Spotted the sprues at Beasts of War:

I like the relative simplicity of these models, unlike Frostgrave soldiers, which have a million accessories hanging off belt to paint.  Would of been better to get these sprues -- since I am a newbie painter and hate spending hours and hours on a signle figure :P

Just want to back up the questions from AfricanAl and tyrionhalfman, are extra boxes/metals available to add to orders, as previous starters?
I fancy adding a Barbar Crowmaster and Javelineer but can't see a mechanism to do it.

Cheers

I wish that there were more helmeted heads, but otherwise the sculpts look great.  I'm jealous of the hammer; I wish that a hammer or proper mace were included within the initial soldiers kit.

All the human kits are cross-compatible, and Nick at North Star has even been combining the Gnolls and the Barbarians:

Is that model using the gnoll arms and weapon?  I haven't purchased the gnoll kit yet; how humanoid are the gnoll arms?  Would they easily pass off as human arms?

They're my least favourite part of the kit! Hate the horned barbarian look!

Very happy with what I am seeing here.  I am glad that they decided to model the daggers separate this time, the molded ones on the soldiers gave me kittens.  Not worried about the horned heads since there are plenty of other options. Going to place my order on Friday.

I also prefer Paypal, so I used Sally 4th to buy into the Nickstarter. Just don't like sharing my credit card info.

I'm fast reaching a point where I would love to purchase one of each of the sprues. (and maybe some fire forge sprues) I have no use for building entire armies but having one of each would be a  great source for building rpg characters.

I noticed they are doing some extra add-ons down the bottom of the page. Buy an extra box of barbarians. or 6 new soldiers

Forgotten Pacts Soldier Bundle Deal
The Forgotten Pacts Soldier Deal gives you six new soldiers for your Frostgrave games, and costs £15 rather than the retail price of £18 these will cost on general release.Four of the soldiers are all new classes introduced in the new supplement Forgotten Pacts. They are: Monk, Mystic Warrior, Demon Hunter and Assassin. Plus two of the soldiers are Cultist Captains, as featured in the eSupplement 'Sell Sword'.The deal is only available to people who have already bought a Nickstarter level. If you have not bought a Nickstarter level, your order will not be accepted. The six new Soldiers will be on general release in December 2016. The Bundle Deal will not be sent with the Nickstarter levels. It will be sent in a separate package in November.
Off to buy more soldiers then!
Sorry If someones already posted this.

I'm going to answer my own question, from earlier in the thread!

Having pledged and asked to add some of the metal figures, I received the following response:-

'....the individual packs are not yet available to add to orders. They will be made available towards the end of November.'

Hope that helps.
