I didn't go all-in so as to avoid their work and focus on the stuff that I liked (of which there was plenty). I stand to loose a tidy sum but it could have been much worse had I taken the bait "hook, line, and sinker".

There's one project on the horizon whose creator previously lived up to that standard and consequently may rely on my support. I'm also waiting for another long-delayed project to deliver on its commitments. Beyond that, I may be done with all this crowdfunding nonsense.

I won't pretend to know anything about Kickstarter, as I don't. <br /><br />I know Pendraken Miniatures operate their own scheme for crowdfunding, but what they do is only offer the chance to pledge after the whole range has been designed and cast, so they are solely looking to seek a return on their investment in good time as opposed to how Kickstarters normally work. Obviously this method isn't available to most companies or individuals, but I only mention as some reading may consider this another option, which would somewhat safe-guard pledges and enthuse backers.

Been seen off at least once (probably twice if the latest comments on another of my KS pledges is anything to go by) so only now go with those who have a proven track record (e.g. Mantic, Meridian Miniatures, or Ramshackle Games). Hadn't heard of TOH/2 until your posting but I can see why you'd want the minis - very nice designs. With a lick of paint from your brush and they'd have looked staggeringly good too :-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176622238869731118.post-38576727039673218182014-11-08T17:16:57.912-05:002014-11-08T17:16:57.912-05:00This post explains a lot.

I have been checking the CSM website from time to time now for a few months looking for the TOH minis to show up, as your endorsement of them had me interested. I am very sorry to hear that you're out some dough- I certainly hope we all get to see some flumphs in these parts one day. Good luck.VeronaKidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468008554680895487noreply@blogger.com
