Fantastic! Is it too early to give an ETA for the kickstarter?

It is, at the moment; I'll have a better idea once I get the printed stuff back. I am being pretty cautious about timescales generally, I don't want to give dates that I can't live up to. One thing I've learnt about miniatures projects is that timescales slip very easily. I'll update this tread when I have more concrete news.

Thanks mate! Alas, I suspected that it was still a little while off. Nevertheless, I'm hoping to be able to do my bit in the coming Kickstarter!  8)

Got some of the printed 3D stuff at the start of last week, so I've been working on archers and handgunners, plus shields and other ancillaries. I think the helmets will ultimately prove too large; only by 1mm, but that's 20 percent too big. It tough tailoring that level of accuracy through printing/casting as there are size changes in those processes. No real loss though, I am pretty comfortable doing those items by hand now that I've has some practice.

First test figures are off for moulding right now, should be a couple of weeks for those. Some have to be done in a low temp mould as the material used for some armour might melt in a high temp one. Might do all mastering in a low temp mould as it seems to give better results. Once I paint the first test sculpts I'll preview them here.

Also being moulded are cavalry and horse dolls, some other bits and pieces, so once its all done I can get the first batch sculpted up, enough to found a kickstater on. I do want to get a substantial amount of the work done before lanuching a campaign so as to get a head start on it.

Thanks Byblos (sorry I  didn't see your message at the time). Still waiting on those first test figures.

Anyway, Northstar have released their Ming figures, intended for Ronin.

Thanks Clibanarium !

The Northstar's Ming are not bad , but this is not a range , only a band for "Ronin"  ;)

Not bad, hope to see more.

I like them and will get some but they are very toy like.  Is Ronin a game aimed at kids who cannot be trusted not to break in scale weapons so these have to have telegraph poles?  The mounted officer is great and they are all better than the Koreans but they again have not strayed far from the Forlorn Hope ones he did, presuming they are Mike Owen.

There won't be enough of these to do anything larger than small scale skirmish  :(

Yeah I think this is pretty much all they have planned for Ronin, but arguably that's all that's needed.

I have about thirty packs (four per foot, three per cavalry) planned, but that's subject to change.
