I've barely started my halfmen, and was still planning on getting more. You're producing too many figures that I can't resist! The sample kobolds already convinced me that I need a pile of those. What for? I can't say. They're just too cool not to get more. And now I like the look of those humans... they look like they might fit well (scale and aesthetics) with the Perry plastic medievals.

 :::cheers:::

Thanks!

@Zygmund - Yes, we went through the glorious pain of paying Dan Mersey for doing a set of rules with a focus on campaigning.
The first campaign will focus on Kobolds, Pit creatures and Humans of all shapes. The fluff will be pretty generic tho as I am kinda annoyed by all the half assed world building out there.
@021 - Kobolds man :--)

And yes, I will most likely be in for a bunch of kobolds when the KS comes up.  :::cheers:::

You've forgot to list that there are separate shield arms for the mercenaries, and the number of them per pledge.

Oh yes, I'm interested in the mercenaries. They are truly beautiful sculpts, the faces are very personal, so are the two named single sculpts. But looking at my unpainted and unbuilt 28mm medieval/renaissance mercenaries pile, I hesitate. Then again, I will likely regret it later if I don't buy in now... Why, oh why these temptations!

The mercenaries look great - I am surprised there is not a Book + Mercenaries option, but I suppose we can add the value.

Not sure about the Kobolds - they're mini dragon look is good, but in the 20 years I have been gaming, I have used a non-human army about 5 times I guess, and those 5 times were halflings or dwarfs ............................

Still I have 11 days to debate.
Maybe have extra mercenaries instead.  :biggriin:

Mercenaries can pick different battle stances, so a game between 2 groups is not all that predictable! And seriously - I just love these Kobolds...

I guess I swing both ways - I love the halflings and the kobolds.

The humans are great too. I'd like to get at least a few, but may have to stick with the kobolds for the moment.

Hey, speaking of halflings... are the halfkneckts still in the works? (No rush, just curious.)

God, totally forgot about these! They are with the caster, I am pretty sure he has made molds.

I went with the Dog's of War selection, and will add in the Captain, maybe even the rule book.

I like the kobolds, yet not sure I'd get around to painting them anytime soon.  Too many other projects that I'm working on currently, and way too many on the back burner as well.  The centipede is awesome!

Bit unusual for you, but you haven't been paying attention. Lots of us have already got lots of Harabs and the Ogre.   :engel:
