    Red Box Games

    Probably old to some of you, but I recently discovered Red Box Games and have been blown away by the quality of their models. As a fan of fantasy that is actually gritty (unlike a certain hammer of war) as well as Norse mythology and the Dark Ages, these look fantastic. If I had the money I'd definitely pick up the Dvergr (dwarfs) and Goblins, but then with many singles being £3.14 on Maelstorm, I might cave in on a few. Unfortunately I don't have any advanced functions so I can't post photos, but here's a link to their website: http://red-box-games.com/index.php?m...index&cPath=19

    I've looked at their stuff for a while now. They have some beautiful miniatures. I could never find a practical use for them though. Maybe some day though.

    Keep your eyes open. Tre's planning to post a Kickstarter campaign next week. It'll be a great opportunity to pick up an entire army of his stuff.

    I'm still a bit tapped from last month's Sedition Wars feeding frenzy and I really want to save my pennies for Ten Thunders, but I'd love to pick up a Helsvakt warband too! What to do, what to do?

    Hesvakt Kickstarter is up. Just the elite infantry at the moment, but Tre plans to announce stretch goals when his funding goal is met. Probably sometime tonight, if things keep on as they are.

    As well laid out as it seems, I think by starting with such a small goal (and more importantly so few pledges) limits the full potential of this. Small goal is good as it adds to momentum, but I know if I was just passing through I'd be put off by just one option for a reward. Chances are it will turn out like Tor Gaming's IndieGoGo campaign which opened up to the rest of the range with stretch goals for upcoming models. Once I can get Dwarves and Goblins instead of those chaos warriors, I may be tempted.

    I agree that he kept the pledge options too tightly limited. However, he has said over on Frothers that he's planning to announce a command group as a set of stretch goals, which should open things up a bit. And my understanding is that he intends to convert the whole line to Trollcast and publish some rules, using Kickstarter to fund both and several future expansions. You'll probably have a chance to pick up dwarfs and goblins at some point.
