About
Pelegian Sapper - Sci-fi rat trooper
£869
42
This campaign is primarily so that we can get Jhorka the Sapper made as an extension to the already existing Space Critter range. As always though there is some scope to expand to create more than just the one Pelegian character to use in your already existing forces, or to start a completely new force with an opportunity to create more Space Critters... We're looking at you Beaverian Brute!
So... what are the Models and concepts for this mini Kickstarter?
Jhorka
The Sapper and the core miniature to the set. Once we reach the target he will become available for everyone that has selected the tier for him. The miniature will be cast in Polyurethane resin and white metal which will all be done by Hysterical Games.
As well a the basic pledge being £5 for the Jhorka miniature the £15 tier 2 pledge level now includes both the Torg and Arl Beaverian Brute Miniatures.
As well as this we are running a competition for one lucky backer to win a Heavy Battle Robot from our previous campaign on the success of the campaign.

Other future stretch goal possibilities
Other stretch goals will become available once we have exhausted these ones. Potentials include (but are not limited to) a Pelegian biker, Rabbit shock troop, armadillo heavy trooper and Support Mech.
THE HAIL MARY - ADD-ON
CORYDON - Light Support Ship - Unlocked at £10,000
Yes, this is a far stretch, but we have our ideas of what we want to release and we want to make the Corydon a reality. The Corydon is a light transport vehicle for transporting a small squad of miniatures on covert operations. If we make it this far the ship will be available as an add-on. The Corydon will be available as an Add-on for £45 during this campaign, when we reach the goal.
For every new miniature that is unlocked it will add an extra two weeks turn around time to the delivery date due to sculpting, shipping to the caster, casting, re-shipping back to us and then sorting and packing our end. We will endeavour to get everything sent out as soon as everything is done and update you as often as possible.
Add-ons
Pugwanian trooper upgrades
That's right, more pugs.The heads, tails, weapons and backpacks for the Pugwanian troopers are available as an Add-on or as a set with our Dweorg Trooper bodies to give a full 4 man set. The upgrade set will be an additional £5 and the full set will be £15 for the duration of this campaign.
The image above is a photoshop composite to illustrate what will be included with the Pugwanian Trooper Full Set (as pictured) and the upgrade set (minus the bodies). There will also be 4x Pugwanian Tails to add to your troopers in both the full set and the upgrade set.
Torg and Arl - Beaverian Brutes
The Beaverian Brutes are a heavy hitting force on any battle field equipped with assault and heavy weapons. The pair come together at an extra £7 per set for the duration of the campaign.
The HBR
Postage and Packaging
You may have already noticed that there is no P&P displayed on the pledges. This is because we will not be taking the cost of delivery for your pledges until we send out the fulfillments after a successful campaign. Why are we doing it this way instead of taking the money upfront? In short, so we only charge you for the cost of shipping your rewards, wherever you are in the world. Once we have your parcel packaged up we will send you an invoice for the postage and packaging. Please bear in mind that your pledge rewards will not be shipped until the invoice has been paid in full. If you have any further questions regarding this then please leave a message in the comments section.

Risks and challenges
Risks and challenges
As with any project there are always chances of things happening to hold back the progress. Our completion date is set to try and give a worst case scenario deadline. Below is a list of things that can be effected by setbacks for the miniature production.
1 – Receiving pledge payments
Once we’ve received all pledge payments we can start to move forward with some of the miniatures that have already been sculpted which includes master mould making and casting.
2 – Sculpting
As the core set is already sculpted it shouldn't be too much of a problem if we achieve that alone, however, depending on how many stretch goals we unlock this could take a bit of time. We don’t want them to be rushed so that we can give our backers high quality miniatures so in the instance that we have a lot of stretch goals we ask you to bear with us.
3 – Mould making and casting
Our Master moulds and casting will be dealt with via Hysterical Games who have years of experience in producing high quality products. However, there is always the chance of delays. We will keep you updated during the process and let you all know in the event of the project hitting any snags. This part of the process is completely out of our control so if the casters have a lot of work on there may be some delays.
4 – Sorting
Once all the models have been cast up and returned we will start the process of sorting and bagging up the miniatures so that we can start the fulfilment process
5 – Fulfilment
This is the part where you guys can get excited as this means your rewards are going to be on their way to you soon. This can take some time so bear with us during this time.
These are the 5 main stages we anticipate that will hold back the completion of the project. Obviously none of these are things that we can predict, but we will keep all our backers advised of the progress as we go along should any problems arise.
