tretch Goals

If we reach our initial target of $5000, all levels of support will receive a bonus gift of a 'Weapons & Equipment Pack', designed for converting your characters to suit your precise needs.
If we reach $10,000, all contributors at Level 4 and above will receive a free 'Treasure Items Pack'.
Reaching a goal of $15,000 will see all backers of Level 5 and above granted a bonus pack called 'Adventurers' Campsite', featuring bed-rolls, a campfire & cooking pots, and other paraphernalia.
At $20,000, all backers of Levels 6 & 7 will receive an 'Adventurers' Cart Set', pulled by an expedition mule and piled with adventuring gear, looted treasure, and a fallen comrade.
Further bonuses will be added later, if required.


It's already at 7000 after one day or so.

First four greens:

They have reached 15k or the third of four initial stretch goals with 24 days left, good effort. Finally had an update from them:



Well, it has been a great start to the campaign! Many thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. We’re only 4 days in, and we’ve already reached our initial goal and surpassed the first 2 stretch goals. For a small company like Otherworld Miniatures, this level of support represents a significant sum, which will allow us to produce some wonderful new products for you all.

Since the campaign launched, we have secured the services of some new sculptors, including David Soderquist of Bronze Age Miniatures (he’ll be working on the Halflings, Gnomes & Dwarves), and John Winter of Tin Man Miniatures (some females and Elves).

The rapid success of the campaign has also meant that we’ve had to come up with some new stretch goal bonuses for our supporters, beyond the initial $20k level. They will be:

1) At £25k – Level 4+ – A pair of War/Guard Dogs – 1 sitting, 1 standing, wearing studded leather collars & harness

2) At £30k – Level 7 only – Adventurers’ Stores – Crates, boxes, chests, sacks, barrels

3) At £35k – Level 5+ – Magic Users’ Familiars (standard) – cat, crow, hawk, owl, toad, weasel

4) At £40k – Level 5+ – Magic Users’ Familiars (special) – quasit, pseudo-dragon, brownie, imp

That’s it for now. I hope to have another update in a few days, with ‘work-in-progress’ photos of some new sculpts, and possibly the first concept drawings for some of the Demi-human Adventurers.

Thanks again for your superb support!

I want to see some more greens before I pledge myself, but I really like this campaign.

[DarkDesigner]

Wow, those are some nice sculpts. They're actually all better than the original concept art! If they can keep that up they're in for a solid winner.

[eldargal]

Patrick Keith of Bombshell Babes Kickstarter fame is going to be sculpting the females along with one other chap who does good female sculpts, so I'm less worried about needing to see greens now.

No. just.....no......

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That dude on the left is totally a Viking

[White Tiger88]

That dude on the left is totally a Viking

Looks more like a barbarian or Inept evil guard of a warlord.

[eldargal]

It's a barbarian according to Otherworld.:p

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Still looks like a Viking to me. Plus, Vikings were Barbarians.

[DarkDesigner]

I'm starting to think we need somewhere to gather all the Kickstarters and Indiegogos into one place...

[White Tiger88]

I'm starting to think we need somewhere to gather all the Kickstarters and Indiegogos into one place...

YA no kidding....I for one think kickstarters may\may not be a scam for some places.
