I know i have been trying to keep this firmly under wraps btu i think ti might be worth while to make sure that I am on the right track with this by posting a bit of a sneak peek into the direction I am traveling.

Below is the first of one of the human faction's grunt figures. This guy is intentionally simple because I plan to engineer some cross compatible modularity into as many of the figures as possible.

Also I have pictured the very beginning stages of one of the game's big beastie creatures. This thing will be the mount for a faction champion. It is for a different faction than the grunt pictured here but I felt it would be handy to give a bit of breadth to the concept so you might be able to better picture where I am going with it.

Anyway I hope you guys like where this is going but please tell me if you think this is a waste of time.

Alright y'all. HEre is a small peek at two of the nine. These will have hand weapons and shields. The equipment will be suitably worn. The weapons will probably be some sort of short swords and the shields will be round shields of some kind of metal sheet so not very big. These will represent the most basic form of melee grunts. I am hoping as this effort develops to have the opportunity to follow a few other ideas I have for various types of undead, but for the beginning this is the offering.

There will be nine of these " grunts " ( never fear I have a better term for them int he rules and fiction ) in the starter set along with a pair of living cultist acolytes and a somewhat more vital undead warrior hero and a controlling NEcromancer. The undead in this game are going to be FAR more powerful of an enemy than what is typically seen in gaming and fiction in general. Undead always terrified me as a kid because I wondered how you can kill something that is already dead. The undead of contemporary fiction have definitely lost that kind of ominence. I want the undead fo this world setting to bring that back in spades.

Ok Y'all, here are the new preview pics...... I am not sure I am 100 % sold on the lizardman design. It is still a little too anthropomorphic for what I was aiming for...BUT this would be one of the lesser lizardman warrior minions. This kit would be part at the top of the neck and at the waist and at the left elbow IF I go modular. There would be 2 options each for legs, torso, head, shield, and weapon at least to start out with.

Then there is the Beta Mutant warrior. This kit would part at the top of the neck and at the waist. There would be 3 options for legs and torsos and four options for heads and weapons as at least one of the torsos would have a two necks. These guys are going to define bizarre. The entire faction will as a matter of fact. This head option has one eye, there will be another option with three eyes, and another with four eyes, and another with two. This torso has three arms, there will others with four, or just two, or three with one on the opposite side. Their skin textures will each be unique as well.

That may be going out on the limb a bit too far but the hell with it, I want to create an opportunity for artists to really just go berserk and truly be creative. That is really the overall driving ethic behind the design of the project as a whole. I really want people to feel encouraged to write their own visual stories in this game / world. I want to see artists REALLY being artists free from the constraints of " painting by the numbers " so-to-speak......That really comes across wrong...... what I mean is to say that I do not want to confine artists to the standards of the " real world". I want people to feel absolutely free to paint the skin of their barbarians Purple with green hair if they want. Freedom to be freaky and have FUN with their creations.

anyway these are the candidates for the third faction in the first KS. It may be that both fo them get included btu I am goign to concetrate my efforts on one or the other first and once that one is done, if the funding allows the opportunity then the other will be included.

Ok here they are..........

Time for another preview??

This is the first of the greater Undead Warriors. These are Undead whose spirits are more tightly bound to their mummified remains and generally act as the personal guard of the Liche Priest hood or High ranking cultists. They are smarter and stronger and more co-ordinated than the lesser undead. They are not totally autonomous but they also do not need the same level of management by the necromancer or the closer proximity to the animating necromancer either.

I have plans to make 3 or 4 of these and then a cultist hero to lead them in battle.
