Some really nice looking orcs, goblins, trolls and other creatures in this one. Less expensive than GW and in my opinion a less cartoon-like appearance.

That bird has fists! Hah! Love it.

Yeah folks have been referring to it in the comments as an oviraptor.

Hmm, curious to see how the actual prints will look like!

Prints will be the make-or-break, for sure, but those are some very promising sculpts! Best of luck!

Sculpts aren't bad, but goblins look like actors wearing costumes in some 80s fantasy film.

Here are some of the freebies unlocked so far:

While the sculpts are nice and dandy, some of the Orcs remind me an awful lot of Warcraft.

Interesting!

I'd like to see a bit more texture on some of the skin but I like it all so far!

Here is an image they posted with the scale of some of the figures:



And here is a link to it on Imgur that can be magnified:

Here are the two latest add ons that have been unlocked:

Those are considerably more expensive than GW mini for mini, $29 for 10 GW orcs vs $63 for 10 of these.

Well GW orcs are awful heroic scale fists the size of their heads and done in plastic, these why'll not particularly a style I like have way more detail and are in resin. So I would argue their prices are right around the right spot to be honest. You pay a little over double but you get a much better miniature in terms of detail and quality.

These remind me a lot of WoW...

To be honest I am in the KS for the trolls and other big creatures, which are less than the GW LOTR trolls and comparable in price to GW's god awful fantasy trolls (for the similarly sized ones). The Ettin and not yet unlocked Giant are less than GW's giant and IMO way nicer.

The Giant has just been unlocked and the Yeti (now named 'Brian') is the next stretch goal.

There is also going to be an 'early' backer kickstarter freebie, but the date on which this closes to later backers has not yet been announced. It seems likely at this early stage that all the stretch goals will be realised by the end.

As for price I cannot argue that the GW orcs are cheaper - but IMO they look cheaper as well. The larger models are I think cheaper and definitely a vast improvement on GW figures. (My opinion only, but to me GW orcs and goblins look like they could have come out of a 1950's comic book.)

Here is the giant as he currently is but they are planning some changes. Quote from them; "This guy is still a very early block out and needs a lot of refinement and some more fabric. We've had a mixture of responses on his general mass and have decided to widen his frame and tone down the athletic appeal slightly. That being said there will still be a clear separation in body type between the Giant and the Ettin!"

Brian the Yeti (named after Brian Blessed) has been unlocked.



Next stretch goal is the Goblin Adventurer.



Edit: It has just been confirmed that the following feedback from backers that the 'Goblin Adventurer' sculpt is to be changed. The skull on the waist is being removed and replaced by some pouches, a small sheathed knife, and a grappling hook (attached to the rope) and that a small round shield will be added (probably to the left arm).

Here are some of the mounted figures:

The Goblin Adventurer is unlocked.

Next stretch goal is a (young) Wyvern.

There are just a few various 'Early Bird' pledges still available.

Finalised Goblin Adventurer has been unveiled. (Several suggestions were made and the sculpt altered accordingly.)



An update picture of the adolescent Wyvern (still a work in progress) has also been released



Now only £235 away from unlocking the adolescent Wyvern.

They have added a new Kickstarter Exclusive freebie to those that pledge before the 20th.

The Wyvern is now unlocked!



Next up are the 'War Dogs' (picture is just the basic sculpt at the moment, work is still being carried out on them)

With the war dogs and especially BRIAN! you have my attention...

But there needs to be a BRIAN! variant shouting... I mean SHOUTING!!!!

Latest update has rough work on an improved 'Orc Handler and Hyenas'

Here is the rough version of the first of the three forest trolls that were just unlocked as well as an update size comparison:

Here is the latest freebie (still a WIP):



Loosely based on the scene from Platoon:

Nice looking stuff!

Kickstarter is now in its final 48 hours. Here are some early images of the next few stretch goals:

Orc Bull Hybrid and Goblin Centaur are now unlocked. Also two new mega pledge levels added.
