Hello everyone! :-D

Yes, KS-2.5 is now live and almost half-way funded, very much appreciated the faith and support! :-)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1273312680/war-is-coming-shieldmaidens-army-reboot/description

We will try our best to monitor and answer any questions these next 15something days, so anything you'd like to ask... shoot! :-D

Will the wolves by themselves be available as an add-on?

@Barzam
Wolves + Dragons will be available as add-ons in "Add-on pack-1", affirmative, we will post this in our update #1 or #2.
(and before you ask, Talliareum + probably Araves from our current range are going to form Add-on pack-2)

In again for the starter set.


Depending on the bears (please let them have fierce looking heads like the Mierce one and not Winnie-approved-cuddly ones like Scibor, oh, and well sculpted fur) I might drop that for a box of maidens or two and an add an unhealthy amount of ursines.

So happy it's back. I want lots of shieldmaidens

If they keep to the concept pics they have shown in the past, i think you will be pleased!

Sculpts are very faithful to the concept artwork and very detailed. The bears have all been commissioned to Paolo Fabiani, the same person who has sculpted our Orc heroes.

I have seen those pics. The bear on the black and white one looks good and intimidating, the one on the image with tan backround looks a bit herp-a-derp with a too round face (in miniature form bears need a slightly exagerated look to not look too round faced and soft/chubby), which is why I've been lobbying for really mean bears since they posted the scale mock-up between their lions and bears.

We wil see

Backed at $95, but largely in hopes of bear midriffs.

No! Got confused there. Either covered midriffs (human) or angry bears (containing midriffs). I suspect that if neither of those shows up as an unlock or option at the $95 level, I will be pulling out, or dropping back to $50. Not so interested in the orcs as I was last time around, don't really like the two-headed dragon much, not totally sold on the battle yak.

The bears look pretty sweet I must say.




I don't think those icicle add-ons work at all. But they are add-ons so it's just a matter of not gluing them on.

15$ for a bear or 3 of them for 40$ seems pretty affordable, though note that this is without riders.

Think I might uyse the icicles as spikes for their armor, so not a complete waste of resin

Is the head a little large or is it just the angle of the pic? Also, it looks like you'll have an empty socket you'd need to do something with if you left off the ice shards?

I like that the rider is fully separate, means these could be used for other things too

We will see if we can get some lateral/side pictures to solve that issue, some others have thought so in the comment section of the Kickstarter too, best show them the model at a different angle (have to dig you a picture for that though!)

IIRC the ice shards bases are almost vertical, the uncovered part could be painted as part of the armor.

Yes *evil grin*, that's the plan and should be sold separately in our bits section too once funded and made available for retail :-D

I remember in the first KS the lions could be used with some 40k space wolves, do you have a rough idea of what other minis might fit ontop of these lovely beasts?

Is this a new unit that rides Shieldmaidens into battle? Sounds... interesting..

I was having a look.. I thought there was a pledge for just one box of each maidens and Orcs.. would be kinda nice for us that don't really need much of either but wouldn't mind a little of both.

That said.. I'm here looking at add-ons. Wolves, that wonderfully sexy Yak, and the Mammoth are all great.. BUT.. I can't seem to find the piggies as an add-on *gasp*
I'd say at some point you probably have enough animals to do a zookeeper add-on pack (hint hint)

As i understand it, some stuff like that may be added as add-on options later.

Not later; the first add-on pack is either coming today or tomorrow.
Second add-on pack will come after a few more days.

I've been quite busy the past few days, so good to see that this is back on. The projected December delivery date intrigues me. How likely is that? Hopeful or close to definite? I'll trust Angelos to be straight with us on that where others often aren't.

Is there a specific reason you're trickling out the add-on packs rather than having them all upfront? Keeping people interested and looking at the page in the hope they add more to their pledges?

With a (probably) 2015 delivery date, I'd probably have backed day 1 if I was paying attention at the time, but that's a moot point now. I do wonder if it'd be better for the health of the campaign if I backed tonight, or if I waited a few days in order to help keep up the appearance of the pledges still continuing to come in?

Hi @Azazelx!

Well, it's a legitimate question. Program (very rough break-down) is something like this:

March- collection of funds sculpting of 3ups for the plastics

April- finish with any sculpting corrections we'd like to make, 3D printing here in Greece and shipping at UK

May - additional time for any corrections/delays

June- control of the 3ups and planning lay-out of items at Renedra (late June)

July- tooling

August- tooling (plus if we are very lucky, some vacation too!)

September- tooling, sending proofs and printing of the actual product. Then shipping to Greece. (THIS is the month that carries most of the weight and tightest of them all.)

October- packaging.

November- contact with backers for P&P payments

December- shipping rewards to backers.

It is a reasonable & doable plan, even considering having lost some time due to what happened to KS-2 we are still on time. Also need to note that all of the above has to do with the plastic production which is the main target of KS-2.5; it has not referred to the Pledge Manager which we must -obviously- take care of, while in the coming months we will proceed to cast/QC/pack and store all resin rewards. ALL of the items currently shown and funded are already sculpted (*except one Shieldmaiden model that is still WiP, but almost finished), so whatever we might fund according to "artwork-only" should be easily sculpted, shipped & casted in our facilities.
Accidents and delays may eventually happen, but we will try everything humanly possible not to delay. We count on making the 2016 X-mas special, because we too as backers would really like that to happen.

As for the add-ons we will indeed post the first pack rather quickly, we were holding on to them to spark the campaign, but with 2 weeks remaining, our main target completed and all the Team happy here, there's little to no reason to hold them back. As for the timing of any additional support, I honestly can't tell you. I don't have the slightest clue.
Regardless of you choosing to back us again or not (which I can totally understand if you don't), I really appreciate your genuine interest in the doings of my company and I'll do my best to honor said interest.
Thank you.

Angelos.
