Red Box Games third kickstarter!


Miniatures


Red Box Games third kickstarter is live! The initial goal is to raise 5000$ for the Goblin Foot Men. Some Dvergar (dwarven) foot men is the first strech goal (WIP shot here) followed by what looks like some really cool orc foot men (concept art here).

If you want to help to expand the RBG miniature line and get some kickass miniatures while doing so, you can find the kickstarter here


I often salivate over Tre's minis and given the option of getting some of his back catalogue for less ($7 vs. $8.99) on top of some of his new work is seriously tempting.
Only problem is the shipping part. Shipping that many metal minis from the US to Europe is going to be quite expensive.

Sovereign Court

He's posted some shipping estimates.


Those shipping costs aren't as bad as I feared.
Hmmm, tempting, tempting.


I was expecting that the shipping might be pricy overseas but I was willing to bite the bullet, but if the estimates hold it doesn't seem like I have to. Seems quite managable.

The kickstarter has reached its original goal and the first stretch goal by the way. The orcs have been divided into two smaller stretch goals as well.


By the sounds Tre is making (nothing to do with his strep throat I'm sure) this is about to get very interesting for those who like orcs with a more "old school" look, i.e. with a bit more snout-like faces.
Several orc choices are being lined up according to him.

Sovereign Court

I'm looking forward to him putting up more WIPs of the orcs and the njorns, and the concept art for the KS exclusive mini.


The modular njorns just funded! WIP shots here and here.


Pledged for 7 ranks so far.
Ymir's Band (9) - I love dwarves and here's a good variety of characters.
Wraith Knights A (6) - Cool undead! Great for several types of ethereal undead.
Lesser undead A (9) - Some great zombies!
Aenglish Watchmen A (4) - Great for city watchmen.
Dvergr Footmen A (6)- Dwarves! (although they are "expendable" if something cooler comes along)
Njorn Footmen (4) - Can function as heavier armoured watchmen/fighters.
???? - interesting to see what comes up down the line.

Now I just have to figure out how many of the singles I can afford.

Sovereign Court

The next stretch goal is for an orc hero fig. Will fund at 25k.

I'm going for:

A dwarf war party
Ymir's Band
DVERGR BRYNJAR A
DVERGR BRYNJAR B
Dvergr Footmen A

Rounding out my goblins
Troll Brothers
Goblin Footmen

Orcs
Orcs
Any future orc stretch goals x 3

For ten ranks total.


4th Orc of the first Orc ranks is done (bar the weapons).
Next up should be more sculpts of the Njorn and the Orc hero.
Again, if you're a fan of more "old school" bestial/pig-faced Orcs, you'll love Tre's Orcs in his own style.


I'm in for ten ranks. As I don't own any Red Box minis, there are going to be some tough decisions on what to get here. As of now, my plan is:

Orcs x2 (to make one set of armored, and one set of unarmored orcs; I really like these brutes!)
Goblin Footmen
Runty Goblins
Njorn Footmen
Aenglish Watchmen
Dire Wolves
Troll Brothers
Wraith Knights
Zombies

But damnit, I still haven't completely ruled out Ymir's Warband, Infernal Horrors, and the Nether Beasts... And then we also have the solos to waver back and forth on... A lot of nice stuff here.

Sovereign Court

There's a t-shirt now that looks pretty spiffy.


And orc brutes w. two-handed weapons is up after the orc hero.

I really dig the t-shirt motif (it helps being from Scandinavia for some reason ;-)) - I just hope it comes in big enough sizes.
Although I'm easy to spot in a crowd it does tend to have a negative impact when it comes to buying clothes.


Yeah, so to summarize the upcoming stretch goals we have:

$25K - Orc hero ($10 add-on)
$30K - 4 Orc brutes with two-handers (a rank selection)
$36K - 4 Goblin wolf riders ($25 add-on)
$40K - Goblin wolf rider hero ($10 add-on)

I'm especially hoping (and think) that we'll reach the orc brutes. Only 4 days left though!

Indeed! Sweden here, you're Denmark right?

That's a bingo!


Slowly closing in on the orc hero here... Only 69 hours to go people!


The orc hero is funded!
And Tre has added a lot of extra singles he had overlooked + some smaller singles (goblins, dwarves and halflings).


And now the orc brutes are achieved!!! Only 18 hours left, but lets go onwards towards the wolf riders!!!


Three hours left, and around $2,000 to the wolf riders... A nail biter, for sure, but I think I'm starting to believe we'll make it!


Yeah, so many lovely miniatures. And perfect for either a tribe of Orc-ish people in Pathfinder or for expanding a fantasy army.

And the individual mini's are amazing too.


The wolf riders are in (at 35000$ instead of 36000$)!
