How much time until it starts?

No firm dates yet

the art is from a new post in the Red Box Games forum

http://red-box-games.com/forum/index.php?topic=155.msg0#new

Edited to correct forum name mistake pointed out below (thanks)

The KD Forum?

Found a followup post from Tre that does give a tentative start date


"Going over the plan and checking numbers and wording..... I am going to be REALLY careful about this this time around. Maybe some time this weekend? Or maybe Monday at the latest."

Interesting... Seems like it would make sense to let KD end. Or maybe he hopes to tempt a few people not to spend all their money on that one

Hopefully all current backers' stuff ships/arrives before new campaign ends!

I'll certainly 'placeholder' to start with

then see what the stuff I'm waiting for looks like before spending big again (if I can find the cash by the end)

although I could be persuaded by other KS-1 backers posting pictures too

sigh, I was meant to be cutting down on KS spending

Do we have a collection of photos so far?

Here's one with some assembled minis:

Hopefully I'll get my RBG:KS1 pledge in before KS2 finishes. Not in a "how dare Tre be running something new!" way, I just know that all the races he's planning to touch on aren't must haves for me like the Helsvakt so I'll need to be familiar and happy with the product before I can persuade myself to jump in.

I am quite certain that his goblins will be nothing short of amazing! I hope we can get a preview on them in Trollcast, to see how the details on something that small is.

Yeah, the original little spear and archer goblins have been on my someday list since I first saw them.

I think it will be bad to start a 2nd KS when most of us have not received the miniatures from the 1st one. I will not pledge until I get my stuff from the 1st one.

Hopefully Tre will have seen how much Catyperllius, myself, and others harped on Necros for starting the 2nd Blackwater Gultch Kickstarter before shipping *ANY* of the first one's rewards...

He has shipped some

at the last count it looked like 600 ish of 759 outstanding

was going to let him get a fair few away

it's just going to end up with those like me getting the horsies left

I can actually see this as a reasonable time to start (given he'd originally hoped for November/December),

folk may be Xmas poor, BUT that probably means none of the big potential competitors will start now

It's likely also a matter of slotting the work into Ed's schedule over at troll forged.

In a perfect world, the horsies show up at Tre's at the start of next week, and folks in the US start posting up awesome photos while the new kickstarter runs, generating interest etc...

ETA for the rest of the KS stuff...... I think I am getting some this week and some next week but those horses ARE going to take some time to cast.

Scipio, I am just waiting for the pill bases on the wolves and for one of the waiting forms of the Varp.

I'm guessing that we're not going to have horses in hand for at least a month based on this.

well I guess, Tre can you give us a current update? literally what models are left to actually get casts made of?

Tre just posted on the RBG forum: "Tentatively right now the first up are goign to be Cuthbert, Fergus, and the Wraith Knights. I need to confirm with Ed first and go over the plan again but this looks liek the best way forward. Cuthbert and Fergus will be character choices, the Wratih Knights will be a rank choice. I am going to be bouncing back and forth between the Aenglish and the Infernals at first and then move on to the Goblins. Got to get back to work for nwo."

there is also some sentiment on the RBG forum that some people won't back until they get their stuff from the first KS, so I'm hoping Ed is casting those horses ASAP for Tre. I want the new KS to succeed phenomenally so every backer counts.

This is what Tre wrote on the RBG forums:

I got another 2 boxes on Christmas Eve!!! I have nto had time to really QC yet but thus far it all looks really great! I now have Svetlana, Morgrimn A +B, the Hordesmen, Red Olga, and Blutulf which means there are a LOT more orders that can be shipped now! I am VERY sorry that this is taking as long as it has but this is the nature of the beast. Production issues arise at every link int he chain and they just take time to power through. I assure yo uall though that we are all workign very hard to make this happen as quickly and properly as possible.

I like these minis a lot but missed on the Kickstarter before.

I was interested in buying some of the Zombies. However, I don't see them on the Red Box online store. If I understand correctly, they were in this Kickstarter. Does anyone know whether they are/will be available more widely?

The zombies will become available (in Trollcast) when Tre has the KS orders done (and has time to update the site)

The older metal casts are sold out (along with most of his store at the moment)

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I'm glad I'll be able to get them in the future. So, I'll be patient. Have some elves and Space Marines to be painting for the moment anyway.

if you look on the previous page, Dodicula is selling his Zombies for what he paid for them (he has the metal versions if you'd prefer that to the plastic/resin trollcast). The re-release of the zombies will only be in trollcast, the metal ones won't be made anymore.

I'd prefer to wait for the plastic/resin, but thanks for the heads-up.

Its a little disappointing to see the new campaign about to launch when the majority of people haven't received their items from the previous KS. I had at least one of every model from the Helsvakt KS included in my pledge, and judging by what Tre has been saying about the horsemen there is a very good chance that i won't receive my order until after this new campaign is finished.

I really don't know if i will back this new campaign, im a big fan of Tre but at this point i've already backed 3 'Trollcast' KS campaigns and spent $600-$700 on miniatures produced in a material that i have yet to experience first hand...
