[Kickstarter] Shieldwolf:War is coming (Battle Orc Wyvern review page #11!)

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

And here's the pic!



Off to the Siberias Lion Riders!!!!

33,000$ Stretch goal gives an additional model to all Orc Troopers... this should make things more interesting...

54mm scale Dragons show up!!! (Painter's delight...) 





And the rest of our enticing offers are still valid! Only 2 weeks left!

For all my vitriol at the start, I don't think that wyvern concept is too bad. At least the roof-shingle armour is metal plates strapped to it.

Is the male dragon rider going to get a bikini and an upskirt shot too, though?

[Vermis]

There are, what, two straps on the kev white tiger?  Of course he is going to put some extra detail on those straps when there are only two.  That is often the point of his sculpting style - less is more, low fantasy, simple, well defined and proportioned sculpts.  The Shieldwolf stuff is busier, high fantasy.

Glad you like it 
The 54mm scale model is aimed at painters and doesn't feature a rider (yet, maybe in the future but we didn't plan for one in this Campaign and we have already proceeded in enough changes to even think of considering any more).
The 28mm scale instead is necessary for the development of our game, so it goes with the rider. We also use Wyverns and Dragons without riders however, with different stats/abilites, so... 

Here's a close-up of the rider, commissioned to Paolo Fabiani.



As for our Siberias lions, we are very happy people are so thrilled about them on our campaign and from comments on other forums (even the largest Warhammer Elf forum has shown elevated interest!), so we still boast the most detailed fantasy lions ever to be sculpted in this scale. To each his own I guess, opinions may vary and this is ours... 

Anyone else wanting to see what our Lions are about and how large they are in real life (after all, they are Monstrous Cavalry!), here's a video from the largest Spanish reviewer, Forja y Desvan  to whom we sent one of our first resin casts to show off to their viewers!

And here's yet another video, coming close to the final week now! 

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

Finished and Funded!!!  

Thank you all, now time to move on and deliver as promised!  

As announced, we will not be launching any following KS campaign before delivering everything to everyone FIRST. We find it irresponsible and immature doing otherwise.  

Again, thank you all for the support!!!  

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

"Early Wave" ships on Thursday, that's less than a month from the project's ending! 

Hope everyone enjoys their rewards, we will keep you posted! 

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

Our next KS launches with the plastic shieldmaidens, we want however to sculpt some 3ups first and prove our commitment so here's asking what you prefer most!
Please vote 

Press to cast vote here!



Ah, "Early Wave" shipping has finished. It took us a staggering 28 days from project's funding date, we honestly don't think it can get any better than this and all due to the backers speed to fill out the Pledge Manager and the Team's non-stop hard work! Congrats to all!

Nice to see you guys keep pushing forward, also nice to hear the last KS is shipping early.  You don't hear that too often these days 

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

We make fun of companies launching one KS after the other (that is not an indirect hit to anyone but our personal logical opinion  ) when they have NOT delivered on the previous ones and are instead piling them up, it helps disguise financial problems and inevitably explodes when one KS doesn't cover the next. We are hoping it will not happen but would easily bet good money it will...  
We promised we will first deliver to everyone and then do a 2nd KS which at this point is a one-way ticket after the first KS although successful didn't reach expectations. And we mean business.  

As most of you have guessed Shieldwolf Miniatures is anything but a garage company, we have a set-up and facilities that allow us production at huge scale, unfortunately we are however currently lacking at choice of product. Hopefully in 3-4 years from now we will be established as one of the major army fantasy game manufacturers at 28mm scale.
Our deeds are going to prove this to those who supported us, Mountain Orcs plastics at 15$ for 20 models for example is definitely NOT happening again  , the lucky ones who supported us in KS got the deal, risk paid out very nicely. If a "money-back guarantee" can be considered a risk I mean   (which is also NOT happening on the 2nd KS, caused us more trouble than good!  )

Anyway, we have a long way to go still, appreciate all your support and kind words!

I wonder if today's vote is going to negatively impact the KS?

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

We will need to see what this 60%+ vote of "NO" to austerity will signal.
It is currently causing us some issues, yes. Banks are shut and therefore we cannot proceed to complete payments for example to our sculptors, not to mention funds are in there.
We had been ahead of shcedule(!) something very few Kickstarters manage and we have been working on KS-2, but this delay was surely out of our hands nor could we have foreseen it. 
It has also delayed our next update, we aimed for today (Sunday 5th) but probably will have to kick it back another couple of weeks...

Hopefully all will work out well...

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I know you must have a lot on your plate. I hope things can be sorted out quickly. I don't see any good for anybody in letting this drag out. Hoping for the best for you and for Greece.
