Macrocosm: Dark Dwarves Kickstarter

Macrocosm haben ihren neuen  Dark Dwarves Kickstarter am laufen:

Welcome to the new project from Macrocosm Miniatures.

Who are we?

Macrocosm Miniatures is a small company based in Tewkesbury in the UK. We set up last year with the goal of bringing a retro style of miniatures to your tabletop. We have already run 2 successful Kickstarters in the past and we are hoping to make it a 3rd with this project.

The Projekt?

We are looking to get £1000 of funding to pay for the moulding and production of several new units for the Dark Dwarves range creating a much larger army to choose from.

The New Miniatures

We are looking to put the following new miniatures into production.

• A unit of 5 Crossbows
• A unit of 5 Double Handed Axe men
• A unit of 5 Warriors with Axe and Shield
• A mortar with 2 crew
• A Bazooka Weapons team
• A unit of 5 Bezerker Dwarves
• 2 more Beasts
• 2 weapon teams with gattling guns or flame throwers.

Now that is a lot of new miniatures to add to the existing range below.

How Pledges Work

 Each pledge level gives you a number of pack options to chose from. The packs and their contents are listed below.

After the Kickstarter you can send us a list of the chosen packs using the pack numbers.

Pack 1. Handgunners x 5
Pack 2. Crossbows x 5
Pack 3. 5 Great Axe V1
Pack 4. 5 Great Axe V2
Pack 5. 5 Axe and shield
Pack 6. 3 Dwarven Lords
Pack 7. 1 Mortar with Crew
Pack 8. 2 Bazooka Teams
Pack 9. 3 Beasts (counts as 2 pack picks)
Pack 10. 1 Flame Weapons Team
Pack 11. 1 Gattling Gun Weapon Team
Pack 12. 5 Bezerkers
Pack 13.  Trolls x 2 Resin miniatures
Pack 14. Troggs x 5 (WIP)
Pack 15. Trolls V2 £3000

Each pledge on the Kickstarter gives you a set amount of packs to choose from. In the case of £200 pledge it is 26 (and a free lord). Each of the packs in this case will be £7.69 (or there about) When the packs go to retail they will be between £10 and £12 each. So the retail point of this pledge is between £264 and £316 (lord is £4). This pledge then saves you £64 to £116 off retail…..

As you can see from the images some of these miniatures have yet to make it to moulds. Some (like the Troggs) are still works in progress (spikes and detailing to be added to weapons ect) so please bear this in mind. We will be updating the images as items are completed.

The miniatures will be cast in metal apart from the Trolls and Maw Cannon which will be resin.

Stretch Goals:

£1500 – Trolls (Unlocked). 2 Trolls, separate heads that fit both bodies.. Each set of 2 counts as 1 of your picks.

£2000 – Troggs (Unlocked). 5 Slave race Troggs count as 1 of your picks.

£3000 – Trolls V2. 2 more Trolls with separate head, again each set of 2 counts as 1 pick.

£4000 – Maw Cannon. A Living monster cannon.

£5000 – Eviscerator. A warmachine being pushed by a Beast.

Addons:

As well as being able to add packs to your current pledge for £8 each
we will be offering a selection of other miniatures to help fund the project.  Below are some Monster Balls, these come in handy when making up the Kings of War army from the list below. We also have a small selection of Dark Dwarves we will be offering as singles.

To add a pack/miniature to your pledge just increase your pledge amount by the cost of the choices.

For you fans of Kings of War the Rules Committee has written out an army list specifically for these wee chaps. It does count as a fan list and is not usable in their official Mantic tournaments, however it is allowed at Macrocosm sponsored tournaments and for friendly play. The list is being playtested and Chris Morris welcomes your feedback, it will likely be updated throughout this campaign. We hope you join us on this project and we would love to see your painted armies gracing the worlds wargaming tables soon.

Sculptors – Original Dark Dwarves by Sjoerd Trouwee. New miniatures by Rob Alderman, Paul Naylor, George Flamb, Chris Nicholls and Ross Whitehorn.

Postal Charge:

 We are charging the following flat rates to backers to receive all your items in one shipment. As we add goals it might be the case that we need to push back the delivery dates to include any of the new items. You can opt to have your pledge delivered in separate waves at the end of the project (so you dont have to wait for the newer items), but each wave of shipment will incur the following charges.

UK – £5
Europe – £7
ROW – £10

We will be using Royal Mail to ship all the pledges.

Der Kickstarter läuft noch 24 Tage.
