And what are all the 'confirmed' nations/races?

(And thanks!)

By confirmed I mean the ones that have at least concept art (Orcs, gnomes, Dwarves, Trogs and Deathless). The list above are all taken from either the original Panzerfauste, KS comments or an interview that Hysterical games did with a German Youtuber (who has a hilarious comedy accent).

So, Dwarves are Germans, and then...who is everyone else?

Sorry

Dwarves - Germany
Gnomes- France
Trogs - Poland
Orcs - GB and Ireland
Deathless - White Russian vibes but basically a novel creation.

Also since the zombies (dead Russians) are elves that locks Russia in as Elves (of some flavour)

also this useful bit of info

Creator Hysterical Games about 9 hours ago

Gnomes are roughly 19mm tall to the top of the head, Dwarves are roughly 22 and the Orcs are roughly 26mm.

Gonna be a hard pass from me on this one. Something about different nations as different fantasy races makes me supremely uncomfortable.

So who will be centaurs and who will be satyrs?

Dykes, water, Beavers of course! Or ducks Or Sloths because they are all smoking weed

Before you get offended

Minis and concept are awesome, but didn't Prodos burn a bunch of folks?

Spoiler:

And yet he spoke German, once again showing that Hollywood is a pack of slowed idiots. It's a shame that gnomes have already been claimed by the French, because gnomes are also very much a Dutch thing:

I read that book BrookM, in English mind you, it was a great slice into their lives and fine example of crytpid zoology.

We have several of those books as well, they're well worth it just for the illustrations alone.

Hey everyone!

It may come as a great surprise for many of you to hear that, due to a number of personal reasons, I have handed in my notice at Prodos Games. My last working day will be at Crisis in Antwerp on the 7th of November.

It's been a ride that's been both enjoyable and rocky in equal measure; teaching me to endure through thick and thin. I've dealt with overjoyed, humble and happy customers; as well as some that have been not quite so pleasant! I like to think that I have had a positive impact on all of Prodos Games' customers in one way or another.

I wish all of my colleagues the best of luck in the future.

Thanks!
Rob

P.s. I do realise communication isn't great, so I do answer emails (even if it takes a bit longer) on my email at rob.alderman@prodos.co.uk. Please feel free to email that address for help.

Will that email be discontinued anytime soon as you have handed your notice at Prodos?

Does not having your day job affect the fulfillment of this Kickstarter, or are you starting another? And are Prodos still handling production of this project despite your departure?

The one thing that seemed odd to me was the fact that they'd be fine with you running this while working there, since it is in the same field and thus could be a direct competitor to some of their lines.

I hope this transition goes well for you, and if you could clarify the above that would be great!

@Vain: That email address will be forwarded to their new sales rep, when he starts. I don't want all those emails to end up in a black pit. I want someone to deal with it.

@RiTides: If anything, the fulfilment of this Kickstarter will be easier now that I do not work day-to-day for Prodos. As for working for Prodos whilst doing this, it's no different to Alessio working for Riverhorse, Mantic and Warlord; or Ches working for Footsore and Warlord... The list goes on!

Me leaving has been received perfectly well. The ball is in their court, so to speak.

So PRODOS is still going to be making the miniatures to fulfill your Panzerfauste KS campaign?

I hope that there won't be any lingering...anythings that might make that road any bumpier than it will be to begin with!

Rob leaving seems quite amicable. Something to do with him having to take care of his parent(s) so he can't work full time any more.

Hi there, to be clear on this topic, we are in discussion to make models for Panzerfauste KS, nothing is set at this point in time.. We have however, sculpted 100+ models for this KS, but all the work was done on credit.

love the Minis.....

Yep, everything is amicable.


Glad you love them Nuttol.

Eek, if I was commissioning you guys I'd rather not have you posting publicly about whether the work was paid for or done on credit (unless there were some kind of issue, but even then, direct contact would be best).

It is great to hear that things are amicable and I hope all goes well for both parties!

Shouldn't the Elves be the Nazis? I mean, they fit the SS bill

> Generally tall

Just get them some summer pea dot or oakleaf ponchos are you are good to go.

Seeing how "amicable" they've been with previous employees just turned me off of this again. Definitely will look for it at retail.

Edit: also concerned at how much was done on credit.

Sir, nowadays retail sales/design/3D printing or any other service that makes revenue stream is always supplied on credit.
We only take upfron payment from customers that are starting business with us and we don't know them. Then it goes to at least 30 days credit.
That does not mean that Hyserical has no internal funds, it's just a normal business approach.

It's very common in this industry.

Not sure how many of these have been translated, but there are several on gnomes, plus a few others with themes like horses, the Dutch hunting scenes and Dutch farm life.

I would start with this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O2RSBS?keywords=gnomes&qid=1445278174&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

I got it as a gift from my grandparents as a child and my kids enjoy now too.

Ah, I may have mis-spoken - my concern was not the method Hysterical is using to pay for the sculpts, but rather the way it was stated by WZR. I certainly didn't mean anything about them / their finances / etc! That should make sense, but if not, I'm honestly a bit sleep deprived these days

Just saw the video with the casts and they look quite good! Although obviously they're just test casts given that they haven't committed to Prodos for sure... but the models themselves are great.

I think once the AvP madness you will see more resin models labeled "manufactured by Prodos Games"

Sorry for hijacking

I wonder what Canada would be ( no doubt we will not see anything Canadian, as so many don't even register that we were in the war or just lump us with the UK instead of treating us as a separate nation for the war).

I could see very well why being rats for Italy would be considered very offensive perhaps not the most reasonable of choices? ( though a rat army is always cool in fantasy). Its just a very risky move doing even a ww1 / ww2 style fantasy setting , their is still a lot of rough feelings over it and could lead to a lot of losses in potential backers. Wouldn't mind seeing Canadians as Gnolls XD though they would probably make us beavers :/ and surprised to not see the Americans in here as of yet D:. Best of luck guys, it seems your doing very well however!.
