We've just launched our Kickstarter project, Pewter Ponies for table top gaming.
Please do take a moment to have a look and share with those who would be interested ;)

I like those. Signing up now.
-
When I've read "pewter ponies", I have immediately think of Bergil.
I was right!
I have absolutely no use for them, but I admit that they are very nice for what they are. Geek parents with daughters should get a set to introduce their brethen to the world of mini hoarding. lol
(And I can't wait to read the thread on Frothers!)

Thanks matey, much appreciated!

Thanks, and you're right, that's half the idea anyway.. As for Frothers, I going to need a week off from it and a bottle of vodka before I dare go back on there!
-
Coincidentally, there's a thread on TMP with a guy asking about non-war miniatures games - might be worth you posting something there.
Best of luck ;)
-
Wow you have been busy, they look nice, not sure what you could use em for but little lasses would like em ;D
-
Now that Tom Meier Fairy Princess Gunner on Pegasus model wil have some units to support her. I know a little girl who would like these very much. Great work.
-
Looking good. I know you got some flak over these on frothers, but they are looking sharp. Will any of the bipedal ones make it into the KS at some point?

Crikey, I haven't been on TMP for ages, I find it hard to navigate to boot. If someone could post there for me though that'd be great. And thanks.

Certainly have been! I'd use them in fantasy skirmish games and RPG's for a laugh or if my kids are joining in. I mean, being kicked by a hoof is pretty close to a battle hammer striking home. I should know, seen it in person... Let's just say the poor lass was in hospital for 3 weeks.. :'(

That reminds me, still need to get one of those... Yeah my daughter likes them, even her friends who've come over to play with her wouldn't leave until they got one for themselves as well!
Cheers

Ugh, Frothers. As I've already said I'm not putting a foot back there for awhile, far too sensitive am I....
I haven't had any real plans for the bipedal ones for the kicksarter, however I had planned to do a steampunk mashup with them at some point. We'll see...

"Knights of the Round Stable"
I love it just for that!

Unless my eyes are ^playing tricks there is an unlock one playing a flute?

Apart from your bearded troll it actually been pretty positive! :)
Not my thing, but they're well done, well presented (good photography at last! ;) ) and you keep improving as a sculptor. Best of luck with it!

That's great, thanks, but I still can't bring myself to go to Frothers!

Oh well yes, he's a bard/rogue sort of thing. They normally have high agility or dexterity so I made the assumption he could do that sort of thing. :D

Nah, BoW commenters were much meaner. ;D

Good luck - not my style but 15 years ago could have done with these for my daughter.

The better half wanted me to pass on "There'd better be one with a cowboy hat in the stretch goals, or I'm not pledging."
Her words, not mine. ;)

Sort of, the hat is there for unlocking so you can stick it on one of the particular ponies.... ::)
-
Good thing I already have a few pony-sized cowboy hats in stock... :D
-
I hope those will be available outside of KS soon.

Not until all of those that have pledged have received their figures I'm afraid.

Good heavens. When I first heard about these I thought that, although not at all to my (admittedly slightly po-faced) tastes, I thought they were delightfully absurd and a desperately-needed lightening of the grimdark side of fantasy. I wouldn't want to buy them myself, but that's just me.
What truly saddens me, however, is the outpouring of outright vitriol and worrying prejudice that I've seen on one or two boards. I honestly thought the hobby was past all this.
Bergil, very best of luck to you, mate. May your ponies never go lame.

:D Thanks,
The only place the vitriol has really gone on is Dakka Dakka. Unless you've seen something I haven't!

:o lol
I hope my daughters don't discover these ;)

I know this doesn't belong to the LAF where everyone knows how to behave themselves quite well, but I cannot keep quiet on that any longer:
kind of off-topic rant
I don't like them as "ponies from that show" either (I prefer the more show accurate toy style myself), but they are good sculpts, and as I said in an earlier thread: I'd really like to use them as "slightly alien" ponies. I don't like 50s SciFi, but have I ever stomped into a retro-SciFi thread and exclaimed "RAYGUNS ARE CRAP!" No, propably because I've learned somewhere in my early childhood days, that one doesn't do that. It's kinda funny, because the show actually tries to teach that lesson as one of it's core messages:
"Love and Tolerance"
I watch it, i love it, and while I do not like every work from every fan I highly appreciate the creativity the show started in thousands of people across the globe.
And before I forget myself: BroHoof, Bergil /)

Can't say as I'm a fan of that show, but I thought this was an amusing little project and sent it to the friends who I know are fans.
Have you posted it to any of the big pony fan-forums? Seems like this might well sell to even the non-wargaming portion of that particular fandom.

Certainly posted it to several, and the message board, but they hid it under a sub post and didn't give it front page status... Even the dedicated fandom gaming site wouldn't feature it :(
If your friends know of anywhere else though, please ask them to post there for me ;)
Every little helps.

Say, did you try the Cheezburger website? They have a Brony page: http://geek.cheezburger.com/bronies?ref=navbar (http://geek.cheezburger.com/bronies?ref=navbar) on which this would go down very well - although I don't think you can post a direct advert, a pic of the ponies and an indication this is a Kickstarter should be enough. I don't have a cheezburger account or I'd post it myself.

Not even sure how to use that site mate! o_o
Aynways:
Thanks to everyone who has pledged on our Kickstarter, Pewter Ponies, so far the basic project is now funded and we’re over half way into our first unlock!
Which also means we’re a third of the way into the project and over a third needed to unlock all of models is there.
On Monday or Tuesday we will have pictures up of the finished adventurers for everyone to see and a special Kickstarter exclusive figure for all those that pledge on the project.
-

Me neither, actually; anyway - well done!

Just thought I’d update things a little, we’ve now reached £4000 which has unlocked the Adventurers set for a Christmas delivery.
We’ve also updated the Cornulaes wings as they were far too bulky originally.
And we’ve added an exclusive pony, the ‘Muffin Mare’ for everyone that pledges on a reward as a thank you for getting us this far.

Hi
How random is theone randon mini?
I only ask as If I show this to my daughter I might find it hard to explain what random means, esp after here getting three Belles in Kinder eges. Is there any scope for choice?
Though if you get to the higher unlocks I might go for taost et al...
Thanks
-
Though if Muffin is inc at £10 I might be able to sell it on that....

You can describe which one you would prefer by all means and we'll try and get you the one you want! And yes, Muffin is in with the £10 pledges.
-
I’d just like to say people can pledge to receive things that aren't unlocked and still receive them, albeit slightly later than was planned.
Our idea behind the unlocks was to illustrate what we could comfortably achieve with the funding received in the time frame allowed.
So please feel safe in the knowledge knowing that anything you pledge for will be received, albeit potentially a month or two later than planned (if that!)
-
Last of the figures We've managed to get finished before the Kickstarter comes to a close. Though we've made our goals any extra funding helps and it's your last chance to get a Kickstarter exclusive muffin mare...
