I saw this on Facebook and had to share.

These are apparently inspired by Medieval marginalia artwork of rabbits going to war, attacking monks and doing all sorts of, well, un-rabbity things. Personally, I'd like to see the $9k stretch goal unlocked. Snail cavalry are brilliant!

These are metal models for those concerned.

Pledge rewards:

Somewhat preposterously, I'm interested. I've found myself in the market for lots of metal bunnies for a stupid KOW idea, and as much as I like Eureka's samurai rabbits I'm not convinced I can get them in enough bulk nor am I sold on wanting to do a samurai army on top of doing a war-bunny army.

So thanks a lot

Happy to spread the word, Boss Salvage! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by your KoW bunny project.

Looks like the campaign funded already, so it is on to the stretch goals! I am going to back for 10 rabbits in the hopes that the rabbit knight becomes available.

Woah! I made a study of those illustrations for a different project. Temped to add these to my Bretonnian army just for the nostalgia.

Some Reaperites are only interested "one of each" of the sculpts (and don't want to pay $120 to get them), so if you're at the higher levels, send a direct message to anyone who seems interested if you want to split a pledge.

Under $700 to unlock the rabbit riding a snail! That would be 33 miniatures for $38 for the $30 pledge level and US shipping. Lagomorphs for everyone!!!

So this blew up!

I'll update the OP with new details, but it is on course to unlock all stretch goals!

The campaign is sitting at 205 backers (45 more to unlock snail and rabbit basing accessories) and $13,765 ($3,200 from the last SG).

9 days to go, so plenty of time to hit those goals!

How are you figuring 33 figures for $38? Looks like maybe 13 for that price. 33 I couldn't resist.

Still tempting. Ungores!

Oops! Typo!

Friedrich in the KS comments: "When I studied about manuscripts at university, I read that the hares and snails were supposed to represent both "the world turned upside down", but especially sexuality. For the monks, those marginalia seemed to be a warning not to give in to such desires, even if they come in with a vengeance...

Green of one of the unlocked SG's!
