You're missing a minor detail. From the outset the Monolith have mentioned the pledge manager being just around the corner.
I don't care to wait, but it irritates me a bit when something is mentioned on a slightly regular basis and still haven't been launched. Have the scale of the ks gone a bit over their heads? Probably. Is it wise to mention something that still is months away? Probably not. There has been some ragequitting due to this subject. I always assume that every ks is a scam and then buy into them.

I want it now but then I want everything now. But saying that with the amount of extra minis and expansions I am very surprised that Monolith are in position to promise anything. But saying that they stated that the PM will be middle to the end of this month and the delivery date still stands, I guess they have to as with other Conan games coming onto the market they dont want to jumped and lose out.

I actually believe Monolith's last update where they said the last lot of minis are being sculpted, rendered now and I commend them in there actions of delaying the PM until they have all the minis ready. If they get the game out in October I will be as pleased of Larry and if it is delayed by a couple of months I still be please as CROM demands this game

I don't know what the Conan team expected out of this KS but I'm sure they never thought it would initially fetch over 3,5 million dollars. So yes, that needs a bit more work and maybe some slightly change of planning/scheduling, but that's fine with me.
And it's not that they play the silent game either. Lead Adventurer Eithriall - who I guess knows slightly more inside info than he cares to admit - keeps us posted with every update at least once a week and answers all of our questions. Just last night I read this topic from the start and these guys not only did a splendid job with this project but also the development of the project and the communication feel good to me.
So yes, they still will have my money, the only problem with the delay is that I might get myself a second set funds permitting  :D.

I rather wait a bit longer and have a well thought out and tested pledge manger instead of one that is not fully functional. As for keeping us updated, I see regular updates with nice pictures, so no complaning from my side, Monolith makes me a happy man :)

Wait... I though they'd already posted a conventionally-sculpted green for Salome/Taramis?

EDIT: Went back and checked again. Huh, I guess not.

Stuff looks great. I'm not irritated with the timetable at all. KS requires patience or  you're just asking for anxiety.

I wonder how many sculpts are left to complete Eithriall as you seem to be the man in the know

I'm not from Monolith but I know that a lot of stuff is ready...And they will show it at the time (but some of the sculptors seem in a hurry to show their beautiful works and Monolith doesn't censor them so...).

Damn, I thought I wouldn't be tempted by that sabertooth, but it looks good. I may need to think some more about my addons.
