The 72 hour update.

Hi backers,
As of two PM Central Time we will be at the 72 hours until the end of the campaign mark. I am hoping that the next three days will unlock the second elephant head, and the war elephant crew. Tuomas Pirinen's new fantasy wargame calls for two classes of war elephant, the basic one and a "Royal Tusker" these fearsome beasts often sport multiple sets of tusks and our Royal Tusker will as well. I am also hoping to redo the body at the same time so that the Royal Tusker has a special tower that serves as a sort command vehicle/mobile throne for the army general. I may also add additional armor to the Royal version.
I have sent the information on the Knight Commander to our sculptor Yannick Hennebo and he is hoping to have something to show this coming week. I am not sure if it will arrive before the end of the campaign. I will send him the information on the Chaos Shrine tomorrow. These emails take awhile to put together because I not only send the concept art, but a lot of pictures of armor and equipment I found on the internet that goes into the design process. Yannick does an amazing job of synthesizing all of this and putting it together in an amazing sculpt.
I have had a lot of people ask me about how you add rewards to your existing pledge. Here is the method for computer users, the method is slightly different for mobile devices but close enough.
On the top right hand of the campaign screen you will see this button.
Click on it and it will take you to a screen with this button.
Click on Change your pledge.
Then just enter the amount of any additional reward you want to add. So a common one, the STL package and the Coven Shrine STLs. Just put in $70 and when the pledge manager comes out then you just use the extra $20 to choose the additional reward.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Backers, I forgot that when I unlocked the human sized version of the Half Giant I said that it dropped all the other locked rewards down $5,000, so when we passed $15,000 we unlocked the Knight Commander. The Knight Commander is another officer like the Captain and the Lady Knight. I suppose it's up to you where she falls in your own chain of command. I don't want to say she is the absolute top of the food chain for my Blackhearts because in my own fictional narrative that place is occupied by Countess Ursula von Schonfeld and I think she deserves a truly spectacular mounted miniature, perhaps even a magical mount.
At the moment the Knight Commander is just a drawing by my amazingly talented concept artist Owen Aurelio. I will be sending her off to the equally talented Yannick Hennebo soon but he's really busy these days so I am not sure when we will see renders on her.
She will be available for $9 as she will come with a second head option. As always you can add her or any other individual figure or pledge level to your base pledge. Just add the correct amount to your pledge and you will be able to spend that amount in the pledge manager.
The Coven Shrine and the STL package are live.

Hi Backers,
I have added the special STL package for the Coven Shrine as well as the pledge level for the shrine itself. Please note a few things. Because funding for the shrine was not anticipated unless we got to $50,000, the Shrine does not count as an unlocked stretch goal and is not included in any other reward tier including the complete STL package and the cultists package. As noted before any stretch goal that is unlocked in the normal course of the campaign will be included in the complete STL package and I am anticipating that we should unlock several more of them. Anyone who is familiar with the path of most kickstarters knows that things normally get a little crazy the last few days of the campaign.
Thanks for helping me bring this special project to life.

A possible solution for the Shrine.

Hi Backers. Thank you for participating in the pole and for your feedback. The shrine has been a dream of mine for a long time and I thought we had a shot at unlocking it this time but I don’t think that is a reasonable expectation at this point. After thinking about this and talking to some of you I think we can make this happen. Here is my proposal.
I will remove the shrine from the stretch goals and set it as a separate pledge level. It will not be included in any other pledge level including the STL package and the Coven pledge. The only way to get it will be a $45 pledge for a hard copy of the shrine in plastic or a $20 pledge for a separate STL pledge for just the shrine. This should guarantee that we have the money needed to pay Yannick for sculpting the five figures and the shrine itself as well as paying Effincool to print it and make the molds.
If no one has any serious objections I will add the two pledge levels tomorrow morning. Thanks for helping me bring this project to life. Raymond

If you are interested in having this item added to the available pledges please follow the link to our Facebook page and cast your vote. The price would be $40, it would be produced in plastic and we wouldn't get any pictures of the actual render until after the Kickstarter ended.
