Woodlanders Kickstarter from Cromarty Forge

As I pack the 1st boxes for the Woodlanders Kickstarter, I wanted to give a little friend a chance to say hello! This line will be my 1st foray into selling stls for figures. I'm aiming to get the full army out in August for download. If there is enough demand I'll use the proceeds from digital sales to fund the translation into a full metal line.

Cheers

Humble Thanks

Dear All,

Once again, thank you for your support! The Woodlanders have funded!

I have sent out the surveys, please take a look over these and fill them in at your convenience.  If you want more trees than you have pledged for, simply order what you want and I will get in contact by E-mail to arrange a paypal invoice to settle the difference.

Over the next two weeks I will be getting in the final elements to fulfil your orders, then I will start dispatch.

Thanks again, and I am looking forwards to putting miniatures into your hands.

Cheers

Seventh Stretch Goal Unlocked

Hello All,

I am very please to say, that in the last few hours of the project, the seventh stretch goal has just been unlocked. This means that the Centaur banner will be added to the Hero pack! Thanks for your continued support and backing. There is only one stretch goal left, and it is very close to being unlocked.

Production resin models are coming in now, so all is looking set for dispatch of miniatures in July. There is a photo of one of the dragon minis below with a viking chariot for scale (the model is quite big!).

Note that the forest walls are the feed for the dragon cast, these are a potential extra that I can't guarantee they will be on your mini when it arrives (I'll do my best).

Woodlander army: 10mm wargaming miniatures in lead free pewter and resin.

Sixth Stretch Goal unlocked!

Hi All,

Many thanks for all off the preliminary orders, these really help me get the right quantities of miniatures ready before the end of the campaign.

I'm happy to say that the sixth stretch goal (centaur hero) has just been unlocked and will be added to the character pack. This leaves just two more stretch goals to go.

The centaur hero has been added to the character pack! Many thanks for your support.
Many thanks

Woodlander army: 10mm wargaming miniatures in lead free pewter and resin.

Preliminary Orders Please!

Hi All,

If you have not done so already, please can you give me a rough idea of what you will be ordering? This is not a final order (Its absolutely fine to change your order in the survey that I send out when the Kickstarter closes) it just helps me ensure I have enough of everything for a quicker turnaround.

Below are some pics of the miniature picking process, working through kilos of lead free pewter!

Have a fantastic weekend,

Cheers

Fourth and fifth stretch goal, and a little extra bit

Hi All,

We just passed the middle of the campaign, and thanks to your support it was done with a flourish! I am pleased to say that the fourth and fifth stretch goals have been unlocked. I have also added a little extra item "the cauldron" at the request of a couple of people on the warmaster (GW) facebook group, that will help if you decide you want to play your Woodlanders with an evil streak.

I have over 20 Kilos of woodlanders downstairs that I am sorting through, picking and packing in anticipation of boxing and getting them out to you. On Tuesday I'll be putting out a request for an idea of what you want to order, if you already have this please go ahead and let me know in the comments section.

Once again, thanks for your support, and a special thanks for getting the message out there about this kickstarter.

Cheers

Third stretch goal, and cauldron.

Hi All,

Thanks to your support I was able, this morning, to add the musicians to the hero pack:

Also, due to the interventions of Christopher O. and Adrew S. on Warmaster (GW) facebook group, I have been persuaded to make a cauldron like object that may appeal to the darker leanings of some backers:

I still need to figure this one out a bit, but it should find its way into the hero pack.

Thank you everyone, that is the 2nd stretch goal unlocked, so the banners will be added to the hero Pack. I've added a video to the site, updated a few links so that the gallery is more obvious. Thanks again, and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Project Update #1: 10mm Pictish Woodlanders, Kickstarter from Cromarty Forge

Woodlander army: 10mm wargaming miniatures in lead free pewter and resin.

Project funded and 1st stretch goal unlocked

Hi All,

Well despite the lack of stability on Kickstarter, thanks to you, the campaign is off to a great start! Funded already, 1st stretch goal unlocked, and most of the way to the 2nd.

I've updated the links on the pictures so that they take you to the appropriate place in the album on my web page, this should make looking at the detail of the models a little easier. I've also added some painted models to the linked album (thanks to Andy Meechan for his skills with the brush!)

Thanks for your support, please share the kickstarter far and wide with anyone who may be interested.

Cheers

Wound Counters from Cromarty Forge

Looked in on the resin casts for the Woodlanders kickstarter, and Scotia Grendel have done a great job, so I'm aiming to launch tomorrow (assuming Kickstarter give me the green light).

In the meantime I find myself sculpting wound counters, a strange part of my job that makes me wonder how much is too much... Thought I'd share some work in progress picks with you.

10mm Pictish Woodlanders, Kickstarter from Cromarty Forge

Woodlander army: 10mm wargaming miniatures in lead free pewter and resin.

Story
Cromarty Forge 10mm are proud to announce our third 10mm army: The Pictish Woodlanders. The Woodlanders follow on the heels of the successfully funded Samurai ratmen, and Vampire Vikings. These highly detailed lead free pewter and resin models have been digitally sculpted, 3D printed, and test cast. With your support we can move to production casting, and put these models in your hands and on your table tops.

If you help fund this project you will receive a set of highly detailed 10mm Pictish Woodlanders models cast in lead-free pewter and high quality resin. All models are supplied unpainted, and without bases.

Select one of the reward tiers to the right to purchase Trees. To add additional Trees please add multiples of £9 to the base pledge level. You can select your units using the survey that will be sent at the end of the Kickstarter, most units cost one Tree, where more Trees are needed this is identified in the unit image below.

As a gesture of thanks, if you purchased Items from my Shop, or from the 10mm Ratmen kickstarter, or the Vampire Vikings Kickstarter, you can add one free Tree to your pledge.

To streamline this kickstarter I have used Kickstarter's inbuilt postage and packaging.

There is a gallery of the miniatures available here.

All models are supplied unpainted and without bases. The Raptors, Tree Women and Wood Dragon are resin models, all other models are made from lead free pewter. Models contain small and sharp elements. 12+ recommended.  If successfully funded, all models here will become available at my shop after pledges have been sent out.

As the campaign progresses I will add to the list of stretch goals, all stretch goals will be additions to the hero pack.

Thanks to your support, I am happy to say that the guards above will be added as a free expansion to the Hero's pack.

Thanks to your support, I am happy to say that the Standards above will be added as a free expansion to the Hero's pack.

Thanks to your support, I am happy to say that the Musicians above will be added as a free expansion to the Heros pack.

If the campaign reaches £3000, the Centrad hero will be added to the Hero pack.

If the project achieves £3500, the centrad Banner bearer will be added to the hero pack.

Laura Jeacock, for the artwork that fuelled  the range, thank you!

All my backers on the Samurai ratmen, and Vampire Vikings, thank you for your support in making these ranges possible.

Scotia Grendel: Although there have been less biscuits and more phone calls during lock down it has not changed your level of support. Once again you have my thanks for making this possible.

Ross Paton of Forth Valley Wargamers: For the huge amount of work that you have done on tabletop simulator. You have made it possible for me to play the game I love with my friends during lockdown. Looking forwards to North of the Wall when it becomes possible for us to play face to face again.

Warmaster Podcast: For keeping us going through the dark days.

Andy Meechan: For your continued fantastic and priceless attention to detail you will always have my thanks.

Theo Andrew: Thanks for the support and ideas, thanks for the games and laughs.

Risks and challenges
The design and testing phase of this project are complete, the miniatures shown here are examples of the final lead-free pewter and resin models. Your support of this Kickstarter will fund the move to production and manufacturing of these miniatures. The remaining risks associated with this project concern manufacturing and distribution:
- Scotia Grendel (a company with over 30 years experience in casting of metal miniatures) will be handling the manufacturing.

- I have eighteen years experience in delivering large scale time critical projects.
- Depending on how well the campaign goes, I will either be completing the packing and distribution myself, or using the services of Scotia Grendel.

Delivery dates include a healthy margin on the anticipated timeline for manufacturing and distribution, I have increased the time margin to try and account for the potential impact of COVID 19 on delivery and manufacturing timelines. As with the Samurai Ratmen, and the Vampire Vikings it is my intention to deliver all orders well ahead of the stated dates.
