Kickstarter Alkemy will start monday 09/25/17 8.30pm french hour

The team Alchemist-Miniatures has the project to launch after the summer holidays, a second crowfunding project via Kickstarter in order to finance:
- A basic box to start Alkemy
- The packaging of starters, blitz lists and individual blisters
- New products to be delivered in 2018 for the birth day of the 10th anniversary of Alkemy, including a figurine sculpted by one of the founders of the game ...



Our project started at the end of 2013, our objective was that Alkemy could be sold again in store. To achieve this goal we have passed several stages:
- Acquisition of the Alkemy license
- Design a new "Alkemy Blitz" game format in 180 points
- Relaunch the French community
- Create 2 new factions: funding by first Kickstarter in 2015.
- To distribute the game through by a store network.

This last step requires a second investment and that is why we will solicit you financially by this second Kickstarter.

Passing through a distribution network means that we produce a packaging and this entails additional costs.
We will discribe our offer to:
- Create a basic box that will allow to have "all in one" to play with friends, family, club ... This one will not address to all the current players because they possess all elements to play Alkemy . The box will take up existing figurines from the Khalimane and Triade de Jade factions. This box will address new players who will be able to discover the game, and have all the game elements to start playing Alkemy.

- Create starter boxes for one faction

- Create “Blitz list” boxes (A starter without having to spend for the game elements that the player already owns). The faction boxes will address players who want to go further in the game by discovering new factions, new game strategies, or collecting the figurines of their favorite faction

- The unit sales of blister-size figures will allow players to vary the figures played and optimize their game strategy, or to complete their collection.

This packaging represents design costs:
- Drawing
- Printing of different box formats

Create game decors and mats included in the base box
- Creating the design concept (illustration)
- Printing of decorations
- Playmat in poster form

Translation of the game DE
- We are going to have a partnership with a German distributor to distribute Alkemy in the German-speaking countries
- Relook all our profile cards in GB and DE

We don't forget players who have supported us since the beginning of our project. The Kickstarter will be able to edit new miniatures.
Here is a first look at a new concept: the knowledge collector for the sub-faction of Cobra Guard.

Nice to hear You are still fighting on! Will follow that campaign closely. A starter box and a choice of languages is what this game needs!

A starter box will be in french, in english and in german language

New concept for this ks.

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: 3 Crow Wind-Warriors for Aurlok Nation!
They have been waiting for a long time. They are quick and stealthy! Movements of 5 inches for walking, 7 inches for charge attack and 12 inches for running, they possess the skills:
- Ranger that allows a free walk per game round
- stealthy which allows to deploy after the deployment of the opponent, and to be charged attack by opponents to 4 inches or less
An incredible profile for moving on the battlemat, but not only. 9 life points, 4 in Reflex, 4 in Combat and 11 in Defense, they will also be good fighters with a Damage table of 2 2 2 3 3 4.

You may even have a blitz list in 179 points with Tecum Seh, the 3 Crow Thunder-Warriors and the 3 Crow Wind-Warriors. A magnificent themed list with a troop in motion. The blitz list will be available on the KS page ;-)



Design by Tobias

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: A battlemat in starter box!
This battlemat will be include in starter box or add-on. On a "desert" theme, it will be the scene of the fighting between the Khaliman Republic and the Triad of Jade. In 24 x 24 inches (just over 61 cm), the carpet will be printed and folded to fit into the starter box. At the end of week, we'll show you the scenery that will go with the battlemat ;-)

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Litam Bint Sorhna for Sorority & Fadela !
With the Mornea chronicles of 2016/2017 (organized game on Alkemy forum), the players unlocked the sub-faction of Khalimane Republic: Sorority & Fadela, with the first character: Litam Bint Sorhna. She is an alchemist of the outer circle, she has with her an ondin, a small creature invoked from the waters components. She has 2 formulas. The first one will target friendly djiin, genii and ondins to make them attack every ennemy within 1 inch, with no possibility to react. The second formula lets you invoke two extra ondins. 4 AP, 9 Health points, Reflex 6, Defense 12, Litam Bint Sorhna will be hard to hurt, especially if the 3 ondins are on the table !




Concept by Louis, colorization by Stéphane Lamirand

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: 3 ondins !
These creatures invoked by Litam Bint Sorhna are fragile : 6 Health points and Defense 6, but they should we able to defend themselves with Combat 3 and a 1 2 2 2 3 3 Damage Table. They are "fearless" (they ignore The frightening miniatures), and they also have the "Servant" skill that allows them to fetch the components from the table and bring them back to their alchemist. The "alchemical decline" will cause them to lose 1 Health point per round. It can be avoided if an alchemist spend an alchemical stone. The ondins are going to be a valuable help on the fights to come. :-)

Concept by Tania Sanchez Fortun

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Nas~Far'k, defender of Dal~Eth for Naashtis !
Warning, a heavyweight hero will arrive on the battlefield ! Nas~Far'k is a Pes-Hat, a large size Naashti (size 3), as well as Choker of Dal~Eth. 11 Health pionts, Combat 6, Frightening 14, a 3 3 4 4 5 6 Damage table but this is these two skills that will make the difference. Projection will allow him once per round to perform a free combat roll in opposition to an opponent's miniature. If successful, the difference between the two rolls will be the distance in inches that the opposing miniature will be pushed away, losing as many Health points. Provocation will allow him once per round, to target 2 enemy miniatures located at max 3 inches from him. These 2 miniatures will not be able to move any more except if they engage Nas~Far'k. Born for fighting, he will spill blood and tears across the battlefield ! The miniature will be a 3D sculpture...



Design-prototype by Nicoleblond and Tobias

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Scenery sets for starter box!
A basin, a well, a building, 2 walls and 1 temple will constitute the 6 sceneries set that will be the starter box. Using the same graphic theme as the "desert" battlemat, they will increase your immersion to your games. This set will simulate perfectly a Khaliman Republic's environment. These sceneries sets will be printed on thick paper (300 g) and pre-cut. You'll just have to unpack them, the assembly will take 5 minutes.

Concept by Thomas Verguet

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Spume apprentice for Utopia!
He's an alchemist from the outer Circle. He posses 3 skills : "Feint" that allow him to change his combat card by the inactive one. This skills apply AFTER the combats card are revealed, tacital help in a lot of situations. "Mythical devotion" that allow him to "guard" (take the position of a friendly miniatures within 2 inches when targeting by a spell, a shot, a charge...) legendary hunters. He only have one formula : Nevoa that will summon a fog area (the size of a profile card). Miniatures inside the area will be hidden, only visible by the miniatures inside the area. The area cuts the lines of sight. This formula can be cast up to 6 inches away from the sprume apprentice :-)


ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Interview with Nicoleblond by Mellal
They have been a lot of announcements in July at the annual final and Mellal, the winner of the final, wanted to know more about the kickstarter and about the other projects.The interview is to be read here: http://alkemy-the-game.com/interview-with-nicoleblond-by-mellal

Concept by Benoît Dellac

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Jailor for sanctified
An elite profile for the sanctified faction. 3 AP, 10 Health points, Combat 4, a good DAM table : 2 3 3 3 4 5, Frightening 13, and Sadicstic skill. When an enemy miniature is entangled by the retarius or the sanctified alchemist's formula, the Jailor may strike the entangled miniature freely once per round. When you know that an entangled miniature loses 2 points of Defense, the Geolier will be able to deal a lot of damage easily.









ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Miniatures for the Starter boxes
Six miniatures for Khaliman Republic: Araoui, Sorhna oracle, 1 ghulam, 2 jarayas and 1 meharist. A blitz list led by the terrible Araoui, which can be played two different ways : in "diplomat" mode to play scenarios and making himself difficult for enemies to attack, or in "shooter" mode where he can shoot up to 4 times per round, up to 25 inches, and ignore 2 covers per round. At his side, Sorhna oracle with 2 formulas that will upgrade the friendly miniatures. Uchronia which allows to reroll a dice and premonition which allows to strike back even if the miniature does not posses any AP. The 2 jarayas, which are basic troops with fairly strong characteristics, the ghulam, an elite warrior with long reach and an impressive DAM table (3 3 4 4 5 6), and the meharist who is the fastest miniature in the game, walk to 6 inches, charge attack to 9 inches and ca run 20 inches.
To face them, the Triad of Jade aligns 8 miniatures with Captain Lee-Ping, a warrior hero and his terrible sequential attack (which can cause up to 8 DAM for only 1 AP), he can kill a lot of your enemies with this skill. The formidable alchemist of the long breath, with an offensive vocation thanks to his two formulas. The enemies will be slower and will do less damages, or they will fall to the ground without being able to reply : 2 devastating formulas. To support them, four militia-lancers with the famous long reach wich will take advantage of the enemies on the ground, and the 2 militia-archers who will be able to shoot up to 30 inches.
The miniatures will be made of plastic, they will be very easy to assemble, without glue point (except perhaps 1 or 2 khaliman tails), and will fit perfectly into the appropriate black plastic bases. Easy and quick assembly. You will be able to deliver your first game quickly. If you prefer to have painted miniatures on the table (which is always more enjoyable), again, the time should be short because those 14 miniatures to paint are all you need to play !

Concept by Benoît Dellac

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Toh R'ok for Waga Clan, sculpted by Allan Carrasco
Warning ! A heavyweight hero comes in Waga Clan! Toh R'ok costs 50 points, 4 AP, a Defense of 8, a Combat of 6, a monstrous DAM table: 3 4 4 5 6 7, he cumulates leader (he always throws the white dice for initiative and can transmit his Spirit of 8 to the friendly miniatures in 8 inches around him), Tough 2 (it will reduce the DAM he takes by 2 points, always with a minimum of 1 DOM) and Rage (when it is in red life point, it acquires Expert Brutal who will give him 1 bonus die if it plays a brutal combat card). Push yourself out of the way, here is Toh R'ok! Alkemy will be 10 years old in March 2018, we asked Allan Carrasco to be able to sculpt Toh R'ok to celebrate the event. Who Says Heavyweight Sculptor of the Same Category :-)


KICKSTARTER ALKEMY: Shipping charges
We looked for less costly shipping solutions.
Thus, we will propose the following shipping costs for the starter box:
France / Belgium / Luxembourg : €6 - Europe (Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom) : €10 - Other european countries / USA : €15 - Rest of the world : €18
If you take only few miniatures, the shipping costs will be cheaper, example:
France / Belgium / Luxembourg: between €2,50 at €4,50 - Europe (Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom) : between €3 at €5 - Other european countries / USA: betwenn €3,50 at €6,50 - Rest of the world: betwenn €3,50 at €6,50


KICKSTARTER ALKEMY: The language versions
The entire kickstarter and Alkemy range will be available in English, French and German :-)

This all looks very exciting. I'm really excited for more Aurlok. Do we know who will sculpt the crow wind warriors?

Some really lovely models and intersting terrain as well.

This Aurlock Toh R'ok will be sculpted by Allan Carasco

Well, no matter how excited I am about this project, two questions are biting me hard:

1) What kind of plastic that would be?

and

2) Who would be making these miniatures in this plastic?

Without answering them the future hangs in the balance. No, seriously, these are very important questions and I will eagerly await for any answer.

The company is Zibobiz
It was the company that produced the Kraken miniatures for Alkemy in 2008

ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Triadic Emissary for scenario book
The triadic emissary will be the first miniature offered to contributors. It will be used for scenario book.
It took time and numerous clashes so that the Celestials of the Wan Moon perceive all the interest of a corporation like that of the Sheikhs. Many spies working on their own were sufficient to provide information beyond their needs, yet immense. But what they did not do was to influence events.
When it finally appeared to them, a school was created within the Black Magistrates, the school of the Stone on Water. There were formed the first emissaries, distant heirs of the knowledge of the astral snake. Rhetoricians and cartographers, therefore, their role is not to spy, as is often mistaken, but to create the circumstances that can give an advantage to the Empire. Thus, unlike the ambassadors and official figures, they rarely wear their extravagant outfits but prefer to dress in the black of their administration of origin.

Jiàn Kè has taken advantage of all the teachings of her teachers, but she has added a personal touch to it. His talents enable him to pass as well for a man as for a woman. Her fellows themselves come to doubt her sex. It is only natural that she (or he) was appointed to investigate what was happening south of Coelon and to reestablish the lost smuggling counters ...






ALKEMY KICKSTARTER: Scenery set pack
Are you not interested in the starter box? But battlemat and scenery sets interest you? You will be able to acquire the battlemat, the scenery sets, the scenario book, the objective pawns, individually or by "pack" :-)





Work in progress

We talked earlier about T'oh Rok, the incredible hero of the Waga Clan. For the 10 years of the game, we appealed to Allan Carrasco to make this sculpture.

Great! Thank You for this information, it really should feature prominently on the Kickstarter page, with an example of their product, both painted and "as-comes". Clearly denoting plastic and resin miniatures is already a good thing.

And... miniatures in plastic (plastic base) with profile cards should really be miniatures in plastic (plastic base included) with profile cards

Thank you for your remarks, We take good note

We have just launched a second kickstarter to fund a starter box for 2 players, with all it takes to play Alkemy Blitz: miniatures, game stuff, battlemat, scenery sets and scenario book.


For those who already own the game, we offer new miniatures, starters (miniatures with game stuff) and / or blitz lists (miniatures without game stuff), and also the 10th anniversary miniature of the game sculpted by Allan Carrasco.







If you are not interested in the game, it is still possible to take the first contribution (€1) and select one or more miniatures, a battlemat, objective pwans, ... The smallest contribution is invaluable to the success of this project. We need everyone, thanks to those who will support us :-)

Spread the word very very loudly :-)
Alkemyyyyyyyyyyy
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/909359300/alkemy-blitz-starter-box

I like the look of that little terrain set you have there. Floating lion sorceress is also pretty sweet. Is she out somewhere?

Looking forward to seeing these on the shelves. I've picked up bunches of the older jade triad (13 of the 5 person boxes) to build a kings of War army with. If your going with the same caster and materials then I am really excited because every fig was great. Loving the concept artwork as well.

all miniatures of our web shop are accessible by the kickstarter. You pledge 1 euros you add the amount of the figurine wanted

Hi alchemists, a very big thank you to everyone, the project is funded thanks to your support :-). The path does not stop there, there are 13 days to go through many levels, and the next one will finance the Starter Aurlok and the Blitz Clan Waga list packaging... and the free miniature of the triadic emissary :-)

Spread the word very very loudly: Alkemyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :-)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/909359300/alkemy-blitz-starter-box

Come on, it's a week ...

We will unveil sculptures every day
We start with the 3 crow wind-warriors







Accustomed to circumvent the enemy lines and watch for the movement of the opposing troops, they come today to deliver a joyful message. They saw in the plains a triadic emissary. She joins the ranks, and is ready to live scenarios of the scenario book campaign, and other adventures you will make her live :-)

Now is the time to support us

Well, I was hoping for a more dynamic progress of this campaign, going at least to 250 backers before taking a long pause in the middle. Apparently there is a significant KS fatigue or a skirmish game overload going on. :( Anyway, these wind-warriors are looking very good, true to the artwork and the description.

Alkemy!
