Because she's being commissioned for this projects specifically so that needs to be paid for, art & sculpting & moulding/casting for both resin and metal version

the other individual human sized minis are already sculpted and in production in resin, so all that has to be paid for is the metal moulding/casting

Same applies for all the others. By that logic Alix will drop to £6 in the future, or all heros will be £15 in metal and resin (unless the art / sculpts / moulds for the others was free).

I've chipped in £10, I'm sure I'll find something. Besides, closer to 300 backers, the more likely more backers will join. Interestingly I dropped earlier preferring to wait for retail. But I'm impressed at what's been unlocked.

Aye, only 30 backers off now and the Ballista is getting closer - less than £1,500 to go

I'll stay in at GBP 10 (or 20, in the end) for the Fomoraic exclusive (and to not screw y'all on the Alix/monster stretch ) but since that Savrar stretch is not going to be even remotely within reach I can't really find a way to stretch to any free monster level, sadly.

Thanks,

but do remember to check just before closing time in case we get a money river flowing

I will. But Mierce KSes have never had spectacular final days even at the best of times, IIRC - not getting my hopes up

Well, MAYBE 299 would be okay too :x

Well, it's only 23 backers away from hitting 300. So just over one an hour needed now to hit the 300 mark.

I'm on the fence at the moment, but the Jutes are calling me.

If I pledge £100 do I get a free level one monster, or do I have to buy the Alix figure to qualify?

You have to buy Alix to qualify.

That's a shame.

It seems to be somewhat overpriced compared to similar figures, plus I don't know who the sculptor will be.

You should definitely keep a toe in - but also keep in mind that what you end up pledging during the campaign will determine what 'freebie level' you get.

Funds added later don't count!

I'll definitely Pledge for at least £10, but I'm not sure what the incentive is to pledge for more during the campaign if I have no intention of purchasing Alix?

Unlocking more things - possibly stuff you're more interested in?

Granted, some of that may be out of reach now, but we'll see!

Yeah, I guess it's possible that we will unlock more stretch goals.

One more question; have the Atlantes Ilios Guard been sculpted yet and if so have we seen them? If not, do we know who the sculptor will be?

Mierce has just hinted that it could be Yannick Hennebo doing Alix, but that's not confirmed yet

It was supposed to be Hector Moran, but they're reassigning the sculpts to someone else (mainly because I suspect Hector's being Kingdom Deathed up).

To be honest, I wouldn't be too surprised if they hand them over to third man studios (Aragorn and Edgar of Jutes fame!)

Thanks for the info, I'd be happy if Edgar S got the job, but time will tell!

Earlier Khthones stetch and definitely reachable

Okay... at £45,000 (no earlier I'm afraid), the Storm of Khthon. Five Gorgórar archers, resin or metal.

Metal would be £54 (£60 RRP) for five, resin would be £72 (£80 RRP) for five.

I will have to do the graphics tomorrow guys, I cannot ignore our lass all night...

Get adding!

Zed continues to impress with his Darklands knowledge!

Much appreciated!

It's pure guesswork on my behalf! I try to look at who're they're currently using and are impressed by. I get the feeling the speed and quality of the Jute pieces surprised them quite a lot.

Ah, I thought you meant they had reshuffled the Savrar to that position - that would have been a lot more enticing!

I think this'll help though. And, I am quietly optimistic that the we will actually reach the Savrar. We're 18 backers away from the free monster stretch and, when that hits, we should see a lot of people boost their pledges. Also, all other "Bigger" Mierce Kickstarters did over £10k on the last days. Although this hasn't the total funding of the last bunch, I reckon we should see a good chunk pledged.

Me too - the Jutes stuff shown to date is amazing.

So much so that I've add yet another Kindred to my list!

As a result of this KS I am now up to 6 kindreds. My poor wallet

Even if you don't actually want her, as long as you want one of the level 1 beasts you can pick you'll save money over all, £15 pair for her get you a £27 (metal) or £34 (resin) beast thus saving you £12 or £19, plus you have a mini to sell/swap/give away/stick in the bits box

(and if you ever play the game she looks to be a great character to have allowing you to bring a 'non kindred' beast to the fight

Quick, someone tell Mierce to get some lizard guys on the menu. RiTides needs to get enticed in so I can pile on his pledge for a beast mistress and monster.

There's a pretty good chance that the 50k gets hit, unlocking a bunch of lizard archers!

Once the 300 backers is reached, the total should get moving quickly!

The resin and metal price is the same, which is odd. Maybe it was supposed to be £10 in metal like Uthred and the other LE sellswords? Either way, it's nto a big deal since they don't come with a £32+ monster. It's essentially subsidizing the beast during this campaign. If they offer her afterwards, maybe the price will drop.

298 backers and over 41k currently with 12 hours to go. Hopefully now that (when 2 backers join) the monsters are unlocked, we see some people boost their pledges (and more joiners) in the morning.

I think there's a very good chance of hitting 45k, but I'd love for this to explode and hit 50k. The deal for this is close to as good as any of the Mierce kickstarters (not much worse than Monstrous Mounts, but much more flexible).
