I couldn't make it out from the pledge page; will the tank be available after the kickstarter?  Or is it limited?  I really like it, but not enough to pledge.
This is my boomstick!

I think the tank will be unlocked for purchase as an add-on if they hit 1500 euros. Hopefully Sergus will clarify that. 

I'll be putting in my own contribution shortly, just as soon as I get a question or two answered.

Alright! I'm in!

112€ so far, but we'll see what the new personalities look like or if we unlock the Domini Canis!  Might even pick up a few odds and ends (those Maravedies might even work in some scenery).

Wagon will be available if we get 2300€ more this last days of crowdfunding. That way it will be an add-on with a cheaper prize.

Well, second Goal ACHIEVED and as I told, crowdfunding is about to get the 3rd one in these last days.



With that, these miniatures got unlocked as gifts for perks C, D, E, F, F-Conquered and G:



Oh, and here you are Hermano Bernardo ( "Brother Bernard" ) another of Domini Canis pawns:



Domini Canis and Ordo Calamitas bands: Ulocked at 25000€





Padre Norberto, painted by Emuse:



Basajaun, in progress ( a mythological creature for Dies Irae Vol II ).



Toro Desbocado ("Rampant Bull"), gift for perks D, E, F, F-Conquered and G.



Turn Marker:



Tracking Markers:



And Grenade Marker:

Domini Canis and Ordo Calamitas bands will be unlocked as add-ons if crowdfunding gets to 15000 Goal. As Armored Wagon and Espectro de Dunas Rojas.

So I believe white knight, luidinuovo, and myself have mentioned we're waiting for this to ship. Anyone else?

As mentioned elsewhere, I am not sanguine about their choosing to stick with VRM as their casters. I fear they will do a garbage job if we get anything at all.

Is the project running behind then, or when was it supposed to be delivered?  Who is VRM?

Basically what's happened is their caster (a French 'firm', VRM miniatures, which according to their abortive website is owned by a François Verdier), has flaked out. Everything we hear about them makes them sound like completely worthless assholes who don't give a damn about honouring their agreements.

Tercio keeps trying to force VRM to do the casting and VRM has been stringing them along with promises that it'll be done, first November, then December, only now they've disappeared so even December looks unlikely. The sample figure isn't great either, with massive holes in it.

I wish Tercio would just abandon them and get another caster, but of course this will cost them more, so I suppose they're dragging their feet praying VRM will actually finish it and won't be too awful.

Tercio's communication has been atrocious though. Sometimes they've gone as a long as a month with no updates and this after things have gone pear-shaped.

That sucks.  Tercio Creativo has some really great stuff  :'(.  I guess its good for me that I didn't have funds at the moment to back this, hopefully it works out for you guys though!

Reading the comments is so painful. It's brutal how little business sense the Tercio owners have.

Basically they're STILL hoping VRM will cast the figures. For the love of god Tercio GIVE UP and drop those assholes. Get another caster. Get a plan B. The minis are sculpted. Everything is ready. All they do is tell backers to hold on while they send little email enquiries once a week to VRM, who ignore them.

Their most recent post said they're talking about speaking with a lawyer - for what? You can't sue someone to force them to do the work. They can just screw around and ignore any judgment - it's too easy for small sums like this. If Tercio has paid VRM already (Tercio hasn't clarified this yet), the money's gone. If I was them I'd be up there wringing VRM's neck.

Good lord guys, just give it up and get another caster. Eat the lesson. For god's sake I wish they'd get it through their stubborn skulls that they've been fucked by VRM.

There are a lot of us awaiting our figures, and I´m beginning to think that this one has been not a good idea. No more crowdfunding for me!

Ah, glad I dodged this bullet!  They almost got me to pledge too.  So far, there hasn't been a single KS campaign that I have passed up that I wish I had pledged for.
