Ho there, ArcFans!
Hope you've all had a wonderful day.
I'm writing this update today to let you know about some exciting news! My Dad (our resin caster extraordinaire) and I have had a proper discussion about the outcry for resin pledges (ARTISAN ADVENTURER/SWASHBUCKLER/HERO). Over the course of the Kickstarter we've had dozens of people asking when new ones are going to be made available, and a few people have even been quite disgruntled that the ones so far have been limited in number.
For those backers who are new to ArcWorlde - Warploque Miniatures is a very small, family run business. All of our resin casting is done, part time, by one person - my Dad, Rob. When planning the initial campaign, he and I carefully considered how many resin sets he would be able to cast in the time-frame set by the rest of the campaign, with delivery due for roughly April 2020.
This campaign was launched with these numbers of resin pledges available and, amazingly, they were devoured by you hungry lot in the space of a few hours! We had another chat, put some more on, and these were also gobbled up within days.
So, onto the meat of the matter. I have just made available a third wave of resin pledge, and this time, they aren't restricted at all. However, please be aware that there is one man, with only a few hours available a week, lovingly hand-casting each and every resin model. This means that it will take some time.
As such, I have stated the delivery date for these to be October 2020. I have no doubt that we will get them shipped before then, but please be patient with us. We aren't a large corporation with dozens of employees, but we will do the best we can to make sure that your lovely resin models will get to you in good time.
Because of the extra time needed to cast these extra miniatures, they will be shipped at a later date than the initial campaign. Those who backed the first (and initially the only) resin pledges, as well as those who backed for the metal sets, will have their pledges shipped before the time stated in the details of the pledge. Our goal is to have their parcels sent before Salute 2020, so that we can promote and sell ArcWorlde at the most popular wargames show in the UK.
As such, if you are backing the Artisan 3 pledge levels, we will most likely be shipping your models after ArcWorlde hits retail. We will only be selling the metal copies of the starter warbands, as any resin casting time will be focused on getting your pledges done, but nevertheless I hope that this will not be an issue for you.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and for backing the campaign. ArcWorlde: Second Edition is already doing so much better than I had hoped, and my Mum, Dad and myself are amazingly grateful for you all jumping on board.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign.
Cheers,
- Alex
