All incredibly cool!

WONDERFUL! The miniatures, Old & New, are BEAUTIFULLY painted characters, each with their own unique personality.
The setting raises the miniatures to a higher level, placing them in a story awaiting the telling. FANTASTICALLY WELL DONE!

Hi Guys
I love the figures and am thinking of jumping into the Kickstarter.

However, I am a bit discouraged by the stretch goals, I really don’t want to get those sacks, i can get those from various others, the strength of your figures is the character of your figures. Now I understand that the kickstater allows you to make these, with little financial risk to your company, it looks like you will get at least 4 times the amount of funding you needed to produce this range. But as a backer I can see very little upside to giving you the money upfront, the cost of your figures is pretty much that which you are charging in the Kickstarter.

I probably will jump in but I can see how you might get more backers if you would put up figures as stretch goals and even put up future stretch goals and at what point in your funding do you need to reach in order to put in another stretch goal.

thanks for your feedback, William, and thank you for the consideration to join this Kickstarter. We actually have many customers who are looking forward to get these baskets and sacks as they are useful for many of them but I absolutely get your point. No worries, we are going to bring some more figures as stretch goals and to create more value for you and other backers and these miniatures are going to be very nice characters You know, we are still in the first week of this Kickstarter and the journey will take more than two further weeks and as mentioned, more goals and add-ons are being prepared.

[wkeyser]

That is great I cannot wait to see what you come up with.

Again fantastic Figures.

As promised we've got more lovely characters for you Another Add-On "Visitors from Distant Lands"


Noresmian Traders and Magnates: Even further beyond the realms of the Gardariki lies the Chanate of Noresmi, a land of fables and tall tales. Maybe once a decade, Noresmian traders take the long journey to the west. These expeditions are commonly headed by experienced travellers and potentates from the Chanate. Trade, of course, is the key objective of the great Noresmian expeditions. They provide most exotic goods such as silk, spices and exotic objects of art.



Gardariki Fur Traders: The Gardariki hail from lands far in the east, further away still than the Hazy Hills where the Dwarves used to live. Once a year, a great caravan sets forth from their walled cities and travels along the great rivers and the Northmere to sell their wares, mainly precious furs of various species long extinct in the lands of Bruegelburg.  The great caravan is usually made up of men, but the more adventurous of Gardariki women join up as well, some being established and shrewd traders themselves.

I do love these minis and I did increase my pledge to get them, but I still can't help wishing there were a few more females just in general.  Particularly in things like this, where you have a large civilian population it seems that (other than tavern wenches and hags shaking their brooms or rolling pins at someone) ordinary women doing ordinary things are lacking.  Lots of little boys playing at soldiers and marbles (or the equivalent) but only one or two little girls destined to cling to teddies or dolls.  It's like little girls never nicked an apple or filched a bun from the baker.

The Bruegelburg line is better than most in terms of the female contingent, but it still feels somewhat skewed, with women making up less than 1/3 the overall population, and significantly less than 1/2 of the civilians.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Stacy, I agree with you, some more female characters would be nice, and fortunately with some further stretch goals coming, we probably should be able to move that needle a small bit to the benefit of the female population of city of Bruegelburg later in this campaign

The lovely traders we were just mentioning are an add-on, so you'd need to add the appropriate amount to your pledge to cover whichever additional packs you wanted.  Don't alter your pledge level; just change the amount you pledge.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Exactly, thanks, Neotacha, appreciate your help!
