---
I've been working on some small fauna models for Rogue Trader and Necromunda in my spare time and they quickly grew to quite a selection of oddities. So I've decided to expand some into small sets and put it all into a Kickstarter to see if there's any demand for the stuff. I plan to launch mid-October, so am starting to show some of the pictures to make people aware of the project.
Feel free to throw questions at me.
Here are the first promotional pictures. All greens, as the Kickstarter's scope wil lbe to get them cast.

Particularly the Dire Squirrels.

Very cool! :-*

Intriguingly different. I particularly like the Dire Squirrels.

To be honest, not everything takes my fancy, but some of them are very cool - I shall definitely be backing the Kickstarter for some of the range. (The globrats are adorable...)

With the same honesty, I don't like it all either :D

Fair enough, but you do need to know if it's a few particulars that stand out, or a little something for everyone.
In my case, nothing particularly 'lights my fire', though perhaps the Vent Dragon, the group is so novel, that the idea of one-or-three of everything 'for whatever comes up' is quite appealing.
Well, love the name, but somewhat less the realization, of Dire Squirrels. :?
I shall look favorably at the KS, in what I hope is a few days.

This is brilliant I think. A nice selection of creatures for a sci-fi landscape.
-
Glashtins and kolehogs are particularly nice. I'm in for the future kickstarter campaign (unless shipping costs would be prohibitive)
-
How time flies!
I've shown 21 models now, be it full creatury goodness or a lump of eggs. These will form the core of the Kickstarter. I do have further sculpts on the desk if people are eager enough to fund into stretch goals, but if not they could follow in a potential second project.
I won't be doing any more reveals of sculpts until these contingencies are walked, but since I am working on the Kickstarter graphics, here's a teaser for some possibilities...

Before I commit to selecting a pledge, is there any chance to have the 'Litter' pledge count as 9 models of my choice, rather than one of each? Specifically, if I wanted 3 each of the Globrats, Vent Dragons & Dire Squirrels, could I benefit from the effective one free with the 'Litter' pledge?
-
It's a good question.
The reason I put the one of each pledge together was because that will ensure I'm not left with a stock of the less popular models.
That said, the moulds won't put out infinite copies, so they will expire and I'll have to do more... and the more popular models will want additional moulds to cover their specific demand.
In theory.
The only problem with me adding a "pick 9 of your choice pledge" is that once we hit stretch goals, there will be more than 9 models, so that particular quantity loses relevance.
So, what I will do is add some multi-pack pledges.
-
Nice and reasonable pricing there. Nice to see you quoted me too, among others. :)

Thank you :P
Here's another stretch goal unlocked.

Cool. Duly backed. If you happen to add alternative sculpts for the Globrats, Vent Dragons & Dire Squirrels that'd be ace.
-
Another Globrat is on the list. The resin allows repositioning when put in hot water, so the nect on the model can be bent to any angle, as can the wings and tail, so that offers more poses. This is thesame for the squirrel. I put the wings in a more drawn out position as they can be bent into new poses. I would like to do an adult vent dragin though.
-
At the rate we are going, I'll have to add more pledge levels. One that includes every model, including stretch goals, will be added, but I can't really gauge a cost until I know the ful quantity. If we hit 20 singles to pick from, I'll do a 20 singles level and super litter bargain too.

Thanks to everyone for your support. The Kickstarter was a success and packages are in the mail or on backers' desks now.
I've added the products to my webstore with initial over-stock. I have requested further stock for those unavailable.
