@horus500 given that this is a boardgame where the minis function as pawns the lack of consistent scale doesn’t really surprise me. It may very well be intentional so Solomon Kane is always ‘the big’ mini compared to the monsters.

Do the Virtues look good ?
Because to me those are what sold the game to me (miniature wise).

The exclusivity trap is hard to avoid. I effectively have to tell myself : “no you do not need this kickstarter at all.(period)”
Because when I back I tend to go ‘all in’ as the entry levels often have too little of the actual game to be ‘useful’.
The Scale 75 instant colour kickstarter demonstrated this perfectly.
Yes … you could buy just one set of colours. However they were distributed in such a way that the colours that you ‘need’ are likely to be found in multiple sets (as proven when you look at which paints they used in their tutorial videos).
As they are a business and their goal is to maximize sales this is unfortunately a standard strategy.
