I can already tell that I am going to be couple hundred dollars poorer before this is all said and done.

Definitely curious.

... Maybe not.
I understand that big goblinoid is likely an early stage concept model, but the head should be larger and MUCH fiercer.
As is, the big goblinoid looks like a 1990s HeroQuest goblin on steroids.

@Koyote We'll have so much stuff and at such great pricing, we are pretty sure most of you will find something they like :)
Today's teaser, another big one! 8)

This teaser makes me SO fricking happy!!!
Back in May 2021 I searched high and low for decent camel cav models and they simply didn't exist at the time. A number of manufacturers sold camel cav, but their minis were all garbage. I had to make my own from the best of what was available at the time. This required a rotary tool, greenstuff, and a lot of time, and still I didn't produce a camel and rider nearly as nice as what's pictured above. Thank you!
More recently Cabellero Miniatures started selling nice camel cav as 3D prints, but they are a bit over the top. Plus, I'm always dubious about quality of 3D prints at the 28mm scale level.
PLEASE tell me that you are going to make the camels in hard plastic and not soft resin.
It’s legs could be a bit longer.

Backed! I can't wait to see more new releases.
Are the camels hard plastic or resin? Please say its the former. I haven't had good experience with Shieldwolf's resin minis.
In addition to scaling issues (see below), many of the soft resin goblin heroes I received had issues with air bubbles and malformed detail. Larger parts (like the bodies) were better than the smaller parts (e.g., arms and weapons).
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/4966/tLncnU.jpg)
The Shieldmaiden Ballista was better, but still not great. The ballista spear was so poorly cast that I threw it out and replaced it with a plastic spear. I had to use greenstuff to rebuild missing rivet heads, fill holes, and resculpt areas of malformed detail.

Thank you!
First hours are always a bit frantic, we try our best to monitor and answer as fast as possible.
We have plans for HIPS camelry but that's only if the project explodes so take that with a pinch of salt, we are no kickstarter company with tenths of thousands of euros for marketing purposes. :-I
The resin issues have long been fixed and you will be shown production samples of the camels during the project.
Also, if ever anything is not up to standards, don't hesitate to contact us and we'll send replacements ASAP, we hold dearly to our reputation, it is what has brought us here to where we are today! :)
Project is LIVE! Thank you all for your consideration and support! :)

First, I have some of your forest goblins, and I love them.
Looking over this kickstarter... am I correct in saying this is specifically for the new 'Desert' faction? I know you are offering discounts on the other sets, but just confirming there are not new sets planned in this kickstarter for say, new goblins.
In other words, will there be new goblins?
:)
Maybe some goblins riding camels?
-
Hi!
Thank you for your positive comment and the consideration.
We have plastic kits planned for ALL our factions, and since you specifically asked for the Goblins we have the Drotts planned out (common Goblins) and after that wolf cavalry. But we are no CMoN, we can't ask for the 250,000 euros we would need to fund absolutely everything. HIPS cost a lot and take years to make the investment back, that's why you don't see many companies doing them; we are in this for the long run and we are very willing to wait and grow however! :)
Here are some spoilers for what you asked for

Thank you.
PS. Mind you Angelos (aka the owner) is funding 50% of the initial 4 kits. That's not something we see many do, we literally have our own skin in the game ;)

Silly goblin. Your arrow is on the wrong side of your bow.

How tall are these figures to top of head? Valkyrie should be more "heroic" than mere mortals.
Also they are not shown as included in the skirmish or scouting party pledge levels, will they be?
-
33.5 mm from head to toe. Wings not included in the measurement :D

New add-ons and teasers! 8)

Funding slowly but steadily, slower than we would have liked, but at this pace we should fund. :)
We are strongly hoping to have funded before the 48 hour emails so we may make it on time to unlock as many stretch goals as possible! :D
Shout-outs and spreading the word is the best way to make this happen. We so much appreciate the 150+ backers that are holding on this with us, lots of gratitude!

Valkyrie are great and thank you for the size detail, but I am still not clear if they are available in the Skirmish and Scouting party pledges. The image in the campaign only shows the shieldmaidens in the smaller force pledges.
-
The plan has been formulated to release 2 additional Skirmish and Scouting pledge options when the 2nd (out of 8! in total) plastic kits are funded.
Adding a single one for a skirmish and/or scouting option won't rock the boat so while we discussed to alter the initial plan it was decided not to make any changes that don't effectively alter what we have designed to do.
(I know that's not what you wanted to hear but we prefer to keep things solid than start over-extending)

Pretty sure Going forward you have your hands full right now with the KS. I was curious as to whether you envision further additions to these armies, or, if you have other armies (Snakemen / Lizardmen, Egyptian / Sub-Sahara Tribals, others) in mind
-
Yes, we posted earlier in the pre-launch campaign that we have 6 factions + another 2 hidden ones, that are waiting to be unlocked.
All new factions will have a minimum of one hard plastic kit. But we will need major boost to get to these, exposure has been decimated due to current events unfortunately (unfortunately goes for both the events and the project) :)
As a side note, another video is up!

I was really looking forward to the male Araves being unlocked in this KS. Not sure if that is going to happen though.
I am mostly interested in getting more female parts for kitbashing with Frostgrave and Fireforge sets for more female combinations.
So I will probably pledge for several skirmish parties.
-
With only a week to go we will need a pretty big surge to make the Araves male kit happen. :D
We have witnessed enormous surges in the last 48 hours of projects but this has all been so peculiar we are still baffled in how on Earth this has not funded yet! o_o
Anyway, we appreciate the support and we'll stand by and see I guess! :)
-
45 hours remaining!
Last time with the Forest Goblins we barely missed the mark, let's see if this time we will be luckier!
-
Last few hours, it's been a hard fight! :)
