Launch is scheduled for 10am tomorrow. Chibi Giants and Swarms. First day backers get a free swarm chibi mini of their choice.


(I assume it will launch at 10am tomorrow [16th May] ... KickStarter's computer didn't auto approve the project like it always does for me ... so currently and hopefully waiting for a human to press the okay button)

Good stuff I'll be in for a few always try to support Impact! if I can. The artwork for the Earth and Air Elementals is done but Tom could only afford to put 2 in the starting set I'm sure the others will be later goals.

Correct ... and we also have art already for the other 3 Giants (Fire, Cloud and Hill)

Under $1500 to go to funding in first 24 hours! Close up of some of the new Swarm packs

A great first 24 hours backers ... thank you! Less than $1,500 to go until funding ... very much looking forward to crossing that line hopefully by tomorrow morning.

I wanted to answer a few questions we've received.

I see 3 Giants and 2 Elementals ... will the rest be available? Answer yes ... the very talented Lorraine has already created art for the other 3 Giants (Fire, Cloud and Hill) as well as the other 2 Elementals (Earth and Air) and those figures will be coming as stretch goals every extra $1000. So if we reach $11,500 funding we will have unlocked the full sets of both of these large monsters.

Can you tell us what is the first stretch goal at $7500? We do not know yet. We are going to have a poll started as soon as the project funds to let the backers pick what miniature unlocks next.

The new swarms are difficult to see ... do you have better images of them?

Yes we do.

Here is the Chibi Weapons conversions pack next to a 30mm Chibi. $10 gets you all 11 weapons.



and here is a close up of the Nui-Koa that Nick Kelsch sculpted. I love these guys! All 4 are only $10.



We love interacting with our backers so if you have suggestions or questions please let us know!

We would love to cross the finish line in the next 24 hours so please give us a mention on your favorite social media source (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, forums or blogs) (and many thanks to those of you that have already shared the project like Orlando and Brandon ... very much appreciated!)

FUNDED! Thank you backers. VOTE here for the Giant to unlock for Stretch Goal #1!

In just over 3 days, we have reached our funding goal to make 12 new or resized Chibi Giants and Swarm miniatures. Thank you so much backers. We really appreciate your support.

But we still have 2 weeks left so lets get several more figures unlocked to choose from.

We are going to let you the backers pick which Chibi is unlocked next when we reach $7,500! Will it be the battle hungry Fire Giant or the magic wielding Cloud Giant. All you need to do reply to this update and let us know Fire or Cloud. The one with the most votes will unlock to be made when we reach $7,500.

Thank you again for helping us successfully fund these fun large scale Chibi miniatures!

Spreading the news

Just wanted to stop in and say that I've been working to get the KickStarter shared in as many media sources as I can to help us break through Stretch Goal #1.

I am grateful to all our backers for helping this project fund and will continue to seek out new ways to share the project online to help us unlock that Cloud Giant (and hopefully) more for Stretch Goal #1.

If you have any way to help us spread the word about the project as we approach our final week, thank you for any and all assistance!

Tom @ Impact!


spreading the word = more chibi goodies

you know it makes sense

Update #4 ℹ

Final Day! All Stretch Goal are revealed. 3 new items added to KickStarter

First off Chris and I wanted to thank all the backers that are reading this update.

This KickStarter has been one of the wildest of all rides for us that we've had. We've had over $2000 in cancelled pledges during this KickStarter ... fortunately we've had a matching amount of new pledges to offset that during the time since we funded (so thank you backers from the last 12 days for that). Enough cancelled pledges to easily have unlocked two stretch goals. KickStarter is a fickle beast and we are not trying to read too much into it. The good news is for all of you ... we funded! KickStarter does not allow cancelled pledges in the final 24 hours that would de-fund a project so these new chibi WILL get made and that is the good news for us.

As a thank you to all the backers we wanted to show you the art we had Lorraine do for us for all the stretch goals. We hate wasting Lorraine art ... so while the majority of these did not unlock ... we will definitely slow trying to work on them to have them made or maybe try to get the rest of them made with a future KickStarter. Chris and I really were excited by the art for this KickStarter and we are sorry that this project did not generate the buzz like any of our many previous Chibi KickStarters.

But before we show you the art ... we are adding 3 new unlocked items right now today in hopes that we can get to $7500 and unlock the Cloud Giant (which based on requests we also plan to make a 30mm version with longer ears for an Elven Mage).

New unlocks are:

Chibi Rooster Swarm (so $3 for 1, $10 for 4 and $15 for 6)



Cockatrice Mother and Chicks set - $10



50mm Pit Lord $10



Again ... thank you so much for all the backers that helped us fund this project today and I hope we can get a small surge of backers on the final day to fund the Cloud Giant and Elven Mage!

Here was the rest of the art from Lorraine for the project
