Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I'm really hoping there will be pledge options that allow for some degree of pick & choose, rather than just whole army pledges. I don't need entire Northmen and Undead armies, but I'd like at least two each of the bowmen and basic zombies, and I want to support this to make sure it gets made.

@Yodhrin Usually, there is the "I want everything" pledge where you also get freebies, and the "I only want a couple of stuff" plegdes where you only pick what you want.
@Phobos Surely with some Freedom and bald eagle delivery. Or just like any other country ( exept North Korea maybe )

It is really nice to see two handed spear poses. Any chance of one alternate shield arm pose? It is nice to have some arms down or the shields held out away from the body (like in other Fireforge kits).

This was the shipping arrangements for their Amazon’s KS
We have two warehouses to serve our customers, one in Europe and one in the United States. If the project will be founded we will be ready to ship the products anywhere in the world, with a tracked shipment where possible.
Shippings will be free for customers of European Community, United States, Canada and United Kingdom (still part of the EU for shipping therms).
We will be able to ship to Rest of the World countries at the cost of 15€ to add by paypal at the end of the campaign when we will contact you to send the invoice.
Whether that applies again or not we should know by the end of the week as they’ve said they’ll have the KS preview page by then.

Models look good, though I’m not sure we need yet another fantasy world and game rules. It seems to me that we are kind of saturated with game systems right now and even popular franchises are having a hard time competing. (Halo space battles, anyone)

Subject: [Kickstarter] Forgotten World - Fireforge's new fantasy range
I had promised myself no more buying models till I have all my current models painted, I hope I can get my Mongolians painted in time for the delivery date of the Kickstarter (which to be fair are in my experience usually delayed).
12 to a box is perfect for Dragon/Lion Rampant, hopefully the cavalry are 6 to a box.
The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

The Oathmark human kit is up for preorder now. I like the Oathmark kits more than the Frostgrave kits.
I really hope there is a zombies only pledge for this KS. I have way too many humans to paint up already but I’d love to get my hands on all the zombies.

Those horses are also going to end up in some Hexwraiths as they match the new night haunt designs better.
Box sets contents are confirm at 12 Infantry or 6 Cavalry but they already said they will be cheaper than their current boxes due to lower figure count.
Anyone else thinking about making undead Centaurs?

€16 for 12 Infantry or 6 Cavalry. EDIT - sweet there's 18 peasants! (teach me to actually look at the picture properly) things just a bit cheaper Given I was hoping for €15 so I can live with that. I'll probably go for the non game €128 pledge and add a few bits but I haven't had a proper look at the price comparison to the €144 starter set yet.
Characters models look great and 1 of each added to higher tiers when unlocked.

Just seen that now thanks - even better, makes sense as there is no command frame for them so it's 3 sprues anyway. That puts the Living Dead Warriors 1 sprue under but it's balanced out by the Knights that have 4 sprues.

I think you will be much better off with a much lower goal amount that unlocks only the first northmen box and the first zombie box. It is much easier to eat an elephant one small bite at a time. Most people will see the huge funding level, realize it will never reach it, and leave. There have been a lot of small companies that have tried to eat the elephant all in one bite, and it never works.
All the best.

Well I'll be in at Soldier to begin with since I was planning on getting four boxes anyway, but that could expand rapidly if they hit the fantastical race stretch goals and those are to my taste. The "Folk Rabble" is, I assume, a non-zombified version of the peasants, and I'd have one of those as well for sure(if it included non-zombified dogs and maybe even a couple of kids on the sprue as well, I might buy a couple).
I really appreciate that they're giving people free choice of boxes with each pledge level.
EDIT: Eh, I don't think that applies so much here Gallahad - Fireforge aren't GW size, but they've been producing plastic kits for years. This isn't some random startup venture with one or two dudes trying to leap right in to producing full plastic armies as their first project.

I will also be in for Soldier, I am a bit sad to see that the outside part of the shield arm of the northmen Infantry is flat though.
I also hope that the Fantasy Horses are wider than their historical horses. The Historical horses are fine height wise but they are a bit thin at the waste meaning they are hard to kit bash.
