Thaw of the Lich Lord Nickstarter launched

[nicknorthstar]

It's already been mentioned here  but the Nickstarter pre-order program for the next Frostgrave book, Thaw of the Lich Lord, was started today.

You can read all about it here:
 http://nstarmagazine.com/FROSTGRAVE_LICH_LORD.htm

There will be new Frostgrave figures coming out over the next month as well, including Mr Copplestones 'evil' Barbarian, Thief and Tracker. These will be available to pre-order by Nickstarter participants, and on general release late November.

I've just bought the Level 4 "Lich Wizard" package, plus the Lich Lord figure.  Looks like a great addition to the game.

Please make clear what is and is not exclusive to the Nickstarter.  What won't I ever be able to buy unless I do the Nickstarter.  As it stands now, it seems everything will eventually be available for purchase after the Nickstarter.  This is important to know.  Thanks!

Are the new tokens used 3/game or 3 per player?

The Nickstarter isn't about limited-edition models – All the stuff not listed as a freebie will definitely be available later ("Thaw of the Lich Lord products will be on general release after the 20th of November 2015"), and even the freebies will probably be released at some point (the site does say: "Nickstarter Thaw of the Lich Lord free items may go on sale at some point in the future").

The emphasis is on discounts, early release and free models: "We are making it worth your while with a bit of discount and some free and unique models that won't be immediately available to anyone else".

So, you will be able to buy all the models when they're officially released, but pre-ordering gets you stuff sooner, for less money AND with some free models.

3 per player, just as for a normal Frostgrave scenario.

Roll on pay day.

Though as someone who backed the first Frostgrave Nickstarter but didn't buy all the extras, there are a few metal figures I wish I had bought as they are not now available...so probably best to get in now.

[nicknorthstar]

Like Phil said, the free figures will be in packs later on. But it probably won't be until next summer before you can buy the Gnoll Chieftain.

I can't see me selling the free 'evil' treasure tokens any time soon either.

Cheers

Nick,

The description for the Dark Couldron says it's metal in the first sentence and resin in the second sentence.
I'm not criticizing, just letting you know.

Thanks for the info, Phil

Any option for just the cards & Book? Seems that the cards only turn up in the higher tier pledges, and whilst new soldier types are interesting, I'm more interested in rules when I have tons of models to play with already. =/

Cards are available as a £7.50 add-on at any backer level.
