Great for Oldhammer and Kings of War (I'll be using them as Tortured Souls in my Abyssal army as well as in Dragon Rampant).

Thanks, haha. I've updated the first post.

Pretty big things........

Haha! Very nice. They remind me of the Beloms from the great Amiga game Grand Monster Slam!
-
And now a horde of balls and a monster ball have been added.
-
Only £140 to go till the project has legs........
-
Flying through the goals
Project now has legs......
Moving up to Monster ball of DOOM!

Here is a picture of a legged version.

The bottom left one looks so sad lol

Rolling along.
Yes hes looking sad. But its what happens when you get into a fight with another monster with sharp pointy teeth!
-
The campaign has just gone over £2000 so the one eyed Balls are now in!
Here's the new update:
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/005/665/771/add0ff083fdddb67dda990e8a02dca78_original.jpg?w=639&fit=max&v=1459971738&auto=format&q=92&s=f2734e4a4118e60b122e6b7c2e40f4c4)
So where do we go from here? A good question. There have been so many great ideas. We have George working on an accessories sprue with arms, horns, wings and a few other bits that will be added to the add ons section in a few days.
Goals
£2250 - we will fund a Colossal floating monster ball. This will be the mother ball! If we reach this amount we will add it to the add ons section for £25 (its a big one people!).
£2500 - Great Balls of Fire! Flaming hot balls on fire. As these are moving/bouncing around expect the fire to be trailing behind them.
£3000 - The Swarm! Lots of teeny tiny ball monsters all flying as one swarm together. This will be sculpted as one big monster ball.
Pledge update.
The horde of balls pledge allows you to pick 5 sets of balls from any of the sets unlocked. So far there are 3 sets to choose from, the original 6, the leg versions and now the one eyed monsters.
This pledge came with Monster ball 1, now it comes with Monster ball of DOOM as well for FREE! So thats 2 Monster balls! Making the saving on this level a whopping £41! Crazy.
Right I will sign off for now. Again thanks for the support. I will be talking to the sculptors involved tomorrow about any ideas you have, including Sci-Fi balls and punk rocker balls...... so keep it all coming!

Quick on the heals of the last one a new stretch goal has been broken, I give to the Mother of all Balls add on!

The Great Balls Of Fire are now unlocked and can be taken as part of your pledge,
The next stretch goal is for The Swarm, Lots of teeny tiny Ball monsters all flying as one swarm together. This will be sculpted as one big monster Ball.
In the latest update they talk a little bit about some rules they are thinking of for the Balls.
From the Kickstarter update:
"I had a sit down meeting with Robey Jenkins (Horizon Wars) who pitched an idea of a game to me over a cup of tea and a biscuit. I was sold on the idea and am really excited to play it.
We will hopefully see a lot of movement on this during next week and I will keep you all informed.....
What I can say to you now about it is this..... It will be fast, it will be fun and it will be diceless...I better start practicing guessing ranges again, I've been spoiled with all the premeasuring games Ive been playing recently!"
