The Molds Were A Success!

The Master Molds for the Armoured Ratman and the Minigun Weapon Team were successful! I can confidently add them to the Kickstarter now that the potential of destroying the master is out of the way. I haven't had a mold fail on me in a long while, but the possibility is there.
So let me introduce you to these new additions!
First off The Armoured Rat:
This model will be added to each Core Set Rewards Tier as a Stretch Goal for hitting $2100! Cheers!
Secondly The Ratmen Mini-gun Weapon Team!
This Model will be available as an Add-On after the Campaign has concluded (as will all the models in this campaign in case there are specific models you would like in addition.)
It's been a busy weekend and hopefully this week will be a busy week to come. I look forward to getting some more stuff together to show you soon! I want to thank you for making it possible for me to sculpt these miniatures and I'm glad to be able to share them with you!

I have some new sculpts to share with you this week. One of an Armored Ratman and another of a Ratman Weapons Team. I hope to have them molded up over the next few days and if all goes well with the molds I'll add them to the Kickstarter. I'll keep it short and sweet today and leave you with some pictures.
Once these are all molded up, i'll update you with how the castings turn out! Till then!

New Stretch Goal Unlocked and New Add-On

Good News! The molds turned out great! So that means some new additions!
The Book Rat with the staff and sword has also been added as a stretch goal and will be added to all core set rewards! If you didn't have enough Book Rats though, how about a Regiment? As Requested, here is the first of the Regiment Add-Ons.
Add-On's are additional items you can add to your pledge rewards after the kickstarted has concluded. You will be able to select whatever you like from the Kickstarter when you get your Kickstarter Survey Through Backerkit.
As for what's to come? I'm going to keep sculpting and casting minis and hopefully have something new and exciting to show you soon.
Until Next Time,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I just wanted to show you a few things before they get molded up and also mention that I've signed up for Backerkit to handle the details and make sure you get exactly what you want.
Backerkit
First a quick mention about what Backerkit is. Backerkit is a resource for Kickstarter Campaigns that allows Backers to fine tune their Pledges after the campaign has concluded allowing you to get exactly what you want from the kickstarter. After the campaign concludes you will be getting a Backer Survey through backer kit that will have all the options available to you in a single place.
Backerkit also keeps everything extremely organized and streamlined so that I can better fulfill rewards for backers without any confusion.
If you want to learn more about Backerkit you can check out their website at https://www.backerkit.com/
New Sculpts!
Now for the new sculpts! I have four models to show you today. A Book Rat Standard, Musician, another bookrat infantry model and a WIP shot of a Ratman Minigun which should be finished sometime later tonight. If everything goes well, I should have these molded up on Monday.
That's all for now, It's been a great first week of the Campaign and I want to thank you all for being so supportive of this project.
Till next time,
-Thomas (aka Mallius)
More Painted Minis!

A quick update today with a few pictures to show you!
First off we've met a new stretch goal!
Everyone who picks up the Core set reward will be getting this guy as well. Another sword wielding Ratman to add to your collection!
I really wanted to add the banner bearer at $1500, but i'm still experiencing some difficulties with the mold for that miniature. The integrity of this project is incredibly important to me (if not the most important aspect of this project) and i don't want to make any promises that i can't keep.
That being said, i did clean up one of the castings from the failed mold and got it all painted up, I think it turned out rather nicely, but it involved more creative painting work than i'd be willing to subject to anyone backing this project. Here's the mini all painted up!
I have a good idea what is up and it is going to require me to re-sculpt the skull on this banner and remold the miniature once again (third times the charm). More work than i ever wanted to do on this guy, but it will definitely be worth it in the end.
I have a few more sculpts currently in the works and hope to have some more greens to show you in the coming days.
Till Next Time,
-Thomas
