Hey, the world is our oyster since everything is being created!  o_o

I like all the suggestions brought up. I would love to see some cyber-peasants... kinda like ragged peasants in medieval-type garb but including a few cables and computer bits fused to their skulls/bodies.  Then some sort of futuristic sickles, pitchforks, farming implements etc. Someone has to grow the food in space!

Also, if you were worried about the timeline for adding more stuff to the range, I don't think any backers would be put off if you stipulate two waves of delivery - for those pledging just for the initial figures, stick to the original timeline, and if you want to add the new figures, give a second timeline. Backers could have the option of paying for one or two shipments depending on how long they wish to wait.

Of course this will add more logistical work to you, and I have heard that it can be challenging to take lots of varied orders through KS, but at least you still have 29 days of campaign to figure it out  ;)

Not a bad idea, Tim, like it, it fits what Igor and me were already discussing, namely kinda "Bruegelburg in Space" :)

As we quite unexperienced on running KS campaigns, I think it's probably better not to try to create an additional shipping flow now :)We really need to go through it first. Though we are thinking about offering one or two stretch goals for you guys :) Apart from that we've been asked by several backers to offer the possibility to buy stuff from our other ranges like an add-on. These are the next points on our agenda for the moment. Then we will see :)

I think you've got an excellent range with your 19 figures. Little alien creatures are a nice, quick and pretty simple addition to the range, without branching out into more themes. Similarly, sci-fi crates for the 'After Work' set to sit on, trade good for the traders, consoles for the crew, tracked scanner-bots for the engineers would all be great little additions if you wanted to create any stretch goals.

I personally see little 'infill' elements like this as a better approach to consolidating your current KS than starting to explore themes which could be held back for any future expansion/future KS.

For your first KS absolut enough. I think the next step will be the hardest, packing all and sending it. So, you made everything very good, I thing. After the AvP-Desaster I have a very good feeling about this.

My thoughts exactly  ;) You have lots of time to figure it out though, so no need to cram them into this campaign... you guys are the ones doing all the work, after all lol

Thanks for the comments, guys! As Jon said, exploring a new theme is not really an option as this realy would mean to postpone the delivery date. You need to keep in mind that Igor is in Moscow and we usually need several weeks to get finished stuff from him into our hands. But we have something in reserve, so keep watching :)

Set 08 - Krogloggs (Aliens)


The one on the left is perfect!  You've captured my moobs, hairy belly and general grumpiness exactly!  Although you could have used pretty much any wargamer as a model... :D

Oh yeah - backed  ;)

I'm a happy backer too and really looking forward to having them in my hands :-*. I'm totally in for a Bruegelburg in Space for future releases o_o, all kind of weird dwellers, barter merchants (stalls, gravitic wheelbarrows!), beggars, street musicians, food vendors, surveillance drones, advertising drones... Shut up and take my money! :D
