I don't normally like these indie kick starter models, but some of these models are pretty boss. I think I see more value in these guys as character stand-ins or as replacements for some of the LIzardmen's less solid models.

This line is also sort of funny to see as a real world example of why GW has embarked on its IP purge and moved towards things that are more defensible. This whole kickstarter is basically designed to piggy back on GW's brand.

I don't know much about kickstarters except lots of people get upset with them. How come have lofty stretch goals? What happens if they are not met? Are the molds not made yet already? So if the stretch goals are not met that means you can't buy those lovely minis? Why make molds if you can't use them? I just don't understand.

Also what is this for? Do they have their own game/rule system or are we suppose to use these with other games namely Kings of War and Fantasy/Age of Sigmar?

Wow, those are impressive! If WHFB was still a thing, I'd be sorely tempted... but some don't seem to be quite as good of a fit for AoS.

I saw mention of a Slann above, but I don't see it on the campaign page... am I just missing it?

That "chameleon skink" hero is especially awesome!

They can be used for Kings of War as Salamanders or as part of Forces of Nature. You can also try KoW for free if so inclined.
http://www.manticgames.com/free-rules.html

I will follow this project ... I could use some lizard cavalry, and ideally some large cavalry. (Edit. Their knights seem like they'd do as KoW large cav ... The mounts are large enough to pass.)

As for the "Not-a-Slann" they might mean the Supreme Sorcerer at the 72,000 Unlock.

Sweeet!

There is one person in my KoW group that plays Salamanders as an allied force - I think I will send him the lnk. (He has a weird army - Salamanders and Brotherhood... care to guess which edition of Warhammer brought him into fantasy gaming? )

I'd say it's perfect example of why GW's own mismanagement of their brand killed WHF - the reason there's an opening for these guys to make their army and actually have a realistic prospect of selling well is quite simple; the GW models are largely rubbish, have been for years, and will almost certainly remain so for years more and possibly forever.

And the idea that what they have now is "more defensible" is the same awful misunderstanding of the law that led them into the chapterhouse debacle - they can probably exercise slightly tighter control over trademarks over made up gobbledygook names, but "paladin in plate armour with lightning motifs"? Aye good luck stopping anyone making models of that if they wanted to - GW prevent people from "piggy backing" in one way and one way only; by making models good enough that it's not worth the bother to try and sell alternatives.

This stuff is spectacular but sadly I don't collect whole armies any more, I'm going to have to work on an old mate to try and get him to buy in so I can filch a few models for Mordheim

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

You all know I'm in.

Their coatl guard are muchmore interesting than traditional saurus guard. The fact that they're larger and wearing more ornate aztec looking armor is a plus for me. More in line with the old box artwork.

Like a lot of you, I'm waiting for those hero models to unlock!

Yodhrin I think its less to do with GW and more to do with Kickstarter and the internet. There have always been 3rd party model companies; but its only in the last span of years that many can home-grow through connections to market online; through crowdsourcing and through easier access to overseas factories.

Basically in the early days 3rd parties couldn't connect to a big market because they didn't own a highstreet shop chain and sourcing and distribution was harder. So they never got to any decent size. The internet lets them market to the world market and lets them make more of a business with far less overhead and not even a reliance to stock to masses of retailers (They can hook into the handful of big online names if they want).


Of course GW does have input, but its more the scale; because GW is huge their market is also huge and thus there's more market to poach customers off with alternate sculpts. Either for full armies or for a handful of replacement units here and there.
I suspect that if Warmachine continues to gain power it too will experience the 3rd parties making alternate sculpts of their stuff too.

I would buy the entire set if I wasn't broke either. Is this a Kickstarter thing only or can we buy them at a later date?

Most model KS aim to be commercial after their KS runs,

Of course its not always simple. Funding and fulfilment can be hard even if they fund really well (basically under or over funding in the extreme can have problems). Prices are also typically a lot higher for retail (KS tend to be discounted prices from retail); even if they do well they might stagger the commercial release so not everything will appear at the same time.

The other aspect is that you might have to wait a year or two; model KS tend to take a while to get the production done and complete KS orders.

the big pic is all the models together. They have them printed up to show as far as i recall. They had two of them painted by a comission studio as well, the skink heros.

They had a previous kickstarter for a line of chaos dwarves they still sell, i belive.

That's right ... magmhorin-dwarves So they do have reason to treat backers well, since they'd want further business. Still, other businesses have made choices that alienate customers, so that' no guarentee they will look towards the long term.

By the way, take a look at the MagmhĂ´rin Realm Gate. Magnificent. As I do have a KoW Abyssal Dwarves army, I'd love to have that terrain piece, but there's nowhere to store it.
