Can anyone do stats for them, please?
Will send a free set out to you if you post stats. Thanks!

I am trying to see a decent photo of these releases, but alas, I cannot connect to the Official site of RAFM.
Is it me or it happens to others, too?

Like VSF, dislike "Stream Punk" - that said, these walk a great line and if I was into 'larger' figures still I would "be forced" to buy some of them... 8)
Gracias,

Wow, the Captain Brown's set is a real bargain. I'm not a VSF gamer yet, but I do have a copy of IHMN. This may be just what I need to dive in.

These look rather nice. May I ask what scale they are?
-
I'm going to move this back onto the main VSF board as I think it might get a wider audience there. (I hope thats ok with you chaps)
Some great looking figures in this collection. :)

Okay, had the manager at my store order the boxed set awhile back, but I'm STILL confused as to which figs I'm getting, and which I'm not. Can you straighten me out? On just this question; about to turn sixty-three, any further straightening is highly doubtful.
Doug
Edit: Come to think on it, you folks do 15mm on occasion; any chance you can try these? Worth watching Glenn itching... lol
-
There are two box sets in the Airship Pirates line at present.
I am not sure which box set you are getting.
Code RAF1490 has only the six band members which are codes RAF01401 thru RAF01406.
The new box set (and the significantly better deal) is RAF1491 which contains all the miniatures that have been released in the line. This would be RAF01401 thru RAF01411. For pictures of all the miniatures see our website here http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RAF&Category_Code=ASP

Too bad the box is winging it's way already, as far as I know. Still, I can figure out which I'm missing now.
Evil you are! ;)
Thanks for putting the silver lining to this debacle; music to my ears, Glenn. :D

Airship Pirates KS starting on Wednesday!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/941525798/2123809805?token=c357ec40
Without the stretch goals, it looks like the $29 CAD preorder plus shipping is about the same price as the $40 CAD ($36 US) KS pledge level.
Only 52 backers to hit the first SG, which includes a free mini, and a $3 add-on miniature.
-
Hmm, I will be watching this closely. Another project ate up the cash I was considering using for a box of pirates, but the KS, with it's free shipping would be a better deal as soon as one more miniature is added.
Will you be able to add additional figs from the existing line for a discounted rate? A couple more of those crewmembers with the pith helmets would be usefull.
-
Kickstarter is live!

A bit more mad-max than steampunk, but could be a cool figure nonetheless.
-
We just added a Bonus Miniature for reaching the $1000 level!

-
That is an awesome incentive. Everyone needs more marines!
That pushed me over and I just pledged. I didn't even realize until after I pledged that it was Canadian dollars, so it's even a better deal than I thought. About $35usd for 12 figs is less than $3 each and that includes shipping! Looks like I'll finally have a proper crew for IHMN by next year.
-
Thanks for the support elif.
Stretch Goal #1 has been achieved so you get one more miniature bringing the total to 13.
Stretch Goal #2 has been revealed.
(https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10690001_528453580623506_8390582887482797704_n.jpg?oh=6fa30af9db733052390953f1f48e0435&oe=54C3F5C7)
-
Kewl!
Still going the retail route, but have hopes of seeing most of these on the regular sales list. Okay, what I'm REALLY hoping is to see the Admiral...
Doug
-
If you want to get hold of some of the Kickstarter figs at kickstarter prices (plus a modest shipping charge) without buying into the whole kickstarter package, send me a PM.
Only about $300 bucks from the next goal….
-
As an FLGS part owner with agreed-to discount, AND store credit from consignment I cycle through just to make our cutout bins look interesting, going through the store is desirable.
HOWEVER, I will definitely keep you in mind if the urge for some marines hit me, but especially if the admiral appears on the horizon. ;)
Your offer is a sure sign of a class act. Thanks!
Doug
-
Cool. I had no idea you were a FLGS Owner. Oh, the perks (and headaches) that must bring with it!
As for the offer, happy to do it. I've done similar things before, both with club members and sometimes with folks from far away via forums. We've split Deadzone and Bones kickstarters and are currently waiting on Bones part 2. It's always worked out well so far.
-
Stretch Goal #2 Achieved!
Bonus figure added. Now up to 15 miniatures for $40, shipping included to USA, Canada and the EU! Get on board the Airship soon.
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/754/058/a78f9fcf1df27090e74cb88fcedacd16_large.jpg?1413503321)
-
Just so folks know, the extra fig mentioned is a second copy of the pilot figure (Long coat, red scarf and pistol). Really glad to be getting extra crew figures. Just the thing for building IHMN companies.
-
We just processed this FAQ and we were shocked by the value here:
Here is the listing: MSRP
RAF1401 Robert Brown $7.95
RAF1402 Kristina Erickson $7.95
RAF1403 Josh Goering $7.95
RAF1404 Dan Cederman $7.95
RAF1405 Titus Munteanu $7.95
RAF1406 Jody Ellen $7.95
RAF1407 Mechanical "Airship Engineer $ 6.95
RAF1408 Baron Celsius Von Fahrenheit, Agitator $ 6.95
RAF1409 Constance Bashford $ 6.95
RAF1410 Airship Pirates - Pilot X2 $13.90
RAF1411 Airship Pirate Marine X2 $13.90
+ Derek Brown Miniature $ 7.95
+ Peeler #1 $7.95
Total Current MSRP $112.95 + Shipping Included! Wow! And still adding more miniatures!
At the $5000 stretch goal which is only $150 from being fulfilled, a free copy of the Skyfolk Pirate will be added, which will bring the total to $119.90. What a value for only $40, shipping included. So come over and get a great deal on some excellent miniatures.
-
It really is a great deal.
The original box set was a phenomenal deal, at about half off the original MSRP. The current deal is even better as shown above.
To be fair, though, I think there are alot of folks who would pass right by the figs at MSRP. I like the figs quite alot, but I rarely spend that much, and to be honest if I were going to there's alot of competition and some really great competing sculpts at the $7-$8 per fig mark. It's likely I would have bought the boxed set at some point but the KS is what made me take the plunge.
All that said, the current price-per fig of the KS is $2.66, and if you figure in RAFM's usual $8 shipping cost for the boxed set, you end up with $2.13 per fig, for minis that IMHO are clearly worth at least double that! That's even cheaper than EM4, and those are smaller figs and much older sculpts.\
Now get out there and pledge!
-
But wait! There's more! *you KNOW I couldn't help it* lol
Cool. I had no idea you were a FLGS Owner. Oh, the perks (and headaches) that must bring with it!
Rather less of each than you think, as we're a large group. Each do a little, some more than others, but herding cats is a common phrase. And I'm not able to get down nearly enough of late.
As for the offer, happy to do it. I've done similar things before,...
Stand down, eilif! I'll probably get some in each way; as I said before, if the admiral becomes real, no probably about it, maybe with more peelers as buy-ins. [hint,hint]
Doug
-
Just pledged. These will work nicely with some of my other steampunk/VSF minis I think. An excellent deal as well.
-
Stretch Goal #3 has fallen! Get all the details at the update https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/941525798/rafm-new-airship-pirate-miniatures/posts
Spoiler Alert in the update so if you are not interested in ruining the surprise please do not visit us now.
-
Okay, not what I requested, but still in.
Did you know the listing on the RAFM store is still "Captian Brown's Airship Pirates?"
Spellcheck, much? lol
Doug
PS I suppose I should be glad it's not 'Pyrates.' ::)
-
New "no deadline" add-on!
Only 20 backers needed! $4 gets you two Imperial Marines, useful as WWII minions for 28mm games: Tannahauser, Fortune and Glory, Achtung Cthulhu, etc.
EDIT: Only five more backers needed!

Done.
I fear my admiral may be a bridge too far... :(

Have no fear Doug, 15 days left to go and plenty of stretch goals still to fall.
125 Backers achieved and second Imperial Marine opened. At this rate we should make it!

Fear? I don't know the meaning of the word! (Damn, where's the Funk and Wagnalls?)
Mad rush at the beginning, and another at the end may be common, but there's quite a fair stretch til he's more than a gleam in the eye. Still, I'm assuming your evil overlords are quite happy. ;)
Doug
-
Six days left!
Six more backers needed to the next SG!
That will mean 17 metal Victorian mini's for $40 CAD or $35 USD!

Well, there's still til Friday, but now that I shall have my Admiral, I AM happy. Not that I won't be adding for some of the other items... ::)
I did want to thank everyone that helped the push to my personal goal. ;)
Doug
Edit: Of course, if RAFM were to add some more peeler poses... lol
-
Just received: That's right now you can order multiple copies of your favorite miniatures from the new RAFM Airship Pirates Crew.
They're just getting greedy... ;)
I kinda like it.
However, I did say more POSES of peelers.
Doug

I seriously didn't see this until after I posted Stretch Goal #6. Less than $1000 to Peeler #2 Doug!

I was going to say 'in my dreams', but made that mistake about the Admiral.
Of course, this peeler is a bit more of a nightmare, but wouldn't say no...
By the by, I fear I've made an error; is it possible to get multiples of the add-ons? I included funds for five tankettes, but will have to scramble to figure what else to purchase if I'm restricted to one.
Be gentle, it's only my second time...
Doug
-
You certainly can!
And here's what else you can get! ;D
"If we get to 80 backers adding $25 to their pledge and taking the Dactyl Add-On we add the second Pterodactyl and Neobedouin Rider to all those that have paid for the Add-On." See Update 16!

KS site still says 'seeking', but I say 'Done'.
Wasn't sure I wanted one, now I know I MUST find a reason!
No idea what/if another at $12.5K, but I could be damn near giddy.
Doug
Edit: Just got the note; freebie does not move me, but I'm feeling some need for the buy-in add-on. I'll let the lads have the 'thunder' of showing piccies...

$35USD shipped for 19 steampunk figs, what better reason could there be!

I'm very glad I backed this. It's going to be a while before the figs come, but I think it will be worth the wait.

No, I meant I must find a reason for the arachno-peeler. lol
Please see the word 'giddy' above. ;)

Edit: And, *ahem* I've already admitted 5 tankettes, several other buy-ins. $35USD is now a distant memory... :D
-
Dactyl requirements lowered down to 30! Current count is 23 so only 7 Dactyl backers needed! See update 20.
Spider-Peeler has been unlocked at $10K CAD!
$3 CAD Mechapede at $12.5 CAD! Buy two! They're Canadian!

-
Final 24 hours, only four new backers needed to open the mini-stretch goal. 28 upgrades needed for the Pterodactyl and just under $1500 for Stretch Goal #7. That's right three goals to meet today to get lots of bonus miniatures. Come on over and get in on the great deals!
-
Another FREE MINIATURE unlocked!
MECHADACTYL unlocked!
$40 gets you 20 steampunk / Victorian miniatures!
And $6 for the DOOM RAY of DOOM!!!
-
20 hours to go, I really hope it gets to the stretch goal for the mechapede. As well as Steampunk that will make a superb security program/bot for cyberpunk type games.
-
MECHAPEDE UNLOCKED! GANGER UNLOCKED!
20 metal steampunk / victorian mini's for $40 CAD!

ARGH with two hours to go I am stuck at work and can't back it! What a fool!
-
Not a fool at all! :D
You can still pre-order these miniatures! And any pre-order purchases will apply towards the KS!
Only 1K to go for the Nun with gun, and Girl with axe:
"We are putting the miniatures, which you helped fund, up for sale at a special pre-order price on our website. Please guide your friends, or anyone who inquires to our website so they can purchase the miniatures. If we get that extra $1000 then we will ship the Nun Gunner and Girl with Axe as part of the Kickstarter."
Mechadactyl is only $15! Better price than the KS if you only wanted one Mecha.

-
Oh, frabulous day, the announcement sez July 2014! Shipped retroactively!!!
I'm sure I'm getting great enjoyment with my figures!!!!!!
I'm sorry, what is this 'calendar' you mention? Is it anything like the 'spellcheck' to which you earlier made reference? Do they come from the mysterious Spare Oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of War Drobe?
lol
Do wonder about the second marine pose; we DID get both, right? Any plans to add to the pre-order list?
Also, as I'm a noob who fears missing some damn memo, how soon will we be being dunned for the pledges, and seeing a "survey" (?) of our choices?
Mind you, not quite 'shut up and take my money', but I AM envisioning the cartoon.
Finally, just to add to the living heck your life is becoming, if someone wanted some of the figs already in production, could they offer to pay shippage on just those?
Customers: a tangled web unto themselves...
Doug
-

The Airship Pirates Role Playing game is about time traveling Airships...
Just a typo, thanks for pointing it out.
Do wonder about the second marine pose; we DID get both, right? Any plans to add to the pre-order list?
Yes the second Imperial Marine Pose is part of the Kickstarter.
No plans yet.
Also, as I'm a noob who fears missing some damn memo, how soon will we be being dunned for the pledges, and seeing a "survey" (?) of our choices?
Survey will be out this week!
Finally, just to add to the living heck your life is becoming, if someone wanted some of the figs already in production, could they offer to pay shippage on just those?
Yes this will occur with the survey, requiring you to send some money via the website. Our current shipping charges are $8.05 to the USA and $18 Overseas.
-
Brilliant!
Doug
Edit: I probably embarrassed myself by saying second marine instead of two for reduced. Is it same pose, but arm can be differently positioned?
-
but arm can be differently positioned?
The second Imperial Marine will be a separate sculpt based off the first pose, so it will be cheaper to produce because we had to just about give these figures away, and it will be up to the sculptor to choose posing and details. We have several sculptors which are brilliant at this. That may be "who are brilliant at this" I am not sure about the grammar but I am sure you will hold me accountable on it ::)
-
I am imbued with the power to make men paranoid! Where's the mustache-twirling, mua-ha-ha emoticon?!?
You left out 'whom are brilliant'.
Doug
Edit: Sorry, couldn't help myself. 'Whom' would be wrong... ;)
-
To my forum brethren who participated in this, an apology. As complex as the pledge I was planning to make, the missing tankettes from the survey, the options pre-release on the RAFM site, it will be a bit before I sort it all out.
Best wishes to you all on this day, and I know I'm thankful a heck of a lot of loot incoming! lol
Doug
-
So were you the backer mentioned in Update 30? Thanks for joining! :)
The Air Pirates pre-order is still available! Pre-order figures at up to HALF retail!
http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RAF&Category_Code=ASP&offset=12
-
So were you the backer mentioned in Update 30? Thanks for joining! :)
No, no, if you notice my nattering nabob-ism above, you'll know I joined fairly early.
Honestly, though, I kept adding to the pledge, that I'm still working out what I planned, and what I should add via the web site, and if I should pay the extra to have some delivered now, that I'll need to sit down with *horrors* pen and paper to figure it all out, and that's best done at work tomorrow. ::)
Doug
-
Mine was pretty straitforward. A simple add-on. No early shipping for me. Half the fun of some of these kickstarters is the box-o-stuff that arrives on my door a couple of months after I've forgotten it was coming.
-
Okay, done, but I'm already apologizing to the folk at RAFM for serious confusion on that. HOPE I got it comprehensible if not right.
So you lot can stop complaining about me! Oh, wait, haven't heard a peep... lol
Do want to point out that it's spelled 'straightforward'; don't want Mitchelxen to think I'm playing favorites, though I DID assume it was some Freudian slip feeling you didn't free yourself of the straitjacket sufficiently in buying. :D
Half the fun of some of these kickstarters is the box-o-stuff that arrives on my door a couple of months after I've forgotten it was coming.
Agreed, and is my experience with most orders, eBay or manufacturer, coming out of UK. Have to say, though, there are disappointing exceptions ordering from GZG or Brigade Models. Jon's wormhole is legendary, but I suspect Tony has optioned a timeshare...
Still, some of the already available as part of the KS will be gifts (tho' not necessarily Xmas; don't want a misunderstanding with my meaning), and no sense making the lads and lasses wait 'til next year.
I DO sound too giddy, don't I? Given my survey 'add-on' was about half again of the original pledge, my Grinch side must have bust a gasket.
Doug
-
Not over yet! Only $54 needed to break that final Stretch Goal!
Hit "Contact me" on the KS Home page to find out how to increase your pledge!
-
Okay, you found the fifty-four smackaroons. What the heck am I going to do with a penquin with a mini-gun?
Pigtails with ax is fetching, though, and for so many 'other genre' uses!
Must.
Be.
Strong.
Doug
-
Do the gun-nun and girl with axe have some special place in the Airship Pirates universe? Neither seems particularly steampunk or notably useful for gaming the genre.
-
RAFM have released pictures of the first new castings from the Kickstarter:
