I'm not a WarmaHordes player and haven't been following this KS, but I see some potentially nice enough gatorman figures and some other stuff. Are they allowing $1 pledges and a later upgrade to the full kaboodle in the pledge manager? I don't have the cash right now, and would like to see what the actual costs to ship to Australia are because the way their estimate is worded it seems that it'd be entirely inaccurate at this stage of the game.

Privateer Press has said that yes, you will be able to pledge at the $1 level, or any level, and then increase your pledge in the Pledge Manager after the campaign is over. They have also said that they will count funds added in the Pledge Manager into the total for purposes of unlocking stretch goals, which is a nice touch and will hopefully lead to more unlocks. However, they have also stated that the Pledge Manager will not be open for a particularly long time. I believe they said it would be open until the end of April, but I do not recall exactly.

In other news, Privateer Press has posted a pair of videos to address people's concerns about the rigidity of the miniatures:
-The first one can be found here , and shows a painted Undercity miniature, the level of detail on it and how well the paint job survives being bent.
-The second one can be found here , and shows a prototype for the new Black River Irregulars expansion set which is coming out this year. This new plastic is more rigid, but will hold the same level of detail, and is the same plastic that will be used in the Widower's Wood miniatures.

I hope this puts some people's concerns about the quality of the miniatures to rest. The campaign is moving ahead by leaps and bounds, with us currently less than $1000 away from unlocking the Boss Gatorman Bokor and moving towards the 10 Blowgun Bog Trogs. If anyone would consider pledging or spreading awareness of the campaign in its last day, it would be appreciated.

**update**

The Boss Gatorman Bokor has been unlocked, raising the current model count for the deluxe pledge to 97 miniatures. The next stretch goal to be unlocked will be the Blowgun Bog Trogs, and a stretch goal for two additional Gatorman Bokors has been added at the $375K mark.

Thank you for the info . A short PM period isn't a problem, but this way I should be able to see an actual shipping cost.

PP posted a video of their not-yet-released Undercity expansion figures, which show a much higher rigidity, that they say should be how the Widowers Wood figures have as well.

As a fair few people expressed concern because of the bendiness of the undercity models, this may be of interest

**Update**

The campaign is in its last 7 hours now, and has passed the stretch goal to unlock 10 Blowgun Bog Trogs, which will be added to all deluxe and higher pledge levels, raising the total to 107 miniatures:
Spoiler:


The next stretch goal is another set of three Kickstarter exclusive bonus missions, and we are currently just over $7000 away from unlocking those. Beyond that is the Swamp Horror, two additional Bog Trog Mist Speakers, two additional Gatormen Bokors, and the newest addition, which is a second Deathless.

**Update**

We are in the last three hours of the campaign now and another three additional scenarios have been unlocked:
Spoiler:


We are now in the final push for the Swamp Horror miniature, which is a little more than $10K away. Although the odds may seem slim there is still a possibility it will be unlocked. If it is not unlocked now, it is very likely that it will be unlocked through increased pledges in the pledge manager after the campaign ends.


If anyone would like to get in on the campaign, or even is on the fence waiting to decide, now is the time to get in on it! Even pledging $1 now leaves you with the decision to increase your pledge later, and means you don't have to worry about missing out on all the great Kickstarter exclusives.

Last two hours, the extra missions are unlocked, and it's just a question of getting the Swamp Horror at this point.

**Update**

The Swamp Horror is unlocked! That brings the total to 108 miniatures, including one each of all the Blindwater heavy warbeasts so far!


There are still 15 minutes left in the campaign, so any last minute pledgers should head over there now!

**Update**

And with that the Kickstarter is over. The campaign finished with a pledge total of $353,943, and 108 miniatures unlocked for the deluxe pledge level. With any luck even more will be added as people increase pledges in the pledge manager.

The end of campaign post can be found here.
