So I'm building my army and already have the minis for the Stretch Goals. So have dropped them to get this funded. Take a look link |

Those are great looking miniatures, but 8 figs for $30 USD is still awfully pricey…. |

That includes US shipping by Priority Mail ($5). |

Is that two different species? One groups looks human(oid) and the other has dog-like legs. |

You know, he may have started the other race. I'll find out and thanks for mentioning it. |

I especially like the ones with the heavy weapons. Are they available as a squad? |

Privateer4hire – Good catch. Chris said they are the next race in the pipeline. The guns are in the KS and the Star Army crew is on the way. The new aliens aren't available yet. That includes the 4 arm fellow in the back. |

Terrement – Not sure. I'm talking to the sculptor now about how he wants to handle it. |

Got a better deal on the casting so have canceled the KS to pass the savings on. More info here. link |

Optional Field, eight figures for $30 USD is a steal. He is literally selling them for $3.75 USD each. Consider for a moment the costs associated with everything involved… Per sculpt, he's probably paying out -at least- $300 USD USD. Most sculptors charge up to four times that amount. Then the caster needs about $400 USD just to get the miniatures ready for production. Pewter is $13 USD a pound right now, you can get roughly thirteen miniatures out of that. Now, I think $6 USD a piece is a fair price. Considering the biggest competition charges $25 USD for a single plastic miniature, I believe OP's prices are very, very low. He will never get rich from this. The likelihood of even making your money back is low… And you think $3.75 USD is far too much to pay? |

All the same, I really don't need any minis that represent human infantry ATM (never actually, but I do have figmentia so it may not turn out to be a long long time after all…), so I'm still going to live in hopes of seeing the bendy knee alien types come available in bundles that can be shipped to Finland for $25.
