These look like the perfect replacement for all those Bretonnian peasants I never got around to getting.

The archer sprue looks perfect, the command sprue looks almost perfect, but I wish there was also some fancy heads in between the pouches.

Looking good to me. I could use some Bret peasants and Feudal world guard - hope to see them on retail at some point.

Bowman made from the test sprue mold lines need refining I'm sure they'll sort them out.

I don't see a problem with the mold lines.

Neither do I they are perfectly crisp and clear. but seriously they are on non-detailed areas so would be easy to remove without having to resort to greenstuff or loosing details.

They're also fairly minimal. They only look so obvious in that pic because the model is blown up to 5 times its actual size.

This loks fine for a production model to me.

So the extra plastic frame I get is just that...a single frame. So if I wanted cavalry I have the option of the horse sprue or the rider sprue. Not 3 whole models

Haha. Guess I read that wrong.

Yep 1 frame, cavalry come on 2 frames you're better off using it to round up infantry I'm getting 3 boxes of Zombies (54) plus the extra frame of 6 rounds them up nicely to 60.

PM is out but there's a few issues being reported.

The Folk Rabble adds €8 supplement per box for later shipping which makes them €24 each more than the €20 MSRP quoted and makes them a better buy at retail. I've asked if the shipping supplement can be adjusted to account for multiple purchases and FF said they'd look into it. Failing that I'll just pick more from the current 6 boxes and get the Rabble online later. Otherwise shipping is close to estimates.

Agreed. Since I'm only using this for skirmish RPG it isn't a big deal any way. Probably just go for a frame of Archers and use their box slot for something else.

Question. Do the stretch goals cost extra shipping and can I opt out of them? They don't really appeal to me and the pledge manager is confusing me.

You can't opt out of the stretch goals they are a permanent part of your pledge and are locked. I guess they listed them all separately in the summary so you can see exactly what you get. Your pledge total includes an additional credit which exactly covers the cost of all the stretch goals and can't otherwise be allocated.

On their own they are €9 in shipping (Europe) Each box you add then adds €1 in shipping. I guess even if you somehow could opt out there would still be a minimum shipping cost and you wouldn't really save anything.

Mine comes to €17 €9 base plus 8 boxes at €8 the EB pledge estimate was €15 for Europe so €17 is close enough.

PM is disabled now while they fix a few things.

Completed my pledge manager. They have to manually add the rewards if you do a double pledge. I did 2X Early bird. My shipping came out to 45 Euros to the US.

1 Early bird was estimated at 21 Euro so, the 2 add 45 is about what I was expecting.

Kinda peeved that shipping literally doubled from what was estimated for my location, from 7€ to 14€ for 4 boxes, so I'm definitely paying more than retail from Wayland or the like.

This update was a couple days ago. This is the Folk Rabble content. You get 3X this in a folk rabble box.

That looks like the best kit since the old empire militia. I better go check if I can still preorder...

That's a great looking kit. I'll wait for retail.

This was the kit I was most interested in for sure. I decided to wait as well, I selected things that I think will be ready to go soon(ish). Folk rabble will be a while...

I LIKE. These would make a fantastic basis for some Feudal World Imperial Guard! Add some Cadian Lasgun arms or some from Anvil Industry et voila! I'll take 8 Boxes pls lol

More progress Zombie sprue is done (4 of 6 done) and packaging for the 6 initial units is in printing

Undead Cavalry sprue from Salute



Some images from Fistyglueman's twitter nothing new but they are based now.

Today's update. Shipping starts tomorrow.

WE ARE SHIPPING

Finally we are starting to ship the first products. Tomorrow, some of you will receive an email from our shipping company with the tracking for their parcel.

This shipping phase will take time. We are still waiting for the printing of some products by factories from different EU countries (like for example the living dead warriors, still not ready).

We will then start sending stuff to who backed for northmen range (and just some living dead) and as soon as we will receive the missing items we are waiting for (like the rulebooks, the cartoon boxes and tokes for the starter set etc) we will send the stuff also to the others.

Naturally, there will not be an official release in stores until the end of shipments but we will start to taking pre-orders of some of the new stuff on our webstore (not at the price taken on the kickstarter and that will not be shipped until the official release in stores as usual policy for our company).

We will be happy to read your opinions when the first of you will receive their models to understand if you are happy of our work with these figures.

We worked really hard to start shippings within may as announced and we are really satisfied that at the end we did it! 2 projects launched, 2 projects founded, 2 projects shipped following the estimate date announced fixing any iussues in few time.

Obviously, we will be here to help in any case, and we will continue to answer your emails. If you sent us an email in the past 2 weeks and you still haven't received an answer, don't worry we will read that email in following days. If you sent an email during the past months and you never got an answer, please send this mail again to info@fireforge-games.com to avoid any mistake

Thanks for your patience and support

I was a late pledge on this, but so excited to get in on this. I think these will be excellent kits from all the sneak peaks. I went in for the Northmen and the Undead warriors.

I've a box of Living Dead warriors in my order but no other printed material I'd take them without the box but I guess I'll be waiting a bit.

They also posted this on Facebook a new character for the Albion Faction
https://fireforge-games.com/albion-50

Wip on the first character incoming for Albion #forgottenworldwargame #paintingfigures #fireforgeminiatures #wargaming #tabletopgames

Lucky for me Albion is not scaled the same as the Forgotten World stuff otherwise I would have avoided the Kickstarter.

There is so much I dislike about the standing model.

Shipping Update

"Hello Backers, DON'T PANIC! (you will excuse us for quoting Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy )

we are working to ensure that shipments proceed as quickly as possible, avoiding any sort of error or mistake in the assembly of your orders.

As far as possible, we are trying to send the goods to the first backers in order of time they participated in our campaign.

In the following photos you can see the preparation of the packages containing the requested material, when still open and finally closed and ready to be labeled after the last check carried out to be sure that all the requested goods were inside the right package.





Fireforge Games is a small company. We are not using external companies for the creation and packaging of goods (as do many other companies larger than ours), this because we want to be sure that the work is done like we want and that in case of errors the responsibility is only ours . We are guilty of a communication not like other kickstarters, we do not use external (as often happens) to constantly follow the project and respond promptly to all your comments, but we are always here and as soon as possible we respond to comments, emails, messages via social media and more. However, our priority will always be to process the orders received as quickly as possible, sacrificing timely communication even if this could annoy someone.

We are proud of the fact that compared to other campaigns by other companies, for the second time our company has kept its word, starting to ship the goods in the scheduled times. It was not at all easy, many things did not go as planned but further efforts by our team allowed this success.

This phase is extremely delicate. Many things can go wrong, many backers constantly require changes to their orders and we do our best to satisfy them hoping that the package in question has not already been entrusted to a courier. The fact that there were only 2 acknowledgments of receipt (not 1 as mentioned by some in the comments) does not mean that others have not received their own goods. Many backersstop following the kickstarter once they have received their order and do not share their experience.

Your patience (and your confidence) will be well rewarded: making miniatures is our job and our passion "



I have not received a shipping notice yet. DaveC was backer one, and I was backer three, but the resin shields we chose have caused a slight delay, Fireforge said that mine should ship next week, so here is hoping.

Definitely anxious to see some of these kits hit retail. Looking forward to them.

Their webstore lists August for retail release.

Yeah my order is held up by the 4 packs of wolf shields I threw in at the last minute - I blame GoT.

Yeah, mine were bear shields... I also blame GoT and the lady of Bear Island.

Definitely going to need some revolting peasants!
