Since it seems that the exclusives have been finished I was wondering if the Spartans have been shipped out yet.

I hope that my last post didn't sound rude. I have wanted to play with Spartans since I started Wargods.

The archer captains from Todd are starting to arrive! First up is the Corinthian Captain, seen below. He's working now on the Spartan and Mycenaean Captains, which we should be seeing soon. I'll be doing the Captain for the Athenians, but he's a bit further down the list...

Amazing sculpts as always
![]() I was hoping though for a bit of a schedule of what figures will be available in the near future and when, both to KS/Paypal donators and others who are simply wowed by the tempting sculpts and wondering when they can buy them? I should point out I am not particularly interested in playing the WarGods games, although I am sure it will be amazing, I am just after figures to spice up my Ancient Greek wargaming army.

![]() armchair said:Sorry for the delay on your answer, these minis are part of our Kickstarter program - we've been showing them off here as we get them all completed. They won't be available through retail until after book gets printed (estimated late summer). Sorry for any confusion, there is a lot of information about all this, but it is scattered throughout the Kickstarter program page, and because the program funding period is over we can't update the main page. We're actually prepping for the second wave of fulfillment now (the Trojans), and the Demigods have already shipped. If you are wanting to join the program, you can through the Paypal pledging system - it is still open, and will be until we start casting the Trojan orders (which will be very soon.) If you have other questions, please email Debs at sales@crocodilegames.com and she'll try to help. --Fitz

Thanks for the reply.
It is a shame all these figures are tied in with the rule book. As I mentioned above I wanted them for my Ancient Greek army for gaming Hail Caesar
I have already donated a sum via paypal in the hope of receiving a unit of 12 Amazon peltasts. It sounds like it will be 6 months before I receive them

OK, here's an in-progress shot of some of the Amazon Peltasts and an Archer.
The Archer is completed, and the Peltasts are nearly there - they just need their correct shield arms (I stuck one of the warrior shields on the center model, but the finished models will all come with shield/javelin arms just like the Peltast captain posted a couple weeks back. These arms are all already complete, but they are at the moldmaker, and so not available for the photo!)
So where are we with the Amazons? Let's do a quick run-down: Completed: Warriors with spear & shield (all completed), Peltast Captain, Peltasts (2 of 3 poses completed), Archers (1 of 3 poses completed), Hero, 1 Honor Guard, Casualty, Armor Rack, Sword Sprue Still to go: Amazon Champion, 1 remaining Peltast pose (in progress), 2 Archers, 1 Archer Captain (in progress), Penthesilea (in progress), Herald & Musician, 1 Honor Guard conversion If everything goes well I should have all of the Peltasts and Archers wrapped up this weekend.

All of their quivers are a separate piece that contains a quiver & sword. I may do another variant that has some grisly trophies as well, like scalps or a severed head.
As for the Trojan production, we're working on the details today, and should be posting an overall Update on the kickstarter page in the next 24 hours - production is almost ready to begin!

We've been focusing on the minis in the Kickstarter updates, as those were promised first, but once we deliver the Trojans and the Amazons we'll have lots of updates on book progress. (We'd just get a lot of grouchy backers if we were posting book stuff and the minis were still unfinished -- so first things first!) ![]()

Lol if you think you have grouchy backers you should check out another kickstarter I backed. Keep up the good work.

If I need to change the address that my models are shipped to who should I contact?
|

![]()
Hahaha, Greg is right!
The Kickstarter we backed ended 30 days before this one and had Dec 2013 delivery dates. Croc has already started shipping some of their Kickstarter Gear, while the other Kickstarter does not even have a light at the end of the tunnel. They can't seem to get their most iconic miniature, the Valkyrie, done properly. 5 months after they were supposed to have shipped the game and they are still going back and forth with the mini manufacturer about the designs... we'll be getting that game in 2015!

![]() Akori said:I chose not to back that one because I thought they were being overly optimistic in their delivery dates...mind you, I also expected the Croc one to run behind due to being quite successful (and putting more work on Osiris's desk). But then I also add 6 months to the estimated delivery date of any gaming related Kickstarter now as all the ones I've backed have been late.
So far Croc is a bit late with the Trojans and Amazons, but we still have 3 months before they're late with the rulebook That said, I know that they'll deliver and they have been keeping us reasonably well updated

Just got the email update to confirm my address in preparation for the shipment of the Trojans! Awesome!
![]() For the record, I participated in two other kickstarters that started before this one, and to date I have yet to see anything from them. As far as I am concerned, it is all good, cause the Sons of Troy will be here soon! Thanks for Chris and Debs for all your hard work.

Going through them now. A lot to absorb. Helen is brilliant, concept art brought to life. I have no idea how I'm going to do the model justice, but it's going to be fun trying. The demigods rock. Hephaestus' pics appeared big and strong but in person he's even more powerful looking than I expected. Demigod of Poseidon is ace. Aeneas (though I will be using him as Hektor - no surprise there!) is probably my favorite of the lot. Fantastic.
One happy camper here.

Mighty Ares has received his Trojans. Mighty Ares will build and paint these warriors with as much excitement as when he is at war, killing and slaughtering. Mighty Ares has spoken!

I have had one Kickstarter that actually shipped ahead of time (one month before the target), all others have been delayed, many by more than six months. As long as the communication is OK, I do not mind it.
All that being said, since I am receiving Corithians, Amazons and almost anything non-aligned, I am not expecting anything before the turn of this year. Knowing Fitz's quality, I will rahter wait a few weeks or months longer then miss said quality!

I envy you guys who have already got their parcels a bit ;-) I have to wait until the Amazones and even the Automatons are done.
Maybe you can show round a few pictures of your first painted samples or so, please.... cheers Thomas

Arrival of the Trojans took me by surprise and I have to finish what is on the painting table right now first. As soon as they are done, the Trojans go up next. Though I daresay my paint scheme won't stray too far from what Debs did. I like it pretty much exactly as is. Not really sure how I am going to approach the Demigods yet. Going to try to tie them into the Trojan paint scheme if I can.

Received my Trojans and they are just amazing the extra sculpts well the photos don't do them any justice, and neither can I adequately describe how wonderful the sculpting is.

I didn't purchase any of the Trojan units but I can't wait to get my Amazons and wait patiently for the accolades to pour in from everyone who hasn't already played this outstanding Wargods game system! You have my full support and admiration Fitz!

Hi all,
I received my Trojans this week. It is hard to comment on the figures without saying something that hasn't been said before, or is known to the visitors of this forum anyway. Besides Fitz's magnificent scupting, it may be mentioned that the casting and material used is also of the finest quality. Since I'm not gaming but collecting the figures, questions like the number of different poses, alternative weapon arms etc. matter much to me. Thus, I thought I'll give a short review of the Trojan warband for those who are still waiting for their stuff. Aeneas & Honor Guards (2): Aeneas is bigger than the "normal" Trojans. Being a son of Aphrodite, is he technically a "Demigod of Aphrodite"? The crest of his helmet is sculpted like a stylized horse head, a nice detail adding to the faction identity flair. The (two different) honor guards are armed with swords and shield. While their shields have a different shape, their star decoration nicely matches that of Aeneas' shield. Captain (& Casualty): The Captain has a separate weapon hand sprue, with choice of spear, javelin and sword. Shield with a horse motif, but different from spearman unit. Hero (& Armor Rack): Separate weapon arm sprue with spear or sword to chose from. Again a different shield with horse motif. Archer unit: A Captain and 11 archers in 3 different poses. Peltast unit: A Captain and 11 peltasts in 3 different poses. Shield hands separate, with two different types (one or two spare javelins in hand). Spearman unit: A musician with trumpet and bare head, a standard bearer with dagger and vexillum type standard, the pole ending in a horse head (another nice detail). The ranks come in three types, hind rank with upright spears (2 poses, 4 total), mid rank with slightly inclined spears (also 2 poses 4 total), and front rank with separate spear arms (2 different per sprue). What surprised me was the fact that the 4 front rank spearmen come in 4 different poses!!! Some of the differences are subtle, so it took me a moment to realize it. For all units, I found that the numbers of figures for the different poses are as close to being equal as possible (e.g. 4:4:3 for archers and peltasts). This could be good luck, but I actually suspect this to be the result of considerate packing (thank you, Debs!). Overall, I'm more than pleased with the delivery. I just hope you'll keep that high standard with the other factions. Best wishes, Frank

Good reveiw sir! I have no doubt the rest of the factions will be up to the high standard Chris & Deb have set for Wargods. : )

Awesome work on the Automatons, sir. Always nice to see progress on this project.
I thought of something earlier that I was curious about. With the side work you were putting into the generic/mercenary hoplites are there any plans for generic leaders for the missile troops somewhere down the line? It seems that those would be useful not only for the generic city states but also for those wanting diversity in their main faction armies. Keep up the good work guys. I am loving everything coming out of this kickstarter process.

Lovely! Really glad I have them in my pledge / add-on!
One question (since I have a all at once delivery with items that are supposed to be done last)… how are you doing schedule wise? I assume you are not on schedule anymore (no problems with that, I rather want the usual quality than something fast), but it would be good to know how much.

Since Todd Harris has delivered on the captains of the Spartans and Mycenaeans (and multiple other models) - How is he going with the Corinthians? He was supposedly starting them at the end of the kickstarter (according to update 10) so i'm a little curious.
--------------- |
|
![]()
Actually I have another question!
I was reviewing the kickstarter is live thread and stumbled on Chris talking about Mycenaean Peltasts not being available til after the kickstarter fulfillment is over.. Does the introduction of the Mycenaean peltast captain mean we might get them earlier (since they were conversions of trojans and not as i thought the universal ones) I am curious as i put them down as part of the survey (since they were on the pledge manager). If not will my stuff not ship until after the fulfillment is done?? And before its suggested I can't afford to split as i am in the wonderful land of OZ

Although I have read many posts on this forum and been through the website it is still not clear what the entirety is of what you have planned/what's coming. Putting everything coming on the online store is just a good way to organise everything for ease of perusal so that we can keep checking back to see things gradually become available. This is especially the case for a casual visitors who would visit the online store rather than trawl through the forum. You could hook them with some pictures of your amazing and tempting sculpts so they would keep coming back to see when you could buy them. A good example are the Amazons. They always seem to be popular with wargamers but there isn't a decent range out there really. Just think you are missing a trick.

OK, here's the latest from the sculpting desk...
I'm still working on the last of the Amazons and the Automaton Bull, but we've run into a bit of a log-jam. The sculpting has currently gotten ahead of the moldmaking, which means I'm still waiting on the greens to come back to complete the Amazon Herald and Musician. But I can't stop the train on their account, so I just started the Atheneans a few weeks early! (Don't be alarmed at this, I usually have about 6 models on the sculpting table at any one time... you have to let the putty cure every so often or you'll mess up the work that you've done! The answer to this is to work on several sculpts at once, and each bit cure as you work on the next model in the line.) Anyhow... Atheneans! Here are the first 2 complete models, and armature for a third. The 1/2 completed green will be molded as-is, like I did with the Amazon Archers and Peltasts, so I have a bunch of bodies to work from to complete all 4 of the Front-Rank models and the Captain. These are shown with the Athena shield, the finished models will have several other shields (depending on their Battle Honors), but all of the same basic shape as the one shown here.
Hope you guys like them!

I'll try and see what I can scrounge up to show off for you guys tomorrow. At the very least, we should be able to assemble the Amazon Archer & Peltast units and get them to pause for a photograph!

--------------- |

I believe that the process for casting is:
So in this case Chris is cleaning the masters so that the production casts are as clean as possible (i.e. he's at step 4 in the above process) I would assume that the green is only used the once, then the master metal is used multiple times My guess would be that this would happen each time a new master cast needs to be created, which probably depends on how often it's needed to create new moulds...

![]() Oceanborn said:The above is precisely correct! Very good, sir! ![]() Cleaning the masters is essential to do correctly - if they are sent to the moldmaker with imperfections like mold lines, metal gate vents, etc, these will be on all of the production figures. So, we clean each and ever one as perfectly as possible, so you don't have to.
If there are a lot of greens involved, it can be a long process - especially if something goes wrong. In this latest batch, I erred on the thickness of the archer's bows, and so I've had to go in and thicken each and every bow on the masters. Each mold has about 12 minis in it, and there are 5 archers, so I had to rework 60 miniatures... doh! The good news is that all of the greens in the photo below (and a few more) are now mastered, cleaned, and the masters were sent back to our moldmaker on Monday to have their production molds made. I'm now back at the sculpting table, working on the last few bits for the Amazons (herald and musician, expect pics in about a week or so!)

Thanks for confirming Chris - I think I may have forgotten a step, and that is if you're planning to have multiples of the same figure in a mould then you have multiple metal masters to clean up.

Ok, here's the latest mechanical menace from Hephaestus' forge... the Bronze Bull!
I am still wrapping up the sculpting, and may add a few more rivets, and still have to cut him apart. He'll end up being at least 4 pieces - 2 body halves, head/horns, and tail. I may also change the horns to make it easier to cast (horns going to the side, rather than sloping forward.) We shall see...
Hope you guys like him, he was a lot more complicated than I had anticipated, I should have known better with multi-part models.

OK, time to show off another round of sculpts, these wrap up them Amazons.
First up are the Amazon command figures, the Herald and Musician. The Herald carries a standard that suggests the changing phases of them moon, as well as the tripart aspect of the goddess Hecate. The Musician carries a lyre, based on an actual ancient greek design - made from the shell of a tortoise, and the arms of the harp are made from the horns of a bull. I thought the use of natural elements appropriate to the Amazons!
Next is the Amazon queen, Penthesilea. Penny was a real struggle to sculpt, I ended up starting and restarting the model several times, before I got a pose I was happy with. She's one of those miniatures that is very difficult to photograph because she does not lie on a flat 2d plane... I tried to get a coupe different angles to show, but I should probably have taken a couple more. Her axe arm comes off at the shoulder, and her shield arm comes off at the elbow. I included another pic of Des' excellent concept design too...
These are the last of the Amazons in their first wave, and they are at our moldmaker now! Fingers crossed that the molds come out OK, if so we should have production molds in our hands very soon!

The Amazon production has begun. We are still waiting for the last set of molds to be finished, figures that had some problems and needed to be reworked (Penthesilea and a couple characters) but we've already started casting the warriors, peltasts and archers, and these are about 75% complete. So, likely a couple more weeks of production, and then packing and shipping.
I'll post another update with some pics this week, we can reveal off some bits we've not shown yet (shields, metal Automatons, etc).

OK, as requested, here are some images of the Automaton variations - now in metal! Sorry for the delay on these, we've had our hands full with Amazon production the last week.
First up is the Automation Hoplite Captain. This is basically a separate arm/head sprue, this one with a sculpted human 'mask' helmet and a sword. If you order the Automaton set, you'll get the parts to make either option.
Next up is the Bronze Minotaur, he comes with a hand/weapon sprue with 2 options: either an pole-axe or a hooked spear. Put him together with the one you like best!
Last is a picture with the whole line-up, to show their size in comparison to one another. The Minoton is on a 40x40mm base, the Bull is on a 25x50mm base, the Dog and Hoplite are both on 25x25mm bases, and the Owl is shown on a 20x20mm base (although he does not come with a base, I just mounted him on one to photograph. The idea with him is that he can be glued on a model's arm or shoulder, as a pet.)

Fitz,
Outstanding job thus far on the Kickstarter. I can't wait to receive mine on the near future... Is there anyway to review the exact contents of my Kickstarter pledge order? I reviewed all of the reply e-mails I received as confirmation of my pledge last year but can't seem to find the exact particulars of all the add-onsI ordered with the "By The Gods!" Level reward other than the final amount pledged/paid; $492.00. Is there a way I can review my order to see what I should have coming? Thanks again for the wonderful gaming experience and Long Live the Croc! Respectfully, Kevin

Assuming you pledged through kickstarter itself, if you log in and look at the rewards, on the reward you selected you should see a link allowing you to view your responses to the kickstarter survey. (It is definitely there on the desktop site, not sure about on the mobile site)

I corrected the e-mail issue and send you a message from the Kickstarter site summarizing my issues. Hopefully you received it by now.

Ok, time for another sculpting update... progress has been a bit slower than hoped, as I've been helping with packing orders and last-minute-casting, but I have managed to finish off all of the Athenian hoplites. Woohoo!
Still a few to go, including Theseus, his guards, the Hero, and the archer and peltast captains. I'm also working on a bunch of new shields for them too... one with a ship (for the Companions of Theseus), one with a Trident (for the Poseidon's Faithful) and one a laurel wreath (for the Chosen of Nike).
The Captain is about 95% complete, I still need to do a sword arm, which will be a separate piece and interchangeable with the spear arm. He has a scroll, educated in the Athenian Academies, of course. I may add a few more details and decorations to his armor, grieves, etc. He'll get his own shield as well.
Here are the other 2 Middle/Rear rank Athenians. I tried to make the Athenians a mix of young and old men, to suggest their citizen army... men of all walks of life put on their armor in times of war.

You know what would be cool? A summarized list (in a different thread that is not 30 pages long) of what has been completed and shipped, and what is still to be sculpted, and then an ongoing status update on that list, It has got to be getting close to the end, but without weeding thru multiple pages of this thread I have no real idea. And of course an update on the rulebook , well over a year behind schedule and no word if it is even being looked at yet, would be nice.
I keep trying to pull my friends that play Warhammer into this great game, and I continue to get the same excuse. They will consider it when the Olympus book comes out. I have no idea when to tell them that will be. With Warhammer going "thru the change..." this summer will be a great time to introduce a new game to people who are rage quitting that game.

Hey guys
Trojan PDF update is up, Kickstarter backers can get the download link on the Update page: I'm working on the next batch of Athenians (Theseus and his guards), but they are in the 'not pretty' state at the moment. I'll put up some images once I get them reasonably presentable. We're going to be having more updates relating to the book in the coming weeks, there will be lots to show off as it comes together. The idea for a compiled progress thread is a good one... this thread was meant to be for sculpting updates, but it has turned into a catch-all kickstarter thread, and it has gotten pretty unmanagable. (That's not a complaint, just an observation.) I'll see what we can put together this weekend, so we can more clearly show where we are.

![]()
Thanks for releasing the Trojan warband rules. I do have a couple of quick questions. Does the Apollonian Guard count as hoplites or missile troops as far as percentages go? I don't really have an argument either way as I have not had a chance to play with them and probably won't be able to for a while but either choice is likely to have consequences on army selection and performance on the table.
Also with the Apollonian Guard, seeing as they cannot take the phalanx formation can the spears of the second rank be used in combat when/if the Apollonian Guard charges or are they considered to have hand weapons instead of spears, not able to use that equipment, or something else along those lines? I know when they are charged they revert to hand weapons but when it is the other way around the wording could open up issues if not spelled out. Sorry if these questions seem too nitpicky but one of the things I love about Wargods is the clarity of the rules and the ability to talk directly to those that make the game so that questions get answered in an official fashion. Much better than certain games I can think of.

The Hero is not so far along, but I should have a photo ready in a couple days. He just needs his hands and weapons. Also dropped off the latest batch of greens to be molded, so we should have masters of these in the next couple weeks:

Excellent work, Chris! In my opinion, Theseus appears the most noble of the various Olympus City State specific nobility sculpts thus far.
Definitely looking forward to this Athenian release

Is PayPal pledging still open for the Athenians? They are incredible!
