I know people dislike the dragon, but from a realistic gaming perspective, that is a super convenient model. His pose and the nature of the material being one piece means I can probably take that model anywhere with barley the effort and packing of any tank and plop it down on a table.

Reaper (and other companies) make impressive dragons... and they look great. On the shelf. Or the gaming table which is walking distance of said shelf.

I wonder what that dragon will be retail? (or is it an exclusive?)

It's not an exclusive, but no idea of a retail price - in DS terms it will be in a boxed expansion which was $25 in the KS, but the mini is also doubling as the dragon mount for a bunch of KoW leaders, so it will be available there with each rider for retail.

Maybe $20-25 for dragon plus rider and saddle? It's about the same amount of material and labor as the Reaper dragons of the same price.

Dragon was $25 in both DS and KoW projects. It should be higher for retail.

I think 30$-35$ is totally reasonable... It is clear of a sculpt designed for the material which is a failing of lots of other dragons.

Transportable and durable is a good mix with models with wings.

I like the dragon for those reasons, and I am happy that I have one coming to me with my pledge, don't get me wrong. I would just prefer a less chubby dragon with the same properties.

Same way I like Mantic Trolls in theory, but the small legs annoy me.

the Bard is a pretty good resemblance

Now annoyed that I didn't add to the KoW pledge manager when I had the opportunity..

It's literally the only thing I have pledged for. Because I was destitute, and it amused me so very very much by name alone.

Edit: The Dragon was $15 if you bought it without the attached expansion. I don't know what that translates into later.

Very True. A dragon that can easily rank up alongside other units is what you want for tabletop gaming. In all the various KS's I've been a part of I've had lots of chances to buy cheap dragons, often impressively sculpted. However, the only Dragon I've bothered to paint until now is a Safari brand paint-and-play dragon. Partly because I like the old-school look, but mainly because it's a convenient size and has swept back wings (to fit in the toy-style packaging I assume) so it doesn't interfere with other figs on the tabletop.

Some better DKH production mini pictures:

Wait, where was the Bard on the pledge manager? I was under the impression it was park of the $100 pledge

EDIT

Also, liking to look of those production minis, can't wait for this to get released. Just hope it's on time!

He was available separately for a few dollars.
My pledge was tagged onto the OH's but that was only for a dinosaur, certainly not $100...

Ronnie the Bard is included with $100 pledges, and up, iirc.

He was in $100+ pledges and also as an add on.

Yeah I didn't see him on the Pledge manager, and I bought all the available minis. Think the only things I didn't go for were the KOW addons.

I remember him being included

Ahh cheers Alex

Abyssals

I like the succubi alot.

The Molochs and Succubi look good to me, but I just cannot get over the Grinch faces of the lesser Abyssals. They just look daft.

I love the rear Succubi with that massive wrist blade, that looks brutal.

Awesome stuff!

And the iffret from bow

Are all these going to be plastic or are they restic?

I don't love them but I might pick up quite a few when they re-open the pledge manager again.

Ifrits, Molochs, and champions are in metal at the moment.

Succubi and Lesser types are all plastic kits.

The first 3 are polystyrene/HIPs, the Molochs are metal

wow I was slow

Molochs could have been fantastic if they didn't have stumpy legs!

Hm, a bit sorry I didn't order any Molochs, they're really good... but I'm too old to carry around ogre-sized metals.

I like the stumpy leg Molochs. It makes them different than other ogre type models.

The Succubi might be nice models, but that colour scheme doesn't sell them to be. The rest of the Abyssals look great though.

Here's a quick recolour.

Are they going to re-open the pledge manager for either dungeon saga or KOW2?
There are a few bits for each I'd go for now we have seen the sculpts.

Do they make those in size 12?

I, uh, ask for a friend. A platonic friend.

I asked Dave Symonds and he wasn't sure. He will presumably get back to me.
