It might be even longer, but they don't know yet.

Nice concepts, but I doubt we'll get to them with the amount of time left.

Raging Heroes do the best monsters, I look forward to purchasing some of the wolves a few years from now.
I really hope they do some research before the next kickstarter and have base factions at the start you then unlock and purchase addons to rather than a jumble of miniatures.
Oh, and include Cthulhu leading an army of tentacled face chicks.
There’s a difference between having a hobby and being a narcissist.

God, I am so on the fence about this. I had pulled my pledge a few days ago, and then seeing this new stuff (that Iron Empire nurse, for example) was like mmmm, that's cool. Then I saw that the EB Commander pledge I had cancelled was now open - 1 of 50 remaining. I mean, that's got to be fate, right?
I re-pledged and now will wrestle with this decision for the rest of the night.

There is little chance that those will be carried by a FLGS, so I might as well hope they get unlocked, and spend the money now, rather than put it off and never get them (wandering gamer's attention deficit, I call it)

So to get the awesome techno zombie gal who lookes amazingly Dark Mechanicus, as I'm in the US I'd need to pledge 50+ bucks? Kinda confused as I haven't visited the kickstarter page before.

If you're getting a single figure (you're wanting #42, right?) then S&H is free. You just pledge at Private level and you're fine.

I think he might mean W101? If so, "she" is available as a free addition to pledges over... $150 or something? Look for pledge levels that include "freebies".
Alternatively the freebie add-ons are individually purchasable for $10, so you... I think, can get her as the single $10 hero in the "Private" $15 pledge level.

Oh, heh, Jim and I were both off it seems.
I'm honestly not sure if you can get her in the Private level (you would definitely owe something extra, not sure if she is completely disqualified from that level though).

Earlier this week they said if you wanted a single $20 figure you could add the extra five bucks and still get it at the Private level.
By the way, I was extremely relieved to see Castle Perilous added to the drop ship locations. Since it's in Southern Illinois, rather than the greater Chicago area, it provides a good hub for people in the mid-midwest.

We've been working like crazy to finish the were-wolves designs.
To tell you the truth we didn't anticipate that once we had talked about them in our small background stories, you would be so excited about seeing and getting their miniatures
We're pretty happy with how they came out. However, since we had to create them fairly swiftly, you can bet that in the end they will look even better. Just so you know, the finished minis should be fairly large miniatures probably just a bit bigger than the famous Confrontation Wolfen.
So what are these creatures?
The Kurgan people have a long history of shamanic traditions. They have countless folk tales about wood creatures, sorceresses and changelings. But these topics are now taboo.
Historians say that a long time ago, the Kurgans were strong-tempered, excessive people with simple means and hearty spirits, who enjoyed their wine as much as their fights. They had a loose, somewhat disorganized social structure that nevertheless suited them perfectly.
But then, a sudden and unanticipated burst in their economy changed everything.
And greed soon pushed them into ultra-violent civil wars that were later to be named the War of the Beasts. They came to use their otherwise sacred shamanic powers to fuel merciless bloodshed that cut a swathe of destruction through the Kurgan population. It forever shattered their way of life, their beliefs, their philosophy.
Many many years later, they emerged from those dark times as a totally different people.
They managed to rebuild their society only through extremely firm discipline and a devotion for science and technology.
The shamanic tales and powers of old times have now become taboo and the Kurgans have learned to ruthlessly repress their animal side.
Yet today, they face a new challenge. Rampant corruption has infested their omnipresent hierarchy. Many believe that the solution can only be found by going back to their old ways. And with the discovery of the 'were' gene, the power of the ancient Yagas is on the rise. Even if it is still taboo, many Kurgans now roam the battlefields in their 'were-animal' form.
