Hello everyone, an update regarding the production. It appears that the factory will have a minor delay with Chinese New Years coming up on the 25th. From what I gathered, it was mostly related to being able to box and prepare it for freight in time. Work should resume in the coming weeks in February.

Just wanted to touch base with everyone. For those eagerly awaiting the fauns and centaurs, we are currently waiting on final confirmation of sprues and boxes. This time of year is one of the hardest for Chinese factories preparing to go into the new year, so it will be a tight schedule as we near into February.
On that note, we heard good news from the pewter end, and we should have prep work done toward the end of February. More details to come on that.
With that good news, we should be able to resolve shipping soon.
Thank you everyone for your patience!
Robert

Explanation of the two wave shipping

Hello everyone, this is Robert. As you might have heard we are slated to begin releasing the fauns and centaurs in January. After assessing the quotes and resources, we are opting to split the plastic and pewter phases into a two wave shipment.
Here is what is being done:
Plastic is being made retail ready for January. By doing this, we allowed ourselves to open up revenue sources between preorders and wholesale orders. The logic in this is that we can speed up the deposit on the remaining pewter production. Plastics were much faster to ready then pewter into the Chinese new year.
As you are the backers, we did not want to alienate you by sending the fauns into the world before you get a crack at yours, so we are providing faun and centaur access in January. Your shipping has been paid, so no extra charges will be assessed in this two wave scheme.
Materials were roughly 14k for plastics, and another 9.5k for pewter.
In the meantime, we have great news: fauns and centaurs will be made available in the UK and US retail channels. Andy Zek is also set to reprise his role as painter for the hard plastic centaurs.
The last little bit of work left is a box design for the centaurs, which will follow a similar style to the faun warband above. Plastic production will be ran while we sort it. Tim is helming the job, giving us the professional look you would expect.
Until then, I await the fauns eagerly in January. We will begin shipping soon.
Thank you for your support, and I hope we come to a great kickstarter conclusion.
Robert
