Seems that ADW's camera is to batteries what Cookie Monster is to cookies.

To be fair, the camera is a bespoke creation. 100% certified organic, handcrafted from responsibly-sourced materials and only accepts artisanal batteries. These can take quite a while to charge. Fortunately, placing a copy of Plato's Republic nearby can speed the process.

If I do actually receive anything, I will purposefully create a P&M blog here and chronicle my efforts.
I won't do it for Darklands, or ShadowSea, or any of the myriad of bizarre figures clogging my desk.
But I'll do it for ADW.
They are that awesome.
God I wish they'd just pay the damned original sculptor and get this all sorted out.

Obviously I need to go out and find a wooden horse. It's a step in the right direction to enhance my budding sculpting career

Yeah, me too. I really wish we were getting those original sculpts used for marketing the campaign.
I, too will start a painting blog here for these miniatures, whatever it is that we end up with from this... I'm still waiting for the final sculpts before I make my final assessment, but dude. Not looking promising at all, at this point. Clearly I just don't have the artistic vision to fill in the gaps. Surely the quality of the sculpts will speak for themselves when painted!

I almost hope so.
I'd almost rather get trolled than have them have their heads so far off in the clouds believing that what they are offering is an acceptable alternative to what we were shown in the beginning.

Do you think they would be pissed if I contacted the original sculptor, and bought the sculpt? Maybe run a kickstarter of my own.

I do like that original Elasmotherium sculpt...and such a nice charging pose he had. I had originally pledged for him until that situation on the Reaper forums, and canceled as soon as i saw their attitude

Can you really run a KS? Because I know pinmini on the Reaper forums sculpted gnomes that I'm guessing were originally for the ADW Band of Gnomes project, and has the Ice Age miniature animals.
Pinmini would have to have his contract reviewed by a lawyer to confirm that he owns the sculpts. Nobody owns the IP on ice age mammals, of course.
These pics remind me of resumes. The more inexperienced the person, the more stuff they put on their resume...

If I can get what I pledge for, hell, I'd back that.

Wow, they just keep on delivering.
One thing I just noticed is that they seem to have done some pruning of their Kickstarter pages. The Ice Age Mammals page used to have an FAQ section where they, among other things, were saying that they don't work with freelancers (I quoted part of that on page 3 of this thread). And their first KS, Doggerland the skirmish game, I know used to have a section at the bottom where they stated that they have years of experience in the miniature industry, that they have been diligent in their efforts to check every step of the production in advance etc etc. Hmmm. I had actually assumed that this stuff was still up there because it isn't possible to alter the main page after a project is funded or cancelled. Seems I was wrong.

I believe its possible to modify to the FAQ, but the page itself it is not possible to change.

Oh, cool, had never heard of that. So going back to an older version of the Ice Age Mammals, it appears they have now removed the entire 'Risks and challenges' and ' FAQ' sections:
http://web.archive.org/web/20140719054819/https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dinaandrewswalker/miniature-ice-age-mammal-adventure-set
No luck in finding the old Doggerland KS page though I'm afraid. However, I'm sure that used to have a section at the bottom describing how professional and awesome their team is.

You seem to be mislooking or having an issue with your browser, the FAQ & Risks/Challenges sections are still present... As its not possible to edit a FAQ or the page _AT ALL_ after it funds. I just attempted to do so on one of my own projects and it just spits out a 'you can't do that' error.

Oh, crap, sorry about that. I'm on my phone and those sections are found at the top of the page under their own little tabs; I missed that, I'm an idiot. It does make a lot of sense that you can't edit after funding, that is indeed what I had assumed.

Ok, they have to be trolling us at this point.
They even added a globe to the "class up the picture and maybe they'll eat the gak" strategy.
