I suspect there’s a misconception about how large many miniatures businesses are

@oathsworn – I’m a big fan of several lesser-known games (unfortunately, I haven’t picked yours up, I’m ashamed to say!) and the one thing they usually have in common is that they’re a handful of people making a product they love, not behemoths of the industry. That’s part of their appeal. Supporting a labour of love is more satisfying than rushing out and buying the latest money-grabbing update to a force that you get with certain Gargantuan Workhorses of the industry (although I am partial to a bit of Malifaux). Which is why it bugs me a bit when I hear people complaining about smaller companies going to Kickstarter for their funding. These companies simply don’t have the available cash to throw into production of a product with no certain return.

In short, keep making the cool stuff and I have no doubt I’ll buy in eventually! (Too many awesome games, too little cash 🙁 )
