There's a thread on BGG about painting Chibi eyes

http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/732434/painting-eyes

I bet if you don't want to paint the eyes there will be stickers for little girls with cute creatures you can cut and stick the eyes from

Art for two new type I figures unlocked by specific pledgers

Dire Wolf ($42.5k) and Shambling Moss Monster ($45k) Artwork

That shambling moss monster will also do double duty as an owl bear with a different paint job (& maybe a bigger beak)

Another mini has unlocked (Included for Impact's Tom so no stretch needed, Yay!)

presenting Red, a parody of a parody (& cute as a button)



Creator Impact! Miniatures 44 minutes ago

For those that don't get parody in a parody. This is a Chibi version of one of my favorite images of this character ... to me it sums up the typical gaming guy in a single work of art.

Parody #1 ... what serious female super warrior goes around in a chainmail bikini with that much hair to be grabbed. That was always the draw of the character in the first place. To me it was always a parody of a real female warrior and I have always loved that it was popular because of this.

Parody #2 (or the parody of the parody) ... the work of art I liked so much had her ready for battle carrying a shield, 2 handed battle axe, pole axe, long sword and short sword. Completely and utterly impratical if you think about it as she is carrying 10 times!!! more metal in the weapons than she is wearing. That and I'm not sure how you use 2 different two 2 handed weapons with a shield. And BECAUSE of this ... I have always love this art. It is what gaming to me at it most fun is about ... the complete suspension of reality just ot have some fun.

So thank you Chris for approving ... and thank you Lorraine for making her look so good.

Tom

I think these things are great, I wish we could use this with Super Dungeon Explorer.

I want alot of these, Especially the unicorn, the dice. and the angels
So how does kickstarter work? I pledge the money and what do i do for the strech goals?

Oh, i have no money, and the thing ends before i get my check, what do i do then?

The Succubus and Fallen Angel Artwork has also been added



Both available straight away for $5 - the Fallen Angel comes with all 3 arm sets during the KS only at retail you will only get 1 arm set.

For those waiting for the Pony accessories (I know groan but 78 backers have picked the Pony pack option) they are due tonight.

@hotsauceman pick the pledge level that best suits your requirements and pledge the appropriate amount (plus postage if relevant). If you want 1 of every mini unlocked plus 20 extra type 1 and 1 extra type 2 picks, T-Shirt, Tiles, Chests and Dice pick Kingmaker and pledge $250. If you want more than 1 of a mini type Boss Monster at $175 allows you to pick any 40 type 1s plus you get all of the type 2s. Overlord at $100 gets you any 19 type 1s plus you get all of the type 2s.

Payment is by Amazon Payment only and is taken as soon as the KS ends but if there are no funds they will try to charge your card for up to a week after that.

As in, nothing suits me.
Will they still be availabl for purchase on the site when the Kickstarter ends>

Yes Impact! are doing the KS to fund the production of the minis for their online store there is little profit in the KS for them as they have reinvested the money into the miniatures - Tom posted yesterday that as of $43,000 with the miniatures currently due to be produced they are actually making a loss of $350 this is why from stretch goal #18 they have to change to $5k stretches.

They will be available to buy once all of the KS orders have been fulfilled so probably May 2013. Type 1 minis will cost $6 to $8 retail and Type 2 $12 to $15.

Cool, they will make nice display pieces.

Shambling Mound unlocked ... Medusa up next!


Update #22 · Oct. 24, 2012 · 1 comment





With still over a week to go with the KickStarter we've not unlocked the Shambling Mound TYPE II. A 60mm moss monster that can also double as a treeman.

You can add him to any pledge level for $8.



Up next ... at $50000 we unlock Medusa for your Dungeon Adventures to try and defeat without becoming Chibi statues!



And we have many more items to announce that have happened over the last few days. When we added the KINGMAKER level there were 30 figurines in it .. and now it is up over 60 ... and it will only keep growing as we knock down pledge levels until we reach the end.

Holy hell, Why did I click this link? It is like Spyware is going to take another 250$ out of my bank account.

I can't find anything that states when the models will plan to materialize and ship... anyone know? I am just curious how long until i would get stuff in my grubby little hands.

Probably April 2013 if you want most of the stuff

(a few pledges still say Feb but this is no longer realistsic as so many sculpts have unlocked)

Impact have been doing well in fullfilling their previous KS so they should be reliable

The Pony Pack has now got better... you get 6 add on bits of your choice (used to be 4)

I'm curious...what are people going to be using these miniatures for?

Display pieces?

Counts As stuff for SDE?

Something else?

Fun painting bits & display pieces

And the ponies will show up in Relic Knights

(assuming Soda Pop ends up with a functional rule set, there are 'issues' with it at the moment)

That is my second question... SDE is fun, but is pretty complicated to just throw new minis into without rulecards. These are good for RPGing, but I would really like a good skirmish game to use with these types of figs. I am curious if a ruleset is coming also, or if anyone knows a good system to look into for those interested in buying the figs and using them.

One of the pledgers (Glenn) is putting together a dungeon crawl game using the minis,

he's making up stat cards etc and they're looking pretty good

his blog is linked below

Uh oh...

That might be enough to get me off the fence.

Must... resist...

Mine will predominantly be used to chibify my Heroquest set - they added the Questing Hero level for me when I mentioned that's what I intended on using them for (but I'm now in for Queen Mo level - 34 of my Type 1 picks make up the Heroquest set) but they will also get a run out in SDE and other games.

So they will be available for full purchase off the site sometime early net year?
Will all the models on the kickstarter be made available?

Oh yes I'm getting that Red. I have no real use for this minis, but I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

Yes everything (so far) will be in Impacts store once the KS plegders get theirs

the only difference is that the Fallen Angel wil only come with a single arm option included (you'll specify what you want, whereas you'll get all 3 with the KS version so you can choose which to use and have a few bits spare

Even the Dice?

That is such a good question I've PMed Impact to see what they say

I don't remember the question coming up before about dice, only minis (where the answer was yes, all will be available,

so I'll report back when I have an answer

Well that was quick

"Impact! Miniatures says:

Wish I could give you a definite....But maybe? We will have to see what we have left over after all the orders are filled. Best to get them now."

so there you go, grab them now if you want them (remember $3 for an individual dice if you only want one)

Any idea what these guys may be at retail? Trying to figure how big a savings "buy now @ 5$" vs "buy bulk" vs "buy retail"

Also, I am not sure the pledges and the 'what do I need to get one of everything' match... so I am not sure which is the best deal.

It appears like Kingmaker is everything + 20 dudes and swag, where Queen Mo is everything + 29 dudes... which seems like a slightly worse deal as you are getting 9 dudes but less swag for a 25$ increase.

I think I want to support this but I want to figure out the best package.

thanks! All kick starters should have such a tool!

I think I will be in for the boss package where I can get at least one of every model... I can't tell if it is bad luck or good luck two SDE expansions are coming out right this second! :(

I just got the 80s DnD show homage... I knew they looked familiar.

Seems like there would always be a market for dice as long as there will be gaming bronies.
