By "pledge manager" I'm guessing it means there might be a way to add to your pledge, not sure if it would be a traditional one like BackerKit though (the fee / percentage is not insignificant).
Love what we got unlocked here! Not sure if the Shaman and apprentice will be as "clothed" as I was expecting for Norse but if they won't fit with my others I'll just select two other models. Definitely picking both wizards and the bear, regardless!

I backed for a solo because I'm not at a point where I'm sure what of this is going to be helpful with the games I've got lined up and all my other models.. I know it's all going to be quality but so much was WiP that it was really hard to gauge what's what..
Sorry this is late. I had wanted to try to make a bit more progress on them before posting But figured waiting two more days ( off tomorrow for Easter ) was not going to be helpful. So here are the current WIP for this Kickstarter.
Jorik is on the far right of the group shot and is pictured as well on his own front and back.... Something is just not sitting well with me on this design. I am not sure what it is though.
The two berserker shamans are not yet clothed because i was considering making two separate versions of the characters. One skyclad version and one Bear cloak version. Either way i am going to be casting them in resin before cloaking them.
The thief is getting two interchangeable hand options. One for a dagger and the second will be a torch.
The Bear still needs his face. That has turned out to be harder to get right than anything else about the sculpt thus far.
And then finally the Archer female needs her hood and hair and quiver and various bits and the Mage apprentice needs her hair and hood as well. I hope you guys like these thus far!
Cheers,
Tre'

Finished Red Gunhildr, Pretty Laerke, Apprentice, and Bear!
Hey All! Well at last i have finished the Apprentice and Red Gunhildr and the bear. I have decided to make a new version of Jorik and see which one I prefer. As soon as it is at a showable state I will post an update with that figure. For now though the rest of the figures are off to Valiant for moldmaking! Hopefully soon i will have the resin masters for approval and we can really get the show on the road. i am hoping for an end of May delivery date but we shall have to see what comes.
Until then have a gander at these sculpts! I hope you guys like them!
Cheers,
Tre'

I hope that the original version of Jorik remains available. The new version is still going to be awesome, I know, but I was excited to get the original one to replace Svartulf the Savage as my RBG counts as Conan.

I figured it was worthwhile to pull this thread back up and post the recent update that gives dates for the pledge manager.
Update #21
hey yall just wanted to drop a quick line to let yall know that the Pledge Manager will open this week and will close by friday the 24th of June! I have finished Jorik the Mighty...... I did not like the head I had on him so I changed it and I am VERY happy with the current result! I have only now to finish the heads for the thugs and the hirdmen and all the sculpting will be done and the figures shipped to their respective molding / casting contractors. i expect production to be done within a month so fulfillment will slip into July but hopefully not further than that..
as ever thank you all so much for your patience and support and encouragement!
Cheers Yall!

Just wanted to pass long the news that the recently kickstarted Njorn items are now available for pre order through the Red Box Games store. Estimated to be in stock by the 8th of July!
Please bear in mind that the Thugs are shown as WIPs the left hand sprue is not yet finished. I will be posting the updated pictures of those figures by monday.
Also note please that the Pre orders will be shipped AFTER the Kickstarter orders are shipped. I am taking the pre orders now so that I can put in the order to cover both kickstarter rewards and whatever other orders might come in so that there is not a long delay between shipping the kickstarter rewards and regular orders.
Thanks as always!
Cheers,
Tre'

Hey Tre, I just placed an order on your site but realized I wanted to add a model! Sent you a PM, just thought I'd note it here in case you're subscribed to email alerts from the thread . Cheers!

I'm not really sure what the status is on this but I don't want to miss the PM when it's live and cause problems. I just got my Black Plague models though so definitely no shortage of things to paint and fiddle with while I wait
)
but if they won't fit with my others I'll just select two other models. Definitely picking both wizards and the bear, regardless!
I think you will like the replacement better. It is essentially the same figure and costume with a better pose.
