Subject: Midgard Miniatures Kickstarter - Midgard Campaign PDFs available as add-ons!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/607885648/midgard-rpg-miniatures
From the main campaign page...
Six years ago, we were first introduced to the world of Midgard by the folks over at Kobold Press and their Kobold-in-Chief, Wolfgang Baur. Midgard has grown considerably in that time, especially with the recent release of the Midgard Campaign Setting.
But in all that time one problem has remained - how to represent the unique characters and races from Midgard on the gaming table. Perhaps a skeleton for an Imperial Ghoul? And what about Dragonkin, Gear Mages, Harem Assassins? And with the newly released Campaign setting even more people are now in need of characters and monsters to suit their game for this wonderful new world.
Well, EasternFront Studios and Kobold Press have teamed up to bring the world of Midgard to life on your gaming table with an exciting new range of quality miniatures.
Mick Leach, with his stable of talented artists and sculptors, has already started work on bringing these miniatures to your gaming table. The initial goal is to fund the production of 6 miniatures of the same quality that you have come to expect from EasternFront Studios. Check out pics of the initial minis below - the Dwarf Wanderer, Ghoul Necromancer, Gear Mage, Harem Assassin, Bone Collective and Aboleth.
All models come cast in high-quality resin, but can be upgraded to metal if you pay an additional $2 per mini to be upgraded
This can be upgraded with a clear, blue plastic water base for $5. Image below.
Unlocked Stretch Goal Type M Choices
Mharoti Emissary
Pledge Levels
We want to try and make this kickstarter as flexible for you as possible and minimise complex trades so we can focus on making you quality miniatures and getting them to your gaming table as quickly as possible.
Each miniature in this kickstarter is classified as one of 2 types: Type M (up to 35mm in height) or Type L (over 35mm in height). Each Pledge Level from GOBLIN onwards gives you the choice of one or more Type M miniatures that you can choose from the initial list and any unlocked through stretch goals. These choices can also be traded in for Type L minis. The Eastern Front Trading House section below outlines how many Type M choices each Type L mini counts as.
The Trading House also contains other extras and options that you can add to your pledge and rewards. For example, you can add more Type M and Type L minis to your rewards and 'upgrade' your resin Type M miniatures to metal (Type L miniatures, such as the Aboleth, cannot be made in metal).
Each human-sized model counts as a single type M choice, but there are larger available and that will become available.
The aboleth counts for 5 type M choices.
Best Value Pledges
$30: 5 type M choices
$50: 10 type M choices
$70: 15 type M choices
$90: 20 type M choices
$110: 25 type M choices
$210: 50 type M choices
$395: 100 type M choices
All rights to the custom miniatures remain with EasternFront Studios and Kobold Press. This includes sole rights to manufacture and produce them.
Finally, you can choose a maximum of 10 miniatures of a specific model due to Kickstarter guidelines.
Additional Type M Choices
These come directly from the Eastern Front Studios webstore. More will be added as type M conversion pricing is determined.
This is an upgraded, blue plastic water base for the Aboleth. ($5 add-on)
Current Stretch Goals
Female Gear Mage
Alesid (Deer Centaur)
For more information, check out their facebook page for extra greens and concepts for the project and it's stretch goals. Or you can visit their webstore to shop around a bit and make requests for models you'd like to see available on the project as choices (at almost half price!)

Well it is now twelve days until that magical time when humans, dwarves and kobolds alike wear little red and white hats, elves abound, reindeer get ready to fly a magical sleigh across the sky and all the inhabitants of Midgard give each other presents in a final effort to be good and avoid the attention of Krampus. Across Zobeck this time is known as... The Twelve Days of Krampus. There is a traditional song often sung at this time across the Crossroads called the Twelve Days of Krampus. Well, we here at the Eastern Front Trading House have decided we should have our own version. Each day between now and Krampus Day (25th December) we will reveal another verse of the song and reveal what it means for you - maybe some news, more options, freebies, who knows? Speaking of which, here's the first verse... "On the first day of Krampus My Kobold brought to me A Kicker Goal with Freebies" Kicker Goal If we reach $25,000 by the end of the 25th December (EST) all backers at the following levels will get bonus Kobold minis: DWARF gets Myrt, a Kobold Druid SCOUT gets Wit, a Kobold Rogue, & Myrt GEARFORGED gets Chim, the Kobold Alchemist, Wit & Myrt BANDIT KING gets Nerl, the Kobold Bard, Chim, Wit & Myrt GUILD LEADER, ELF and CLAN CHIEF all get Jiro, the Grey Wyrm (the Kobold Quarterly mascot), Nerl, Chim, Wit & Myrt. And let me introduce you to them. Myrt, Kobold Druid Wit, Kobold Rogue Chim, Kobold Alchemist Nerl, Kobold Bard Jiro, the Grey Wyrm

New update out!
Project Update #9: Second Day of Krampus
Posted by Mick leach
"On the second day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Two lumps of silver
And the Kicker Goal with Freebies"
Freebie Added to $9,000 Stretch Goal
Lothaus - miner, diplomat, devotee of Rava, Keeper of the Shadow Bell and Jiro's harder working cousin (credit to terraleon at the Kobold Press forum for that) - has been moved from the $11,000 goal and added to the $9,000 stretch goal.
What's more, should we hit $9,000, Lothaus unlocks as a freebie for all DWARF level pledges in addition to the Alseid (Deer Centaur) becoming available as a Type L model.
Lothaus (LOTH-ows), Kobold Miner
Stretch Goals Reordered
So what's happening to the stretch goals then? Well they all move down one - $13,000 now unlocks at $11,000 and the $15,000 now unlocks at $13,000. Stay tuned as more is revealed as we count down the remaining days of Krampus.

"On the third day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Three secrets revealed
Two lumps of silver
And a Kicker Goal with Freebies"
Concept Art Revealed
Well its a few more secrets than three... we thought we'd reveal the concept art we have for possible stretch goals.
But what we really want is your input into what our next stretch goals should be.
Do you want the Deer Centaur as the $9,000 stretch goal? Or would you like one of the others? Have a favourite Midgard beastie or race or character type that isn't included? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section of the Kickstarter.
We want to let you, the backers, have a strong say in what the stretch goals are from here. We'd like your help to give you the minis you want for your Midgard games.
So, without further ado, here is the concept art.
Deer Centaur (seen above)
Crossroads Amazon
Eye Golem
Grisal Dwarf
Ghoul
Gypsosphinx (Vulture Sphinx)
Minotaur Corsair
Priestess of Frey & Freya
Raven Mage
Rudwin the Pilgrim
Tiefling Summoner
So if you're a backer, or are thinking about backing, and any of these things appeal to you, pledge a bit and voice your choice for what order you'd like to see these appear in

A new update appears in the mists of Kickstarteria...
"On the fourth day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Four Monsters Lurking
Three secrets revealed
Two lumps of silver
And a Kicker Goal with Freebies"
New Options Available
Again, you asked for more options from the existing range to be available and again we said sure. but unfortunately my kobold cannot count very well, and we actually have 5 monsters you can choose from.
You can trade in some of your Type M choices for them or increase your pledge by the amount listed.
Remember To Have Your Say
And a reminder - please let us know what you would like to have for the next stretch goal. We've got over 100 backers but only 14 responses so far. In about a day we'll have our first poll on what the $9,000 stretch goal should be and if you don't let us know what you'd like to see next we can't include it in the options for you.

I really dig the look! I don't have cash for another KS right now, but I will likely be picking up some in the future! Very nice that you have the artist from Artesia doing the concepts too (and maybe more?) I really dug the look and feel of that comic.

The Fifth Day of Krampus is upon us!
"On the fifth day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Five Witches Awnings.
Four monsters lurking
Three secrets revealed
Two lumps of silver
And a Kicker Goal with Freebies"
$25,000 Stretch Goal Sneak Peak
Baba Yaga, Grandmother, trader of impossible secrets, and owner of a remarkable abode - a log hut with enormous chicken legs. This hut is the $25,000 Stretch Goal, standing between 8 to 12 inches tall (203 to 304mm).
So yeah, here's hoping this thing gets reached because holy crap!

Alright, the 6th day of Krampus is upon us and now it's time for the official backer poll to determine the next stretch goal! If you're a backer, or you are sitting on the fence because something you want isn't available yet, pledge a bit to get your voice heard!
This update is for backers only and has the link to the polling site.

A new update is on the horizon!
"On the seventh day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Seven Vultures Circling,
Six questions asking
Five Witches Awnings.
Four monsters lurking
Three secrets revealed
Two lumps of silver
And a Kicker Goal with Freebies"
$15,000 Stretch Goal: The Gypsosphinx
The Gypsosphinx - harvester of corpses, master riddler, and foreteller of death - lion-bodied and vulture headed. This fearsome magical beast soars on its giant black wings seeking carrion to consume. The Gypsosphinx will be the $15,000 stretch goal.
And here, without further ado, is both the concept art and work in progress shot of the green.
I don't have any information at this moment on how many choices it will be nor how much to add it to your pledge. But as soon as I do I will let you know.
12 Hours Remain To Have Your Say
Ok, its closer to 12 hours and 30 minutes, but anyway the poll on the $9,000 stretch goal will close at 11:59pm Thursday 20 December (EST).
Currently the (female) Minotaur Corsair is holding her small lead at the front of the pack. But close on her heels (hoofs?) is the Tiefling Summoner who has managed to widen her lead ever so slightly over the the Alseid (Deer Centaur). The Raven Mage, however, has closed in on the Alseid and is very close to overtaking him. However, anything can still happen and might depending on the votes cast. Do you have a favourite that you would like to see as the next stretch goal? Then make sure you have your say now.

The eighth day of Krampus update is here!
"On the eighth day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Eight kobolds for sneaking
Seven vultures circling
Six questions asking
Five Witches Awnings.
Four monsters lurking
Three secrets revealed
Two lumps of silver
And a Kicker Goal with Freebies."
Free Bonus Minis Every Third Stretch Goal Hit
Ok, the next piece of news is that every third stretch goal we hit will contain a special free mini for you, like the free kobold Lothaus offered with the $9,000 goal. If we don't make the kicker goal, then it is likely that the first bonus at $15,000, will be Myrt, the Druid Kobold. As we announce the various stretch goals we'll also annouce the bonus minis too.
And The Winner Is....
So the $9,000 poll has closed, and the winner is... the female Minotaur Corsair. Automatically Appended Next Post: Another update comes to play!
This one is, again, for backer's only. It contains the link you'll need to vote on the $11,000 stretch goal!

Since the project Gnomager got sick, he said he was behind on his days of Krampus, so this update is to catch up
"On the Ten Day of Krampus
My kobold brought to me
Ten Sculptors Sculpting
Nine dwarves a raiding
Eight kobolds for sneaking
Seven vultures circling
Six questions asking
Five Witches Awnings.
Four monsters lurking
Three secrets revealed
Two lumps of silver
And a Kicker Goal with Freebies."
Introducing the Sculptors - Jason Wiebe, Fancagne Didier, Drew Williams and Tim Prow
Tim Prow has been sculpting for 15 years and has produced work for FASA, WizKids, and Reaper. He spends much of his current time running his own studio, through which his work he has been involved in film and tv. We don't hold the fact he recently did a range of Yu-Gi-Oh! figures against him and neither should you.
Jason Wiebe has sculpted for Reaper, Dragon Forge, WizKids and Wizards of the Coast and is the chief wizard at Pariah Artworks. He is also sculpting the miniatures for Low Life and will initially be responsible for any and all kobolds in this kickstarter
Fancagne Didier, in addition to being a renowned sculptor, is also multi-lingual speaking Vietnamese, Vanuatu Seke, English and French. He is spending much of his recent time sculpting for Kaha Miniatures.
Drew Williams is a regular at Gen Con, won 2 Frothers Unite! Pro-Am sculpting competitions, has sculpted for AEG, EM-4 Miniatures, Demonblade Games and Black Orc Games. In addition he does maquette sculptor for Pixar and is our resident enigma.
When the elves stop playing with the camera I'll give it back to my worker gnomes and put some pictures of their previous work up on the front page for you all to enjoy.
Have a great and merry Christmas.
------------------------------------------------
The update page displayed more of their work as examples of the level of skill to expect.

Now that the 9k female minotaur corsair has been unlocked, and 11k looms on the horizon (only $700 away!), the poll for what the 13k stretch goal will be has gone up!
If you want to have a say, head over to the project and back it. The choices for 13k are the Eye Golem, Deer Centaur, and Raven Mage!

Yeah! I'm kind of excited to see what comes of the deer centaur and raven mage. The tiefling summoner (the current 11k stretch goal) has some great art, so I'm hoping the green is equally as impressive. Looking at the vulture sphinx green and the dwarf give me high hopes for the other sculpts

Woo! Another stretch goal down! Update here
Hi everyone
Thank you all for making the Raven Mage a reality, one of my personal favourites.
Raven Mage Unlocked
Reaching $13,000 means that the Raven Mage is now available as a Type M choice.
And all Scout pledges and higher now receive Wit, the Kobold Rogue, for free.
$14,000 (Unexpected) Stretch Goal - Grisal Dwarf
I'm happy to announce a new stretch goal at $14,000 - the Grisal Dwarf.
Thanks to Mick we realised we can add him and the Gypsosphinx for less than we realised so we've added him now without having to change the targets and significantly reorder the stretch goals again (as we would have if we added the Alseid).
If we reach $15,000 we unlock the Gypsosphinx (Vulture Sphinx), another of my personal favourites. The Gypsosphinx will be a Type L model, costing $20 or 5 Type M choices.
But thats not all. If we reach $15,000 we also unlock Chirm, the Kobold Alchemist, for backers at the Gearforged level and higher.
New FAQ Added
Also, a new FAQ has been added to the home page - this time about what levels receive the bonus kobolds. The short version is that all selected reward levels above those list get the bonus kobolds. Please note this isn't about how much money you've spent but the highest reward level you've selected. For more information check the FAQ.
Polls Closed
Well the hand sprue customisation poll is now closed and we had 79 backers vote. The minotaur corsair won by 5 votes, with the raven mage and Mharoti Emissary close behind.
So too is the $17,000 stretch goal poll closed. The winner was the Alseid (Deer Centaur).
Stretch Goals
So, what does our line up of stretch goals now look like?
$13,000: Raven Mage, Wit (Kobold Rogue), Minotaur Corsair Hand Sprue - ACHIEVED
$13,500: Raven Mage Customisable Hand Sprue unlocked

Final Countdown Begins
Well we are in the final 4 days now until the end of the kickstarter. We still need to push the word out because we still have a couple of stretch goals up our sleeves that we think you'll love.
As you can see from the chart below, Kicktraq reckon's we'll reach $17k and a bit. I say we can do better than that. Time to tell your friends, enemies, family, even Grandma about us.
Leave no stone, log or garden gnome unturned,
Let the call cry forth and our troops rally.... For Midgard!
--------------------------------
So yeah, some really awesome minis have been added to the set and I think I'm going to have to grab that amazing Demon Toad and maybe an adorable Offal Worm Automatically Appended Next Post: And lo, another update on the horizon!
Hi everyone
Nearly $1000 raised while I was asleep, meaning we've blown by some more goals.
Alseid (Deer Centaur) Unlocked)
Reaching $17,000 means that the Alseid is now added as a Type M mini to your range of choices.
And all backers at the BANDIT KING reward level and higher now get Nerl the Kobold Bard.
Hand Sprues Unlocked
Along the way we also unlocked the last of the hand-sprues:
$15,500: Tiefling Summoner
$16,000: Kobold Miner
$16,500: Kobold Druid
$17,000: Alseid (Deer Centaur)
$19,000 Stretch Goal - Deathcaps.
Again, as asked for by our backers, the fearsome Deathcap will become available as a Type M choice if we hit $19,000.
Bonus Mini
Plus, if we reach $19,000 that also unlocks Jiro, the Kobold Mage, and Kobold Quarterly mascot, for backers at the GUILD LEADER reward level and higher.

Well, we're down to the last 48 hours now so we've put up a bunch of new stretch goals for you.
$22,000 Stretch Goal - Gearforged Huntsman
Another one of my favourites, the Gearforged (Clockwork) Huntman will be available as a Type M choice if we reach $22,000.

Baba Yaga's Horsemen
Our next 3 stretch goals feature Baba Yaga's terrifying horsemen (Red Sun, White Day, Black Night) who act as the Old Crone's agents and warriors across Midgard.
$28,000 Stretch Goal - Red Sun

New Options Added
Finally, backers requested even more existing EFS minis to choose from, and we were happy to oblige. You'll need to go to our Kickstarter page for more information about what they are and their costs.
But you might just find some of the following:
A minotaur
Sea Elves
an underwater revenant / phantom
an anti-mage assassin
and more
Final 48 Hours
Well we're done to the last 48 hours and counting. This will be the last chance to grab the minis you want at these prices and to get the word out so that you have even more choices available.
Lets rock these last 2 days. Let the cry go forth.... "For Midgard!!"
-------------------------------
Tons of wonderfulness there! I am seriously excited for the gearforged huntsman and the knight kobold, personally. Although the beetle rider is quite adorable
