After some lacklastre (in my opinion) stretch goals, now they are on the way for the fifth sin: envy.

Nicely sculpted models and it looks like a fairly reasonable price to get in on the ground floor.  As I look at them though they did a good job of producing, "scary monsters" but for the most part have failed to produce identities for them that convey the cardinal sins they are supposed to represent.

I was thinking that too. Lust really doesn't look like an avatar of such. However, these are a single group of people collaborating on it, so what they come up with is likely very different than what I would for each of the sin avatars.

Envy has been completely unlocked.

And that "Apocalypse box" add-on looks very tasty.

But can I afford joining this KS? :'(

The paintwork on those resin master figures is amazing, really disturbing miniatures.

BUT.... as is said elsewhere the concepts and sculpts, whilst great, do not really manifest the core idea of the named sin. I think there are figures that "fit" the subject better amongst the Kingdom Death range.

The impression I get is that they are not actually meant to be manifesting the sin but that they are strange eldritch creatures and there happened to be 7 of them so they were named after the sins, each sin being associated with the Avatar it most closely matched.  I could be way off base with that though, especially given the contents of the Apocalypse box -



5 Big Figures
4 New Tiles
1 New Story Board
1 New Apocalypse Track Board
5 Monster Reference Cards
12 new Upgrade Cards
1 Rules and Maps Leaflet





Death -






Famine -






War -






Pestilence -






Apocalypse -






Size comparison -




There are also 2 bonus Kickstarter exclusive heroes if you pick up the box during the campaign -

...please release those miniatures as resins sometime. I don't want them in plastic...but the sculpts are fan-tas-tic.

Unfortunately no sculpt for one of them yet but should be shown before the end of the campaign.

Currently waiting for the reveal of the next stretch goals so will be back later to post them.
