Sad to hear, and understandable that he dropped of the map a bit, shame as I'm sure most people here would have been supportive of just dropping the plastics if he had said earlier. What happened with the fourth funder? I Was under the impression that other than the plastics, troublemaker ran a pretty smooth funder on each occasion.

Would be nice to see the blue werewolf back here sometime, especially as he is back making models for you.

Out of curiosity, what happens with the plastics now. Is it a case that once you run out of what you have there is no more, or do you now own them outright and can have more made/shipped from china once you have sold out? Do you intend to keep them flowing as part of you main stock line or will this be a one time thing?

Not sure what happened with funder 4 I was just told that in the end a loss was made.

There will be quite a few sprues left over after the pledges have been shipped these will appear in my store soon after that. Another two thousand unpaid for sprues remain with the agents these could be purchased if I so chose. Once the shipping contract on the pledges is concluded I will own the plastics mould so I could get more manufactured provided they sold well which i'm not sure they will.

Bottom line is if they sell I will get more :) if they don't then what I have now is it I won't spend money on stock that dosen't sell it wouldn't make sense.

Cheers

Hi!

Question moredakka. I bought about 20 of those sprues from Ben directly (not going through the kickstarter).

So you have my information?

I've already had several people contact me asking after their skinnerz big guns and just how many plastic sprues they should receive so hopefully to avoid answering the same questions a few dozen times i'll post that info here.

Big guns, original batch went missing somehow so a new mould has been commissioned to get another batch cast i've been told that these should be with me by end of this month or early next month, they will then be shipped out to you ASAP after that.

Right pledges now stand like this.

Sample pledge, 2 sprues plus bases
1 Army box, 6 sprues plus bases
Artillery pledge, 4 sprues plus bases with 2 human gun sprues and 2 of each skinnerz big gun
Anti air pledge, 4 sprues plus bases with 2 human anti air sprues and two skinnerz anti air sprues

If you had a just humans or just aliens pledge then you will receive a certain number of the whole sprue instead.

So all pledges will be those listed above or multiples/combinations of this list.

Cheers

First of all, thanks for taking up the responsibility for this and seeing it through. Feels strange to finally have these! Hopefully I can get enough bodies off them to make a small platoon of something, and the not-Chimera has turned out pretty cool.

But...

How many sprues should that be? I have received 6 of the main sprue after going in for just humans, which means I've got half of what I was originally expecting.

Have to say I was really confused as to what was in that box that was at home when I came home on Tuesday... and then a happy moment when I realised that the sprue's were here :)

Thanks to all involved in this long tale, good to get product in our hands.

@ Blindhorizon, thanks man I could do with a rest.

@ Riquende, thanks for the thanks. Ben gave me a listing of what everybody should get so that's what i've sent you. Remember the original army box would have had three sprues not six so you have twice as many as you would have had if Ben got his sums right that is.

@ MephistonAG, it's been hard work but i'm glad I could help out on this and get the pledges shipped, although now i'll be happy to see the back of it as i've spent around 30 hours packing pledges so far and i've sort of had enough.

Well, despite 2 responses to the updates that asked for address changes Ben still managed to give you my old address (lucky I keep in touch with the landlord), so I was kind of hoping for:

Code:
£25 GBP
A box of just Humans
You will receive a boxed set that includes six of the Human half of the plastic sprue (minus the Alien cannons), and two sprues of plastic bases. That's 12x vehicles, and thirty-two bases of infantry. Price includes UK postage; Please add £3 for international postage.
8 claimed
Estimated delivery: August 2013
Ships Worldwide


As I recall the sprue changed to have fewer things, and were to be doubled up. But maybe I'm misremembering, it was quite a while ago! Oh well. I guess it's nice to have them anyway. I've found someone to take the Orks off my hands at least.

@ Riquende, that's fortunate with the addresses, the doc with the addresses and pledges listed on it was not the best layed out document i've had to deal with in fact it was pretty poor. This has resulted in much copy and pasteing to get addresses assemled right for my label printer which is all additional work for me. I asked for a document with ready to use copy and pastable addresses on that's not what I received at all. Several addresses didn't even translate properly which means I need to contact Ben about getting those sorted right before shipping.

As for what you should receive I can only send that which was listed against your name, if you feel you should have got a few more sprues then please don't hesitate to contact Ben direct.

Cheers

Hello all, apologies if this is the wrong place.

I backed wave 1 of this far to long ago now and since then I've actually given up my wargaming completely bar reading about it, the kickstarter was a way of trying to stay engaged with it and branch out into 6mm, so, yeah that didn't work.

As a result I now have some 20 sprues of Skinnerz and Humans if someone wants to take them off my hands please send me a PM and we can sort something out. I believe I also have a couple of Churchillian bombers around as well.

Cheers,
