Don't you get the beta rules for free with most pledges?

I believe there are 44 now.

scipio.au wrote:Hm. I just checked out the Facebook page and it ways that over 44 figures have been funded? It doesn't look that way on the page, but it's gotten quite hard to navigate and tell what's going on between the packages, stretch goals, and repeated images when things are shown as add-ons, package figures and stretches...

As previously noted, the front page on the KS got every unlocked mini listed, if that's what you were asking for.

No, it's definitely 42, there are 44 displayed images in the picture showing the unlocked minis, but the gnoll appears twice, once in the desert set, and once in the freebies area. The second is the howling ghoul which appears twice as well, once in the ghoul set, and once by itself next to the king of ghouls.

@recruittons - Aaah, yes that is right!

They are indeed free with most pledges, but if folks want in for just a few minis + free goblins, they can get the beta rules when they hit by adding $4

Almost 50K!

Only 22 hours left now; I really, really hope we get to all three jungle elves as well as Ammit!

Jody made a comment about posting art for a dragon knight, and 'taking a few bids for a dragon' in a few hours; I wonder what that meant...?

Alright, so Jody has given a bit of a final reveal here!

Currently, at 52k, the first wild elf unlocked. Then, 55k we have Ammet the Devourer. To top that off, at 64k, the final 2 models of the jungle set unlocks, opening it up as an $85 (plastic) or $155 (resin) option!

Last hours of the Kickstarter and i don't have to tell you that if you want to be part of it you'd better hurry up!

Last stretch!

Less than 24 hours to go! Here's a preview of the miniatures that will make up the Jungle Set. After the Demon Ammit unlocks at $55,000 the Jungle set will unlock at $64,000. Ammit will be available as an add on for $30 or $60 for resin. We can do this!

The Wild Elves!

The Elementalist has been unlocked! We're now just a few miniatures away from a complete jungle set!

Of the many inhabitants of the deep jungles, The wild elves are probably the most cunningly cruel. They live completely apart from other races and respond to most forms of human diplomacy with the spear point.

$64K seems unlikely but I'm still hoping for it; that wild cat looks interesting!

Yeah, I wish he could switch the 2 goals! But from his comments apparently having a big creature (Ammit the demon) is more important for gameplay than having one more complete set (as it does seem you'll be able to mix models from the sets a bit).

Will be fun to see it finish

Comparing the progress of this to Trollforged's Kickstarter (since they have similar totals) is really interesting to me. It seems that this has had a more steady draw of people pledging a slightly higher amount with the complete package offerings, whereas Trollforged had less progress as it went (probably because Ed had less sculpts to show / somewhat less experience sculpting) but a bigger kick at the end as people panicked to get in on it

Of course, a huge kick is possible here, but I'm thinking we might see a day more like yesterday, just unlocking Ammit and not reaching the wild elves... but I hope to be proven wrong

Ok, I thought I've missed something but then things are as I thought it was

It'd be sweet if we unlocked the Jungle set, my wallet wouldn't like it though

This is what I've been thinking too; that the last day will see good increase but perhaps not a crazy rush. However, Jody just dropped an elusive comment about a dragon, so perhaps he has something up his sleeve here...

He said "take a few bids", maybe he will be hiring another sculptor to do the dragon?

And Jody comes back with the update about the sea dragon!

Less than 12 hours to go and I have a special offer for you. Concept art of the sea dragon has been greatly received and I've had many requests for it. It's a big project and I'm really keen to do it but I want to give backers in the complete package category as much value as I can so I'm going to leave it out of the complete and complete collector packages and will be releasing it around mid 2014. The dragon has been so popular that it's going to get sculpted, funding for it isn't even necessary but I'm going to make a special offer for backers of this kick starter. Pre order the sea dragon for $90 and get it in resin, receive free shipping in the US, and get the dragon knight "caller" in resin included for free. International customers, pay just $10 for shipping.

Love both the dragon and the caller, wish I could just dish out $100

I'll admit, I really really want this, but yeah, $90 over a year in advance is a huge decision to make. Tempted, but not overly.

Yeah, we'll have over a year and a half saving up for that dragon. And I actually don't mind getting it in plastic, I've never been a fan of resin. But those are never the less some awesome concepts!

Agreed - awesome, but I'll have to wait for the 'retail release'!

Cash is kinda tight but I think I'm gonna have to dive in for that Troll druid. No idea what I'd use it for, but I feel like I need it anyways.

@Necros - Heh, it's a great looking mini for sure

By the way shouldn't that wild elf been unlocked by now?

Necros, I'm having to physically restrain myself from upping to the goblin set to get that troll druid... but I think I might actually want to go with the Elementalist once he has beta rules, I like the sound of it as a wizard / sorcerer.

A wee update from the comments!

Ok, we'll make great cat and kin available at $58k and the third elf available at $61k. $3,000 each. easy to do.

I suppose Jody got a whole lot to do answering emails and such. Two stretch-goals have been met without a word or the miniatures unlocked being added to the graphic on the main page (the one showing which models that are unlocked). I hope he does so he gets more backers (Jungle set I can almost touch you now )

Great cat and kin at 58K- Since the Kickstarter is at 56.8K, counting the 1.2K from Paypal they should be UNLOCKED!!

That means only 3K to go for the last of the jungle set

I've already pledged some $130+ and now the question is, to get asura+gnoll or not? Decisions decisions... But then I feel compelled to get the monk, rider and swordsman as well (the monk and the rider at the very least) and bam(!) there goes $61... Hmmm, might just stay at my current pledge.

Hmm, not to be a tempter or anything, but I would suggest giving those gnoll WIP shots another good look and seeing if you like him enough to get him. Then you can say you're paying $12 for the gnoll and getting a free asura!

Damn! There goes another $12 (and it's on your conscience recruittons, I take no responsibility )! It felt like a no-brainer really, since I dig both minis. But now there is the monk. that'd be the last, the rider would have to wait... Hmmm...

Under 1K to go until jungle set unlocks, with 3 hours left!

(this is counting the 1.2K from Paypal pledges)

In for the Gamer Level with Asura and Gnoll, so I can get the rules - also added in a Death Knight, Basilisk and Ifrit.

Just because!

I hope this system goes places - it looks to be able to scratch that itch I've had since Confrontation died, all those years ago!

Although I'm not sure I can justify spending anything on this, I'm very glad all these figs will be added to our available choices in the future. Kickstarter is doing great things for our hobby.

Hmmm - hold the phone, I can get Asura and a Ghoul shipped for $12? Now a stupid question - I just pledged, how do I indicate which figure I want? Does that happen later when the project ends?

Yup, once it's all done, you'll be asked via survey (most likely) what you want. Just so you know, if you add another $13 to your order, you'll get 3 jungle goblins for free too!

Oh, the slippery slope! I can't tell much about them from the pic, but they do look interesting...
