Greetings WarGods backer!
Well,
we're a month into the new year, so it is high time we posted an update
detailing what we've accomplished so far, where we are now, and how
much is left to do.
This really falls into 2 categories, the book and the miniatures, so let's look at each of these in turn. Miniatures Update
We
counted up all of the different models funded by the project -
Demigods, Trojans, Amazons, Athenians, Corinthians, and all of the
extras like the Automatons, monsters, and exclusives - all told, we
funded around 150 unique sculptures. That is a lot of minis, no matter
how you look at it! The first 4 waves of these have shipped (Demigods,
Troy, Amazons & Automatons, and Athens). The great news is that we
are now just past 100 completed sculpts, with less than 50 minis to go.
Chris can usually sculpt about a figure a week, depending on the
complexity, so we're hopeful we can get the last 50 minis completed and
molded before the year is out.
As most of you know, the sculpting
of the Corinth range was started by Todd, but he had to drop out due to
time conflicts last year. That was an unfortunate setback and has
caused some delay, but Chris has been doing his best to complete their
range in keeping with the great quality of Todd's original models. Most
of the Phalanx unit is now done, as well as the Hero, Captain and
Bellerophon. Remaining are the 2 Honor Guard and the Herald and
Musician. The first masters of the unit and characters just came back
from our moldmakers at Iron Wind, and they look great. We expect to
have the whole range completed, molded, and shipping to backers sometime
early this spring, if all goes to schedule.
The Athens range has
now shipped to all of the Athens backers. If you are wanting to get
some Athenians, we still have a few sets left over, and you can get them
via Paypal Pledging. We're going to be cutting off the Athenians at
the end of February, so if you want to add some, let us know before the
end of the month. Also, if you are an Athens backer and you have NOT
received your minis, it probably means you have other minis requested
that have not yet been completed, and requested the 'ship when complete'
option. If you want to change this and have some of the rewards
shipped out now, just let us know. Book Update
We've
not spent a lot of time talking about the book since it is due out after
the last of the core factions (Corinth). However, we are getting close
to wrapping up the Corinthians, so where are we with the big stack of
paper? Since Christmas, Chris has been working on the rules and
background for the remaining troops (when he's not sculpting, of
course). Just to hint at what is to come, completed this month are new
rules for the Champion of the Games, Thaumaturge, Hellhounds, Myrmidons
and Shades. There are a lot more troops than these coming as well -
we'll be showing off a few of these in some of the next updates, to get
some early player feedback on them, so stay tuned. Now if we can just
find a decent editor, we'll be nearly there!
The art is coming
along too -- for the last 2 years we've had our 3 art collaborators -
Des Hanley, John Wigley, and Paul Jeacock - hard at work on dozens of
illustrations for the rulebook interior. These are the same 3 talented
artists who illustrated Aegyptus and the Wendigo books, so you can be
sure that the style of art is just what you expect from a Croc product.
We now have, completed, over 130 individual pieces of color and
B&W art! That is a HUGE amount of art, and we're not quite done -
there are still about a dozen key pieces still 'on the drawing board'.
When this is complete it will be our best-looking book yet, heck,
probably one of the most lavishly-illustrated games on the market.
So
when will that be? We are striving to have the book completed and
going to press sometime this summer. We know that waiting is not much
fun, and we want to get this completed just as much as anyone. There
are still a lot of little details to finish, edit, playest, and paint
before the book is ready to go, but we're working weekends and nights to
get it all done. Our backers have been so patient with us, and we
really appreciate that. We're doing our very best to justify your
patience and support with an awesome finished project!
Thanks!
-Debs & Chris
PS: Oh year, let's show off a few of the Corinth minis... ladies and gentlemen, the King:
Finished model of King Bellerophon, by Chris FitzpPatrick, concept art by Des Hanley
And how about a Hero to go along with that...

And finally...
Corinth Captain & Casualty, sculpted by Todd Harris & Chris FitzPartick
Note, the shields shown here are not likely to be the ones we ship
with them, but they'll be similar. The shield pictured is one of the
Corinth mercenary shields, we had it onhand for the photo!
