Kickstarter Stretch Goals Rearrange Poll!

Update: the Poll is going to end soon, last hours to vote/change your vote.
We had not any doubt about who was the favourite of the KS, so we already started working on her. Work in Progress! (About 30%).
Please note that will still keep the original flow alternating Epic Bosses, units, heroes and terrains.



Hello guys, we hope you're having a wonderful week! We seen some epic Tarasque prints on facebook and that's amazing! We wouldn't expect those to pop out so quickly :)

As most of you might know, Francesca (Half of Artisan Guild family team!) launched her Kickstarter AMAZONS! this month, and it's rocking!
We received many good feedbacks, and many people told us they are going to use the Amazons ladies both as heroes and special "Bandit clan". Honestly an all woman Bandit clan is a very cool concept!

Many of our supporters asked if it was possible to rearrange the Stretch Goals to unlock some figures earlier than others. We can't mix up what's already unlocked, but we can surely rearrange the next goals, every one except the Epic Bosses. Please check what has already been Unlocked in the campaign here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amazons/amazons/description 

We will use the Poll entries to make the new Stretch Goals order.  So, let's say Nagas Snakewomans Guards are first in the Poll, they get unlocked at 45K. If the second poll choice is the Princess on the Panther, she goes to the next one.
We will still keep the flow, alternating units, heroes, epic bosses and terrain.

To have a proper look at the Stretch Goals renders and sketches, please scroll down at our Kickstarter page. they looks like this: 

This is the current Stretch Goal order, but you are going to change it.

Luckly we written down various Stretch Goals, so you have a broad selection to choose from. As written before, the winning entry will be the 45K Goal (the next one to be unlocked!), and the others will follow in order.

The Epic Bosses are not present in this Poll, but their Goal will be lowered to a certain level:

Also, please feel free to Download this Amazon Warrior.

The release of the snake warrior is what sold me on this Kickstarter. I'm really into snake hybrids. Itd be cool to have yaun-ti with more humanoid features as a later month theme. I love that each month has a racial theme. Also I find that Satyrs are fairly uncommon minis to come by!

Joshua Grandt

The princess on panther is amazing there is a definite lack of big cats in miniatures. which is a shame for these majestic beast.

yes I know its wrong place but I am trying to make the artist aware that I have had a nightmare trying to pledge. and I may not be the only one...

Thankyou so much. I moved from my usual explorer to google chrome and I was able to pledge. this does beg the conclusion how many more pledges are they missing due to this issue, and is the artisan guild aware that maybe they should highlight it as a issue. I can not be the only one lets hope they see this conversation. Thank you again. can not wait for the end of the month thanks to you.

Is the link to the free download removed?

Rasmus Bækgaard

What happened To Hydra boss at 75k (mentioned in this post) ? At KS page it states it's at 125k after rearrangement. I was really looking forward to that change.

There are some options you can turn off/on under "My profile settings -> Email notifications"

Michael Villarreal

I had that problem, try looking up the kickstarter on a search engine, or try using a different browser. That's a KS platform issue.

Sean Croteau

I keep trying to sign up for kickstarter and still get a blanc screen ?

Yeah, offering locked stretch goals as paid add-ons is allowed, isn't it? It would make a lot of people happy.

Alexander

Is there a way I can stop receiving notifications for this Kickstarter that I am not signed up for??

Jared Zadorozny

dont' worry the flow is not going to change :)

Artisan Guild

I'm disappointed in this plan, personally. I'm looking forward most to the combination of terrain and miniatures and this reorganization will put all of the terrain at the back of the priority list.

Tiara Agresta

I agree with these numbers. It makes sense looking at it like that.

Julio Ibarra

Yes we will use the poll to make a new flow that works :)

Artisan Guild

I voted, but I think this probably isn't the right approach. Personally, I was very looking forward to the Priestesses, and seeing them get pushed back because of this and maybe not funded is a major letdown, especially so close to them getting unlocked. But besides that, the order of unlocks did have a rhythm to it that now gets completely lost. Just going by the votes, you have a bunch of heroines up next, and all the units and terrain will be an afterthought. Just looking at the Incas and the Inca princess for example, there would now be a bunch of SG inbetween those two, even though they should be pair. My recommendation would be to take this poll as a general direction of what people want (which is pretty much: sexy ladies -> beast (hybrids) -> terrain), but keep the flow intact. How about you combine some SG that belong together? The Incas + the Princess, unlocked together; that SG would have a nice oomph to it and really feel special. Just my idea.

Toffi-sama

To all the people that are still undecided and waiting to see more stretch goals unlocked: I definitely understand the psychology and have done the same thing in the past BUT the way this whole system works is we all try to support together and achieve the unlocking. At this moment Fransesca has promised that she will lower the unlocks for the epic bosses and rearrange the SG based on this poll. This KS will surpass 75k (although I believe that it will really surpass 100k) so this will unlock at least 2 epic bosses as well as the mounted princesses that are ahead in the poll. The best thing for everybody that is on the fence right now is to go support the Kickstarter and see what we can all achieve together. You always have the option of cancelling your backing later if you are still not satisfied (although I doubt that anyone will)

Michael Ballas

Sad that letting people vote puts snake ladies in front of the priestesses that would fit the main core better. The horse riders would have been ace as well. Alas.

Matterbeast

well people interested in a design will still join to get it :)

Artisan Guild

Snake Queen is an epic boss, which they noted are not included in the poll

Chris

Its only been a few days It is moving forward!

Hawke1422

Personally I think competing with bones Kickstarter is what is keeping it lower. You can get miniatures from my mini factory for $2 if you know where the discounts are. You can pick out 20 miniatures at your store after the Kickstarter. from the store for the same price. If more of the stretch goals were achieved it becomes more of a deal but until it happens...

Generalnuke

i think everyone didn't check the entire list. Incas Princess on Raptor sounds amazing

David

Yeah, I also dont understand this, I dont think you should have any say if you dont even back the Kickstarter. I guess people just like to vote? People that voted and arent Backing the Kickstarter, Get your butts on it.!

Sheldon Venter

As I am writing this there are 1610 votes in the poll and 959 supporters on Kickstarter. Which means that if all the people that are interested enough to vote would also support the Kickstarter we would increase the Kickstarter pledge by €22.785 unlocking 4 more stretch goals and going more than halfway to the 5th one! Come on people, what is wrong with you? The models that Francesca has designed are beautiful and we can all agree that the price is more than right for the number and diversity of models that we are getting. Please go support the artists!

Michael Ballas

I voted, but damn I want all of them!!!! Like I dont want to miss any of these!

Sheldon Venter

I have written that in the KS thread and I will write it here too. I feel like the audience of this KS has its limit. It may be impossible to get more backers simply because people without access to affordable printing wont ever back it. On the other hand, creating some exclusive paid add-ons would attract additional funding easily.

Ondrej Masin

Honestly, I'll be happy with however the order changes, or if it stays the same. So much great looking concept art that I struggle to pick out any favourites and can't wait to see how they turn out. Good luck with everything.

Beef Supreme

Some of the best KSs are responsive to the actual funding and backers desires. If people want the SGs rearranged because it looks like they won't make the funding at the top end, there's nothing wrong with doing it. If anything, it shows that they care about what backers want and it makes people move that $1 pledge to a full one. (ie. me)

Dreadknot

Looking at other Kickstarters The Lost Dragons got 1500 backers, your patreon has 2000 but to hit every stretch goal requires 4,000. The Lost Adventures received 3,500 backers but had appeal beyond just those with printers as there was a lot of paper/pdf adventure content. My gut feel is that 2500 backers would be the right number to unlock everything and with more unlocked its value becomes higher for potential backers. There may have been other 3D printed RPG miniatures that did better than Lost Dragons but I don’t know of any. Just my 2 cents.

Alex Varley

I do agree I voted for my favorites anyhow and hope everything gets unlocked and if so maybe even more gets added? hint hint. But honestly rearrange things seems like less incentive in some ways but the bosses are pretty big incentives on their own so hopefully they keep the interest high. I think your models are great! I would hate to miss out on some of those great designs but I'm sure if they don't get unlocked there is always a chance they find their way to the patreon area anyhow. The incentives in kickstarter are kind of cool but I also get angry sometimes with companies over them. I mean like I backed green horde from cool mini or not. They kept doing incentives at 4.5 million was a unicorn the final one. The campaign ended at 4.48... and they could of just sucked it up and said you know what that was awesome have it anyhow.. yet nope

TheCharmingBard

I fear that moving everyone's favorites to the front of the line, will give people less incentive to push for unlocking everything. It's only been a week. Too early to panic about not unlocking stuff. I voted for everything.

Michael Villarreal

I didn’t see the “Snake Queen” in the list, but she gets my vote for a #3 or #4 slot. No matter which sculpts come out on top, I vote for you having another Kickstarter in the near future that uses all the stretch goals that don’t get reached. I don’t think there’s much here that customers wouldn’t want. They’re all good.

Marcus Aurelius

Seems pretty likely we'll get the naga based on the votes.

Maeyanie

Based on the votes, it seems very likely we'll be getting those, so you're probably safe. :)

Maeyanie

Hoping we get the nagas (archers or melee- seems like it might have been easier to rearrange by tribe) unlocked, as there's not very many of those on the market. Things like satyrs and harpies tend to have a lot of variation in media, and without pictures, it's rather difficult to vote for them.

Cratesbane

I'm gonna say I'm only planning on putting money into this if I can get those snakemen and naga ladies. If the nagas get pushed too far back I might not put money in this kickstarter at all. Don't get me wrong, all the figures are nice but those are the ones I really wanted. :/

Dasaria

I'm ok with this. The things I want the most are the Priestess on Tiger, Artemis, and the Hydra. :)

Stephen Brewer

I really like the current order and it does feel a bit weird to see them potentially shifting. What hope is there for any goals that aren't met? My main need is the Blood Priestess line, perhaps the reordering should occur later in the list and roll out the concept to the KS first?

Donald Kelly

I'd love it if the Venus bust and the big bosses were added as Add-Ons to back separately. I don't really need a bunch of player figures (I already have a ton of models), but I'd love to grab the larger stuff.

TheBeardedGoblin

I do not think you should re-arrange your kickstarter stretch goals [I of course voted] BUT I think it may send a message that you do not want to have started AKA you made a plan stay with it. I would say that I really like some models that are listed higher up and I only hope that they make it, if not hopefully they will be released on your patron later or over time. I am backing your KS because I think that you both do great work. I also hope that it does well. Stand Solid in your plan and lets see how it all ends. Maybe contact Lost Dragon and other sites to have a 2nd surge in backers that would be good for all backers and you both. Keep up the great work you do.

Sean Abel

Yeah they were some of my favorites too

Whiskeyjack

I’d rather that they stay as is.

Sam Woods

Agreed the goals are so exciting but I fear that many will never see the light of day due to the 5k increments

Whiskeyjack

Sad to see we almost got the blood priests

Vu Le

Agreed. If this is going to happen, start it at 40k and ditch the snakemen. It’s not unlocked yet and it’d be a nice consolation to those of us not terribly into this idea.

isaac kelley

I would not want to be you guys trying to keep everyone happy but I personally would rather see each stretch goal lowered to every 2k instead of every 5k I think it would draw more people in that are on the fence. I am going to abstain from the vote for two reasons 1 I backed the campaign as is and will continue to support it as is. 2 for the reason I mentioned before I would rather see the price point of the stretch goals lowered. Don't get me wrong I love the art and I feel like I am getting what I paid for as is I just think it would bring more supporters in. There is something about a backing something that seems like it will make to full stretch that draws some people in that are on the fence.

Ricie Dalton

I'm sad the blood priestesses are gonna get pushed down we were so close! As long as we unlock all the women/ tribes before the monsters and terrain I'm happy. Wish we could trade in the Snake men we just unlocked for Snake ladies Just hope those sexy blood priestesses still get a chance to get made.

Whiskeyjack

What a good news to wake up to :x

trungmi

Not a fan of this at all. The current 45, 50, and 55k goals were the builds I was most looking forward to when this started. The idea of those now being pushed further up and not being made, when I assumed they were a lock at the start of the campaign, is pretty shady. I would absolutely love to have the heroine riding a raptor moved up, but starting at the very next goal seems a bit much. Maybe start rearranging after the stuff I want (55k), ha.

isaac kelley

I'll be honest I like all the badass women of this series. It does something I love, it has super cool ass kicking women that are powerful and dangerous while still being very attractive. The two aren't even close to mutually exclusive but some seem to not get that. I will be very happy whatever I get but I will admit I will be more happy with the ladies over the terrain or monsters.

The Weezel

There are some stretch goals I am actually really looking forward to and seeing them put down in order after I locked in my pledge makes me actually think about undoing it... Just another thought that should go into this poll.

Desotar

I'd love the snake women for my Daughters of Khaine army for AoS.

Steve Howland

The snakewomen would be so badass!

Matt Fu

Panther mount? Yes please!
