The last of the four sets that form the main Colony 87 Kickstarter pledges - the Nobles.

A peculiar herald clears a path through the common folk, its pennant held high announcing the arrival of the Queen Without A Crown – Mariel Vandestine - a member of Cerberus’s founding family. Flanked by her intimidating chamberlain, Hercules Bouys, personal bodyguard Gregor Lunz and her Reader - the prized psychic Malan Glee. Her entourage wear the curious archaic attire of House Vandestine - its meaning lost to the centuries - much like the family’s power and influence...

This six model set includes: Psychic, Homonculoid, Noble Lady, House Herald, Chamberlain and Bodyguard.

Cheers! And yep, I’ll be breaking up the sets once they hit retail.

Cool, thanks for letting me know. I'll have a think once the KS is live and I can see all the options, but I'll definitely be getting some of them. (Loving the salvagers and Ogryn stevedores.)

Boy, I think that's the best one yet. Not a bad one in the lot, mind you, but someone's got to be a favorite and I think this edges out the salvager family.

Oh wow... these are amazing figures, so much character!

I can't help thinking the antiquities dealer looks a lot like Q from Star Trek, "Alright mate? Wanna buy a universe? Only used on Sundays..."

And I love the gothic, Moebius stylings of the nobles. Has nobody else noticed the Chamberlain has an extra leg?

There's a picture of him somewhere: he has a dog-ish thing on a leash.

Ah! That makes more sense, thanks!

"Nah, where would I put it when I'm not using it?" And you thought storing terrain was an issue.

As noted, he's got a canoid pet. Is he actually the chamberlain though? Thought he was the bodyguard and the guy with the staff and techno-pegleg was the chamberlain.

Yep - Chamberlain = peg-leg

By my stars and garters We funded in 20 minutes! So first off, huge thanks to everyone who has supported and promoted the campaign in the days leading up to the launch. Here's a direct link to Kickstarter.
