Hey all
We are getting the last bit of stuff with Backerkit set up and hopefully will have that to you asap. At the same time we are still working on sculpts and will be posting a couple pics tonight of what we are doing with the models.
Also we decided to go ahead and develop the snap together function of the models anyways even though the stretch goal was not met. We feel it adds to the minis and will make them a better experience for those of you that don’t like to glue things. The snap together function will also be on the STL files.
Thank you all and see you later tonight with a pic update!

One last note for today

I have been a collector of miniatures since the late 70’s. To this day I track down vintage minis that I used to own but did not survive my child hood. One of my favorite lines was when Grenadier did the first Dragon of the Month set. They all came with little alters with gems on them that you could collect and then line up into a ring. Pretty simple but as a kid I thought it was amazing.
As a tribute to those old dragons we are going to include alters that will have a gem of the correct color and a symbol for each dragon on them. They will interlock and form a larger alter/base for Bol’Logoth. Above you will see a sample concept sketch of Seris’s alter and stone.
These will be included in both the STL only and Resin kit pledge levels that include a dragon including Argaleth the Dragon Turtle.
Thank you all and take it easy

First Thank you all sooooo much for taking a chance with our little company and the miniatures we are making.
Being that this will be the last update before the end of the campaign I want to give you info on how we will be proceeding in giving you your rewards.
Bol'Logoth sculpt:
Below you will see pics of the current progress of Bol'Logoth. She is all basically mapped out. The next phase is texturing and posing.
Rewards:
So we have created a workflow list that you will see bellow and it lays out in what order we will be working on STL files and finished resin figures. As seen in the campaign, some minis are sculpted and some are represented as drawings. The workflow list is based on which figures are furthest along to least developed. We will take each file, make sure that all models are split as cleanly as possible to hide any seam lines the best we can while making sure that they print correctly. Once we run a few successful test prints we will send the STL file to backers and production of the physical resin kits of that particular model will begin. All resin models for both regular backers and retailers will all mail out at the same time (when all models are done being produced). During production we will be updating here so you can follow the progress.
So what does this all mean to you in plain terms? If you are getting STL files you will receive them individually as they are completed and optimized. If you are getting resin models you will receive all of them at the same time once they are all finished being made.
Work flow:
So we have been working on Bol'Logoth but we are going to pause working on her as of now to make sure we can get the models that are closest to being finished done. Reason being is that we want to be able to deliver STL's as soon as possible. This is the order in which we will be getting STL's finished, and delivered:
1. Seris
2. Illandir
3. Ugath
4. Dangerous Thoughts
5. Baby Mud Shark
6. Vulvathir
7. Falmaan
8. Argaleth
9. Bol'Logoth
10. Yongolyn
11. Rholenthir
12. Fel'Nigh
Backerkit:
We are currently setting up backerkit. We are trying to set it up so if you want to add more rewards to your pledge then you will be able too.
Again, Thank you everyone for backing us. We look forward to getting our miniatures into your printers and hands!
Bol’Logoth sculpting update #4

Hey all! Just wanted to post another progress pic of Bol’Logoth. Some have stated they did not like the fat nature of this sculpt. We are in fact going more for a Kaiju look for her. We totally understand if that is not your taste. Please feel free to check out the rest of the dragons to see if one of them catches your fancy. We will be posting full body drawings of the ones only portrayed as heads in the next couple days.
Take it easy

Bol'Logoth update #3

Hey all!
Just another set of progress pics of Bol'Logoth from the work we did on her last night. Keep in mind the sculpt is still in the early stages and details like scales, wrinkles and posing are the last thing to be added. Most of yesterdays work was done on the torso.
We will be doing a general update when we get to the beginning of the last week of the campaign.
Take it easy
David
