The second Kickstarter for HOMM iii closed a month or two ago, but ads the remaining 3 factions - Stronghold (barbarian Castle), Conflux ()Elemental Castle), and Cove (pirate Castle), along with many enhancements and extras, including ships and naval battles. So of course I got almost every thing in that as well - delivery probably late 2025. Also of note, Archon studios has retained Jervis Johnson to work on a HOMM tabletop miniatures game. Interesting!
If anyone happens to be interested, the Gamefound late pledge manager is open. Now to play the darned game! :-)
Quite a bang for the buck! I laughed at the Tower expansion and "stretch goals". Is that some sort of corporation-speak or is it referring to levels of wargamer fitness? ... I jest of course.
ReplyDelete"Stretch Goals" is normal Kickstarter terminology for additional items or upgrades made available as the $ pledged to support the project increase to a certain amount... although we probably all need to do more stretching! :-)
DeleteA lot of stuff indeed !
ReplyDeleteGonna need its own shelf! :-)
DeleteNo doubt! Are any armies displaced?
DeleteOf course not... but I do need to get another shelf unit! :-)
DeleteAll very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThey did an excellent job on all the components. I need to use some "Magic Wash" on the figures to bring out the details.
DeleteSome really nice-looking figures there - but they do need to be painted, sorry! just look how much nicer my mates Zombicide board game looks with the figures all painted up!
ReplyDeleteI think that depends upon usage. If I am going to use them for a tabletop game, definitely. For the boardgame alone,, I think the wash is probably adequate. One can always progress from one to the other!
