Scale Comparison

Hi Everyone,
As we approach the last few days of the campaign, I've received a few questions relating to the scale of the Leprechauns. The easiest way to answer that question I think is with a picture, so here you go!
The guy on the left is a GW Halfling, and the chap on the right is one of our Goblin variant Leprechauns - the Fanatic wielding a cauldron. Hopefully you can see that they are similar in height, with the Leprechauns being not quite as chubby to reflect their background and team options (Gnomes and Gobbos as well as Flings).
I hope that helps!
Cheers
Greg
Dice and Birds!

Hi Everyone,
I have a couple of things for you today. Firstly, custom block dice and bag. We have added these to the Add-Ons section of the campaign for those of you who like to have thematic dice to go with your models and team, and for those who have pledged at the All-In level, these have been included at no additional cost!
The second thing to mention is progress on the Gnome version of our Leprechaun Team. Bob has been beavering away, and he has completed the first beast - the Wild Goose! This is an initial render and there are a few bits and bobs (if you'll pardon the pun!) to tidy up, but this chap is 90%+ ready. Bob will soon be working on the other beasts, as well as their masters.
If anyone is wondering why the Tricorne Hat, it's a homage to the famous 18th Century regiment of Irish Mercenaries that fought in many campaigns across Europe (mainly with the French against the British!), known as the 'Wild Geese'. He's going to get a Shamrock cockade in his hat to finish off the symbolism, but I thought I'd explain (its not a pirate reference!). The connection between Ireland, Leprechauns and Geese was just too strong to ignore and / or pass up :-)
Thanks to everyone who has pledged, and welcome to those that have recently joined. Only a few days of the Campaign left so let's try and get the Chef unlocked and have a final flurry to our project!
Cheers
Greg
3rd Stretch Goal Unlocked - Master Chef Next!

Hi Everyone,
Yeah! We unlocked the Halfling Coach Stretch Goal last night - everyone please welcome Rowdy Pieface!
We are now very close to unlocking the Master Chef, and just to wet your whistles, here's a peak at what he looks like:
With just a few more pledges we should be able to add this cheeky chappy to our Campaign. Let's see if we can make it happen :-) I'm trying to think of a pun name for this guy - the best I have so far is Gore-don Ramskin, but please, if you have anything better, please do let me know.
Thanks again everyone for your support so far - it is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Greg
2nd Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Good Morning Everyone,
Welcome to our new backers who joined over the weekend (thank you!) - you helped us reach our 2nd stretch goal! The Leprechaun in a tree-branch, waiting to be hurled towards the opposition's TD line. I use this guy in my own Leprechaun (Halfling) team, and he's done sterling work to date. I usually score 1 TD from a Throw Team Mate action per game - just a shame it's only 1! I'm still waiting to score 2 in the same game - one day :-)
The Gnome team variant seems to have been well received, and I hope with my wee fellas now covering most Stunty teams, we can push on and unlock a few more stretch goals. The Coach is only a few pounds away! (see him here, in the 'flesh'). Sculpted by Blood Bowl legend Gary Morley, Rowdy Pieface will whip your Stunties into shape with a hairdryer yell and a well aimed crusty pie :-)
He's also a stickler, with his rule book on hand (hip?) and money for the occasional bribe in his purse. Let's hope we can release him soon :-)
Cheers
Greg
Gnomes are a Go!

Hi Everyone,
We have decided to add a Gnome team variant into the Campaign. Steve Beckett has been beavering away creating the concept art for Leprechaun themed Gnomes, and Bob has begun sculpting the minis!
We have added these guys in as a separate team pledge, as the minis will differ from our regular Leprechauns quite a bit. If you have pledged 'All-In' already, then there's a specially discounted Add-On that you can select if you want to add the specific Gnome character / positional minis into your pledge.
I'll be previewing the sculpts here as Bob completes them! Here's how the team pledge looks. Note there will be 2 different Wolf Hound poses (one with a ball is being worked on) and 2 different Illusionist poses too:
We hope you like them!
Cheers
Greg
