125000! REALLY!?!?!!?!
I told Mike he was making me a liar...
Well, the idea of progression miniatures was tossed out awhile ago, which led to an amusing discussion about babies and tombstones (it may have gone the way of zombie babies as well). So this is what we've got:
So, to our Backers! At the 125000 goal level (100x our original goal!) we are going to give every backer (from the $12 backer level and higher) 1 sprue that has a baby dwarf, boy dwarf, girl dwarf, and a tombstone. You read that correctly, IT'S FREE (the first one is free!). We are not planning on painting them (painting levels can discuss this with us via messages). No .pdfs attached to these guys. Bases are not included. The kids will be 15mm to the eyes. The tombstone will be 25mm tall. The baby will be proportional to the kids in size. ($4 for additional sprues - if you want them)
Concept Art:
We're not making you pay any more, but we are pestering you to keep telling everyone (like reddit, facebook, twitter, forums, local game store, your favorite rich benefactor, etc.) [If of course this interests you...]

Creator Megan on July 25, 2012
Absolutely! She's got that sly look in her eye!
Creator Stonehaven Miniatures on July 25, 2012
@Megan- That kid is about to yarn bomb the crap out of a dungeon! :D
Creator Megan on July 25, 2012
Wah, I hadn't even noticed the knitting needles! As a knitter myself, I love it. She's totally a punk-rock DIY little lady - approved!
Creator Jarrod Selsmark on July 25, 2012
Its x1 per backer irrespective of the number of sets in your reward level and any additional beyond one will be $4 for each addition.
Creator Rusty Q. Shackleford on July 25, 2012
So, firstly. Where do I get a sprue with beards to give these kids?
Secondly, what about the x2/x5 ones? Will they only receive 1 sprue of these or will they receive 2 and 5 respectively?
Creator Bradley Zakany on July 24, 2012
Remember everyone, you will, at certain levels, get extra weapons to customize the kids with.
Creator Sean L. on July 24, 2012
My wife thinks if she uses knitting needles she should use them in a hand crossbow....lol
Creator Bradley Zakany on July 24, 2012
The boy looks more board than scared.
Creator Adam Ridgway on July 24, 2012
You magnificent bastards! You know I am going to be running games now where character creation isn't just done on the sheet, its played on the table. Hope we hit it!
Creator Stonehaven Miniatures on July 24, 2012
@Jason - Yes.
.
The Boy is supposed to be scared, cause he's been kidnapped!
.
I say she's a statement about how some feminist women are trying get back to do all those stereotypical things they were trying to get away from on top of being the independent driven gals they are today. Or.. wouldn't you rather have a nice wooly shirt, rather than an axe? Plus, knitting needles are the new weapon of choice for any little girl who is serious about taking on the hordes of evil.
Creator Jason Fordham on July 24, 2012
So add $4/each for additional sprues beyond one free?
Creator Jacek on July 24, 2012
I'm absolutely stunned - Great kickstarter guys. Pledged Ultimate Adventurers + extras from Poland here
Creator Eva S on July 24, 2012
While I love the idea of the little girl having an axe (yay axes!), I immediately thought about the character in Homestuck who murders people with knitting needles when people started talking about her not having a weapon. :)
Creator Jackson Starky on July 24, 2012
1,500 backers! Only 59 more! And that should see us to the goal... and all those $1 backers need to pump their pledges up to the $12 level for the kids! Do it for the children! Please! :-D
Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on July 24, 2012
Click the 'Contact Me' link on the right hand side of the screen, next to the picture of the dwarven paladin :)
Creator Devin Pham on July 24, 2012
How do I message Stonehaven about getting the extra troll and dwarf? I want to get one of each XD
Creator Jackson Starky on July 24, 2012
That's at the $56 backer level, + $4 for the blacksmith, + $10 for the troll
Creator Jackson Starky on July 24, 2012
@Beautifulfatman0: At $70, you'll get one of everything, including the troll. Add another $10 for the t-shirt, and another $10 for international shipping if needed.
Creator Beautifulfatman0 on July 24, 2012
So what do I need to pay to get everything, the troll, the kids, all the dwarves? What do I need to put in on top of the Ultimate adventures package? Where exactly do the Add-on goals end?
Creator Jackson Starky on July 24, 2012
This is awesome. In fairness to the concept artist, these are dwarves we're talking about, not elves or even humans, but I agree; kids should be happier. They haven't yet figured out what life will do to them. ;-) So yes, make the kids happier, please? And I agree: give the girl an axe! A wooden axe, similar to the boy's sword. I mean, knitting needles are fine weapons in a pinch, but no self-respecting dwarf woman will go without learning to swing an axe or a hammer, so the same should be true of her daughter. :-)
Creator Bradley Zakany on July 24, 2012
Those knitting needles are probably pretty dangerous if she goes for the eyes.
Creator Rowan Tribe on July 24, 2012
Oh man, that's so not fair - I have to pay RENT here guys!
Right-o - I want HAPPY kids, or at least, not about to bust into tears - do you see that boy's face? I bet the unconscious/dead dwarf is his daddy. Sheesh - lighten the poor kid's mood! Here's my offer - If the kids get happier (and girl dwarf gets a hammer or axe doll), I'll up my pledge again. :)
Creator Jimi Bonogofsky on July 24, 2012
I am usually pretty strong on the side of give the gals some weapons, but I really liked the knitting needles, too. Well, the boy gets a sword and hammer; maybe her other little hand is clutching that axe ^_~
Creator kjgrant on July 24, 2012
Seconding--the little dwarf girl needs her Very First Axe. :D
Creator Face2Palm on July 24, 2012
I cant help saying it.. but has anyone noticed that all three kids are miserable. Turn those frowns upside down, we will make it :)
Creator Face2Palm on July 24, 2012
p.s. love them hope we make it.
Creator Face2Palm on July 24, 2012
Please give the girl a weapon of some kind and not those knitting needles... Equality for the dwarven girls.
Creator Jakob Wittmaier on July 24, 2012
I just posted it again in my fav forum. Good luck :-)
Creator Rick Vinyard on July 24, 2012
I thought dwarven babies were born with beards.
Creator Anne O'Leary on July 24, 2012
I'm absolutely thrilled with this. I included information about this in my blog post early this morning and I've told people about it in comment sections. I found this through a blogger called The Laughing Ferret and I'm glad he put the link up. Just brilliant you guys.
Creator Stonehaven Miniatures on July 24, 2012
@Duncan - I apologize if we have been confusing. They are Extra's not add-ons.
Creator KevinR on July 24, 2012
@Duncan: Update #22 seems crystal clear on this:
"The Blacksmith, Troll (except the $425 painted level), & T-Shirt are not a part of any packages. They are Extras, meaning you have to add them by increasing your pledge for them!"
Creator Magentawolf on July 24, 2012
Baby's First Mace! It just happens to rattle, too.
Creator Duncan on July 24, 2012
Just to clarify though, the "ULTIMATE ADVENTURES PACKAGE - Everything from the $40 level + all of the Add-on Goals. Also includes scenic bases & .pdfs for all your dwarves! (add $10 for international shipping)." Says that it includes add-ons- does that not include the Troll and Blacksmith?
Creator Bradley Zakany on July 24, 2012
The baby looks surly. Just like a dwarf baby should. Cute kids.
Creator eponine72 on July 24, 2012
lol My husband was teasing me, because I keep going on and this project. Time to hit FB again.
Creator Bridget Burke on July 24, 2012
I want nothing more than the little dwarf baby. I just squeed. As if the dwarves themselves weren't cute enough.
Creator Sarah Devier on July 24, 2012
@Ramon if you look at the backer pricing sheet it should clear things up.
Creator Stonehaven Miniatures on July 24, 2012
@Ramon - Update #22 tries to reclarify this.
.
The Blacksmith, Troll (except the $425 painted level), & T-Shirt are not a part of any packages. They are Extras, meaning you have to add them by increasing your pledge for them!
Creator Travis Seitler on July 24, 2012
Wait -- you mean dwarves aren't born with beards?!
In all seriousness, though, this is perfect. :D
Creator Ramon Gomez on July 24, 2012
At this point I no longer can tell what each pledge level includes. What is considered "Add-On Goals" for the purposes of the Ultimate Adventures package? I can't tell if things like the Troll are included in that, or if you have to pay extra on top of that...
This project has become very confusing.
Creator Stonehaven Miniatures on July 24, 2012
@JP - Good wow or bad wow? If it's a bad wow I told Mike his idea stunk. If it's a good wow, it was my idea :D
Creator Jakob Wittmaier on July 24, 2012
Oh what a great idea! I love the tombstone :-) realy hope we can make that!
Creator JP Chapleau on July 24, 2012
Wow... just wow...
Creator Jimi Bonogofsky on July 24, 2012
Oh my gosh. I need dwarf children... I need them. Come on everybody, don't disappoint me! Bump your pledge up a wee bit! :D
Creator Stonehaven Miniatures on July 24, 2012
@Peter - The free one is 1 per backer, our way of saying 'Thank You' for taking a chance on us.
Creator Peter Collins on July 24, 2012
To confirm, is this per backer or per set? I'm in for 2x everything so want to know if I should chip in an extra $4 to guarantee getting the kids for my partner too.
Creator Mauro Rodriguez III on July 24, 2012
SWEET! I hope you blow past this hurdle. that way i get more stuff. don't know if i can keep adding $4 for every new mini. might run out of funds soon. lol
Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on July 24, 2012
I'll up date my pledge to contribute when I get back to my laptop!
Creator Darsc Zacal on July 24, 2012
Oh oh. I think Mike has become addicted to sculpting dwarfs and doesn't want to stop.
;)
