Goals

Funding Goal £20,000

When we reach £20,000 we will make the whole English Tudor range of 28mm miniatures of about 100 different infantry miniatures and 30 new Cavalry miniatures plus whatever special miniatures are requested by our Backers.

Stretch 1) £25,000

At the £25,000 pledge level we will make custom dice for the Tudor dice game, Mia,

The rules will be printed and sent with the 2d6 enabling play of this authentic Tudor game of cunning and deception. One set of dice will be added to all Pledges at the £100 level or over.

Stretch 2) £30,000

At the £30,000 level we will release our whole Valois French range of miniatures, another 85 French and Swiss infantrymen and 25+ mounted miniatures, suitable for the period 1535 through to 1560. Plus we will add Character pledges similar to those at the £75, £200 and £300 levels in the English range.

Stretch 3) £35,00

At the £35,000  level we will work with our media partner, Perchpole Media, to add User-Groups to our website. Being a member of the User-Group will allow privileges including, posting images and articles on the main site, along with chat boxes for instant feedback on our content. The User-Groups will be the first place you'll be able to get all the TAG News, fast!

Also membership will bring the benefit of continued FREE POSTAGE for 2 years on all your TAG orders. when our free shipping policy changes this summer. The TAG User-Groups will be used as a means to play-test the ‘beta’ version of the Ten of War rule set and organize meetings or tournaments. Membership of the User-Groups will be extended free to all those who pledge £250 or over.

Stretch 4) £40,000

At this point we will carry out a survey to ascertain which nation of the mid-sixteenth century our backers would like to see next. Choices will be between Germans (Landsknechts, Reiter, Burgundians and City Militias), Scots (Lowland pikemen and Highlanders) or Irish (Kerns, Gallowglass and Nobles). We’ll make the most popular nation and add Character pledges similar to those at the £75, £200 and £300 levels in the English range.

Stretch 5) £45,000

Flags, at this level we will commission the nice folks at Flags of War to design and print about half a dozen full colour flags of the period for all the Nations covered by our Kickstarter.

These flags will be available for sale, but will also be added to all pledges of £30 or over (one per unit)

Stretch 6) £50,000

Another survey of the two remaining Nations which didn’t win the Poll at Stretch Level 4) We’ll make this army in full and release it along with character pledge levels similar to those at the £75, £200 and £300 levels in the English and French ranges.

Stretch 7) £60,000

We’ll make the final army of the period. We’ll make this army in full and release it after the winners of Polls 1 and 2. Plus we’ll add Character pledges similar to those at the £75, £200 and £300 levels in the other ranges.

That's an awesome rendition of Henry VIII, even if his codpiece looks rather... imposing.

I really like the way they have given the opportunity to pledge low and get the two character models on their own if you are not tempted by a new army or two

I've signed up for (my first ever) Kickstarter - hope that everyone else will as well, as it's a range that deserves to see the light of day, however large my unpainted lead mountain already is.

I've added a pledge to this, i couldn't resist the one of each-deal  lol

Worth noting that you can pick another army, even viet-cong  for your pledge instead of the Tudors, quite a saving to be had in.. :)
