C’est la première fois que je reçois des figurines résine aussi propre (je n’y ai pas toujours mis le prix non plus…). Il n’y a pas de socle par contre. J’ai aussi pris celui inspiré par Akuma de Street fighter.
Alors ça me semble classique comme résine (mis à part celles de knight models et celle des recast chinois), mais c’est chouette quand même!
Durgin :
There is no Kickstarter campaign, without stretch goals to unlock.
Indeed, we spent a lot of time in designing the stretch goals range for this campaign and you can see a sample right here, with this majestic howl!
This is only one of the many (too many?!) freebies that are waiting to be unlocked and happily join your rewards.
for example, I can’t wait to show you how a drunken party of Kodama looks like.

Durgin :
I tried all my best to focus your attention on this project. Big Trolls, mysterious Elves, little Summoners. But, you know, the market is a merciless war and everyday talented artists try to overcome each other relentlessly.
So I had to play a card that, maybe, might be too powerful for this game.
But this is a war, and I can’t afford to have mercy.
A little Raptor fresh off its eggshell.

PS: of course, I’m joking. This is even the best thing we’ve designed for this range.

Non c’est du très très qualitatif, aucune bulle, aucun défaut j’ai jamais été aussi bien servi avec de la figurine résine.

Pas de bulles avec les résines de KDM, de Ninja Division, ni de Color Quest.
Durgin:
This little Mandrake is freaking out!
But why?!
Did somebody (or something…) scare it?
Is it just super excited about the upcoming Kickstarter campaign?!
Is it escaping from something very big that makes water ripple with its steps?!
Is it just shocked by how cool that scenic base is?!
We tried to hide their existence for a long time, but despite we gave you the dwarfiest Dwarves that ever dwarfed, it seems like you really want Elves so…here we are: on October 12th, the Elves of Inneath will make their official debut

Pour l’instant tout ce que je vois me plais, après les semi déception de MD2 et Hero Quest, c’est très agréable.
On a le prix des bundles
Today’s blog post is about…Bundles! Take a look at the new Bundles I’ve created for the upcoming campaign (12th October, save the date! Well, if you’re interested…), including the iconic Mighty Mega Box and the brand new Digital Bundle: over 50 .stl files to print at home, for barely 1€ each!
Les bundles en détail ici
Bundles are the core of a KS campaign and today I’m gonna show you some of them.
Let’s start with the entry-level Elf bundle: the Patrol of the Woods!
As anticipated, the entry-level bundle is designed to give you a fair(y) amount of Elves with a solid discount (without considering the unlocked stretch goals value, we start with a 18€ discount). Two warriors, three Archers and a little, hungry, mascotte: if you just want to get your feet wet in the Ocean of this KS campaign, this Bundle offers you some nice iconic characters of this range.
If you want to spend some more doubloons and make us happier, you can consider to pledge for the two intermediate Bundles: the War Clan and the Summoners.
While the War Clan continue the path of Archers and Warriors, adding the mighty Elf Knight and the Archer B to the scene, the Summoner Bundle gives you a first glimpse to the most particular characters of this range, starting from the mighty Forest Troll and including the Exclusive miniature of this campaign: the Gnollin Forge Master. You can grab this character only with this Bundle and the Mighty Mega Box.
Moreover, despite the discount on the Summoners Bundle might seem a bit low, compared to the other ones, you should consider that if we unlock the Elf Augur character (one of the two characters to unlock), it will be added for free to this bundle!
Climbing the Bundles Mountain we arrive to the Bundle: Guardians of the Lost Court
This Bundle gives you the whole collection of Archer and Warrior characters, including the towering Elf Guardian! This Bundle offers a great deal (40€ discount, without considering the unlocked stretch goals value) and is the last step before arriving to the pinnacle of bundles: The Mighty Mega Box itself.
If you want, well, everything, this is the Bundle for you. The Mighty Mega Box contains the full power of the Lost Court and it is made to get bigger and bigger, depending on the campaing’s growth: it starts with 15 character and if we’ll reach at least 15k€ of funds two new characters will join the box for free (the Elf Augur and the Elf Bard). As we did with Dwarves, we plan to design even more characters if the campaign grows nicely: in the Kazhul Izril campaign our backers paid for 15 characters and at the end of the campaign got 26 characters!
Useless to say, also this Elf version of the iconic Mighty Mega Box will get for free all the unlocked stretch goals and includes also the exclusive miniature of this campaign: the Gnollin Forge Master .
I see this box as an investment for both you and me: the more funds we collect, the more contents we are able to put for free inside this reward. There are plenty of characters that I want to design (a ninja Elf? A new Troll character? A new Elf Warrior?) and with a bit of luck and all your support, we can make this Elf range an amazing deal.
Do you have a 3d printer? Then, as anticipated, I’ve made a glorious bundle for you: the Mighty Digital Bundle!
I selected the best sellers among our ranges (and those miniatures that are not too difficult to 3d print at home!) to create this first bundle of .stl files of DPF history! Over 50 .stl files will be available with this bundle, and we will add all the Stretch Goals unlocked during the campaign, and even more stuff (again: something really HUGE is being forged by Valerio, while we are speaking!). At the moment, we offer only supports-free .stl files : I’m searching for a service to make pre-supported .stl files, but at the moment I honestly don’t even know how much budget it will cost, so I can’t promise you something that I still don’t know if I can afford to! Of course, I will update you as soon as I have fresh news about.
Is that all?! Of course, it is not.
During this upcoming campaign you will have the chance to buy the Mighty Mega Boxes of both Kazhuk Izril and Second Government campaigns, including all the stretch goals unlocked, already inserted for free!
Moreover, considering how many requests I receive about that on daily bases (ok, maybe I’m a bit exaggerating…) I’ll offer also a Bundle with all the animals that we designed 'till now.

Quelques indices pour les SG ^^
I keep cleaning the first 3d prints, here is the new addition to the party!
Are you an Archer person, or a Warrior person?!
« BARBARIAAAAN! » is not an option, this time, but with a bit of luck with the campaign, you might see an Assassin/Thief (ninja time!) or…well…a titanic Theropod that will make the Troll look like a tiny guy.

A quelle échelle sont ces magnifiques figs? Je sens que je vais plonger, et pourtant habituellement je n’aime pas trop le style chibis ou manga mais là je trouve ça splendide.

C’est du 28mm si je ne me trompe pas. Les figurines résines sont faites par le français GRX Creations il me semble…
EDIT: Juste aujourd’hui ils ont communiqué dessus…
Considering that many of you asked about the dimension of our miniatures, I made this pic to show you some scale comparison.
Obviously, that Primaris Space Wolf is there only for scale comparison, I have no rights on it (otherwise, I wouldn’t be here, trying to fund my projects on Kickstarter
)

Encore du nouveau à l’horizon. Sur son blog, Matteo a publié sur de nouveaux pledges à venir par rapport aux SG des précédentes campagnes
Résumé
One of the (many) strategical mistakes I made during the last campaign was to totally ignore the (at that time) previous range of us: I thought, in my naivety, that people would be annoyed to see, in a Second Government campaign, miniatures that weren’t from that specific range.
Moreover, the idea to put again on KS my Dwarves seemed to me weird, or better, I felt like I was cheating using an already successful product to raise funds on a campaign that was technically focused on another range.
My concerns were (as often happens) wrong and too paranoid and in fact many people complained that, having missed the Dwarf campaign, they couldn’t pledge anything about Dwarves. I put then the Dwarf edition of the Mighty Mega Box during the campaign, and many people joined the journey helping A LOT to increase the numbers of funding.
Another thing that I’ve learned, this time about general marketing applied to a KS campaign, is that everything that is added after the beginning of the campaign has not the same impact of something that is there since the very first second, especially for what concerns the campaign rewards.
I think that there might be two reasons: a logical one (a few people are aware of that specific reward added in a second time -generally the vast majority of engagement is collected on the first 3 days and last 3 days funding-) and an emotional one (people tend to store in their memory the first things they see/read, the first impression is, after all, the more powerful one).
So, this time I decided to go big since day1 and let the Second Government and Kazhuk Izril ranges join the battle!
However, I didn’t want that the previous ranges steal the light from the main focus of this campaign (the Elves, obviously) so I decided to insert my beloved Dwarves and Humans in a way that won’t move the attention of the crowd away from the main characters, adding only the Mighty Mega Boxes of both SG/KI edition and two new bundles: the Durgin’s Selection and Beaks and Paws .
At this point, you all know what a Mighty Mega Box is, so I think you don’t need me to add more words about them. I thought, however, to offer a deal called « time machine », to give you the same feel of having participated to the previous campaigns: buying one of these mighty mega boxes, you will get, for free and since the beginning, all the stretch goals unlocked during their own campaigns. However, you won’t get also the stretch goals unlocked during this campaign, and this is quite simple to explain: we simply can’t afford to give you two ranges of stretch goals of this quantity and quality, for free. I thought that if somebody is interested in buying the full dwarf range, for example, he/she would rather prefer to receive thematic freebies of Kazhuk Izril, than freebies about Elves. I hope to be right, but if experience taught me something, is that there will always be somebody who’s not happy with something! But, you know, this is the way .
So let’s talk about the two special bundles of this campaign:
« Beaks and Paws » is a funny bundle focused on our animal characters: for a little price, you’ll get all the animals we designed, and with a bit of luck, many others will join.
The « Durgin’s Selection », as the name suggests, is a bundle that includes my very favourite miniatures of the three ranges we sculpted.
I know, it sounds a bit self-centred, but I wanted to make a glorious bundle containing a mix of Elves, Humans and Dwarves and I needed a kind of theme behind this selection.
It has been a hard choice and I still feel guilty for all the amazing sculpts that are out of this bundle, but I wanted something more affordable than the « all the miniatures we have designed » option. These are the characters that more than the others have conquered my heart, I’m curious to see if this Bundle will find admirers.
Last, but not least, the final surprise: the Mightiest Mega Box .
It has been changed a bit, since the first time I’ve talked about it, and now this one-of-a-kind bundle (seriously, only 1 available) contains a Mighty Mega Box of your choice, this mighty handmade leather bag and all the stretch goals and add-ons unlocked during this campaign.
Despite the « everything we have produced » idea was cool, I wanted something a bit more affordable: elitist, is true, but we are Durgin Paint Forge, not Louis Vuitton.
