I figured I'd share another sweet kickstarter that just went live today.
There's a new Kickstarter for white metal figures by Red Box Games with some really cool barbarian figures that have interchangeable parts and very achievable goals to unlock some awesome heroes.
Here's what it says:
Please help Red Box Games to fund the production of a new set of Fantasy Barbarian hordesmen and their Powerful Heroes!
This is to fund the production of these new Helsvakt hordesmen figures. These figures will be produced in high quality white metal by a very reliable and tested production partner with a proven track record for great castings and reliable delivery.
The figures I intend to offer for funding are the semi modular HelsVakt Hordesmen and two hero figures. The Hordesmen set includes 6 bodies fitted for universally interchangeable heads ( 1 sprue of 6 options ), right hands with weapons ( 2 sprues of 3 options ) and left side shields ( 2 sprues of 3 options) and 6 25 mm round bases.
Already pledged for some Tre-goodness.
He's a really good sculptor and a great guy. I'm happy to help him out and back his projects.
Off to a great start in 2 days! Already blew through the first stretch goal to be able to do an add-on hero, the second add-on stretch goal is less than $300 away. Come get you some awesome figures!
Has blown through the Stretch goal for Hero #2, Tre is now working on "the Craven" and they look awesome so far. Less than $3k to unlock this stretch goal!
Their first two got way too big and were late by 8ish months each. Their most recent one remained manageable and delivered a month and a half late. I've never heard of anyone actually not receiving minis. This one looks like it's going to not do the hundreds of stretch goals thing, so I'd guess maybe a month or two late.
I've received everything from the two I've supported (Red Box Games Dwarves, and Goblins, and Orcs Oh MY!! and Red Box Games Norse Warrior Miniatures) - and those have been shipped internationally.
Some of the delays have been out of Tre's hands, though, but mentioned as possible delays (i.e. delays from the casters of the minis).
The delays have been minimal (except for the very first one, which I didn't participate in, but he has learned a lot from the mistakes he made with that one).
I'm very confident in backing this and any future Kickstarters from Tre. Small delays I can easily handle (I have plenty of other minis to paint).
Yep, he's making it a smaller KS to get quality figures out in the hands of his supporters. Learned a lot from his first couple of ventures. He's a good guy and does amazing work so I'm supporting this one as well.
As of writing this, the kickstarter is less than $900 away from hitting its 3rd stretch goal "the Craven" which are going to be awesome.
13 days to go!
The 3 Craven have been UNLOCKED!
Third Hero "Bloody Garm" is less than $1.4k away from being unlocked and Tre just announced he's currently sculpting a 4th Hero, A female Craven called "Valda the BlackHearted."
Also announced is that he will be doing a Limited Edition pledge level of the 4 Heroes in Resin, he's currently getting the financials worked out to let us know what the pledge amount will be to get those.
Only 10 days to go now.
New update with only 5 days remaining on this awesome kickstarter!
Currently all of the Craven are unlocked and 3 out of the 4 heroes are unlocked, next stretch goal is less than $2k away now and this will unlock the last Hero (Craven Heroine).
The Limited Edition Resin sculpts only available for this kickstarter are for the 4 heroes and can be added to any pledge level for $20 each (metal are $8 each).
Only 6 hours left!
Doesn't take a lot to get the last stretch goal, 6 really cool barbarian/norse undead.
Thanks for the reminder! I had some additional changes to my original pledge to commit.
Project funded. I'm looking forward to a set of barbarians, a set of craven (really looking forward to these, they look awesome!), 1 set of draugr, 1 svartulf the savage, 1 hakar the horrible, 1 bloody garm and 1 valda the black hearted.
