£4,243
pledged of £800 goal

the goat knights are oddly appealing.

probably a bit heavy armour wise for LOTR but cool sculpts.

I could use them as a free company regiment for my Empire army.

I've been looking forward to this.

I've waited for this a while.

I don't really have the funds at the moment, but those goat knights are just soo adorable.

Perhaps add 'Westfalia Miniatures' to the title?

These are some awesome minis. Gonna be in for 10 dudes at least.

I pledged for the small army. Enough to get some Halfling allies on the table besides my Kingdoms of Men army.

Whelp, time to find some things to sell because I need as many of these little dudes in my collection as I can manage. Too awesome!

Yup. And once you get a few units painted up, you'll have a great base for a league of Rhordia army too.

Actually, I'm more curious of how an entirely Halfling army would work.

The horde of Haberdashire is off to war!

Very, very nice.

I'd love to go in on this as a League of Rhordia KoW army, but have a few too many armies to paint as it is.

The figures look amazing, are priced really well for resin and it looks like a seriously good quality product.

These look wonderful, don't think I can resist getting just a few

Well the goat cavalry is just awesome

They would make a awesome Oldhammer Dogs of war army

I'm super tempted but I'm done with KS.

Any plans for who will carry the line in the US at retail? Or will it all be out of the UK?

I have no use for it but I'm captivated nonetheless! Of course though I've always been a fool for halflings since the 1990s. I think I still have the old Citadel Journal issue with the moot army.

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention. Some seriously awesome looking halflings.

There's been a big surge the amount of halfling miniatures as of late and these certainly do not dissappint. I'll be pledging once I get the old finances in order.

War machines are funded.

Separate barrels for cannon and multi-barrel machine planned. Great for those looking to use these for a Leauge of Rhordia army.

The text makes it sound like there should be pictures included but the only pics are of alternatively armed goat knights.

If only WFB still existed, and I still had an Empire army!

Having said that, I still want to find a way to use these minis, especially that cavalry!

KoW exists, and League of Rhordia is a thing...

Human/Halfling army list in the Uncharted Empires book.

It's one of the army lists in the new Uncharted Empires book for Kings of War, which are mostly KoW-ified WHFB exports. While the Kingdoms of Man in KoW are supposed to be able to cover anything from phalanxes of not-Greeks to pike blocks of not-Landsknecht, the League of Rhordia is basically Empire with Halfling units.

And the list allows you to take an all-halfling army (no humans required).

WIPs of the wagon released:

Looks pretty massive, even considering it cost 24£.

I'm pleased that Westfalia isn't throwing out a bunch of unplanned stretch-goals when the funding seems to go beyond what they had expected. (Although it's hinted something more will show up at 25k if we get there). This actually has a chance to get shipped within a reasonable time period.

It feels to me (and I think they flat out said it initially) that they've blown through what they said they had planned initially. There is still a good chance they'll complete on time though since it looks like they've actually started and gotten good progress on almost all of them. Did kickstarter change their format? When I last looked at the front page of the KS, they had the stretch goals listed there but it looks like the graphic is gone. Is the battle wagon mentioned anywhere as a stretch goal beyond the most recent update?

There is a list of stretch goals on the main page. The wagon was unlocked there. It (as well as the cannon) is just stick figure art so far.

I have good hope for timely fulfillment despite big funding numbers. While there is a lot of different sculpts; as you say there is good progress made on many of them and the majority is either infantry or smallish goat-cavalry so they shouldn't provide much casting problems apart from their quantity.

The main thing I could see being problematic is the wagon due to it's size. I imagine it will need to be broken down in several parts.

Ah, thanks. I missed it in my scrolling down of the main page. I'm not sure how I could with such a detailed concept art image posted!



So, just to be clear, they've currently unlocked all the existing mentioned stretch goals, correct? I saw they posted in the comments that they have one or two more possibilities but they're still considering them.

That's my impression too. All the originally planned stretchgoals has been filled.

Though in the comments the official Wesfalia account says:

I do have 2 ready sculpted things still that I could add. I think I'd really have to if we reach 25

So, something more will be added at 25k£. Not necessarily halflings though.

Have they said what the War Wagon will be made out of?

PO-TA-TOES.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, build a War Wagon out of 'em.
