[kickstarter] Westfalia's Halfmen - Many thanks!

[Schrumpfkopf]

Well, you could consider making an announcement that certain new stretch goals cannot be completed in time for the delivery of March, so if anyone wants them in their order they would have to wait an extra couple months.  Better to do that than rush and release an inferior product.

Yes, I was thinking about that, but I rather get the campaign finished the way it was intended to. That, and I am not interested in doing miniatures for they money alone. I am quite proud of the quality that we're doing. I want to make toys for the inner child. :--)

As for the success, you have done a great job with promoting the range, sending out samples, and getting the community involved with your progress.

 
Thank you and thanks to everybody who helped imprving the minis!

It helps that you have a cracking sculptor working for you as well!  

Because without him all my efforts would be nothing. :--)

[Modhail]

Well, my inner child is grateful to you and your sculptor(s)!

Shame there are no peasantry archers, I guess I will wait for the next KS .

Congrats.

As good as it would be to have figures like that as part of this particular range, I think the strength of the range is the fact that it fills in a lot of things that have not been available elsewhere.

Hopefully they do come along at some point, but I think archers can be filled in with other figures in the meantime, like Mirliton/Grenadier, Black Tree, Goblin Factory, Black Hat, etc. Won't be a perfect match, but will get us by until then.

I really want to deliver on time so I left a couple of things out.

There will be a 2nd wave however with les uniformity but adventurers, civilians and light cavalry. I am pretty sure that we'll see the peasant archers at this point.

Oh, YES!  You're a horrible man you know, this Kickstarter isn't even finished and you're already making us greedy for the next one...  (Excellent customer retention though! So you've definitely got things right.)

[tradgardmastre]

second wave sounds most exciting too...
Have you thought of making round doors,windows and other resin items to aid scratchbuilding hobbit holes?

Oh.

I haven't thought of that, but it's a most interesting idea.
I am fairly certain that we'll see this in the next KS. :--)

Thank you very much. :--)

Well, now I went and got the mercenary human and an ogre, the peg-legged fellow with the cannon. Still seriously tempted to go for some more ogres.

I hope you are happy Schrumpfkopf, feeding my addiction to good miniatures and well-run Kickstarters like that 

[Timbor]

So, have we broken the last of the stretch goals then, or can we expect more to be posted?

I am happy like a fish in the water :----)
Also - I've mentioned it but it might've gotten lost. The peg leg ogre will come with 2 feet and a hat. An alternative version will come with a rather fancy peg leg tho. I hope that's alright for you.

I really think that the last SG was maxing it out. That said do I always have something nifty left. Just in case things keep growing. ;--)

I must have missed that, thanks for telling me! That's a common problem with kickstarters, information tends to 'drown' in the stream of comments, updates etc etc.

Yep - I was really thinking on how to tackle that issue beside the obvious updates but couldn't think of a solution.

[Rhoderic]

I hope this isn't an inappropriate thread to post this, but I did a test paint on the Halfling sample Schrumpfkopf sent me earlier.



A joy to paint! I do love it when sculptors design their figures so as to actually be fun and not frustrating to paint.

[Timbor]

Great job!  I agree that there is a fine balance between enough and too much detail on a figure, especially a rank and file.  These ones tread it nicely!
