C'est Impact, je te mets le message en entier, les vampires étant tout en bas de page
Hey everyone. Many of you know we stepped in to assist Rykar when he had some issues producing the Orc team for his Indiegogo campaign.
We've been working with the sculptor to make some adjustments to the team to get them to have a look to match up with our product lines. I as of an hour ago have a image to show you now of what the final team will look like. This will be the Deluxe version of the team with 23 figurines which will go for $45 in Trollcast (less than $2 per a miniature). We'll also have a non-Deluxe version for $35 in Trollcast with 16 figurines (which will be missing 2 Linemen, 2 Goblins, 1 Thrower, the Star Orc and the Chainsaw Orc)
For those that had seen the previous images of this team from Rykar ... here are the changes that were made to the team:
1- All figures were changed from European scale to Impact! 28mm scale.
2- All Blockers have no shoulder spikes and both feet touching the base. They are larger than all other figures.
3- All Blitzers have at least one shoulder spike, have one foot off the base in a running pose. Larger than the Linemen/Thrower but smaller than the Blockers
4- All Linemen/Throwers have bumpy shoulder pads and are the smallest of the figures
5- Thrower and Chainsaw models were changed to not have rocks under their feet.
6- Changed Orc Blocker #3 into a Troll
7- Changed Orc Blitzer #3 into a Goblin
8- Added base tabs to all the figures except the Troll
I hope that by making these 8 changes that this will be an Orc team you'd like to have.
This was an unexpected expense for Impact! but we wanted to help Rykar out as we worked with him on our Necromicon range. So the plan is to run a KickStarter in April to help us fund the costs of getting the team made. At the same time ... we will be using KickStarter to fund getting the license for two teams from Black Army Productions. We will be converting their Halfling and Deep Ones teams (images below) into Trollcast as well and be moving both to be full 16 players teams + extras (like Halfling sideline figures and a large big guy and a thrower model for the Deep One team).
So I look forward to bring these 3 teams to you in April. And the KickStarter might end up being even larger than these 3 teams. I have almost completed the licensing contract with another company to bring one their fantasy football teams into a 16 player $35 Trollcast version as well. I hope to have news of that contract within the next 2 weeks. If we are successful we'll add this 4th to the KickStarter for April.
I'll update this thread as I get more news about the teams we'll be offering as part of this one big fundraising effort to move some teams from other companies into Trollcast.
Halfling Team (we'll be adding on 2 more Halflings to the team (and sideline support - Bribe counter, 3 Chefs, Owner, 2 Cheerleaders))

Deep Ones Team (we'll be adding on 1 extra Frogmen, 3 extra Octopus Warriors, a Chaos Thrower and an Octopus Big Guy)

If any other companies want to get in on our convert other companies minis to Trollcast KickStarter ... we are offering what I hope is a pretty good licensing deal to do so. The more the merrier! Hopefully I'll be able to announce the 4th team for the KickStarter soon. I was told today that the contract was close to being agreeable to both parties.
