Chris just posted the following which should make you both happy:

Creator Impact! Miniatures 3 minutes ago

Tom doesn't want to say something because I'm always the skeptic and want to make sure it will work before offering something up. However, we are having a 3D artist do Uni so we can use that to remove the horn to make a pony, add wings for the pegasus, and add back the horn for the alicorn. We're confident the art works and we can produce a 3d print, but haven't yet sent it through the moulding process so we could mass produce it.

Oh and they are probably going to make the Uni dice as people keep asking for it. It will just be the white and gold version with Uni on the 6 side. Dice are $3 each or 2 for $5.

eeeeeeeeeeeee!

That's it, pledged.

Bit late adding this but Chibi Skeleton and Zombie have been unlocked (both type 1s $5 each)



Currently closing in on 3 headed Ogre @$25k ($296 to go) (type 2 mini $8)



Then @$27.5k One Eyed Demon, The Mummy, Dwarf and a Lich become available (all type 1s). They moved the Dwarf and Lich up the schedule too complete the Questing Hero set so no artwork is available yet.



Questing Hero pledge level will be added once $27,500 is reached it will contain the following (no substitutions) for $125 . It will be a level in it's own right or it can be added to any other level by adding the appropriate amount to your pledge total.

1 Barbarian
1 Master mage
1 Dusk Elf Assassin
1 Dwarf

1 Demon Prince
1 Lich
4 Evil Fighters
8 Orcs
6 Goblins
3 One Eyed Demons
4 Skeletons
2 Zombies
2 Mummies

The Dwarf and Lich were moved forward as they have an idea for the pony enthusiasts that they want to incorporate to appeal to a different niche/type of backer.

The artwork for the Fire Mage created by a Summoner level backer should be up soon and will available for all to buy at $5 or as one of your type 1 choices. There is a second Summoner miniature coming soon as well.

And some more info for the Pony backers

We submitted a Unicorn die to get a sample as well ... should have it early next week to show. $3 add-on. We are looking at making a Pony Pack add-on that will hopefully allow you to create up to 6 different ponies from this list of 8 (Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Nightmare, Alicorn, Flying Nightmare, Nightmare Unicorn, Nightmare Alicorn) along with a Unicorn die as a $30 add-on package (and probably its own reward level). It is STILL a work in process. We do NOT yet know if we can actually add this on yet (which is why this is a comment and not an Update. But just wanted to mention that it is something we are working on for those that asked. We are also still working on how it works with the KickStarter as this is all an extra expense we had not planned so it might not totally work with the current TYPE I system of the KickStarter and we are working to figure out what works for us costwise to make this happen.

The 3D model for the Unicorn is in and has been uploaded to you tube this will form the basis of the other minis.

Yikes Hell no!

Oh noes

It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

I feel something terrible has happened.

There's going to be a pastel invasion with hooves and scarily jaunty voices.......

Smart move though, and it should make lots of collectors very happy

(the bent leg needs work though, it's too long as is, but in the art it looks ok)

Yep they've identified a niche and a lot people have asked for these pony minis that would have no interest in gaming minis. I have no intention of getting any of the animals but if it gets pledge money in and I get my Heroquest set faster I've no problem with it.

I've a horrible feeling I might cave and get a set to annoy folk who get too serious when playing Relic Knights

(well they are animated if not anime characters)

If only I can pay down my CC to a point I can use it again before the KS ends)

and I don't even like MLP (well I don't dislike it either to be fair)

@OrlandotheTechnicoloured ... I'm checking with our artist. He sent us the Unicorn with all 4 hooves on the ground to start with. Based on working with him in the past ... normally he would than have articulated the knee and body to leg join and just pulled the art into position. So I "think" the leg being longer is an optical illusion. But I will verify with him that he did the articulation and pull to have the length be exact.

Also this is a personal moment for us to give up a grudge point. Last year, Impact! took 2nd (silver) in the Oggie awards for best new miniatures concept. We were beat out by the Make Your Own My Little Pony. sooooo ... while the Oggies are not a huge award ... it does sting when your teenage boys use it to joking mock you about it around once every two months. . So this is our way of gaining peace with the MLP community in our own minds by giving them an add-on package with our Dungeon Adventurers KickStarter.

And for those that are NOT pony fans. You could get several of the small Nightmares as horde monsters and then the 60mm Nightmare we will hopefully unlock as a Boss type monster and have fun removing them from the dungeon.

Tom @ Impact!

Thanks for checking up on the leg

I certainly think they will be a fun addition

The Questing Hero level is now available as the final 4 figures will get made whether they hit $27,500 or not. Costs $125 for 35 minis no substitutions it can be selected as a pledge level or it can be added to any other pledge level.



The 2 silhouettes are the Dwarf and Lich as the artwork still needs to be done here's the coloured One eyed demon and Mummy.



3 new summoner level figures will be added soon for all to buy they are a Female Fire Mage merged with a Fire Elemental, a Death Knight (Lord Soth), and a Female Praying Cleric. Available to all for $5 once the artwork comes in.

Finally like em or not the pony and a rabbid are now available backer Glenn McClune provided the 3D file for the Rabbid so they are making it as well. Pony options pack is in the works

When is Uni going to be available? Those MLP figures are lacking in the obiquitous runt with the raggedy mane that the little guy had. Not to mention all it looks like was done was to take a MLP picture, and just made one.


Heck, if you are going this route, just do it and call it a day as a secondary option. I don't like them at all, but if they bring in the cash- I say the heck with it. Put them out there and pull out the stops.

Lets see those pretty ponies with eye patches, glasses, fangs, bat wings, fairy princess pixi wings, sceletal ponies, lizard ponies, or whatever these flakes want or Whatever....

Bring those ponies on, and then as the cash flows, let us see the rest of the old school lineup. Warduke was only the tip of the iceberg, you know...

http://www.toyarchive.com/Dungeons&Dragons/Figures/LooseAllSeries.html (We haven't even scratched the surface from the rest of the material, yet.)


All I ask is that we get a reasonable not-Uni.

I made a suggestion for a chibi Cthulhu and Chris from Impact! just responded.....

ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! He will rise from his ocean home to devour us all. At least that's what I had planned. :-)

Just need new backers to help him. If you noticed, one of our most recent minis projects was entitled Necronomicon: Cthulhu Mythos, so, ya...I'm a fan.

Chris

Update 16 confirms Cthulhu figures planned for Stretch Goals #12 and #13 so that's type 1 size and a larger type 2 size as well. They will be cultists and an Old One.

And new pledge level added:

Boss Monster $175 (plus $3 international postage)

Choice of any 40 type 1 minis (including duplicates) and 1 of every type 2 unlocked. You can stack Questing Hero on this for a total pledge amount of $300.

Well I was waiting for the Pony Pack for use in Relic knights

but anything that looks decent and says Cthulhu, I'm in (even if we're not there yet)

I'm hoping for some Chibi Insmouth Yokels & Deep Ones later

One Eyed Demon, Mummy, Dwarf and Lich are unlocked on to Nightmare (Type 2) @$30k then Cthulhu Cultists (Type 1) @$32.5k and a Cthulhu Deep One (type 2) @$35k

Well people asked for it so The Pony Pack is now available - 6 Ponies for $30 The set includes 3 Unicorns, 3 Ponys and 2 Pony Accessory #1 sets.
Extra packs can be bought or added to existing pledges for $30. The Unicorn dice are $3 each. The Pony Accessory pack #1 can be bought for $5 and contains a pair of wings with chest banner and 4 fire hooves



They are working on 2 more accessory packs for the ponies one will contain Bat wings, Tentacle mouth and tentacle tail for a Cthulhu pony and the other Fiery Wings and Fiery Tail

Heck no way

I think its about time to show some actual minis sculpts...

It's the least creative kickstarter I've seen so far.
Hopefully Hasbro takes a look and tramples them in to little pieces.

I find this all simultaneously disturbing, hilarious and a touch awesome.

I'm having those.

Relic knight fun, you get too anime-serious, I bring out the lime green & pink flying unicorn

I'm not familliar with little poney origins bit I assumed it was non-anime? Can anyone clarify this pony fixation and were it started?

Google My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic.
Then google Brony.

Prepare to be enlightened/ horrified.

So yeah My little pony is a american animation thing not anime in origins...

As for Brony To each its own but WTF?

^ Bronies are fans of the recent "Friendship is Magic" TV show, which is far more entertaining than anyone was ever expecting it to be. There aren't any episodes about shopping, the few rare episodes about fashion are some of the funniest, and my personal favourite episode features time travel and Cerberus escaping from the gates of hell.

Anyway, regardless of any opinions towards all that, this Kickstarter has just started getting a a ton of pony backers, right in the middle of the campaign, which is great since that's normally the painfully slow part of any Kickstarter.

We have a final z-brush render of the Pony/Unicorn with the wings flaming hooves addition, showing how you can customise your figure

(they hope to have more additions but can't guarantee any beyond those in the render so far

Final list I'm looking at looks like:

Eagle Wings
Fire Hooves
Flame Tail
Flame Wings
Farmer/Cowboy Hat
Tentacle Tail
Tentacle Mouth
Bat Wings)

And the most recent unlocks


Update #18 · Oct. 16, 2012 · 6 comments

Our KickStarter now welcomes a small herd of Bronies and we thank them for helping boost this KickStarter to reach 3 Stretch Goals over the last 3 days!

Stretch Goal #10

We unlocked these four TYPE I figures to be added for free to the CHAMPION, KINGMAKER, SUMMONER and LEGEND levels. (One Eyed Monster, Mummy, Dwarf and Lich). They can each be added to any other reward level for $5 each.



Stretch Goal #11

Stretch Goal #11 was then unlocked which brings to you a 60mm TYPE II Nightmare. This is one seriously kick-butt Horse and would go great with the Pony Pack as a leader, enemy or boss.



Stretch Goal #12

And then if 2 Stretch Goals was not enough we unlocked #12 as well which added two more TYPE I figurines to the KickStarter of the Cthulhu variety to add some tentacles to your dungeon! Available to everyone now for $5 each to any reward level. The first is the avatar of a powerful Old One...Yog Sothoth. Yog knows all and sees all. A tentacled beastie with many eyes sure to cause you to lose your sanity. The second is a devoted cultist of The Great Old One; capable of destroying your mind with ease.



But wait ... after those 7 figures ... we STILL have more that have been added. We set up our SUMMONER level so that backers could create their own custom figurines to add to the KickStarter. We have the concept art approved for all 4 of our current Summoners and you can now add any of these TYPE I figurines to any reward level for $5. We have a Fire Mage merged with a Fire Elemental, a Death Knight, a Praying Cleric and a Halfling Thief. All great figurines and we thank our Summoners for adding them to the KickStarter!




So what is up next?

We could not allow two small tentacles beasts visit your dungeon without also inviting the big 60mm TYPE II elder being himself!

Cthulhu Fhtagn! In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. We're waking him up and bringing him to you! This Type II miniature will be available once we hit $35,000. Combined with the figures from Stretch Goal #12, you can add some horror to your dungeon crawl.

I am suddenly excited about this Kickstarter. For some reason, I'm more interested in Pony Cthulhu than actual Cthulhu.

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for retail.

Well Cthulhu has been unlocked as has the Paladin (Type 1)



Next Up Stretch #15 - Bugbear (Type 2 - 60mm) @$40k



After that:

#16 Dire Wolf (Type 1) @$42.5k
#17 Shambling Moss Monster (Type 2) @$45k
#18 Medusa (Type 1) @$47.5k
#19 Large Dungeon Monster (undisclosed) (Type 2) @50k
#20 Halloween themed Undead Monster (Type 1) @$52.5k
#21 Large Undead Monster (Probably a Flesh Golem) (Type 2) @$55k

There is also a Half Orc Assassin and an Armoured female Anti Hero to be added from Summoner pledges.

The stone patterned 22mm and 46mm bases are finished and are off to have resin masters made. They will be available in both slotted and unslotted versions. Will be available to buy may be added as stretch goal #29 or #30.

The Clerics artwork has been coloured

I want that pony pack, but I admit I'm slightly scared off because there's no way in the nine circles of hell I can do the eyes justice.

Same applies to all of these miniatures really, you have to be able to get the eyes looking good!

Should be too hard, it's just like painting a gemstone really.

Gradient oval for the iris (the hardest part), and then a smaller black oval for the pupil and finish with a circle or 2 of white.

*makes the "over my head" motion*

Riiiiight, just as simple as painting a gem stone...
