KickStarter is now live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/67 ... and-orcs-a

Hey everyone. Many of you know we stepped in to assist Rykar when he had some issues producing the Orc team for his Indiegogo campaign.

We've been working with the sculptor to make some adjustments to the team to get them to have a look to match up with our product lines. I as of an hour ago have a image to show you now of what the final team will look like. This will be the Deluxe version of the team with 23 figurines which will go for $45 in Trollcast (less than $2 per a miniature). We'll also have a non-Deluxe version for $35 in Trollcast with 16 figurines (which will be missing 2 Linemen, 2 Goblins, 1 Thrower, the Star Orc and the Chainsaw Orc)

This was an unexpected expense for Impact! but we wanted to help Rykar out as we worked with him on our Necromicon range. So the plan is to run a KickStarter in May to help us fund the costs of getting the team made. At the same time ... we will be using KickStarter to fund getting the license for teams from several other companies. For example: two teams from Black Army Productions. We will be converting their Halfling and Deep Ones teams (images below) into Trollcast as well and be moving both to be full 16 players teams + extras (like Halfling sideline figures and a large big guy and a thrower model for the Deep One team).

So I look forward to bring these teams to you in May.

I'll update this thread as I get more news about the teams we'll be offering as part of this one big fundraising effort to move some teams from other companies into Trollcast.

If any other companies want to get in on our convert other companies minis to Trollcast KickStarter ... we are offering what I hope is a pretty good licensing deal to do so. The more the merrier! Hopefully I'll be able to announce the 4th team for the KickStarter soon. I was told today that the contract was close to being agreeable to both parties.

Here is the list of what is possibly going to be in this KickStarter:

Teams licensed from other companies:
1 - Black Army Halfling team (offered as normal and deluxe)
2 - Black Army Deep Ones team with JBDemon Studio Big Paul as the big guy
3 - ZN Games Ulfhedner team with 6 big guys and 10 small Impact! werewolves and werepoodles
4 - Thalassians from Greendog Miniatures
5 - RAFM Reptiliad team from RAFM

All new modeled teams from Impact!:
6 - Orc team shown above
7 - Elf team from Impact!

Teams with some new model from Impact!
8 - Calasain from Impact! (3 new body sculpts with the team) (21 figure team)
9 - Divine Wind from Impact! (5 new sculpts from Phil Bowen added to the team) (18 figure team)
10 - Desert Dog from Impact! (5 new sculpts from Phil Bowen added to the team) (18 figure team)
11 - Vampire from Impact! (23 figures - working on 2 more)

Existing Teams from Impact converted to affordable Trolcast:
12 - Impact! Thunder Hammer Dwarf team - 19 minis
13 - Impact! Razorback/Gnoll teams - sold together as one team (24 minis)
14 - Impact! Night Elf Elfball team (21 minis)
15 - Impact! Black Widows team (19 minis)
16 - Impact! Samhaino team (20 minis)
17 - Impact! Ratmen from Impact! (17 minis)
18 - Impact! Deadling from Impact! (25 minis)

Other models agreed to license:
A Band of Orcs band from A Band of Orcs

Good luck with this, really like the orc team now (and orcs are one that I don't own), but April is a bad time for me (Dreadball Xtreme FTW + Salute), so guess I'll have to wait till they hit the store.

It will probably run until mid-May Darkson ... if that helps at all.

Mid-august would be better.

I LOVE the Deep Sea ones.

I'm with Lawquoter, the Deep Ones team intrigues me. The Orcs look superb!, can't wait for them.

I have been eyeing the Deep Ones for awhile from Black Army. I am quite pleased.

Tom @ Impact!

This is awesome news! I am a huge fan of the Trollcast line (both for the physical properties of the material, and the cost savings). The Trollcast teams have been a huge hit in our league. I'm excited to share the news of the new teams!

I'm excited to hear what team (and hopefully teams!) will be making the move into Trollcast.

Consider me in.

It would be nice if there was an option to make an all frog team (with Octopus Big guy).

This kickstarter should take me to 98 teams....

Man, I thought my Blood Bowl collection was complete, but trollcast halflings could push me over! Is there a Starplayer Treeman stretch goal?

If the KickStarter does well ... definitely possible a Starplayer Treeman could be included with the team for the KS backers.

The poses of the Frog men are not different enough for that to be a good Slann team. However ... I am working to see if we can add something that would work for a Frogman team as the 4th team offering for the KickStarter.

Good!

I've working to see if I can add on as many as 10 other pewter teams onto this KickStarter beyond the 3 that I know I have now to convert to Trollcast.

I feel a sudden pain in my wallet.....
