Wow...

300 Backers - Alix of Carn Bran

We've just about smashed up the Angleycnn Ceorl so it's time to move that total on with something very cool indeed for you all... Alix of Carn Bran, an Ysian Beast-Master and Sell-Sword that also gives you a free monster when you purchase her!

Alix of Carn Bran is an Ysian Beast-Master of dark renown, a beauty with the beast - for she is never seen without a monstrous creature alongside her, a beast that bends to her will and acts both as protector and enforcer.

Sell-Sword

Alix is a sell-sword and will work for any kindred, and she can bring a monster of any kindred to battle with her, although that monster must be included within her command and so it would be a sell-sword like her. Bear in mind that allied contingents are limited to a third of the gold size of your host, so if your host is 2,000 gold strong you have 666 gold to spend on Alix and her monster.

FREE MONSTER!

To that end, if you purchase Alix during this project - and if we get to 300 backers - you will also gain yourself a free monstrous beast, chosen from the graphic below!

The free monster you can choose is dependent upon your pledge level. If you have pledged £300 here, you can choose one free monster of the number 5 - such as Mjagnir - or any one monster of a lower number. You cannot choose monsters of a higher number than that allowed by your pledge level.

Note that this offer is limited to what you can pledge on this project, here and now, so even if you pledge £100 here and £200 afterwards you will only be entitled to a monster of a number equal to the £100 pledge level.

How do I get my free monster?

All you need do is purchase the Alix of Carn Bran item from the Mierce Miniatures webstore after the project ends, and let us know which free monster you require in the "special instructions" box when you go through the basket.

Free Monster offer is "One per Backer" and limited to this project

The free monster offer is limited to one per backer; you cannot purchase multiple Alix of Carn Bran and gain multiple free monsters. You can still purchase more than one Alix if you wish, but you'll only get one free monster!

Alix uses living monsters only

In game terms, whilst Alix can only use living monsters within her command, constructs such as the Atalantes' Talos and the Albainn Goghu are included if you fancy those as your free monster.

**Wehrkind**

Wow... that's pretty tempting. Is she one per pledge, or can we order like 5 of her with 5 free monsters?

You can only get 1 free monster per pledge, but I imagine you can order multiples of the sellsword.

**decker_cky**

70 more backers, and you need to be in for at least 100 to get a free monster. That'd boost us up to at least 37,000 if we reach it (likely higher).

**RoninXiC**

“Torku“ so amazing. I just hope we'll get another 70 backers.

**GiraffeX**

I'd say there are a lot of backers on £10 that would increase when we hit 300 backers as well.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Mug your friends,

point out that they can jump in for only £10 (which will get them access to the pledge manager),

and then up to a 'full sized' pledge if we hit the 300 backer target for the option to buy the sell sword and get the free monster (as long as they increase their pledge before the end of the project)

**Alpharius**

Ouch!

Didn't expect it to be tied to backers too!

300... 68 more in 3 days?

I hope that bridge isn't too far!

**Azreal13**

Card? Fixed.

Pledge? Made.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Excellent news, one closer to monster madness

**Zond**

I wish the monster deal extended post Kickstarter, I would easily go to £500. Mierce always find a way to launch a kickstarter that ends at the most awkward time for me

Also really liking Judas. Tempts me out of my Britain only preferences.

**Alpharius**

I'm more concerned that if we're not at or near that '300 backer' goal by the last day that we could see some serious backsliding on that pledge total.

I can understand *why* Mierce set it at 300, but I wish it was more like 275...or 250!

I'm not sure I'll be staying in at the full amount I've got in there now if that '300 backer' goal isn't reached.

I'll certainly still be in - but possibly not for as much now - though inevitably for much more later, in the PM!

**RoninXiC**

Yeah, 300 is going to be tought..

**tre manor**

never mind.

**GiraffeX**

I would pledge a lot more if it wasn't for the 300 backer limit to get Alix and my free monster.

**Mierce Miniatures**

Have patience guys - we'll get there, there's two days to go yet. It's the weekend, weekends are always dead. That total and backer total will start moving tomorrow afternoon.

**RoninXiC**

Yeah.. I need my Ysian monsters.. I NEEEEEED THEM.

**zedmeister**

Ballista!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

We've already got 23 of the 70 backers to the 300 backer goal, and that's over the weekend which is normally pretty dead,

so with 2 days to go I think we'll be ok

**Alpharius**

I think you're right Orlando - at least I hope you are!

A 'free' Mierce Darklands Monster should be enough to get us over the 300 Backer hump in two days...

**MLaw**

I'm throwing in for a pound. I can't afford to back this but if my 1.50 helps get you guys a free monster I'll toss it in. Enjoy

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Darklands salutes you!

Exalted!

**Alpharius**

Exactly - every little bit helps - thanks!

**zedmeister**

Getting closer. We're £101 away from the £35k (and the Norse host) and are currently taking a vote in the comments for the next stretch goal to appear after the £40k Érainn goal. Also, we're 37 backers away from the 300 backer free monster goal...

**Baragash**

Pimped it on Mantic and Warseer forums.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I've finally managed to get it onto Beasts of War's forum tpp

Also

Norse Holumann host has just unlocked (£35,000), voting on KS comments on a new stretch kindred

**ulgurstasta**

Seems like Gorgórar with Bows will be the backer-pick. I´m happy it´s a khthones unit, but I cant stand reptiles with boobs

**zedmeister**

Small stretch goal up:

**JWBS**

Why's beastmaster Alix £15 metal when other metal characters are £6?
