Yes, very original! And thank goodness it's an unarmored unbraided version  . Good luck with the KS, won't join but I will pick up a few items eventually.

[Cubs]

That's a Musk Ox, not a Yak.

Just sayin'.

Comments are always welcome, they can only do good after all... 

[Timbor]

Yup, a musk oxen indeed!

Regardless, I think it looks great! A very original miniature, I have not seen anything like it before.  Would love to get one eventually.

[Shieldwolf Miniatures]

Well, I can promise you the ice warbears are definitely going to be... bears!
Fantasy bears, but bears regardless!!

Ok, I've jumped on board. Would like to see more of the braids/plaited hair as mentioned. Also any extra fur/light armour torsos would be good. Not to keen on the giant weapons, but as it's plastic it's an easy get-around.

Any news about other troop types? Archers javlins/atl-atl etc.

The faith is much appreciated! Weaponry is not going to be that big, but yes, heroic scale for sure!

In the other kits, let's just say we started out with the "traditional" version.
Like we say on our rulebook (IIRC page 96) downloadable from our website, there are Shieldmaiden Rangers; these have missile weaponry...

Each of the boxes = 20 multipart HIPS miniatures!!! 

That could potentially make the boxed game valued at 100$ for 135 miniatures!!!

New Update!!! 

The Warmaidens have been revealed...

2 stretch goals down, 3rd is something like a few hundred $ away from being unlocked, and more to come!!! 

Take a look at this graphic here, isn't this deal amazing?

And the project is cancelled.

[FramFramson]

Well, that's a twist.

[Ogrob]

Seems like it's going to start getting hard to make people pledge money with this habit of cancelling projects.

Yeah, I had planned to get in for the boxed game despite it being pretty unlikely I'd ever need that many warrior maidens or orcs.
Someone in the KS comments mentioned this:

I'm not sure if this is an honest way to run a KS campaign.
You set a realistic funding goal and if that is met, you produce what you promised.
I have a bit of a problem with "Oh, but we had much more planned, we were hoping for more, let's cancel it despite being funded on the 2nd day".

I can't help but to agree with his/her sentiment. 

[Cubs]

I'm not sure they're using the term 'Funding Goal' in the same way everyone else does.
