Update #2 (First post edited with relevant details)

WIP updates of the apprentice and thief
Hey guys, I just wanted to show the progress of the theif and apprentice thus far and see what you guys think of them.
Cheers,
Tre'
Update #3 (First post edited with relevant details)
Spoiler:
WOLVES!!!!
Turns out I have three wolves that I sculpted a long time ago and never released and being that Frodulf is unlocked and his name means " Wise Wolf " it is only fitting that these items be added to the rewards for this campaign to bring them back into production! thes are already molded and ready for production so there is no need for a stretch goal so they are unlocked as an instant Add-on to the campaign.
One set of three Wolves in metal may be added to your pledge for an additional $15.00 during this campaign Post campaign they will be $18.00. Their heads are interchangeable for a little added variety. The wolves are just a little larger than what a normal wolf would be next to a human, so not quite " dire wolves " but not quite normal either.
Sorry it is a really old image.
I also wanted to try to help out a friend who is running a KS for what looks to be a cool twist on Norse Mythology based fantasy. It is called Iron Edda now funding on Kickstarter and is in it's last 24 hours of funding. Have a gander over at:
Will ask in the comments later, but I assume those would be the same wolves we would have received in troll cast? They just never had a retail release?

Grey Wulf....... the one that I had sculpted was originally going to be very much like something that Kev just released so I am going back to the drawing board for it.
Hoepfully she can make an appearance before the campaign closes. I think the modular thugs might be a bit higher on the priority list though.
Automatically Appended Next Post: nope these are different wolves. they were made during the goblins campaign WAY back and just never released.

Can we get a scale shot for the wolves please? Next to a ruler AND a model, ideally!
And seriously, look at HF as a good distribution point for AU/NZ and probably a lot of the rest of the world. Royal Mail is dirt cheap compared to USPS these days.
Backed this at the retainer pledge and will hopefully do a couple add ons. Wish I could do more but my hobby budget is stretched pretty tight at the moment and I still have minis from the last 3 RBG kickstarters to finish painting.
Also wanted to say that as a fan it's great to see Artemis helping Tre with this campaign. I think past Kickstarters have been hurt a bit by the difficulty of trying to run a campaign single handed and I hope that Tre plans on getting a team together to help the SDSP too because it would be great to see that reach the levels of success it deserves.

The add-ons have won me over - backed to get those - they look great and this way I am sure to get them rather than waiting for regular retail and forgetting/ being lazy
I've backed at the $55 level. I am not sure I strictly need these for gaming, but I know I'm going to love painting them, and I'm sure they'll find their way in to Frostgrave or Dragon Rampant once painted.
Since I'm getting Frodulf I decided to go ahead and pledge for Eyrjvindr and the Apprentice. I think these 3 could make a great Magus Conclave for KoW Varangur

Thanks for that, Wehrkind! Would look very nice next to Frodulf, I think
I need to stop watching this campaign as looking at all these beautiful RBG minis I just ended up buying two from the webstore (Magda from Afar and Howling Gorvhogguth, to pair with the ones I'm getting here)
Spoiler:
Also, it actually helped to look at the Hasslefree site a bit here (Artemis' section) even though I'm in the US, since some of the pictures are actually more current (it shows Gorvhogguth's hand on the horn, for instance). Also looks like Hasslefree has or will have very soon almost the whole range, which is awesome!

Tre, is this for a game system where the characters can only carry one type of weapon? I'm looking at a lot of this for roleplaying where characters usually tote around at least a melee and a ranged weapon.. If it's for a system that doesn't allow it, I get it.. but if not maybe it's worth considering at least an add-on of a bow/quiver bundle of backpacks or adventuring packs with crossbows strapped on. I'd buy those by themselves as a matter of fact (especially with Reaper's boneyard being extinct). Anyway, this is shaping up nicely and I will probably end up getting some pieces from this either way but it'd be nice if you can work that in

Ah that's an excellent pic! Are those 25mm bases? The middle guy is just perfect for me if so

I don't believe these miniatures are specifically for any particular game system, and I'm pretty sure that they're not for the SDSNRBG project either!

Yup, all 28mm bases unless otherwise stated. These 3 actually fit just fine. They're bulky, and the champions helmet addition makes him look bigger than he actually is but other than they they don't have any of the wide stance issues that sometimes need fixing. I love the hornblower myself, great figure.

It's gently direct at Frostgrave players, where you can indeed only have the weapons you started with. However it's not specifically for that system, hence the extra choices. And if Tre doesn't make new backpacks/bundles, then we will So someone will sort you out for that

Glad to hear it. The more options the better I tend to provide figures for as many adventurers in campaigns as possible so having something like that to lean on as a resource would be fantastic.
I don't suppose there's any chance this is one of those things that could be chucked in quickly/easily though by some stroke of wild luck?

To the KS? Probably not, there's only a few daysleft and time spent on making things like extra is time not spent making the core figures for stretch goals.
Either Tre or Kev, or both if you're really lucky, will undoubtedly make some backpacks and bundles sometime soon though

backpacks and such would not be too much trouble to make, but I am not sure they will be a priority for this KS. We shall see though once all of the planned goals are met. Which seems very likely based on the funding thus far.
and thanks Arty for the help out!

I completely understand It makes sense.. it is probably why nobody really has any too though. I can see them being one of those things that is doable but never takes priority because it's such a small thing. Hopefully everything funds and you do get time or if not, maybe afterwards
From Tre (I'm not trying to get around the word filter, I'm just trying to convey what Tre said. You get the idea)
Hey everybody! Well Red Gunhiildr is funded and we are well on our way to funding the NEXT stretch goal which shall be Pretty Laerke Arvidsdottir the female ranger. She will unlock as an add- on option when we reach $11,000.00. I will get WIP s**ts of her posted tomorrow by mid day.
(He means to say "WIP shots of her.")
I say this with love, Tre, but sometimes you are the keystone cops of Kickstarter. I half expect you to resculpt all the heads a day before this ends.
/raises pledge.
