Turtletime!
« on: 04 March 2014, 09:30:38 PM »

And Mousers too!

Oooooh...isn't it luverly...RAWR...*CHOMP*...OUCH!

I only have to figure out how to pledge for 4 turtles. Seems it will be 28 euros + 6 euros shipping.

Tempting, but the lack of a clear "4 Turtles" option is discouraging. Can anyone with an Indigogo login ask them about this? I'm pretty sure it would mint coin for them.

This.  Im looking for the four turtles (and maybe a handful of not-Mousers) but Im not in the market for the rest.


Can anyone with an Indigogo login ask them about this? I'm pretty sure it would mint coin for them.

A clear way to get the four would have me pledging immediately.  I have asked Greebo Games via the Indiegogo sort of PM thing.  I will report back if/when they give me some info.

hhhmmmm...I love the look of those turtle models...but this campaign seems to lack focus!  Its all over the place...I think if he had the turtles and associated not-characters as well as a bunch of not-foot ninjas he would be selling a ton more then tying it these "blood bowl" teams...

The two they show look like fun to paint!

Cheers,

For sure Id say, but I guess they have their reasons.  More importantly, the project is funded and unlike KS, this Indigogo project is non-refundable, so they are committed to making the stuff shown, so I should finally have some turtles miniatures in hand in a few months, so that counts for something.

A simple one click option to get the TMNT stuff would be great though.

The two they show look like fun to paint!

They do dont they?  The design is a good blend of a cartoon style and a vague hint of plausibility.  Painting four of those would be a pleasure Id say.

I like the turtles, and the skaven team looks rather well done.  I don't understand the lack of four turtles though - and they mentioned "27mm" scale...so I wonder how big they are?

I can take or leave the rest, but I have been looking for decent 28(27?)mm TMNT figures for years and I like the style of these ones.

Casey is one of the weaker models for sure, but he is recognisable.  BeeBop and Rocksteady suffer a bit from being designed primarily for Blood Bowl, but the turtles - assuming we get sai and nunchuck armaments - are must haves for me.

The Turtles seem to be completly customizable, there's different head and weapon options, and that does seem to include a pair of sais but strangly not a pair of nunchucks, although it looks like there's a nunchuck/bow option
