For $100 the Daimyo Pledge gets you a Rising Sun core game as well as the Kickstarter Exclusive Phoenix monster, and any stretch goals we manage to unlock!

Please Take Note!

Based on past experience, we will be charging shipping after the Kickstarter concludes based on the actual costs incurred to ship. We will collect this via our pledge manager after the campaign ends. This is so we can be fair to all our backers as shipping is rarely one size fits all, and also give you more stretch goodies and possibly a choice of carrier options.

We will ship your rewards at our cost to our international hubs. Depending on where in the world you are, we will either ship to you from our hub in the UK (EU backers), China (Asia Pacific backers), Canada (Canadian backers), Australia (Australia and New Zealand backers) or Atlanta (USA and the rest of the world). Following is a list of rough estimates for shipping a standard game package (4kg volumetric weight). Keep in mind these are just estimates, and costs may rise based on weight increases from unlocked stretch goals and any optional buys you choose.
•USA: $10-$15 to most states. $30 to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
•CANADA: $10-$20 to most cities.
•LATIN AMERICA: $50-$60 to most countries.
•ASIA: $10 to China and Hong Kong. $30 to most other countries (we can't predict an estimate cost to Malaysia).
•OCEANIA: $13-$25 to Australia. $30 to New Zealand.
•AFRICA: $80 to most countries.
•EUROPE: $15-$30 to most countries.
• $35 to Norway, Finland, Estland, Lettland, and Latvia.
• $40 to Bosnia/Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.
• $55 to Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Romania.
• $60 to Iceland and Israel.
• $70 to Greece and Turkey.

Unfortunately, different import laws and customs from some specific countries have made it impossible for CMON to ship games to them.

*WE DO NOT SHIP TO:* Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan.

Oh, gak.

That looks killer.

Is it a board game, or are those just prototypes? They look awesome.

Absolutely stunning. I suspect something similar to Blood Rage?
(Meaning: Boardgame with miniature pieces that are not REALLY needed, but make the game visually awesome.)

Those are some fantastic minis! I love the Demon looking guy wit the naginata and the boy carried by the big brute.

The sculpts are by Studio McVey, I hadn't seen them yet but I knew they were working on them.

Rising Sun is a spiritual successor to Blood Rage. Same artist, same studio, same sculptors.

It's a game about honour, negotiation and warfare in a feudal Japan where the ancient gods (Kami) have returned to remake the empire.

Where Blood Rage's distant ancestor is Risk, Rising Suns distant ancestor is Diplomacy. Negotiation, alliances and warfare. In my own style

Are those 'production prototypes', 'resin masters' or...something else?

What kind of game is it?

Looks great.

"Spiritual successor to Blood Rage."

That's what they had to say about it.

I'll be getting this one. Miniatures would be awesome for Age of Sigmar, too.

Nice minis however those are resin prototypes not plastic production minis expect slight degradation in detail.

Already tried to many Kickstarters to think I'm coming away with high quality resin samples.

If the minis from BLOOD RAGE are anything to go by, the loss of detail should be slight.

The Kickstarter won't be until 2017 so this one is still a good bit out yet.

facebook video, seems to start off with Rising Sun

This looks great and I will definitely be pledging. I know that Cmon will fulfill this KS unlike my last Oriental fantasy board game Wrath of Demons!

Between this and the new flying frog feudal japan brimstone game, I should have me more japanese figures than I'll ever need.
At least my wife is willing to try it out due to the background.

Where do I pledge?

Kickstarter, but it's not been posted yet. I believe it is a couple months out yet. Cmon is completing and delivering the ks for xenoshyft, the others, and both arcadia quests right now.

reported to be heading to KS in 2017, but no indication whether it will be early or late

OMG those miniatures look awesome, so much good new stuff coming out of Gencon this year

Pretty damn cool, but I don't feel the need to get this so far. Vikings > everyone else. If it's Blood Rage reskinned it'll be a great game though.

*cough* Where is that HATE game full of cannibals and giants that'd work for sooo many skirmish settings *cough*

SMV finished up sculpting Rising Sun at the end of June/start of July and then moved on to HATE after that so it's behind Rising Sun.

The Rising Sun sculpts are by Remy Tremblay. Yannick Hennebo and Micheal Jenkins. I know JAG had made a start on HATE.

Thank You Dave C for crediting the sculptors. Where did you find that info?

thanks Dve!

Blood Rage was easily my favourite purchase of 2016. Anything Eric Lang and CMON work together on now is close to an auto-buy for me.

Those look astounding. I might need these for reasons.

Buddha boy riding on giant brute is a must have.

My last answer to this was eaten by Nurglings, but I'm thankful for it and JAG makes me even more excited. CMON has mostly good sculptors, but he is one great sculptor that I have only a few minis from. 2017 (so 2018 at the earliest) makes me bummed, but then again I have sooo much stuff (and more coming up ).

I just keep coming back to this thread, can't get over some of those mini's - nice to have the sculptor info now too, thx DaveC

That's pretty much head to head with Relic Knights

All previews are resin all gaming miniatures are plastic (PVC same as Blood Rage, The Others)

River Dragon



Daimyo, the Shinto and Bushi of the Koi clan
