Nice! That sure is a bugbear like none before

Looks stunning! Can't wait to get one or three.

There will be a variant head, shield and weapon arm too eventually. Where people order more than one we will give as much variation as we can.

Looks utterly badass!

This links to our Facebook page where you can see the 360 degree video of the model. Please view in HD by selecting the option on the bottom right of the pic!

Or you can see the snap shot below...

Looks incredible! Clicking the "HD" on the bottom right of the video on the facebook page really helps, too. Although the 360 makes him look a bit fatty

I'll definitely be in for one. What size base is he on in the video, and what did his height end up being?

He is approximately 65mm in height. He will also be a resin piece and he will be on a 50mm round lipped base.

Awesome! And if we order two, we'll get the alternate head/shield/weapon on the second? That is likely going to get me in for a pair of them

Yep! That's correct. We want to allow a bit of interchangability. Once the company grows we plan to add at least one additional variant to each of our larger monsters!

Hi Kaine, how about a rendered group shot so we can see them all scaled against one another

Thats an awfully good idea! I'll see what I can come up with.

I think you were wise to put this bugbear figure up front in your campaign, Kaine. It's the kind of big ticket showpiece that not only sells the model, but also becomes emblematic of the whole line and helps sell the project.

I can see myself getting the horde level of goblins and using them as large units of Hobgoblins in my Chaos Dwarf army.

That would be awesome! We will have hobgoblins too but in metal only.

I have had people tell me they are going to use them as goblins, night goblins, hobgoblins... One friend of mine is even using them as imps for a demon army he is assembling.

The main thing about he range is versatility and I really can't wait to see what people will come up with.

Jeebus! He's a big lad!

Those goblins and such a damn ugly and all, which is fantastic, but there's been a distinct lack of dead things showing up in this thread.

That bugbear is infreakingcredible

Just wanted to show you the first of the resin castings of the Goblin Skulk.

This guy is the KS Exclusive miniature available to everyone who pledges at the Skulk pledge and above.

I am just finishing painting one up and I will get this on the Forum tomorrow. Incidentally we are having a competition on Facebook for the painted version of the model. The painted model will be on Facebook tomorrow. All of you who share the painted mini post will be entered into the draw to win the painted Skulk. The results will be on our Facebook page on Sunday at 1pm.

Our FB page is:https://www.facebook.com/minionminiatures



Riven Skull I just wanted to reassure you that this KS will be an equal split of living and dead! The Goblins and the Zombie Abominations will be available at the outset and just to remind you of the Undead stuff available please se the following pics!







We should also have a full colour Zombie Abomination artwork piece by the end of the week for the KS launch.

What's the start date on this one?

The 8th September. Probably 12pm Monday depending on KS approval.

Thanks!

Also, will the Lizardmen goal be something near the start or are we looking a bit further out for them?

I am quite interested in the Swarm level (if it still exists?), but only if the Lizards are in. Goblins for me, Lizards for the missus.

Oh and I'm stoked to hear that a Deep One/Mythos faction is planned!

Lizards are a fair way up the chain and will only fund if it goes really well. If every thing funds and they dont then they will be the first on the list for our next Kickstarter along with Orcs.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I may have given out some duff information on pricing for the Bugbear Ironshield. I had been giving out pricing for the Flesh Golem which is significantly smaller. Both the Flesh Golem and the Bugbear Ironshield will be available to buy from the get go from the addon store. The Flesh Golem is priced at £18 and will be a resin model.

The Bugbear Ironshield is significantly larger and will be available for £25.

Some one also asked for a size comparison...

Thanks again!

I hope you keep up this level of interaction post-funding, so many creators get the money then it's silence for weeks on end...

That Bugbear is HUGE!

Oh I know and I've seen all of those, and it was slightly tongue in cheek.

I'm just waiting for the kickstarter, and then will be waiting for shipping, then complaining about all the models I then have to paint.

I don't think I realized how big the Bugbear was going to be...


...WOW!

Sign me up NOW!

Yeah the bugbear is a great looking model.

Ach, it looks good but possibly Too big for my use, and of course a bit pricier now.

its tough because i'm interested in this KS, Meirce's, and Rise of the Kage. ugh.

That Bugbear is MASSIVE. Is his head clocking in at 65mm, or is that to the tip of the shield? He will certainly fit in with all my Mierce stuff.

I will own one. One way or the other, I'll have one when all is said and done.

Kaine, I hope you have given some thought to having some sort of post funding pledge manager type deal. Preferrably one that can just funnel all of my paypal funds directly into it. Especially if your giant lizardmen (deathscales?) can match that Bugbear!

I will have a pledge manager sorted by the end of the KS. I am also going to have a weekly/fortnightly email update throughout the production process. One thing I can assure people of is that I will not go quiet. The process will be as interactive as possible. When I release the rules on Minday they will be for beta testing. The idea is that those of you who want to play the game will help us play test them to get them perfect before we make the rulebook. Although the lead time on the plastics is fairly long we will try and fulfil the resins and metal figures for those of you that have only these in your pledge a bit faster.

Renedra have agreed (in fact they suggested) that we go back to the factory and take photos of all the different stages of manufacture so you can see they how everything works and what stage the minis are at.

We are looking forward to this KS and thank you all for your interest.

Wowzers! The Bugbear is massive! You sure you want to make the dude that big? He looks to be about the size of a giant? I was expecting him to be more Troll or Ogre sized.

In any case, fantastic work mate!

The pic is a little misleading actually as the display base for the Bugbear is bigger than the others. He is about 65mm tall. Bugbear Inronshields are the biggest of their kind, freakish examples that are coerced into taking on the role of the Ironshield. Basically, although they have some formidable attack powers their main focus is always defending. They are designed to be used to block cavern or dungeon bottlenecks.

The normal Bugbear brute is about the size of the Flesh Golem, so Bugbears are not all so huge. Just the Ironshields.

They are actually about the size of a LOTR troll from GW.
