If A Song of Ice and Fire hadn’t just come out I’d definitely be backing to get some GoT minis.

Probably more a case of bad timing than a bad product.

Only saw this recently, and no spare cash, although being honest it is not something I feel the need for in my collection.  Different forces maybe.

I think also the market at present is swamped, add in being a big battle game I think its tough at present.  The fact I stumbled on it by accident rather than seeing coverage also might so they missed a beat on the advertising.

Hope it does well though

Bit worried they are starting to over promise in it now to get it funded (I’ve seen other companies struggle after doing similar things). I’d be a lot more confident if they just ran with their original costings. One thing of a KS is to judge the demand for a product, and for whatever reason (be it advertising, rules etc) it looks like the demand isn’t there.

Perhaps everyone just wants KS schemes with 60% KS exclusives to goad you into backing. But I don’t see anything wrong with the Forgotten Worlds KS in itself.

But better the KS fail (or the creators cancel the project if it only scrapes past the funding mark), and come back again with new marketing and perhaps rules. I remember the Gates of Antares KS bombing BADLY (even with Rick Priestley, Kevin White and Bob Naismith behind the project) because it really was a KS to create something from scratch but there wasn’t a fully fleshed out playthrough video, produced rules, production minis, and even reviews on day one of the project (like we see from CMON).

I think these days there are SO many KS schemes around that backers are starting to “shop” competitively. If there aren’t massive discounts, loads of KS exclusives and a polished marketing campaign…they just move on (no matter how good the idea, the sculpts are)…..which is a shame 🙁

I’m not really interested in the figures but always on the lookout for something rulewise. As I mentioned before I don’t want figure removal but single large bases that nearly all historical non skirmish  games are these days. Makes it simpler toive the units but also cheaper as you don’t have to but the exact number of figures required.

Haven’t got much to add other than it lacks the “wow” factor for me.  I don’t need boxes of generic fantasy models for anything at tge moment and the game doesn’t do anything for me that existing established fantasy rank and flank games don’t already.

They are nice enough models but I have such a lot of projects on the go already I’m not going to pick up another unless it twists my arm up my back and knees me in the figurative kidneys.

As for what that elusive wow factor may be, I have no idea.  That’s for them to think up not me.

I don’t care about their rules or anything else for that matter, I just want the Human Infantry. Lots of them.

I still have hope it’s gonna fund and think it’s a good product but I agree, this KS should have come before Cmon’s.
