Are they going to be available for regular sale ?  Or just via the kickstarter ?

I believe they will go on general sale. Very nice sculpts, some are based on the old Minifigs Valley of The Four Winds ones.

Excellent choice of flags.
The skellies look great.
My arch nemesis The Prince Bishop Von Trompenburg  has backed this kickstarter , so I am trying rationalise  arquebus verses  skeletons.

Thomas delivered my pledge when he came to Scotland for a visit. They are great figures.

Lovely unit of skellies and I've got those flags in mind to use too! Can i ask what the paint colours are for the bones - looks spot on?
Cheers, Simon.

Can I ask what the flag is?

The palette is a mix of pastel green , desert yellow ,ivory and british uniform khaki! Then the obligatory agrax wash . I always think that skellie look better if you can go from lighter at the head to slightly darker at the bottom .  The flags are from Petes flags on the internet .Thanks chaps . I enjoyed painting them .
