Imbrian Arts Kickstarter!

[Gibbergeist]

I can now announce that my mate Jody Siegel of Imbrian Arts has launched his Kickstarter. This drive is meant to raise enough funds for Jody to keep him working on his range full time!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1463917927/imbrian-arts-miniatures

With this project we'll be able to produce 4 new miniatures. These miniatures have already been sculpted and are ready to be sent off for moulding and put into production. The miniatures will be cast in a durable and highly detailed plastic material capable of capturing all the detail of the master just as beautifully as the normal lead alloy used in other Imbrian Arts miniatures.

I´ll update this topic with news and pics in the coming weeks!

Click on the kickstarter link above and choose which level you would like. You then put in your credit card info and when the kickstarter is over your card will be charged. If you choose a level with choice of the figures (like only one of the four or something like that), you choose your figure after the kickstarter is over. If you change your mind you can change levels or even cancel until the moment the kickstarter is over. I believe Amazon.com is the intermediary with regards to the credit card info.

Thanks wendy!

I believe it's also possible to create an Aamazon account with a Paypal account but I'll have to check that just to be sure!

Some updates regarding Imbrian Arts Kickstarter!

Thank you so much for funding this project. This first 24 hours has been incredibly exciting! Across the net backers have been asking to have the goblin set released so we're making it our first priority. Once we reach this goal you'll be able to buy goblins as a set or individually. New backers can purchase the set as a reward and current backers can simply add the cost of the set to their pledge. Easy!

And because the stretch was already made you now get a Necromancer Bat with the set for free!

Also some new stretches/concept art made available!

Vanara Monk:

The Rider:

The preferred mount of some outriders and desert rangers, a massive prehistoric bird. Difficult to train, but well suited to covering long distances quickly and capable of disemboweling any grown man with a single kick. Most enemies prefer to avoid direct confrontations with these agile and unpredictable creatures.

Some more updates!

Update- mini reward

I'm opening up the Necromancer Bat free reward to any backer who's pledged $85 or more once we hit $8,500.



Only fair right?

Rider Unlocked!

The $9000 goal has been released! We'll be able to fund the creation of the cassowary rider. You can add the Cassowary Rider to your order by adding $25 to your pledge for the basic model or $35 for the resin collectors version.

And one more with some art!

New Stretch goal- Asura and Gnoll

Every force includes at least one wizard. The Goblins have the troll druid and necromancer bat, the Undead are raised by powerful liches. The desert set will include an Asura sorceress. We're also including a new gnoll miniature in the set. If the Asura gets funded the gnoll will too, and it will be included free in every order with the Asura in it.

Love the pose on the Orc.

 

[Wendy]

I really like the cassowary rider and the goblins. Needless to say, I'll be backing this one. I hope the flute player gets unlocked at some point...

Also, if you go to the kickstarter link and watch Jody's video, there's a cool time lapse of his sculpting of the orc.

 

[Drenth]

The best orcish sculpt since a long time!

 

[Gibbergeist]

Fungeins join the fun!

To help push us over the $12,000 mark and onto the complete desert peoples set I'm releasing Fungeins ahead of schedule! They're quite a lively bunch and the perfect cohorts for your goblin force lead by a Necromancer Bat!

Add them to your order for just $15

 

[Gibbergeist]

Next Goal- Desert Set!

The desert set is almost here! The set will cost $85 and include shipping within the US. It consists of an asura sorceress, six creatures, and 7 bones. The Collector's set will consist of resin miniatures, signed concept art cards, a certificate of authenticity, and 7 bone pieces for $155. Also remember that because both these sets are over $85 you will receive the necromancer bat and another bone free!

Asura and Gnoll Unlocked!

 

[Gibbergeist]

Important update: PayPal!

It was brought to my attention that some people aren't able to create amazon accounts and haven't backed the project. I've created an online shop at http://www.imbrianarts.com/shop for these customers. If someone you know falls into this category let them know!

And another piece of concept art!

Basilisk man - desert creature:

People asked for a larger picture of the basilisk men. I decided a more interesting pose was in order, and an alternate cockatrice head too. The cockatrice version will fit well in a goblin force lead by the troll druid.

Death Knight!

I'm proud to say that the next stretch goal is for the Undead! The death knight is going to be one of the elite miniatures in your undead force and is the key to unlocking some truly nasty creatures. It may be difficult to tell from the concept, but the death knight's armour is perforated with holes in certain places, much like an elaborate censer, and from these intricately carved holes weep clouds of terror, like velvety black smoke. You can purchase him as an add on by increasing your pledge or at the basic or gamer levels for new backers.

Update #15: New Rewards, New Miniatures, New stretch goals!

So many updates!!!! Ok I've added some really great deals to the rewards and backers are jumping on it! I'm offering a deal on every miniature in the kick starter plus every imbrian arts miniature sculpted from 01 Jan 2013 to 01 Jan 2014 for $350. Even better than that is the deal I'm offering for collector's sets. Get every miniature sculpted during 2013 cast in resin plus the concept cards, certificates of authenticity and bones for $550. Both of these rewards are limited to 100 each, so get them while they're here!

Now on to new miniatures! Liches are power wizards whose magic has allowed them to continue their study of necromancy and science well after their body has failed them. Secreting themselves away in their underground tombs they have continued to push the boundaries of science with the aid of their necromantic powers, creating some of the most ghastly monstrosities imaginable. But as the resources of their burial horde dwindle, and the technology of the surface has begun to make gains upon that of the underworld, they must venture fourth again in order to enslave and harness what can be learned of the outside world.

Update #16: Piper Unlocked, Free Ifrit, and Monk WIP

The piper has been unlocked and we're well on our way to unlocking the next stretch goal, a free miniature! The Ifrit is a creature who is part of the desert peoples. If this stretch goal is unlocked any backer who pledges $110 or more will get one for free. Let's make it happen!

I also have some WIP shots of the monk which is currently under way and will be finished in a few more days!

Update #17: Free Ifrit unlocked! Next stretch goal, zombies

We're blazing through are stretch goals! The Ifrit has been unlocked and will be included in your order for FREE if you pledge $110 or more.

The next 3 stretch goals are aimed at creating a pack of zombies for the undead set. You can pick them up in the set, as a single add on, or in a 3 pack once all three are unlocked.

Nothing like a good death spore.

Update 21 brings you pics of the monk, an unlocked zombie 3pack and the newest stretch goal, Death Spores!

Death spores are a favourite past time of many liches. It can take decades to train the fungi, but through careful grooming it can start to take on a corpse like appearance. Death spore sculpture is considered to be an art form which can take centuries to master. And indeed the fruit of this labour is the delight of seeing its hapless victims fall prey and be consumed by the angry fungus. Aaah death spores.

The zombie 3pack has been unlocked! you can now add it to your order as an add on.

The monk is complete! He's looking awesome if you don't mind my saying. I'm pretty happy with him.

 

[Gibbergeist]

Lets try a different approach with the undead set. We'll fund this set with 8 basic miniatures and your choice of either the Shadow or Bound Corpse Knight as your 9th miniature. I love them both so I'll let you choose what goes into your set. Our target for this deal is $33,000.

A corpse knight is born when a necromancer takes the body of a recently slain warrior and binds its soul within its body before it can escape. A black candle is placed upon the fallen warrior's head and once the invocation is complete it lights itself with an erie flicker. In the case of this knight, a slain orc warrior, formidable as a living opponent becomes an implacable foe, immune to any pain, and fighting with the cunning and ferocity of his living brethren.

It's not unusual for a necromancer to enlist the aid of demons in their works. A shadow is one type of demon that is commonly attributed to necromancy. These nightmarish creatures stalk unsuspecting foes. They are terrified of light, but nevertheless require a small amount to create a path with which they can travel toward their prey. Be wary of the full moon!
