Andrea Sfiligoi has launched a KS campaign to fund a selection of 28mm Myconid/Mushroom Men character figures and a rulebook. The book contains rules specific to the Funghi figures but also a number of changes/enhancements to the base SoBH rules. The changes are explained in one of the first updates.

Base pledge figures are pretty cool for any Fantasy game but amongst the stretch goals are some wonderful ideas for Dungeon Monsters. Sporelings and a Sporeling colony, Myconid versions of ogres, zombies and a Beholder.

COOL STUFF! The Fungus Fighters are certainly imaginative creations. GREAT WORK!

Nice, those guys are pretty cool-lookin' might have to take a closer look at that KS...

Backed! Love me some fungus. Hope we hit the stretch goals so that I can do a whole army.

Now this is tempting. Love the mushroom guys.

Couldn't resist such quirky figures, and Andreas rules are always fun

I'm a fan of most of Andrea's rules, but this one is way outside of my wheelhouse. I hope it does well though!

These figures are cute, but way outside of my interests. I, too, am a big fan of Andrea's games but I've always been puzzled at how he is able to consistently ignore and delay many rulebooks and supplements that would generate real revenue (the long-overdue Song of Hammer & Forge, as well as the nearly completed Song of Armies & Hordes) in favor of passion projects like this, which are much, much more niche in focus.

Campaign is growing steadily with 5 stretch goal figures unlocked so far, Some interesting new goals revealed (Beetle Rider cavalry and bizarrely some obviously "female" funghi)

Personally I really dislike the SoBH school of rules and have backed this only for a few figures to use as variant D&D myconids. The inclusion of a miniatures only pledge is a good idea that all KS should follow.

I don't mind the SoBH rules, my only beef is that it is often hard to actually kill other figures. The figures look really fun, and the new concepts that have been added are pretty awesome.

Quite a lot in the comments section today about the changes introduced into the old SoBH rules (generic rule changes not specific to the funghi). Pretty much looks as if this is a v2 of SoBH.
PDF playtest rules will be available to backers before the campaign ends and will include other races such as elves, dwarves etc as well as the funghi.

It will be interesting to see the changes and additions to the rules.

One other thing, there is a backer-stretch goal:

Quote

Let me introduce our intrepid Halfling truffle hunter, Andrea Underoot and his trusty pig mount, Davey Snoutbottom. He will be available if we are able to get 200 backers of this project before the end of the campaign. If we reach this goal, Andrea and Davey will be provided free to all pledger of Lord of Fungus and higher and other backers may get him as an Add-On for $8.00. Another nifty feature is the rider and pig will be separate models so you can use the pig on its own. We are currently at 122 backers, so we only need to find 78 more people and Andrea and Davey are yours!

I think the pig would look better with a WK halfling rider, but perhaps the finished sculpt will look better than the concept? Regardless, some more free stuff for the higher pledgers is always a nice thing.

For backers looking to get enough figures to make "units" for Fantasy Battle games the KS now includes figure bundles at reduced prices:

10 x Multi Option spear/sword Infantry +$25.00 (singles are $4 each)
10 x Zombie Fungus +$25.00 (singles are $4 each)
15 x Sporelings +$25.00 (singles are $2.50 each)

These can be added to any of the pledges including the $1 level. There is mention of the Archer and Larger Sporeling figures getting bulk deals also.

I think the concept art on the Kickstarter has better poses than its resulting sculpts though there is a few gems. It would make quite an excitable warband..

SoBH is a fun set of rules ...
