"Cartoony rubbish" on KS 8)
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/wrath-of-kings

WoK is still looking like it should be marketed as "the Previously Unreleased Rackham Miniatures Collection", but some of the figs look nice enough all the same. I'm ever so slightly partial to the steam-powered not-Wolfen/Devourer for example -- pending the actual miniature obviously.

This KS will no doubt fly but I agree to finding the sculpts not quite to my taste (horned demon is a cool figure tbh).

Was hoping to get in on a lower level than $50 to maybe get any extra add-on figures. Looks like I will pass on this one.

There are some really nice miniatures in there, unfortunately, as I don't like to buy scantily clad sculpts, young family, I won't be getting any of the starter sets as they all either have these or just don't interest me. The wraths look great as does that "horny" guy.

There are some very nice figures here but I'm not ready to jump into another KS just yet.

Yep, even I might've gone one or two "singles" but see no reason at all to go for a full starter of any faction as I've no interest in fantasy gaming (and thus little to no need for fantasy miniatures). A lot of KS projects seem be going for high entry level tho; presumably there is some sort of cost and/or logistic issue involved.

They look like typical Rackham to me, which is...an army from Cirque du Soleil.  While I have no use for them, the sculpts are well done (even if some people don't agree with the subject matter, lol).

I really like the oriental dragon from the Shael Han faction, you can see it in the intro video.  No word of it being available as part of the KS, however?

There are some individually interesting figures in there, but none of them really fit with any of my existing projects.

Still, I don't mind seeing someone try something a little different. Rather looks like Rackham mashed up with Dark Age.

Sigh...

I love to see more women included, however not in a lame sexually exploitative way. Doesn't surprise me coming from the CMON crowd though.

I won't buy in on this one.

No doubting the sculpt quality, but this range is a mix of 'dear lord no', 'meh', and one or two 'must have' figures.

Looks like one to pick and choose from later...it's just too uneven and no real strong direction on the factions or figures. The only unifying element in all of it so far feels like the painters.

There's a $1 pledge level you can buy add-ons with.


I'm under the impression the line is entirely concepted from Edouard Guiton artwork, comedy oversized weapons and all. Whether you like the minis or not will likely depend on whether you like his art.

I like the dude riding the giant octopus thing :), I liked the concept art for underwater types monster thing but the actual miniature looks rubbish IMO :(.

I know someone who's getting 2 starters so I might get the octo-rider, but I wont be playing the game.
