Subject: CMON Wrath of Kings Kickstarter! Ended at 717K
That shows a bunch of out of stock limited edition models with this description on each: "high quality preview resin model for the upcoming Wrath of Kings miniatures game! Available now in limited quantities until Wrath of King launches."
I don't see Ephrimaki listed, even as an out of stock item, and googling his name gives like two results... one of which is this thread . So, just wondering where this project is at, as I definitely am interested in picking up that model
Edit: They made this comment two weeks ago:
Creator CoolMiniOrNot on July 7
Ship date is still the same as it's been. Scheduled for August/September. We'll update if anything changes.
I think they're going to try and have some previews of the production plastics.
I'm going to try my darndest to take some home with me...

Backers! Mr. Black here, and we've completed our spoils of all the additional Infantry + Leaders so I figure it's time we move on to showing you some Specialists.
Well... We'll get to that in a moment, but first, just to give you an update on production: Things are still on trek for August/September. I will alert you with any additional information as it becomes available.
Alright! Onto the spoilers!... Wellll, before we do... Let me take a moment to show you some newly painted miniatures, brought to you by our world-class painter Jen Haley:
LORD HOB (Goritsi)
TIMOSHKIN (Teknes)
DEEPMEN GUARDIANS (Hadross)
In addition to that I've got two spoilers for you today:
THE DRAGONSLAYER (Goritsi Rank 2 Specialist)
And DUKE ANTON DON GENORIA (Goritsi)
Nice looking stuff!
It has been a long time since I looked at the WoK rules, but these two Goritsi models seem suitably awesome...

Dang thing is basically going to run around 18 pounds (3 for funding, 3 for shipping, and 12 for the mini). The shipping rate is low enough that it probably wouldn't be much cheaper to have someone add on once you have them ship it to you.
Though if we get enough people it might be cheaper to get it all sent to one location in the US and that person ship it out. Anybody in here interested?

If you can't find a US based backer who'll get one for you I could add one or more on in the pledge manager, though as Hulksmash says it might be just as cheap to back and that way you'd get access to the living rulebook
(PM me towards the end if you still need me to get one for either or both of you)

If we can find at least one more person it'd shave $5 or so each off when all is said and done. It goes from 18 pounds per model to 12.66 pounds + US Shipping. So $9 cheaper with the current exchange rate and US shipping is normally only going to run $2-$3 for a single mini.
If we found 15 people it'd be pretty perfect. Then it drops to 10 pounds per model but I don't expect that to happen. Or if there is a US backer doing over 150 pounds and we could add on.

I have been following this for quite some time. Never invested in the kickstarter... I think my money was tied up in Warzone or Star Citizen at the time, but I sure wish I did!
I will very likely start collecting this range soon.

I had two thoughts:
1) The comparison he does between painted resins and painted production plastics gives me very high hopes for the quality of models to come out of this KS.
2) I need those Teknes pigs. I need them bad. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the rest of the Teknes aesthetic, so an add on box may be in my future.

Hopefully we will have more to discuss in this thread soon.
I wish there was some resource that had all of the most up to date pics of the sculpts for each faction all together. It is a bit of a pain having to wade through a number of updates to find the production plastics for Goritsi so I can drool over them. I just want to do all my drooling in one place.

Now that is a good idea - I hope someone at CMON makes that happen!

Hello everyone! Mr. Black here! And I have some important updates for everyone! We'll start with the mundane bits first and work our way down:
First thing up is GENCON. As you may know (Well, as the US backers may know) GenCon is the largest gaming convention in the US and it's happening next week. While we will not have product for sale at GenCon we will have the full run of our painted miniatures, many, many of the production plastics to see, and will be running full demos and events throughout the entire of the convention. I'll also be there so feel free to stop by the CoolMiniOrNot booth and say hello to myself and the development team!
Secondly, I have a meeting with our production manager on Monday and afterwards will have some more concrete information in regards to our shipping timetables and just what to expect in the coming weeks and whatnot. Overall he said he is very pleased with how things are moving, but did express some concerns in production regarding some of our printed materials. At this time he said he does not believe any of said concerns will effect our timetables but he is overseeing it through the weekend and will brief me come our meeting on Monday. I'll update everyone Tuesday about the results and hopefully I'll have some concrete information to share. The excitement is building though, as personally, the production plastics that have been sent to us for inspection over the last bit of time have been phenomenal and I'm super proud of them, and I'm also very satisfied with how our packaging has come out (the boxes are very pretty ), as well as the quality of the rulebook.
Speaking of the rulebook, I've gotten our Graphics team to compile a Web-Friendly version of the new WoK rulebook, complete with Eric Kelly's novel. You'll notice some rules tweaks since the last released version as myself and the rest of the dev team continued to streamline things- Don't worry, we didn't reinvent the wheel here, just tightened some mechanics and wording
Now, note that unfortunately I was just informed that this Web version is not the 100% final print one (mainly art assets and some typo corrections), it seems in my rush to get you guys this Friday update I goofed and got an older file version- All the rules are correct however, but there may still be some little errors- I assure you they arent in the final printed version.
I see it, but to be honest that's not a huge issue to me. Plenty of miniatures in resin have similar places that require green stuff. Could it be better? Sure. To me it isn't a deal breaker by any stretch.

I agree. I fully expect there to be some joints/joins that require greenstuff, but for not much more than $1 per mini (including the big guys) I think that is acceptable quality. The detail still seems decently sharp, and unlike many PVC miniatures, these can apparently be put together out of the bag without the significant hot water treatments that other efforts have required.

Aug 12 2014 Production Update (8-12-14) 23 comments 10 likes
Hello everyone, Mr. Black here, and as stated on Friday I have another production update for you.
So over the weekend I spoke with our production manager and got some hard data and numbers in dealing with where everything is with the project. My role, being Lead Developer, is pretty much handle the rules and content and then roll it out to production, who takes it from there and gets the manufacturing done. That's how it usually goes anyway. With this project I've been a bit more hands on with the whole process as I've wanted to keep all our backers in the loop and maintain a personal voice to you all, letting each of you know just where we are as soon as I myself know it.
That being said, our production manager has been on top of everything and was able to give me pretty much every bit of information I wanted when speaking to him... Unfortunately not all that information was good. I've never been great and giving out bad news (I have a habit of making it sound worse than it is, apparently...) so I'll just explain everything piece by piece.
Everything was supposed to be ready to be shipped out Late August/ Late September (with the more likely being September), and we were pretty much on course for that to happen- As I'm sure everyone is already aware we experienced a 3 month delay in the tooling process and the creation of the new molds for all the Stretch Goals unlocked. I'm happy to say that right now all the model production is DONE, aka all the plastic/polystyrene components are good and ready to go (you can see some additional production pictures in the previous update)...
...Unfortunately, we hit an unexpected issue that came out of left field. When we were moving onto final checks and preparation for our printed materials it was unfortunately discovered that many of them contained old art assets- meaning that many of the production cards and boxes were utilizing outdated materials (items which we had redesigned, recolored, etc etc). How exactly this came to be is as of yet unknown, as we have various proofing and checking stages for all printed materials- it seems at the moment that somehow outdated files got moved into a final production folder/someone at the end of the line overwrote something they shouldn't have/ etc etc... There are a ton of things that could have happened. The important thing is they were caught. The issue is they were caught this late in the process, which means all those outdated/incorrect items have to be reprinted and replaced.
As such, we're now experiencing a delay. According to the production side of things, fixing these print materials will take an estimated six to eight weeks- time composed of processing the correct files, getting the factory set up, actual printing, cutting, drying, etc etc...
It personally brings me down as of all the things involved in this project- tooling, molding, sculpting, manufacturing the plastics, assembling the packages, everything... Printing is what is causing this issue. It doesn't make me happy to say that, it really doesn't, but at the bottom line there isn't anything we can do except fix the issue, get the correct items printed and packaged, and move forward.
CoolMiniOrNot, and me personally, want Wrath of Kings to be the absolute best product it can be, and we're making the correct fixes and taking the actions needed to get it to you guys as fast, and in the highest quality, we can.
We're sorry for the further delay, and I will keep you posted as soon as we get additional information or when things move along in the printing process.
Until then, take care, and thank you.
-Mr. Black

So given that they're now.admitting that late August was a pipe dream anyway and that late September was much more likely, and another 2 months on top takes us to late November... Also known as December or January.... Or after CNY...
. So, just wondering where this project is at, as I definitely am interested in picking up that model
