Cards have been charged, Centaur sprue layout updated with more parts.
over 6 years ago – Fri, Oct 04, 2019 at 12:20:08 AM

Alright everyone, we have locked down backerkit add ons. You'll have noticed a charge on cards in likelihood, and with this we are entering the final stretch. Everything from here on is preparing the products for shipment to the mainland. 

Survey kits can have their addresses changed until the absolute last minute if you need it, [email protected] for support inquiries. 

Two sculptors have the final sculpts assigned, the rifles and the minotaurs. Tim is also helping coordinate a new box cover, which a hint is starting below.  We liked the art cover previous, but to bring it up to a modern standard, we decided to incorporate a new color coordination, with heavier emphasis on models on the box. Thanks to you, we should be able to bring these to retailers as far as the UK and AUS (bragging rights of course to you for being first in).  Everyone here is first priority. 

On that topic, Wargames Atlantic came back to us with the centaur/combo sprue layout. I was absolutely impressed how much we fit in here. Again, it was a tough call with legs, so we are evenly proportioning the females and males 4:4:1 with the centaur sprue in each box. Males have two dual wielding axes, and the polearm (and bits), females have a dual wielding hook sword and falx. There is a bronze plate, and leather cuirass, regular light covered chests for males and females, and a standard chest from the first sprues. 

Sneak peek into our minds at the moment...

Sorry for the lack of updates during September, we've been dealing with some down time in mainland China. Everything is still going well.

Final Notice, 48 hours
over 6 years ago – Tue, Oct 01, 2019 at 11:32:55 PM

Hello everyone, I just want to make sure everyone is taken care of before the last stretch. 

We have about 30 outstanding surveys we need to complete, and I've hit the final 48 hour button to make sure everyone who was still undecided had a chance to go over their options before the charges start and we are locked in for item numbers. 

November appears to be our production start point, partially in pewter, but a big chunk of it in plastic once the centaur mold is finished. We are going to be in sprue envy as we are expecting thousands of sprues to be coordinated from China to the US.

If you need access to your survey point, the link is down below. Any questions, feel free to PM me or send them to [email protected]. I aim to get problems solved the day they are asked.

Side note, any cards that need to be updated, I highly encourage it now. 

Female Faun Painted First Sample

Hello folks, we have from Andy Zeck the first sample of the female faun painted. When we get more from his table, we will let you know. I am quite happy to see how well they coexist with the male.

Centaur/Bonus Sprue

We got the initial plans from the centaur sprue plan back and decided to even out the females a bit better. The x indicates that we removed the extra dual wielding weapon for the males, and in place we integrated the female falx and 4k attachment to even out the lack of 2h option for the female centaur. Also, we knocked out one more male torso (males still have 3) and on board are one new torso and one of the normal np pose torsos from the female sprue. In addition, we are aiming for at least two heads for the females. We are hoping to get them in either around the horses, or with the size gap with the swap outs. As you noticed, it's pretty packed. 

Please note due to the lack of legs, we will be evening out the male and female boxes to a perfect 4:4 ratio, with the centaur/bonus torso a means to add more flavor to your models. 

In the end, the centaur sprue will be able to have fully independent centaurs, so you are not forced to take away from your faun sprues. 

Female Sprue

If you haven't seen it yet, here is your glimpse at the new sprue accompanying the male. Im still awaiting them myself, but got some shots sent over. Notice the new shields? They came out very well.
