$50 from me, right now. And a big, fat ditto on keeping this going!
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

My first time getting into this.  I'll throw down for an even $100.  Quite like the program and the results  :)

Hi All!

I'm super stoked to get this one out there. I've had it finished for some time and I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it.  I'll put some images below, but first, let's sweeten the pot on this Fan Finance.

I will be giving away two (2) 3D printed prototypes of this miniature.  The first will be given to the biggest donor.  But I fully realize that not everyone has a chance to be a big spender, so I will be giving a second away to one randomly selected fundicator as well!  As soon as funding is done, I'll send some PMs to the winners to get these babies shipped.

Now, feast your eyes on some screen shots and a painted mini!

I'm in for $50.

(If my math is right, this makes our current total $325.)

Oh, that was me! I can (with a few hours worth of work) turn any of my 3D models into line art.

I have a DeviantArt out there somewhere that has more of my line art.

Haha, no, unpainted.

That painted copy is one of my only two professional quality painted minis, and I can't paint worth a darn...

Having been so lucky as to receive one of the prototypes myself, I think this miniature needs to be done yesterday.

Put me down for 75 $.

Also, for above reason, I'm not going to  take anyone's "slot" in Stinger's giveaway.

Ok, I just did a quick check of the math, and I believe we've reached our magic mark of $800!  Sweet!!  8)

Hi All!

So, after talking with our top funder, Mwenski, and he requested something a little different, and not too consequential, so I have a spare prototype!

As such, I have selected 2 random funders to get the prototypes.

The winners are:

Luciora and Lorcan Nagle!  Congrats!

Check your inboxes, but they aren't going to be shipped for a few weeks, depending on when my printer can have it done.

Congrats all and a huge thank you for this successful funding!

This is my first time financing a project - should I wait for a PM from the organizer, or is there a PayPal address listed somewhere that I can send my payment to?

In the past Speck would either message all doners directly with instructions about how to send the funds and what information Speck needs to send IWM vouchers, or Speck would indicate that there was another plan.

When the Hellspawn was funded, the plan was for Speck to pm all the participants (using the list Xiwo Exrase posted) with instructions. I imagine that this week after the holidays has been busy for IWM.

I was out of town for new years so I will get things updated now to reflect it being funded. I will work to get PM's sent out this weekend.
