We are four days away from our Kickstarter (Monday, March 23 at 12pm EST) and we have been hard at work trying to finish up our Cavalry and add some more concept art so you can visualize each of our Stretch Goals. We placed some new pictures of our digital sculpts for the four different cavalry variants and added some new art for war machines and support heroes. Check out our pictures on our website or Facebook page.

Building on top of the core range will be two more launches including a fantasy element and support troops such as animated Terracotta warriors, dragons, undead warriors, exorcists, war engines, siege bows, shield-bearers, and war drums to name a few.

No force would not be complete without the myriad of war machines and support options that make fielding armies unique. Adding a variety of support choices can turn your standard army into a potent offensive force or a immovable solid stone wall. The army support options maintain a more historical feel to the army and may be included in both historical and fantasy games.

I've been looking forward to this. However I'm looking for rules, reflecting the famous formations of this period, as well as character models like Zhuge Liang and how his rules in turn benefit your army.

I'm really looking forward to this. I started you a KS page on Reaper miniatures forums. I personally think you should put a couple fantasy options in the first wave. Here is why... I think you'll find that you'll sell more to fantasy and rpg games than you will historical gamers. But at the end of the day the ideal thing would be to have both. Im my experience Kickstarters with mixed factions at the start and mixes throught the stretch goals do much better than ones that have one faction as wave 1 and the the next faction is a stretch goal.

Maybe put the Foo Dogs and Kitsune characters in Wave one. I think most people want a nicely mixed line, but I think embracing the fantasy people early and mixing the lines will draw interest from both sides early. Also, by mixing them you won't disappoint historical gamers when the stretch goals are fantasy.
