More "Harem" figures on their way - yay! Looks like more Eunuchs/Temple Guards, Officials at Court and servants. Perfect. :)
No idea when the drive will start..."a few weeks" I think the update said...
-
Very Nice all the last ones are really nice figures and well sculpted.
-
Great looking figures.

Great looking figures.
Totally agree! Any chance of seeing them up close? Maybe front and back pics?

There is a gallery here, but I'm not sure if non-backers can access it...

Fantastic miniatures! :-*
-
I'm really excited to get in on this one. I got in on the last one and was very pleased! The quality is top notch and the delivery was on time!
-
These are fantastic. Anyone know when they will be available to people who missed the indigogo campaign?

Latest update from Mike:
Hi Everyone,
Apologies for the delay in not getting back to you sooner. It is my intention to start the next Egyptian Miniatures Indiegogo campaign on the 3rd of February. There will be a total of 12 new sets of miniatures on offer plus various stretch goal rewards. I will also make available all the 7 sets from the two previous Indiegogo campaigns. Model-making legend Kev Adams is sculpting all of the miniatures except for the Egyptian cobras which have been done by the talented Andy Peiper of Reaper and Tailspinner Miniatures. So lots of exciting miniatures are heading your way!
Upcoming sets of miniatures:
1. Queen of Egypt: Queen, Herald and Fan-bearer
2. Eunuch Guards II: Pole-axes
3. Eunuch Guards III: New Chief Eunuch and 2 Spearmen
4. Eunuch Guards IV: Eunuch Officer and 2 Spearmen
5. Large Egyptian Cobras (2)
6. Palace Personalities: Physician, Scribe and Bodyguard
7. Royal Guardsmen I: Spears
8. Royal Guardsmen II: Khopesh Swords
9. Royal Guardsmen III: Axes
10. Serving Girls
11. Foreign Concubines
12. Sorceress and attendants
There will also be a number of stretch goal rewards!

Starting today?
-
Yes!! I am hoping to get it up and running today! :o
Just trying to sort out a couple of images for the sets and some last minute text/perk/stretch goal revisions. Im quite pleased that Kev has just about finished the last of the figures - So this should keep waiting times for the models down to a minimum - Hoping to have it up in the next 5 or 6 hours. Sorry for the delay!
-
No worries! I'll be pledging this evening then... 8)

Already in at level 7!!! Very excited to see the new stuff!
-
Backed!!! great stuff
-
I like the stretch goals. Hopefully we will make them! :)
If not, I am sure Mike will add them to the next drive... 8)
-
He's got me again. I will be backing it this week. :o
-
This is progressing nicely and I haven't even pledged yet! I'll be doing so as soon as I get some bills cleared away.
It occurred to me the other day that some reclining figures (ie. on divans) would be good stretch goals, or possible goals for future additions.

Hornists and wild animals as pets, are also good ideas, IMO...

Pretty funny, what comic is this from?
-
You haven't been exposed to Asterix before???!!! :o
Not sure which story the first pic is from, but the second is from "Asterix and Cleopatra" and the third is from the live action film of the same name.
-
You haven't been exposed to Asterix before???!!! :o
Oh damn its been to many years, I remember glancing though a few of them when I was a kid at rest stops but never saw an English version.
-
I'm not sure how many have been translated. We used to have little paperback versions. Asterix in Britain was my old favourite! I know some of the names were changes in the English versions and presumably some of the jokes.
-

That comment physically hurt me to read!

All are in English, supposedly all translated by the same people, but I think the most recent one had some really weird wording. Doesn't count anyway since it's the first that wasn't made by with of the original two guys (well, with the writer being dead for years I can't blame him :)).
I guess it depends where you live. In Australia, it seems every book store, school and library has them.
-
Not prevalent at all in the US, that is unless you get into a niche comic book store. After he said the name I face palmed becase I remembered it reading a few when my folks were stationed in Germany.
-
regardless of Asterix These Egyptian figures are great can't wait to add to my collection. I would recommend everyone to join in this kickstater
-
I'm in on the Harem, this looks great!
I'd love to be in on a Kickstarter for Asterix as well! I've read it since I was a boy and had the film on video when my kids were growing up! :-*
-
I have over 30 Asterix books. The first ones obtained from a petrol station promotion, my father had to buy from that particular company untill I had all the Asterix books they offered. The earlier ones were by far the best, with my favorities including:In Britain; The Legionary & Cleopatra.
The books contained wonderful characters (Unhigenix the fish monger & The Pirates for example).
A German company used to make 25mm figures. The legionaries I have painted but the Gauls & Pirates have never made it past the undercoat stage, but then in my world 19 years is not a record for an unfinished project.

Nice snakes!

Just about at the 5th stretch goal! Yay! (And I ain't even pledged yet!)

Woo hoo! Closing in on $6000 and new pledge goals are up:
$6000 – Free serving girl variant to level 6 and higher. This miniature can be purchased individually for $4.
$7000 - Unlocks the Sedja, 'One who travels from afar' for $12
$8000 – Unlocks the Eunuch Harem Guard Character set for $12 (includes Drunken eunuch, Axe-weilding eunuch and Pygmy eunuch). As a bonus reward contributors of level 7 or higher will receive 1 randomly selected miniature from this set.
Anyone know what "the Sedja" is or looks like? ???
-
By the by, that first Asterix picture is from Asterix et la Zizanie, though I forget the title in English.
My brother has all our old Asterix. I need to replace the whole series if I want reading copies again. :'(
EDIT: Oh it's "Asterix and the Roman Agent" in English.
-
The Sedja revealed...

This is just so cool! I have already pledged but am think about kicking in a few more bucks to get us closer to unlocking this!!! Anyone else?
-
I love these figures, but I'm still trying to figure out what I would do with them – other than just painting them and having them look cool. :D
Maybe use them for Crom? I'm curious what other people are using them for…
-
I intend to use them for Tekumel games (and other Fantasy like Hyboria).
Also, I think a "Palace Intrigue" game would be cool. One faction has the palace guard, another the Eunuchs. The sorceress obviously summons/controls the Sedja (and possibly the ordinary snakes). The extras would be scattered around serving guests, etc. Any extra has the potential to be a disguised assassin (revealed at the play of a card?) in which case substitute the appropriate assassin figure. I think each faction should have a traitor in another faction. Random traitor, random faction. (This is from Avalon Hill's Dune board game...)
I think there is lots of potential for such a game.

Just $280 shy of the next Stretch goal!

Like the Dwarf Eunuch!
Also these Guardsmen are looking very nice

Last 7 Days!
...and closing in on the Eunuch Characters stretch goal! :-*
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/egyptian-harem-miniatures-iii/x/1587080
-
I wish I had a use for these, and the spare cash to pick up one of each. I might still hop in just so I can get the goblin though... gotta love Kev's goblins!
-
Eunuch Characters unlocked! Woo Hoo! o_o
-
I'll be posting an update shortly and putting an image of the palace guard officer in the gallery :) Who knows we might even reach him!
-
closing in on the next stretch goal...which is a variant Scribe figure! :)
(fingers crossed!!!)

Palace Guard Officer - that's a pretty nasty facial expression. Wouldn't want to cross him...
-
Kev did a brilliant job on the facial expression and pose - poised to give someone a good crack with a diorite mace. This model is based on an NPC called Horak-Ptah the Unforgiving from my long-running ancients campaign. He also comes with a shield
-
So if I read the IGG page correctly, those of us who supported a previous Harem project and the current one get a Gobbo figure for free?
BTW: I am in on this one.
-
Few hours left. This is one of the best to get in on Great figures and a well run campaign. I have gotten in on all 3 of his projects.
-
Just reached 11K and unlocked the Nubian Guards :D Yes, the Egyptianised Goblin figure is free to those who contributed to either of the previous campaigns!
-
Yay! Myself, I didn't think it could generate that extra funding to unlock the Nubian Guards, especially with it ending in the middle of the night like that. I guess that was the Pacific Coast coming through? Or early risers in Europe?
Anyway, congrats! Already looking forward to #4! :D
-
Really like the Nubians. Some Nubian Amazons would not go amiss, either...
(Just thinking ahead to the next one...) lol
-
Just got my pledge in the mail today 8)
I got the royal guard figures, very nice. I could see them standing in as unsullied for some GoT gaming...
-
I got my miniatures last week. Very nice figures, I'm very pleased with them. Now to paint them!
