Only 18 campaign.

Wave one is already almost gone, and the first two stretch goals are already unlocked.

Funded in 2 minutes. LOL

Over a quarter million now. I'm in for the core, it's great for supplying one young nephew with his own stuff to paint (two more nephews are a few years away from painting), and I siphon off creatures for 15mm gaming or to feed a couple of 28mm projects of mine. It looks like there's a bit of an Asian vibe to some of the figures this year, which are perfect for my Feng Shui and fantasy India projects.

I'm in for the core, and will probably buy some add-ons too.

Over $290,000 USD already.

I wonder when they will announce how much add-ons will cost?

No interest in the core set except the pack mule/donkey.

I pledged just $1. USD As usual, the core set doesn't appeal, so I'm getting my foot in the door to do add-ons later down the line.

From the comments, I think they broke KS (again), and they're having trouble keeping up to date with…updates and new add-ons and stretch goals.

They have managed to finally get an update through. Core set is growing rapidly and lots of add-on creatures are available already. Getting in for a $1 USD pledge level will get you access to participate and buy what ever you need/want.

I have barely started painting either I or II but I suspect I'll fail my save and pledge for III as well

Pledge is up to $21 USD now, for oneof the dragons and the Frost Giant pair… :)

Damon.

Pledge is $21 USD, although I just want Mousling Conan and Red Sonja and the Norse pair in a diorama with the Frost Giants.

Mousling? Did you say Mouslings!?!

Crap, I'm doomed…

Pictures on this thread.

Oh my, the bears are almost as tempting as the idea of Mouslings!

Over $500 USDK

Dang!

At $500,000 USD as of this posting and all the tiers are almost sold out. I was at work and didn't even have a chance to jump in. That said, not too worried about it. Not much I like in the current campaign, to be honest.

Saw the Mouslings…

Upped pledge to $20 USD on the assumption something else cool will come along…

Double W,

$1 USD pledges – Limited (438 left of 500)

Wave 3 shipping – Limited (1055 left of 1500)

Lord, will there be slots left in 18 days?

I'm sure they will add more slots. And I'm in.

They added the most recent tier a few hours in, so I suspect the will be able to accommodate a very large crowd. The first two campaigns each had over 14k backers

Werebear, werecroc and werebat up next for stretch goals…

More tiers have already been added, it opened with two "core sets" and one "thank you", the new ones will just be shipping in later waves.

Whew. I might have considered pledging for this, but as it happens I've actually painted a few bones figures over the last year, and I am unimpressed by the material and sculpts.

Don't particularly like the Bones plastics, but those Frost Giants are just what I've been looking for for my Norse giants in Gods and Mortals.

I actually think the Bones plastics are quite nice, at least for gaming on a budget. I found them a cheap way to acquire a lot of fantasy minis. I mix them with some old D&D minis and have a nice collection as a result.

I think a lot of detail gets lost in the smaller sculptors, but the larger figures look fantastic, and you can't beat the price. I'm also going for those giants.

I got real lucky I got in the 1st tier with only three left. But keep looking at it, people change their minds and the tiers open up again.

It's mostly the smaller, very finely sculpted female figures that have detail issues. In my experience, everything from average-male humanoid on up has good detail. And plenty small figures, like the rats, dragonets, have good detail.

Glad the KS is doing well and I was on board with the first one. However I have painted perhaps less than a dozen of the first of the initial Bones and I think I will just wait for the individual packs to show up in my local game store as I have too many figures to work on as it is. I might be moving in the near future and it will be hard to justify to the spouse buying more stuff when we are having to look at de-junking and getting rid of things in order to make a move easier. She already feels I have too many miniatures as it is. I know, she speaks heresy but one has to handle these things delicately.

Kallman, there's no dishonor in purging your pile of what you aren't going to use, especially when it's to fund minis you want. So long as your moving prior to September 2016, it's one less box of stuff to move!

Added more to my pledge for the "Bonehenge" stretch goal that should be met sometime tonight. My mouselings and frost giants need a place to play, er, fight! Now it certainly is a fun diorama piece to put together for Winter 2017, "Ragna-cheese"
