Impudent Mortal's Warehouse District Terrain Kickstarter

[wdlanghans]

Hey guys!

Just wanted to give you a heads up about our current Kickstarter, the Warehouse District. We designed it for a super hero kind of vibe, and we also offer the buildings and other terrain with a 1.5" grid for those of you who need it We are already funded and only have 15 days left!

Some lovely stuff there - had you run this 12 months ago then I would have dived straight in.

Any idea when this will be available for normal purchase after the kickstarter?

It will be, I am in for a building (if only one and the scatter).

I hate to be 'that guy' .... but why is this on kickstarter?  You have several other kickstarters, which purchased the equipment you needed.  And I liked those kickstarters -- missed them, and still feel bad about not getting in on them.  But this doesn't look to be anything other than pre-sales.  You are designing the stuff yourself, right?  No new equipment needed for this ... I know you are adding on new designs, but it appears the main buildings are already designed and printable.

Am I missing something on this?

Backed. Now to tighten the belt to afford it.

I'm sorely tempted by this.  Will be watching. 

Incidentally, I saw on the KS page that You are in Buford, GA.  That's about 10 miles from me.  Small world.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

@ Maccwar - probably 4th quarter this year. It's going to depend on how long it takes to get the pledges out.

@ dwbullock - No worries

To answer your question, we originally used KS to start our company off. We rented time on a laser to get a few prototypes and went from there. Now what we use KS for is 3 things.

First it's a inexpensive way for us to test the market about our new designs. If people don't like it the line won't make it to the website, and all it's cost us is the R&D to develop the terrain vs, developing a line of terrain, making a bunch for inventory and then just having it sit there. Second, KS is a good way to get advertising. Ever project has the chance to go viral, and new people who might not have ever heard of Impudent Mortal come to KS every day so that's just more exposure for us. Lastly, and most importantly, it's a way of us giving back to the people who help get our company started in the first place. We post these projects, give them the ability to get this terrain before anyone else, AND put there 2 cents in for what additional terrain that they would like to see. A VAST majority of our current terrain is a direct response to what people wanted.

Kickstarter has evolved, it now not only helps get companies off the ground but it also provides a platform for business to expand based on the same crowd model.

@Doomsdave yes it is

Really nice stuff you've got there.  A bit rich for my budget, but from what I can see it looks to be worth every penny! I really like the way you've built in alot of features to make them more wargame-mini-friendly.

I had the pleasure to meet them this weekend and see much of their line in person...needless to say they robbed me of several dollars in exchange for great scenery! Plus many of the other guys walked away very happy with their products....I can say support the small companies and help them grow their line either through KS or online sales....plus if you have not checked out their website they have instructions online which some other MDF companies do not supply you.

Can't wait for the pool house to appear as a Super Hero base and the warehouse making on the WW2 and Superhero scene...who knows I got a stable also for WW2 but may work for Supers also..

Thanks for the kind words styx! We had a blast at Crucible 4!
