Sweet! That means I'll get both the superheavies and the gobblers.

I won't change it, because we haven't got our final design locked in with the factory (yet) but I have added a picture of a better sprue to the front page.

You know, I doubt anyone would be shocked if you'd put a picture of a sprue that might not be the one produced instead of one that is certain not to see the light of day.

Ok I'll change the title image, but I'm keeping the obsolete one on the main page. I can't commit to the better sprue until I hear from the factory.

Red Gobblers and Obblers (or whatever they are)... I like it!

I get that you don't wan't to commit to something unsure. But trust me, it is MUCH better to have a nice picture with a large, bold disclaimer saying that it might not be the final product, than an image showing an outdated and poorer product, with large, bold announcement that in the end, you'll get something better.

edit : so much better than actually, anyone selling anything should consider the second one to be commercial suicide.

Yah. The factory says we can actually produce the sprues with a red/green split, too!

(the Alien cannons will have to be green unfortunately because they're on the wrong side of the split, alas).

That's nice !

I don't think I ever saw a two colour plastic sprue actually. Sounds pretty high-tech.

I suppose it is free of charge. Since we will mostly add multiple layers of colorful paint, plastic hues matters little to me.

Yup it shouldn't cost any extra.

I don't care either, but it's still nice. Of course, if I had to chose between an extra pose and a 2 colour sprue...

Nah it doesn't cost us anything apparently, the machine we'll be using can simply inject plastic from two hoppers at once.

I love the savage look to the huge orc leader. A little bit of fantasy looks great with sci-fi.

I'll be placing my order tonight. I'm sorry that I'm one of the last to place my order, Ive been made to go on holiday and spend money there.

Looking forward to a factory screw up and both colours accidentally mixing together and having some really psychedelic looking miniatures!

So long as you get the funding campaign over 10K, it's fine to pledge late. Last days are always crazy. Ben, would the leader sprue only contain one leader for each race ?

I know, I know it's free stuff, but I really like the current sculpts, and if there were a melee weapon wielding leader AND a shooty weapon wielding leader per side, everyone would be happy :D

I recon that if you make it a 5 men metal sprue with 2 leaders/standard bearer/officer per side, plus something silly and funny (I don't know, a 6mm toad figure ? a monk ? a moonlighting gobbler ?) for the fifth sculpt, free for everyone who pledged, say 2 boxes or more, you'd get to 10K before the end. I Know it's starting to look like the 10K goal will be reached even without that, but that would be a grand conclusion.

Can you say it ? Collector edition werewolfware.
