Bolognesus,

Send me an e-mail (kickstarter at mierce - miniatures dot com) with your name and order numbers and I'll get something out to you this week, even if it's not all of it.

I genuinely believe you'll kick yourself if you don't get in on the current Kickstarter!

How does that sound?

Cheers

Sounds good, email sent I'm in for the book and mini deal atm already so not entirely missing out in any case

I like the teulu so much. There goes another couple hours work :-)

Mierce Militia!

Definitely echo the sheer quality and detail of these sculpts. Have only painted a few but they are a joy to paint. As always it comes down to what you value in your hobby. If anything, I'd say just take a punt and get one or two of them just to see the quality for yourself. When you have something like Penda, Maagaan or any of the others in your hand, you will want to paint it and get more!

Right... Gomagg...



He is an Albainn Giant, and will be 160mm to the eye, on a 120mm base. A lot bigger than Mjagnir, taller than Krull's wings. A proper Giant, but still useable in the game!

Holy balls, 160mm to the eye? He's going to be huge.

Interesting turn of phrase there - especially given some of the sculpts and their attention to anatomy!

My humor is much more highbrow. I would never go for such low hanging fruit.

and again with the mods being the ones going most off-topic...
Gotta give it to Mierce's CS though - they're pretty damn quick in taking care of customers Well, looks as if I'll be getting some goodies on this KS, in all likelihood.

Hmm, more and more humanoids...which is good I guess, otherwise I'd be more broke then I am now.

So far only some of the monstrous commanders are grabbing my attention...

Mind you, I've not received half of my KS1 minis yet, so I'll be in good supply for bare resin for the foreseeable future.

You've put an idea into my head Alpharius...!

Cruz is a beast.
Awesome thing is that we know the mini will be just as awesome.

Gesith? What kindred is that?

Angelcynn.

Oh balls. I've not bought into them. Dammit. I can't do more than 2 factions. I mean, I want to, but I can't.

Grrrrrr. :-)

That Cruz artwork is something else.

Dude knows how to make some manly looking men.

What 2 are you in for...for now?

I've got Norse and Brythoiad....for now. I actually have a few Anglycnn pieces (the two checks and creoda) and Kraan on the bear. I waffled about Anglycnn quite a bit, but didn't end up getting them mostly because I'm waiting for the Eirann.

Incoming concepts!

Gesíth (Penda's hearthguard)











Broga, a wear-boar



Finally some new encounter hosts:

Hearthguard concept art, my wallet trembles

Yeah. Those hearth guard are slick.

@Fenriswulf - you are righter than you know. The Giant Barbarians, the Sons of Ogmios, I can unashamedly say that they've all influenced the Oghurithne and the Albainn.

Bagseg is an example of how the Oghurithne will look, but we'd have to get a fair bit of cash - over £200k in this Kickstarter - to get the Oghurithne unit done. So get pledging, everyone ;o)

Cheers

Oh dear lord... I want this to hit the level that you can make them at! They are just too damn awesome to not be made! I can imagine how awesome and stompy they are in my minds eye...

I don't know if we'll make it though. Would be a shame if we didn't. No amount of pretty-pleases will get them made sooner I am guessing?

Cheers Mierce, good news in any case!

I so want the Vikings and the Gesith are awesome beyond measure. Hope we reach them. I plan to dual purpose all the infantry and attempt to use it for SAGA as well. They are simply some very nice minis. My heart smiles but my wallet cringes a little. My wife shops in The Buckle, this is like The Buckle of miniatures.

Other rampant speculation:

Khthones and Albiann monstrous commander options are oddly missing from the goals above…

Wish these guys were getting more exposure!

So hawt. My only wish is that their webpage took paypal. My debit card got frozen this morning after a rather large order was placed yesterday. Heh. Wonderful surprise this morning as I was stopping to get gas :-)

I haven't been this excited for a Kickstarter since Kingdom Death, and I haven't been this excited to get some miniatures and start painting and gaming with them since back in Rackham's glory days!

I'm sorry I missed out on KS1, but cincy helped me out there...

What is amazing to me on this one is that, right now, the average per backer is £190!

That is pretty impressive!

That's about what I think I'll be in for too, at a minimum!

I really like that Norse Skirmish Host, but I'm starting to wish that you could swap some things out as I'm not a hug fan of the Blood Maw mini.

And a different 'problem' on the rumored Fomoraic Encounter host is that I already have Brunchaath!

Does Mierce allow some switching out in the Host bundles?

Either way, I can see myself spending a LOT of money on this one.

One quick clarification question - would I have to add in a total of £20 or £30 to get everything shipped to me here in the USA as soon as it is available?

Anyway...I am really excited to get all of this stuff and get to gaming!

I would like that too, as I've found an issue with their site and the 3D verification for my card when using Chrome for IOS (strangely, switching to Safari solved it, but was annoying for a bit)

It might be just a conscious effort not to get gouged by PayPal, or, dare I say, given where they came from, that they aren't the best of friends any more?
