Let's say, not all stretch goals are being reached.
Is there a way to get the minis I'll need to complete the teams, like a second Witch Elf?

Hi folks! Things are getting very promising!

El Hombre, dfunkateer, we undestand your doubts but we can't be waiting for rumor confirmations. We have been living a long time without some companies and enjoying the game so probably a lot of people will want to "keep this line". That said, producing new foldable boards for the Pro Box in the future should not be a problem if needed....

Regash, we always try to do our best and not leaving anyone hanged. That said, the campaign structure has a reason behind and we need funds to produce the product so let's hope things keep going as well as till now. Remeber the Iron Forgers campaign, at the beginning some stretch goals seemed to be unreachable and by the end we run out of miniatures to add ;)

By the way, still some surprises to be shown in the campaign so lot of match to play yet! :)

Congrats on the new kickstarter...it looks to be going well.

I've got a question about the possible second board (graveyard/forest). Will it be able to fit in this pro box as well or does the box only hold one board at a time?

Can you further explain the customization of the scenery flags and such? I like the look of them around the board, but am wondering if other colors will be available.

Thanks!

Many thanks BullBear! The first and second board wont fit in the box at the same time, so you must choose which one to carry in advance.
About the flags customization , we'll send all backers a pre-configured PDF file to edit. In this file you'll have different flag shapes to choose and logos to add. Then you will be able to choose patterns (two-halves, four squares, diagonal halves, etc) and colors. For other customizable elements, as the team banners and markers will be also possible to choose the font for a text field to add the team's name. Then you will only need to print the file with sticker paper (we'll provide the kit with sheets for the first use). We'll be giving more detailed info in the campaign page soon. :)

Sounds great!

I'm currently only interested in the DE team. Can you confirm the positions and number at each position that will be included?

also, will there be an opportunity to add any extra minis to the box? for example, the full human team only comes with 2 catchers after stretch goals, but the human roster allows for 4. will i be able to add 2 more catchers at some point in the process?

I did ask that, mikey.
The answer is: Get them as stretch goals or don't get them at all.
They say that they need funds to produce the minis and that's why.
Another reason why I keep my finger off of this campaign.
The teams are not to my taste and then you might end up with half a team.

I'll wait for heir next idea... :wink:

ah sorry, i didn't realize that question had already been asked. i'm staying in as i like most everything else that i have seen. i will just continue hoping that somewhere down the road, an option to purchase individual minis from this set will be available. even getting duplicate catchers for #s 3 and 4 is better than no extra catchers at all.

There's a third catcher as a stretch goal, but unless I'm missing something, there's not a fourth.

This will make me twitch... The Dwarf team was such a rewarding, successful crowdfunding campaign, though, that I have confidence that the fourth catcher will show up eventually!

Yeah, I missed that initially, but Chaos Dwarf pointed it out to me. A 4th would be nice, but I can live without it, I suppose. And I do have a spare 5th ed ogre that I can use with this team, so I guess I can live with that, too.

Bullbear, this will be the final rosters if we reach the 39k stretch goal:
Humans: 4x blitzer, 2x thower, 3x catcher and 6x lineman.
Dark elves: 4x blitzer, 2x witch, 2x runner, 1x assasssin and 6x lineman.

mikeyc222, we could let you add an assassin or catcher of the existing models but we don't plan to produce different ones for those two minis.

Regash, we understand your view but that's not exactly what we said... We said we're not leaving anyone hanged and that we should wait to see how the campaign evolves, as we did with the dwarfs. About getting half team, well we have 14 minis already ;)

JonnyKanone, no ogre at the moment but something big is approaching to the stadium! Stay tuned ;)

By the way, we did some updates on the campaign banners so now you can better see the minis and other things!

One other question....what distinguishes the dark elf blitzers from the linemen? I though it was the spikey shoulder pads but there's a lineman with spikey shoulder pads. I also thought it might be face masks, but there looks to also be linemen with face masks.

Without base rings, how are these positions to be identified?

The helmets are different, all the blitzers have the look of knight helmet on the jaw zone and two of them also have the horn-like ornament. The blitzers chest armor also has a skull engraved and three protectors hanging from the hips. There's only one lineman with the spiked shoulders so they're also quite distinctive as are the spiked braciers. Last is the dinamic pose of all the blitzer models respect to the more static linemen.
