Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. The Kickstarter is now live.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2104924145/28mm-ancient-chinese-warring-states-qin-dynasty-mi

We are four days away from our Kickstarter (Monday, March 23 at 12pm EST) and we have been hard at work trying to finish up our Cavalry and add some more concept art so you can visualize each of our Stretch Goals. We placed some new pictures of our digital sculpts for the four different cavalry variants and added some new art for war machines and support heroes. Check out our pictures on our website or Facebook page.

The Warring States range will include the core elements of an ancient Chinese army including infantry equipped with a wide range of weaponry, light and heavy chariots, various types of cavalry and the officers to lead them. Building on top of the core range will be two more launches including a fantasy element and support troops such as animated Terracotta warriors, dragons, undead warriors, exorcists, war engines, siege bows, shield-bearers, and  war drums to name a few.

No force would not be complete without the myriad of war machines and support options that make fielding armies unique. Adding a variety of support choices can turn your standard army into a potent offensive force or a immovable solid stone wall. The army support options maintain a more historical feel to the army and may be included in both historical and fantasy games.

Very much my period and I have been eagerly following progress for some time.  I am yet to back a kickstarter and am really hoping this will be structured in a way that I will be unable to resist but being totally honest when I read "Be sure to Like us on Facebook as it will have a direct impact on the types of freebies we give away during our Kickstarter" I am somewhat put off as I do not do Facebook. Lets see what Monday brings, best of luck.

I am glad you are excited about the project and don't be put off about the Facebook information. You don't have to be on Facebook to benefit from the promotion just as long as we get enough 'Likes' from others. Again, it will open up freebies but not impact the overall structure of the Kickstarter. I believe you will be happy with the format and we are hoping to post a preview before we launch on Monday.  Stay tuned......
