People thinks that creating a brand and a company (or a game) is just getting some renders and putting them in indegogo, Willy has shown us that there's much more, things like planning and good service, as he is not a scupltor nor owns the machinery, he is just a fan but as well a profesional businessman.

...But wait until december, and we will see "the big spanish fiasco" in the HEROQUEST 25TH aniversary campaign by Gamezone!! That is bound to be a big cathastrophe in the world of gaming, 5.000 guys gave their money to a pirate!
But they can't say no one warned them...! :smoking:

Cute idea. I like the goth idea. Call 'em "baby bats".

I use the Phil's Phigs Black Widows for my thralls -- they have a strong bride-of-dracula/frankenstein feel to them.

I like the vampires themselves, but don't really care for the Borderlands-Gang-Punk/Deflated-Bane look of the thralls. But it's okay, since I wasn't really in the market for a Vampire team anyways and have too many models to paint anyways.

Off Topic (sorry Willy) ... are you sure? I know one of the sculptors working for them and they are definitely paying to have the models made so that doesn't suggest pirate yet to me.

Are they legally able to sell the game yet though? I've not followed the saga, but that was sounding rather pirate to me when I first spotted this

Gallak, it is only a matter of when Hasbro decides to sue them. They simply registered the words in spain for a game, so they can call it so. But that doesn't gives them the right to create a blantant copy. You can read the many threads on the boardgamegeek on the matter if you want more info. Yes he has 600,000 € cash, so I guess he will be paying, but that never has been the matter... :smoking:

Did anyone else have problems fitting the halfling Oldstump star player's left arm to the mini?

I sat down today to put my 'flings together, and his left arm just won't fit! :( I wanted to check to see what other people had experienced before I started cutting him up. The other trees are looking great. Just goes to show, Star Players are always looking for special treatment. :lol:

I had the same problem. In the end I just pinned it and left the gap. It's not too noticeable when painted.

Congrats - if it wasn't for the fact I backed Mercs KS and have two others due soon I'd have backed these - really nice.


However, is it just me or does vampire #6 remind anyone else of the old GW Necromunda Orrus figure?
