Will all of the scenery from the scenery pack fit in the pro box or is it like the extra boards and will need to be stored separately?

We have designed a small extra box that fits between the outer box and the gap left by the edge of the interior. It's like a pencils box. There can be stored many of the scenery but if we unlock many things it's likely that not all. You can see this box as a white prototype, the final model will have the same look as the rest of the box, in the second video of the Scennery Pack section of the campaign.

Did I miss discussion on what the 'leatherette finish' means at the legend level? Is it the outer covering of the box or something else?

Yes, it's the external box lined in imitation leather.

Hi folks! Today we reached the 30k, unlockimg another scenery stretch goal and we also introduced a new add-on for the project, Morgan the ogre star player!! :)

Image

We are so proud of this miniature! Lucas Pina is a very talented sculptor and for us it's an honor to work with him. The model is full of detail and masterfully sculpted! Hope you like it as much as we do! We'll be showing more pictures soon so you can better appreciate the mini although nothing as seeing it on hand.

The next locked stretch goal is the Field Tokens Set, illustrated by Pete Knifton! Have to say that for us, working with Pete is a dream come true cause we grew with his illustrations and always admired his work.

Morgan has given the campaign a bit of impetus it seems. Will be good to see this keep going, I would like the 15 players minimum but considering the price, its fantastic.

i think the fact this is more than just a pitch and dug outs, its all you need to play, is why this is top notch right now.

2 14 man teams, a pitch, markers, dice, a ball (if im not mistaken) dug outs, carry case for board and minis for 140 euro or all the added tokens and scenery stuff for 180 is silly good

hopefully there's more plans to keep interest with occasional injections of add ons etc

I agree...this is a great deal. I haven't pledged yet, but will. With Pete's art on the tokens and the designs of the teams being similar to their 2nd ed gw counterparts this package is a real BB love letter.

I went from only interested in a team, to the pitch and a team, to the whole legend package.

Three other questions:

1) If the graveyard/forest board is reached, please consider changing the board combinations. If the regular field and the underground fields are on different boards we can use the scenery banners on the fields and the dungeon walls on the underground _at the same time_. That would be great. As is, it would be one or the either...as I don't expect any scenery for either the forest or graveyard.

2) I vastly prefer painting on plastic/resin over metal which is the main reason I didn't back the dwarf team. Will future IG teams continue to be in plastic and resin?

3) Scale - I _love_ 28mm heroic! Even if GW 'upscales' will IG continue to stay 28mm heroic? I hope so? Oh, how about a vampire team soon? Not many out there and an IG Vamp team would be charming.

Kaiowas, thanks for your words! We really worked a lot to adjust the cost as much as possible! :)

BullBear, glad you define the project in that way. We really love Pete's work and the classic miniatures so we put all our efforts in all those little details to keep the old-school spirit within a modern look. About your first question, it makes a lot of sense! We will consider that. For the resin/metal miniatures for future teams we'll probably keep producing in metal. About the scale, we think that the current 28mm/heroic is our way to go although we'll need to wait for the preference of the Fantasy Football community and specially for the opinion of our backers and supporters. For the last thing, we don't plan a vampire team for the moment. We're really focused on the Pro Box as it's a very complex project that is demanding a lot of effort. Let's see how things develop cause the grade of success obatained in the Pro Box campaign will define our future moves as a brand. :)

Thnak you all for your support and for always sharing your opinions with us! :)

What can you tell us about the tokens, particularly those in the add-on set? What size/thickness are they? Will the field tokens be the same?

How does shipping work for multiple pledges?

For example, how much would shipping be to the United States for 2 superstars and 1 legend pledge?

horekim, glad you like it! :)

Wifflebat, the Token Set and the Field Tokens will be 29mm diameter and 2mm thicknes. The magnetic markers (re-roll, turn, etc) for the scoreboard will be around 25mm.

BullBear, it's impossible to give but an estimation as we don't know the final weight of the product but it should be around 65-70€ for the three pledges.

By the way, at our facebook page we just added a lot of pictures of the minis so you can get a better view of all of them! :)
