Hi again! We're entering the last 24 hours of the campaign and we wanted to share the news
So far we have unlocked the whole collection on 35mm scale. Here's a snapshot of all of them:
Please note that only the first four are actually adapted to the scale so far, the rest are the renders for the 75mm version. We will adapt them soon. If you want to see how the detail translates to a smaller scale, and how the scale compares to other game figures, here's a comparison picture:
As you can see, 35mm sounds intimidating but really, many games who originally started as 28mm have been moving up to 32mm and 35mm. We players still call them 28 sometimes because it's convenient, but it's not always exact.
So if you're interested in these, here are the pledge levels and add-ons how you can get them:
And this is the link for them: https://bit.ly/echoesofcamelot 
By the way, do you like busts? Because we're about to unlock a bust:
Now, on to your comments:
If you bring 'em down to 28mm, I'd have a go. They look great, finely detailed, with a lot of peripheral elements to add to the mood.
Thank you so very very much
we're putting tons of effort into these, really pushing our limits in very much every sense of the word. It's definitely showing, people are loving them, and now very close to the end of the campaign we're very tired but very very satisfied. We're truly humbled by the amazing response, we had other succesful campaigns in the past but this is much better than we expected.
But they look more "barbarian" than "Arthurian" in my book.
Yes, some people say things like those. We understand that no two people have the same vision of anything specifically. Perhaps even though we toned down our fantasy level we're still on the quite fantastic side; well, fantasy
is what we do. We have some historic figures in our online store, although not many:
https://shop.bigchildcreatives.com/index.php?id_category=25&controller=category&id_lang=1 but for this one, we wanted to retain some fantasy elements.
We understand that we can't be 100% to the taste of everyone, but we appreciate that people are enjoying them nontheless
And why so much "scale creep"?
Because of the detail. We understand that people can have issues with scale creep and we see where they come from, but we have to make a decision. Mmost of our audience are more artists and collectors than they are players, this is one of our first approximations to somewhat game scale minis (for our own figures that is, actually we've been making tons of game scale figures for clients such as CMON) and so far our 35mm figures have been selling nicely; and since our brand is about art and detail, we don't really find it fitting to cap ourselves further than necessary, especially since games are not doing it either.
In short, we'd love to please everyone but since we need to choose we'd rather that those who are already loyal customers get the high detail figures that they support us for and players who want to include Lancelot into their armies just add him as a tall person
I hope you are ready for the nightmare of delivery!! :-)
We are ready
this is not our first rodeo, our team is bigger now and some of the latest pledges have been warned that their delivery will arrive around March rather than December.
