Neat! So Ral Partha will be handling the non-licensed stuff, or will BattleTech et al. eventually wander back under the old banner?

Hopefully they do a better job of getting this one out on time than they did last time.

$140 for the minimum-sized actual game? Nope.

Edit: Missed the $65 starter set. Duh me.

IMHO this is odd, I mean it's nostalgic yes. But for the price, there are dozens of better choices.

Who is their target base for this, 40 something year olds like myself who bought these as a kid?

It just seems bizarre to me, do they think these will sell on their looks LOL?
You know what rhymes with Sloth?

WooHoo!!! They be bringing back the Troglodytes!!!  But they're pretty much all I'm interested in.

Well, them and the Lesser Troglodytes (which aren't even listed as a maybe for this).  :'(

So I guess I'll be waiting for retail?

I suspect IWM did their homework and that there was a large enough number of requests from customers prior to beginning this endeavor.

Reach out to Jacob at chaoswars (@) ralpartha.com for any questions. He is running the Kickstarter and is very knowledgable of the Fantasy lines.

Thanks speck!  O0

I'll probably do that, but my funds are extremely limited and ReaperCon is this weekend.

And I must purchase at least 2 RCon Sophies.....must.

Is there some reason you didn't count the $65 option?

And I just realized that I can't pledge a Dollar and add on the Troglodytes, so I'll be waiting for retail.

I have absolutely no interest in the elves or orcs.

I just want this miniature available again, as I seem to have lost mine:



Edit: Hrm... sorry for the large size of that picture. Is there a way to resize an image link like that?

Edit 2: Thanks worktroll!
