Halflings and fantasy friends!

The Final Friday Update
almost 5 years ago – Fri, Jul 26, 2019 at 08:27:21 PM

Hi all

Welcome to what is going to be our final weekly update and I hope one of the best! I may do a couple of updates here in the future when I have other things to share but this will be the last scheduled post.

Lets see what you have been up to

Dave Xavier shared the following photos of his paint jobs!

The Next Campaign

The next campaign is coming really soon! Our plan is to launch on Friday the 9th of August and run for just over two weeks until Monday the 26th. It features two armies just like this one did, fighting amongst the sandstorms in a desert of the undead. Alongside the army of mummies we have previously spoiled there is an army of elves!

Naturally we have a few halflings in there too ;)

Another adventurer box is part of the project. Check out the Barbarian below!

A brand new themed RUMBLESLAM team with superstars.

New MDF scenery

Oh and something for CARNEVALE fans in our first Kickstarter cross over from our Venetian tabletop game. You don't get to see that yet though!

I suppose it would be rude to not show something more from the mummy army wouldn't it.

The Kickstarter will be run through our sister company TrollTrader using their KS account as Lewis and the TTCombat team need this one for the Stellaris campaign we have coming soon! 

Gen Con

Next week we have some of the miniatures from this campaign available for purchase for the very first time at GenCon. Don and the guys are there from Thursday and I am flying in on Thursday evening with some models for display in the cabinets. Come and see some prints from the new campaign among other things from Friday! We are making two army deals available during the show via ttcombat.com they will be gone again on Monday morning so if you want to get some more miniatures before retail release this is your last chance!

Retail Release

Warlord are releasing a bunch of our halfling models under the Warlords of Erehwon logo. They are in smaller size regiments than what we had listed in this campaign and will be available mid August.

We will begin selling the models and scenery from this campaign via ttcombat.com in September.

Thank you

Finally one last big thank you to everyone who backed this campaign. You made it such a great experience to run for both myself and the rest of the team here at TTCombat! Hopefully see you on the next one

Hi all!

The update is a little early this week as I am off being dragged around IKEA tomorrow.

Your Miniatures!

Thanks for the great pics I keep getting, here is a look at some of what you guys have sent in this week.

Another look at the coming campaign!

The next project is ready for launch but we are just working out how its coming to you. We have another Kickstarter which will be hot on its heels in the form of our Stellaris tabletop game and as such may set up a separate account to continue running these fantasy campaigns. More on this soon, in the mean time, how about more renders and art?

GenCon

Its only days away now and lets take a look at what Don and the guys will have available at the show. Our final retail packaging will likely be printed boxes.

The Rumbleslam team will also be at GenCon and available on our website over the duration of the event. TTcombat.com

Dont forget the scenics!

Next week we say goodbye to this campaign!

With mounting other work and our goal here all but complete its time to close this project off. Next week will be the last weekly update :'( That said we will still be here so if you have any questions or problems then just send an email to [email protected]

Keep sending me pics of your painted minis so hopefully I have lots of show off next time!

Next Campaign info, more painted minis, 'late backer' pledges all shipped, backerkit closed, retail info. LOADS OF STUFF!

Hi All

OK, so it isn't Friday but I'm back from a week away and it looks like Katie and the rest of the team have been busy. All of the late pledges are now out the door and with that I have closed the Backerkit! Thank you all for helping us to bring these miniatures to tabletops all over the world! Now we are busy preparing them for a retail release. More on that later in this update!

Your miniatures!

Thanks for what has been sent in, I haven't had time to go through everything yet sorry! Here are a few that I've just picked out of the inbox.

I've had loads of pics sent in of built models and armies which look great but its painted models that I'm looking to share in these updates :)

RETAIL INFO

Where to begin with this?! Our miniatures will be coming to the retail market in two flavours. Warlord Games will be selling some of the models in Warlords of Erehwon friendly size blister packs. They should be available via their website and retailer network in August!

We will be selling them via our own website and TTCombat stockists in regiment sizes that mirror this campaign. We have units that were not part of this Kickstarter that will be available for the first time over this period. These may include Walrus riders ;)

I've also read message after message about the need for Undead Halfling Cavalry. Behold the concept art for our Ghost Ponies!

The Halfling scenery will also be made available over the coming months.

There is another way to get your hands on some of these products as we will have some pre release product available in the US at Gen Con.

GEN CON

If you are headed to Gen Con then stop by our booth and say hello to Don and our US Team! We've sent them a whole load of Halflings to display in the cabinet and even some to sell! This is pre release stock and limited in quantity so if you want to get some small folk make sure you get there early! They will even have some of the MDF scenery!

RAISING FUNDS TO RAISE THE DEAD

For our next campaign we are headed to the deserts of the undead. We will have some tomb raiding adventurers, a horde of mummified warriors and brand new scenery sets too! There are even some more desert themed Halflings fighting among the sandstorms. The date isn't set in stone yet but I will hopefully be able to share that with you next week!

There is something for RUMBLESLAM fans in the next campaign too!

HAVE AN OUTSTANDING PLEDGE?

If you are still waiting on your Halflings then let us know at [email protected] so that we can look into it for you. We will supply tracking info where available. If you have any issues with your Halflings then let us know about that too. We will get it fixed asap, [email protected] is the best place to get in touch for that too. I will be back Friday 19th with another update. I think at this point we will likely have one more after that and then count this campaign as finished. In the mean time I want more pics of your painted models so please keep sending them in!

Halflings everywhere!

Hi all!

Halflings are arriving everywhere which is awesome. If you don't yet have your small folk and want me to look into it then please do send me a message and I will come back to you asap.

Lets take a look at the painted models you have been sending in!

We've had some requests for a guide to painting the MDF which I will look to bring you in the next update.

I also have some better pics of the undead horde Fin has been painting up, check out these little critters!

This army is 90 miniatures and I think Fin has done a great job on them (Though there are mixed opinions in the office over the eye colour choice). What do you think?

He plans to add a few more regiments to the horde including werewolves and zombies. A banshee also offers a nice opportunity to add some colour with her flowing dress.

The archers were not part of this campaign and a really nice little unit. They will be available at a later date either here on KS or via our webstore. Some RPG backers will have found a few among their skeletons.

Holiday

Im off to Portugal for a week with my family so there will be no update next Friday but I will be back the Friday after and hope to be able to share lots more painted halfling pics. Will still be in the messages but please excuse a slower than normal reply.

Thought it would be nice to leave you with another render from the future. Enjoy!

Oh, Ok, you can have two 

Almost there! Prep Guide, Show me your minis!
almost 5 years ago – Fri, Jun 21, 2019 at 03:26:17 AM

Hi all!

This is a much more pleasant update than what we had last WEEK. The rain was hammering down and we were binning a days worth of 10 peoples work. We needed treemen for orders and were putting countless numbers of them in the bin. Friday wasn't much better, we cleaned the moulds when we wanted to be running them. The guys came in Saturday and Sunday and got us a foundation for this week ahead. Now I sit here on a sunny Friday as treemen continue to come flying up from downstairs. At the time of writing there are now maybe 20 orders that have not gone down to the packing room. I am hopeful they will today! Soon I can bulk mark the backerkit as shipped. Something I cannot wait to do. If you haven't got your models yet and are curious as to the status of your order then by all means send me a message on here. I would be happy to check on it for you.

Show me!

As your halflings arrive please PLEASE send me pics of your paint jobs! I want to see what you do with them. Some people have been sending me photos and I love it. [email protected] is the best place to catch me, it makes fantastic content for our next few updates. Lets look at a couple of examples below

Great work guys! Back to the office and Fin has painted up the Paladin adventurer. He has also done an undead horde but I will save the reveal of that for next week.

OK OK, you can have a preview of the Undead

Prep Guide

I have also had people asking about preparing their miniatures. Lewis wrote a great little guide when we did our RUMBLESLAM kickstarter. Its still relevant and can help you get your miniatures tabletop ready.

Full guide link HERE

Overstaffed Pot Launcher.

A lot of people have been messaging in about getting too many crew with their pot launchers. This was actually some alternate models we got sculpted to add some diversity in the future. As they were ready we thought it would be a nice little include to throw them in for free. There may be some halfling bums on show among them so be warned!

Something wrong?

On the off chance there is something wrong with your pledge then I'm here to fix it :) Message here or email [email protected]

The Next Campaign

I've mentioned the next campaign a few times, more halflings and a whole new army. I haven't got a confirmed launch date yet as I want people to have their halflings before I launch this new project. A horde of mummies are coming, and they have some monstrous support.

Thank you all again for backing :)
