Hey all!
It has been a week since the end of the campaign and I thought I would just update everyone on where we currently sit. The pledge manager is pretty much ready but it suggests a 14 day waiting period from the end of the campaign. This is the only reason I haven't pushed it live yet but I plan to launch it a week from Monday and hopefully there shouldn't be a delay considering its populated with the items, shipping etc already.
.
Loads of people have been messaging since the campaign finished asking to get some miniatures and the late pledge feature should enable that.
Ben has been busy on the MDF side of things. He only has the windmill left to complete and was going to do a test cut on that later today! He has been adding little extras to the kits where possible including some stables for the goats and pigs as a bonus for the barn set.
.
Tom is smashing our master moulds and this is all he will be working on for the coming months to ensure we have a smooth run up to dispatch.
There won't be much to share next week with everyone being off for the holidays but I will be back before too long with news on the launch of the pledge manager and then hopefully some new renders shortly after that!
Happy Christmas everyone!
Cheers
Louis
A huge thank you and timeline of what is to come.

Hey all! Thank you for showing such great support for this project. It has been a pleasure for us to run and we have really enjoyed the comments section that even helped to create the RPG pledge which was one of the most popular we had on the campaign.
Many of the miniatures are already in production, we have more to render now but have booked out the talented 3D studio we use for the next 2 months just to work on this project. Naturally we will be getting items of high demand sculpted first so we give ourselves as much time as possible to produce them. To give some idea of our production capabilities. If we have 150 moulds of halflings they tend to have 12 models in each which we can run 6 times a day during our normal business hours. Even considering a miscast rate of about 5% we can make over 10,000 halflings a day before even asking the night guys to step in :D
We will start working on the backerkit which I hope to open at the start of January if not before. It will remain open for at least a month before we ask to lock down peoples choices so we know our final production quantities required. Each Friday I will update you on project progress. This first two being over the Christmas period might be a tad light on new information but once we start getting more renders etc in January they should be far more interesting!
MDF is already being cut and Ben I will share Bens work as he moves it from concept to finished article.
Thank you again, from all of us here at TTCombat.

You are all amazing! Thank you so much for taking down a full 50 stretch goals in this campaign.
.
I am hesitant to add any more as I want to get this out on time in April. However if we take more funds then we will produce some extra units to be released after fulfillment. Including a PIGASUS, i love typing that! Shieldmaiden seal & walrus riders maybe more! It has already been our busiest day yet on the project with just over an hour left, I'm in the comments until close.
Adventurer set, all social goals unlocked adding the halfling druid. Norse magic caster revealed.

OK, where to start with this one, il go in the order of the title :D
The final adventurer of the campaign was unlocked and at your request we have made them a better value set. These are going to make some awesome miniatures!
.
We also unlocked the last of the social goals adding the druid to the other set of adventurers and revealing the bard.
.
We also unlocked the awesome halfling wraith below.
.
We got art for the last of the norse concepts that were previously shadowed. The spellcaster and 3rd bolt thrower crew.
.
As we head into the last 6 hours of the campaign I am blown away by the support we have received. Thank you all for backing this project.
Knocking down goals as we approach the finish line!

We just added the pig rider general to the long list of unlocks. A total of 49 stretch goals (not including the social goals) have been unlocked since the start of this campaign. Amazing work people! We have the next goal in sight, the manticore!
.
Its worth noting on this piece that the pose may change slightly. It might be that we put a rock at the front of the miniature with the Manticores front paws on it as it looks to be climbing over. I also really like the idea of adding a terrified halfling crouched and hiding on the other side of the rock. 3 hours to go! Lets see where we end up :)
