Generally my costs were slightly higher than they have on their page, but half as much as metal minis would cost me. Or maybe the page is just listing prices in pounds or euros and I missed it, but not a huge difference. For you though since you are making your own minis it might be cheaper to stick to that?

I think that one of the winning points are that the casts are all done in a single piece. Not everyone who plays games ejoy the cleaning and assembling part, and for them, this is just perfect.

“Yes little child; there are monsters in this world. And they're afraid of me!” - JW Clarkson

It was while working on laying the railtrack that runs into Blackwater Gulch that JW Clarkson first learned about the monstrous creatures of the night. Having finished for the day, John Williams Clarkson and the rest of his engineering gang returned to their camp for the nights meal and a well earned bottle or two of Bower moonshine.

Fed and rested, they turned in, each drifting off to sleep tired from the day's labours, all except Clarkson and his foreman Colin Buchanan. Unease filled each man and silently they gathered their weapons: Clarkson took his axe, used for clearing down trees, while Buchanan brought his railroad hammer. No sooner had they stepped from the light of the dying fire into the shadows, the creatures attacked.

Huge, monstrous beasts fell on the sleeping railroad workers, ripping at flesh with razor-like claws; tearing at bone with giant teeth. It happened in seconds, but time slowed for Clarkson that he saw every detail, committing to memory the monsters that massacred his men. Buchanan started to step forward, desperate to help those he had once called friend, but Clarkson held him back, knowing only too well that to try to fight these beasts on their terms was certain death.

Instead, they waited for the creatures to finish feasting, then tracked them for three days back to their lair, and while the creatures slept, the two men slaughtered them with axe and hammer. They stepped out of the cave, covered in blood and so began their new careers as monster hunters.

To their side came Ruthie Mae, daughter of the preacher at Blackwater Chapel, intrigued by these two men who stumbled into the small church one night, seeking the water from the font. She joined them in an instant, keen to learn what they knew of these beasts, having witnessed first hand their evil when they slaughtered her father. She travels with the Unsung, blessing their weapons against these evil creatures.

Janey Bower, famous moonshiner and all round rogue, was discovered in the woods, half mad but intent on killing the demons that savaged her best customer. Her moonshining skills were turned to creating firewater, a deadly weapon that cleanses dens of beasts.

Finally Van Dyke, a bounty hunter, caught up with Clarkson and his gang, intent on claiming the bounty put on the gang boss' head by the railroad company. It was their belief that Clarkson massacred the railroad workers, but within an hour of catching up to the Unsung, Van Dyke saw the true beast that wandered in the shadows, and signed on.

As promised, here is a photo if the first batch of production miniatures for the Unsung!

As you can see, the miniatures are all 1 piece! Even Van Dyke running with his Rifle and J. W. Clarkson swinging his axe. In metal they would have had to be 2 or 3 pieces, not to mention the bases. I'm still amazed whenever I see them.

I've also decided to splurge a little and I asked Krisztian to start the sculpt for Ashton Campbell. He's one character I really would love to add to the game, so I'm hoping that seeing the final sculpt will help entice more folks to jump in and get him unlocked I will share that when I get pictures, it will probably take a week or so.

I think we're in a good place and are at exactly 75% funded now, and climbing. Please share with all of your friends

No, not achieved yet it's inching upwards though. Since I was able to get a bunch of regular web sales recently (just like the last campaign) I was able to fund the new sculpts for Ashton Campbell and Mr. Kreeper, so we tweaked the stretch goals a bit and unlocked these extra minis.

But we're in the mid-campaign part now so it's gonna be slow. We've still been bringing in a anywhere from 5-10 new backers every day, but around the same amount are dropping out, so we've been stuck in the same spot for the last few days. Would have funded by now for sure if they stuck around, but that's Kickstarter for ya Still have over 2 weeks to go though, so plenty of time to keep moving and plenty of new stuff to show off as we go.

We are going to start posting regular updates now, at least 1 per day, each one focusing on a new character with their history and and also special abilities. I'll also be posting my own little video review of the new Unsung miniatures as soon as I get my samples. And hopefully I can at least get 3D prints of The Wicked & Wormwood Wardens done before the campaign ends, but 3D prints take a while. And when I get the art finished I'll be revealing some bonus campaign exclusive loot cards too

Howdy Pardners!

Well the campaign is halfway over now, 2 weeks in and 2 weeks to go! We've gotten real far in just these 2 weeks, and now I have a big update for you.

First, we have the final version of the sculpt for Ashton Campbell. Here he is, I really love the extra base details Click here to enlarge.



I just received my sample copies of the Unsung miniatures. I'm really impressed with the details and the fact that they're all 1 piece. Photos just don't do them justice. I tried to make a video to zoom in and show the details, but it didn't come out too good. I'll try again, maybe with some better lighting. In the meantime, here is a photo of them with some other miniatures and a ruler so you can see how big they are. I also love how the bases on the miniatures fit perfectly into the tops of our standard 30mm bases. Click here to enlarge.



Last but not least, after checking our stock levels it looks like we only have around 7 copies of the metal Tranquility Crew miniatures in stock. I was planning to order more, but I decided it would be better off to have them updated to plastic along with these 3 new gangs since they are one of our biggest sellers. However, since they were sculpted with greenstuff, they won't work as Unicast miniatures because they will all have to be 3D. So, they will need to be resculpted too.

So, now you will be able to add The Tranquility Crew to your pledge if you want them, or in the pledge manager at the end. Like the other new gangs, they will cost $25, or $20 for Gunslingers. They can be an add-on item and you can just increase your pledge amount to cover them, or you may select them as one of the 3 gangs for a Gunslinger pledge.

That's all for today! Thank you all for your support! Keep sharing
