The figures look great. :-*

They will also be releasing a mass battle ruleset "Samurai Battles" written by Craig Woodfield - the author of the Ronin rules.

Post by: Freelancer on August 04, 2022, 12:21:27 AM: I was impressed they have finally managed to do a nice looking set of plastic samurai. I am glad its reached its goal. From the 3d print prototypes they show, it looks like they are aiming to be scale compatible with the Perry samurai range (which will work it my current collection). The command pack looks like it has a lot of customisable options, so I hope it'll reach these as a strech goal.

Post by: clibinarium on August 10, 2022, 11:53:14 AM: The curious thing is that the campaign isn't really very visible outside facebook. I might not have heard about it only for a particular facebook group (though I guess I'd have seen it here). No mention on TMP that I can see.
I think that visibility is live or die for a Kickstarter. Also the minimum buy-in for figures is 90 euros which is a bit steep for the casual buyer.

That said I've not run a Kickstarter before and Fireforge have, so I am going to assume they know how to do it better than I do.

You can't post about kickstarters on TMP - the post will be deleted. Unless the company concerned pays for sponsorship.

One of the reasons I have abandoned it. Plus all the nutjobs.

Post by: clibinarium on August 12, 2022, 08:23:30 PM: Yeah, I think I saw it mentioned in a TMP post last week (not by the company, just a gamer) and it was deleted in a couple of hours.
