Hey all

Not a massive amount to report this week, we are still smashing out models and moulds and have increased shifts in the mould room so that we are now running 6am-10pm Monday-Friday.

Someone asked for a scale pic of a phoenix last week so here you go!

The first time we printed it this was about half this size and it looked cool but we thought lets go BIGGER. So we did! We had to split each wing into two pieces to do it but wow was it ever worth it. These sculpts are fantastic and it would have been a shame for them to be less than amazing on the tabletop. (Image is missing its talons but it does have some!)

As some of the smaller orders start arriving please do get painting and send some pics to [email protected] so that I can in turn share them with backers via these updates! Those of you with medium-large orders continue to bare with us, we are getting items out as quickly as possible. We are updating backerkit as orders ship so hopefully it will show on your end when your goodies are on the way.

We've pushed the new campaign back to February 2021 now so that we can give it an assured starting date. While it would have been possible to run it right off the back of finishing the dispatch of this kickstarter the Christmas period is a pretty tough time to run a project. Just gives us extra time to prepare even more new designs :D

Back next week

Friday update

Hey all

More stuff going out the door each day, again the larger orders are still some weeks off shipping though as we try to hit greater production numbers.

Few undead alternate command renders to share with you this week

Also had this appear on my desk and had to snap a picture to better show the new size of this beast

Don finished painting the Oasis Giant

That's all for this week, back to the mould room!

Forgotten Friday Render Reveal

Hey all

Not a great deal to report this week, still making production moulds and running production moulds. Again not a huge deal of extra orders were posted as a lot of you bought a lot of stuff (thank you!). It should however be a case of once certain moulds become finished we can ship large numbers in a couple weeks time.

Tom our 3D printing wizard said that I may not have shared these renders before so they make for a nice little update filler :D Alternate elf command models (there are 10 all told) and a gorgon archer.

Back next Friday when I will show you the undead alternate command!

Howdy all

Shipping continues, still a little slow at the moment as lots of bits to complete orders are not yet ready. Hope this will speed up in the coming weeks as more production moulds are completed!

Don sent through some WIP images

Someone asked how big the phoenixes ended up being. Well when we first printed them we looked and thought, That is really cool but bigger would be better. So we made them bigger. I snapped a pic of one of the wings when I was in the resin room. Have to compare that to the size of my hand!
