We're coming to a close on our Kraken kickstarter and gearing up for our new Kickstarter. We've started showing off a few of the sculpts and thought we'd share with you folks here too.
These will pre-painted plastic, and unpainted plastic as usual with 2 paint jobs to decide between (PPM = standard, KSX = kickstarter exclusive).
Goblin Spider Rider
Orc Shaman
The Reward Figures are special paints from our first KS.
Thanks for checking these out.

I just saw the picture of the owl-riding dwarf and I am so in! You should post that everywhere. Since the natural plastic is similar to Bonesium, Your KS should be popular on the Reaper forum, too.

Thanks for kudos. We've been posting at Reaper, we'll try to keep that going. Also, posting at WorldWorksGames, Fat Dragon Games, Paizo, EnWorld, we could use all the help we can get spreading the word - we're launching in Sept.
Here's the Dwarf Rider in Question, also the Riders will be swappable.
And the swappable-ness of the riders.

Ok. That's brilliant.
What will the prices or pledge levels be like? Your last KS was very reasonable, but on your site it looks like your prices doubled and you stopped offering individual minis for sale. In this KS! I would be looking to get a squad of 3 to 5 owls with one of each of the other mounts and some extra dwarf riders...but I realize that's a very finicky pledge. Will that kind of order be possible at retail? Or as affordable?
I am really glad to see you have a real innovation for your cavalry minis. Swapping the riders opens up all kinds of gaming and modeling possibilities.

Thanks! We're very excited about this new venture.
In order to use distribution and retailers to sell our product we had to increases pricing or end up in the red, we also boxed them in sets for the same reason, easier for orders. It's not the best model for direct selling, but that's not an option we can use with distribution in the mix.
Our KS prices will be just as reasonable, with sets of 4 for the price of 3 available for everything but the largest figures.
The KS will have a rider and mount in pairs, no swapping. It would be very chaotic if we started to split parts like that.

Todays reveal shows us the Imp and a new badge!
What's a Dungeon Crawler Imp? Nope, it's not Peter Dinklage, nor is it a small red winged demon. They are essentially a mischievous Fae-traced folk akin to Elves, but much more suited to living amongst humans as they can handle industry in moderation and they like communities in general (somewhat similar to Mere cats). They have an affinity for animals, innate magic and are high energy. An Imp stands around 3' tall. They might be considered similar in appearance to a Gnome, Kender or Halfling from other fantasy worlds, and that works just fine with us. Small humanoids everywhere need a representative too!

New reveal, Kobold Rider!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dungeoncrawler/dungeon-crawler-fantasy-miniatures/posts/962296
Kobold what now? Yep, Kobolds are rat-men, 3' to 3.5' tall rat-men. Call em what you like, mouselings or whatever, they're grungy scurvy-ridden trap-laying critters! This one is armed with a crossbow and I imagine it's probably laced with a toxin of some kind. Kobolds live in these large strip-mine-like craters akin to a spiralling downward junk-tent city. Granted they can pretty much be found anywhere, they're survivors. The bats help them get from one edge of darkness to another pretty quickly too. Kobolds are often mercenary-like and can be found working for anyone except maybe the good guys because they are pretty greasy and do not tend to hide it. The Mines of Khurgan kind of shows off what these guys are all about, and it's fighting dirty (magic, backstabbing, traps and sniping).

The bat sculpt seems off. I think he's missing the muscles that allow him to flap his wings.

Kraken, released (from customs)!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dungeoncrawler/dungeon-crawler-fantasy-miniatures/posts/971889
And, final preview for KS2014 is the Behemoth artwork, Patrick is still working on the sculpt. It is on an 8x8 base, and will be our last mini of that size for a while.
Behemoths are essentially a kaiju, enormous monstrous beings (not a dragon) that devour all in their path. They are limited in number because they are so dangerous during their feeding frenzies when it's kill or be eaten! Then they slumber for decades before waking to feed again. The Orcs keep a very limited number of such beasts in an unnaturally extended slumber, then awake them to feed, or wake them to destroy their enemies! Some of their young, hatched from eggs are kept as pets or mounts by the most powerful of Horde leaders. Once they achieve a certain size and age, they begin to settle in to their hibernation pattern.
How does the Behemoth fit in to our Storm Riders campaign exactly? you might ask. The Behemoth has a crown of horns atop its head that, once they have reached a certain size, a medium sized figure could fit nicely between - and that rider is actually our 2nd sculpt goal the Orc Shaman (remember her?).
Now, don't worry, not all of our Stretch Goals are going to be rider-based, we do have plans to do other figures as well, many of which we've revealed in the past, and we hope to have you flooded with pre-painted plastic.
Once we reach $90k we will no longer have split sculpt and paint goals as we estimate we'll be at a steady paced ascension by that point (we'll see if things slow down or not). We have a very special SUPER Stretch Goal lined up for our 19th @ $160k, which we are planning on blowing your minds with. That's a fair bit bold of a goal, so we know we're being ambitious here.
Thanks for reading our reveals over the last few weeks...

In case you didn't know... Avatars on Kickstarter are no longer square, they are now round.

I did not know that. I'll do up some round friendly KS badges then.

I am really digging that Behemoth. Hits all the right kaiju notes for me.
Not sure if my wallet will enjoy me digging into it though...

Uh, is this still happening? It sounds like there's a problem with the manufacturer. Please elaborate what is going on.

Apologies, the KS is cancelled at this time while we resolve issues with our first KS.
