That game looks amazing! Congrats on a great project!
1. Do you have a solid production to continue to keep the support and production of the game going, Post KS Project?
2. Do you have a long term plan to keep this game in stores?
3. How do you handle support for this game?
4. Can we get anything out of the shop now?
Thanks in advance!

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.
Grot I'm sure that the creators will answer you much better to those questions, but I leave a comment that they put on the Kickstarter comment section:
"new factions and large expansions are planned after KS. Preparing one new faction (at least 9 different miniatures) took over 2 months. We have ideas for at least 5 years of development.."

IIRC, I thought the creators said the magical factions are optional add-ons, (although the gypsy is a free SG and has Divination powers)?
They are and I’m still getting the game. I just would much rather have stretch goals and extra content that I like. It just makes me a little sad that the best business for them (and they should absolutely be doing what makes them they most money) is focusing on vampires and succubus nonsense. I’ll still be happy if they eventually make more basic musketeers.
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity lasts forever.
Considering also your duty as a warrior you should not waver. Because there is nothing more auspicious for a warrior than a righteous war.

To everyone their own, but you are grousing about one of two visibly supernatural characters coming in the game. If you conceive of the contents of the game as a pendulum that swings between historical accuracy and the supernatural, the historical is turned up to 98/100. Throw a bone to those of us that want just a little more of what they promised on the tin man!

If I understand the question correctly, then yes, we do intend to support the game. We would love to make at least one large expansion (perhaps even a standalone module?) and a few more factions. Our other best known product is "By Fire and Sword", a regular miniatures wargame which we've been supporting for years now.
2. Do you have a long term plan to keep this game in stores?
Obviously we would like to keep selling the game for as long as people are willing to buy it, but please be advised we plan to only sell the game through our stores (including our online stores and our US branch) and participating brick and mortar stores.
3. How do you handle support for this game?
Again, I'm not sure if I understand correctly. If you mean customer support, then by all means we plan to deliver world-class customer support. If you mean expanding the product line, then I think I answered above. Realistically, future expansions and bands most likely will be crowdfunded too.
4. Can we get anything out of the shop now?
We used to sell a limited range of single metal miniatures for the game, but we took it down from the online store because by the definition they are duplicates of what you're getting in the box and it led to confusion.
Regarding the supernatural vs historical stuff: yes, we introduced several supernatural elements as stretch goals everyone gets. We apologize if someone feels short-changed by this. The Gypsy can be played as an Inconspicuous- Pickpocket- type character without the Divination, but if you think about it, Gypsies are actually very historical, and the Divination mechanics are quite fun gameplay-wise (we posted them in an earlier update), so consider giving her a shot. The Succubus, along with the vast majority of supernaturals, will be an add-on, not a stretch goal. This leaves Boruta, the Polish devil as a true supernatural stretch goal, but then it was hard to resist for the $166,600 mark. We hope you will still enjoy the other 35 miniatures (hopefully more, with even more stretch goals) you will find in the base game.
Mysterio probably you will be have final answer for that, when first parcels came to backers. I grab plastic, have no time but tons of unbild metal resin plastic crap.
Easy the most interesting add on for me. A special two devils are uber sweet to me . Surprised by lack of blood suckers. :( But heh maybe in future. I will not cry if we get twice folklore stuff more. But that the vision of creators and its cool .

Tons of great content had been added to the game recently. There are so many different versions of the game coming that one of them is bound to be good.
@Mysterio, I would put the odds of plastic miniatures of average CMON quality being delivered at 80%. For reference I think that the recent Confrontation KS has only a 10% chance of shipping miniatures of average quality comparable to CMON.
At a 80% chance of success, the all in plastic pledge is worth $264 (retail of 330*0.8), so worth the risk, but just barely. If you put the probability of quality miniatures being delivered at sub 80%, you shouldn't do the plastic all in.

@Mysterio The good thing that is not just one off KS exclusive or something. The guys from Wargamer Games Studio LTD wants expend that line for years. So from that side they want the best quality. I only worried a little by China producers. But sample looks really good and don't see point that they change that. I decided to grab plastic, metals still are tempted to me. I like that all prints job are in Europe, with metals all game will be from EU. Toss that coin god damned Some pictures, unlocked cards for Hot and Dangerous and first sketches of Golem and Rabbi:

This is it, the home stretch, less than 12 hours to go. If you're still on the fence, you may want to know a lot of extra stuff got unlocked, so now the base pledge gets you 43 high quality plastic miniatures (possibly more if we finish strong), vast majority of them in unique sculpts. See you on the other side!
Few hours left and I finally gave in and pledged for plastic all in and the metal hotties (since they have rules in the game). The subject of the game is interesting and a welcome change from the usual fantasy games.
I have the results of the last chamber: You are a horrible person. That's what it says: A horrible person... We weren't even testing for that.
Still on the fence, but leaning towards plastic all-in...

The Hot & Dangerous pack does not seem to be included within the all-in pledge and as only available in metal. Appears they are from a different designer and are being added to this game with rules only for friendly play.

but still cool
