I think Walrus have such a lot of fleshy upper lip that any bulges are hidden

Damn!

After reading that one complaint, I wondered if they actually might be 'off', but that pic clearly shows that they nailed it again!

Good times!

We do think about what we're doing! Well, sometimes.

Love the attention to detail on the Helm

Timoth is one dapper Thegn.

I received the last of my KS1 stuff today - The remaining Ysian's and Angrislaug. I have to say, they are some of the finest cast miniatures I have ever received. So well sculpted and cast!

Many thanks Mierce for having such awesome pieces made, they are fantastic!

I'm guessing that Fomoraic and Norse are up there at the top!

Get a poll going. Just for curiosity's sake.

You'd get more accurate results by kidnapping Tim or Rob and demanding answers.

I'm kinda bummed all of the campaign exclusive models (like Timoth) are only available once.

I kinda wish if you were getting the "all of the things" pledge you could up that to two of them....

From the latest update:

...and here's something no-one's yet seen, until now...

Galagaak, Enraged Tarvox

We already have Galagaak, Raging Tarvox:


I'm guessing that's just an alternate head and two alternate hands for the current Galagaak? As nice as that model is, I don't think I'd want another in an identical or near identical pose.

If Mierce is planning on making a slightly edited Tarvox from a current model, why not redo some pieces from Angalaak instead, to bring it up to the same standard as Galagaak?

I'm not sure what you mean there - you can purchase additional project exclusive miniatures?

That he wished if he would choose the "all the things" pledge he would be awarded with two freecopies of the exclusive miniatures (or at least that he would have the chance to buy a second one).

I interpret it as: You can buy additional ones, you just only get one free regardless of how many companion units you buy.

I think I misread this quote:

Additionally, he's a project exclusive; he will never, ever be released to the general public, although we do reserve the right to produce him for sale at shows and events.

Please note, the free Sweordsman Timoth is limited to one per backer.

Based on the previous comments, I'm assuming this means that I could get two Eoric's Pack, but would only get Timoth free once, instead of my initial reading that I can only get one Timoth?

Then probably it was my mistake. I was left with the impression that the project exclusive minis were limited to one per backer. For example in your third update you mention that: "Please note, the free Tonsured Caedoc is limited to one per backer". therefore I thought that a backer can acquire Tonsured Caedoc only once, either for free if he choosed the Loyal Guard strech goal or by purchasing him independently.

But apparently only the free one is limited. Further copies of the project exclusive mini can be purchased without any limitation.

That's the same way I read it, Corgan.

The free one is limited to one per backer. You can additionally buy as many as you'd like!

This

Crikey! I confess I thought I'd covered it - each exclusive miniature says:

"Please note, the free <exclusive miniature> is limited to one per backer."

I guess I should have put "You can purchase additional ones too!" afterward - I'll make sure I do that in future to cover any confusion.

Apologies to anybody who got confused!

Cheers

Since people keep asking questions about models that weren't in my last Mierce Scale post, I did another one last night on my blog. I apologize for lighting/picture quality and general silliness of the post, but it's hard to say, "This model is bigger than all this other stuff" over and over without it being repetitive.

Let me know what you guys think, and if there are other models you'd like to see compared!

Awesome, helpful and greatly appreciated - as always!

Thanks for doing this work, and for sharing it with us!

Do you have any other dragon, it would be pretty sweet to see how they compares with Angrislaug (for example the CMoN dragon or the Titan dragon of Confrontation).

sorry if this is obvious, I have tried to check but am still unclear. If I pledge on this kick starter can I
A) pledge for units / models from the previous kick starter?
B) is that at the kick starter price ?
C) can I add money in the manager for previous hosts or were they only valid when the last kick starter was running?
D) does all of my £100 pledge for the current kick starter have to be spent on models within the active kick starter or can I use some on existing models?

Also, are mierce planning on having any promos or exclusives from previous kickstarters at salute?

Cheers

A) Yes. You pay the same prices for the KS2 (the KS immediately prior to this one) as backers did. If you pledge at the Gold level then you will get 20% off existing 'at retail' items.
B) See above.
C) Hosts have already been removed from the store/pledge manager unfortunately.
D) No. Your pledge will become credit in a Kickstarter section of the Mierce store for you to spend at will. You will also be able to add more money later. However, only money pledged during the campaign will get the additional 10 per 100 pledged.

If you pledge for this KS you can spend you cash on

models from this KS (at the price listed)

models from KS2 (at the prices they were individually during that KS)

anything on current release (at 20% off MRSP if you've pledged at the £100 gold spot level)

(the bulk hosts from KS2 are not going to be available)

you can spend your pledge on whatever you want, new models, KS2 stuff or existing models

I don't think they've got any promos planned for Salute (not sure if any previous KS exclusives will be available)

I think "C" needs clarification. There are many deal on the KS 2 that look appealing to new backers (myself included). Are they available using funds from this KS 2.5? For instance, could I go Gold Pledge and get the Kthones Gorgonar Host from KS2?

E) Can I pledge via KS 2.5 and get the pledge from KS2? More specifically, can I pledge 150 now and get the KS2 "Sweet Spot?"

The KS2 hosts are definitely off the table

(and even KS2 backers can't add them any more we were given a deadline to pick them up if we wanted them and now they're gone from the Mierce website)

E)I don't think so (you'd need to check with Mierce to be 100% certain but I think I remember the question being asked but can't quite track it down)

Thanks for the quick responses and concise answers.

I'd love to be able to think E) was viable but I doubt it since they have made the book an additional extra, so no going back to previous book + pledges.

I'm gutted I missed KS2 proper due to RL issues. I would have been in for the book if not a skirmish host!

The Sweet Spot was, unfortunately again IMO, removed along with the hosts. I understand why, it's just unfortunate for me personally as I hadn't recovered the money to sort my KS2 pledge out properly when they were removed (with notice).

You would still, I believe, be able to pledge for mounted commanders and get their on foot version for free, for instance.
