The Cthulu and Pulp miniatures made it to the 4th stretch goal. :icon_cool:  I raised my pledge to get both packs of the Moroccans. :icon_cool:

You mean they will be using Ouija boards instead of Tarot cards for their business plans from now on?

I stumbled over this by accident. The models look decent for the most part and are well thought out - could be of interest to some people here.

Here is a scenery kickstarter for just a windmill that can be purchased two different ways ... seems very nice for the cost ...

I pledged for the windmill with the extras.

The other other modular terrain looks good, yet not sure it is wise for me to be spending more on scenery at the moment.

A potentially interesting kickstarter from the FireForge folks. Expanding their Forgotten Worlds range with some more Early Modern era looking dwarves.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fireforgegames/stone-realm-hard-plastic-multi-part-dwarves-in-28mm-scale/description

I'm a bit surprised because the rest of the range is very Game of Thrones feeling/looking and these dont quite meet that. They also don't particularly look that dwarfy other then height. Beards aren't huge, not much ornamentation, etc. I'm tempted to pick up a box or two to slot into my more cosmopolitan dwarf hold. Plus I like the goat riders.

Yeah, it's a bit strange that Fireforge decided for Dwarfs at this point.

Their gear reminds me of heavy renaissance armour, the helmets are earlier and in good comparison to the Northmen, they seem to have skirts with perhaps Scottish style tartans, and the command group has some Landsknecht style heads with hats and feathers. It's a distinct milieu, perhaps fitting for an interpretation of Imperial Dwarfs in the Old World setting. They might have thought about T9A as much as their own vague setting.

No Dwarfs in GoT, so no wonder they don't find a comparison there.  :-)

A midget is not a dwarf. Dwarfs are a people and an ancient culture, not deformed humans.  :dry:
