Not that I'm aware of - it looks like "Amazon Payments" or bust.

Though maybe there's some sort of workaround using one of PayPal's various debit cards/credit cards and Amazon?

They're nice, if you're into that kind of thing. And the fact that they are grubs makes more sense (they still stand too high, imho).

But since Defiance has just release a Fortae kit of swamp worms... I have a feeling of déjà vu.

Some of the text in the pledge levels seems to be off...

Also, I don't know what he means by "garage kit".

I hope this doesn't throw a wrench in the works of Red Box Games' plans, I'm assuming Ed from Trollforged will keep doing casts for RBG, while also doing some sculpting on his own.

They'd make some nice Koralon for Urban War, but other than that I can't see an immediate use for them.

Good for the genestealer cult folks, maybe?

Also, "Garage" seems to be their own personal jargon for "metal/resin".. anything other than trollcast.

How about to paint because they're very cool sculpts? What use is a canvas painting on a wall?

I may actually put some money down on these, I especially like the chubby one with spikey neck and the split abdomen.

These sculpts are great for sci-fi or fantasy. And perfect for horror. I may have to bust out some Lovecraft or King to get in the mood.

These things are all kinds of gribbly. And with Prometheus coming out on DVD, the timing is just right. Fortunately, Trollforged is a little more subtle in its imagery.

Looking for the Empire spearmen from the Warhammer sixth edition box set (empire vs orcs) Must be unpainted and in good condition. Also looking for MIB Empire State Troops boxes.

Looking for Battle for Macragge and Black Reach Tactical squads, unpainted and unassembled.

I'm pretty sure 'garage kit' refers to that fact that these are produced in house. It's a term that gets used by scratch builders who cast and produce their miniatures themselves, usually in limited numbers due to the nature working so independently.

As for why garage I've just always just assumed it stems from the wifey wanting to keep the mess out of the house

I think in this case garage kit refers to old school models and busts that were sculpted and cast usually without a licence. They were small runs and not really a 'production' as such. They were big scale collectibles. Two of the sculpts on this are about 5" in height, almost like a 3-up of a 28mm mini.

That's what I do.
I've got my PayPal debit card attached to my Amazon Payments account.
In addition to the benefit of having it come from my PayPal account, PayPal also gives me 1.5% cash back on all "Credit" debit card purchases. LOL

The $7500 mark has been made, lets see if we can make the stretch goals!

Here some concept art:

Stretch Goal #1 12,000:

The hound miniature also the 3rd garage kit figure. At this level all pledges will be able to add a hound to their Kickstarter for $4, Grub Worms for $2 per miniature, and Hosts can be added at $5. Host pledge levels will get 1 free hound, the Swarm level will get a 2 free hounds and the queen level 3 hounds for free. The bases have been so popular I will let you add the same pledge level for the bases to your total for another set. This will mean people buying bases can pick up a mini or two pledging extra OR those picking up the minis can grab some bases for them. Please note these goals will stack!

Stretch Goal #2 18,000:

This stretch goal will add the addition of the sky hunter for $8 per miniature. This will be a large flying creature and again I'll post the concept art as we close on this goal. Also at this goal Host level pledges will get 3 free grubs along with adding 5 additional grub to swarm levels. Queen Levels will get a free flyer and also 2 more hounds and 3 more grubs. All other pledge levels will now add a Host miniature for $2 per miniature and a swarm adult for $3.

The 40 grubs for $50 pledge level seems like a really good deal, I'm surprised no one's signed up for it!

You could use these as gaunts... of course, then you'd need to double the pledge, and I don't know if you're allowed to do that? (Since adding more grubs at $2 apiece costs more than they do in the pledge level)

I like the artwork of the upcoming flying creature, and especially the hound (and there's art up for the queen now, too) but I don't like the adult and the host models... the Kickstarter exclusive larger grub artwork looks great, though.

Ugh...!

It's a great sculpt, but too "flood" and... err... creepy-crawly for me

But, it's really well done... actually better than the concept art, imo, and much better than the adult form sculpt, I think.

And since it's a big bigger than a normal human, it might make a great nurgle-esque Mutilator for those Chaos players.

the miniatures are quite cool but i'm still trying to come to grips of what i would actually use them for... i'm sure ill think of something it is already one of the projects I watch. Though it is in contention with a 2 other projects i am invested in during the same pay period
