With masters complete we are ready to start production! You will be receiving an email notifying you of any remaining charges coming on your card. These charges will be for any add-ons purchased from the Pledge Manager post-campaign, as well as any taxes, including UK VAT, that need to be collected. Make sure your card on file is still active!
We’ll be locking addresses in the next couple weeks so make sure those are correct as well. After locking those we will charge shipping and fulfillment will begin - we’re on the home stretch now!
Pay Over Time backers - this doesn’t apply to you yet. Hang tight until those final payments go through!
Thank you all for your patience! I'm excited to bring a long-awaited update. Mastering has begun! A set of tests are on their way and once we give final approval production molding and casting will begin. Here's a couple sneak peaks of the process, all under the skilled hands of Andrew Barlow!
Here's the master mold being prepared with the prints
A freshly baked master mold!
The first masters...
We'll send another update when production begins, followed by another when we start shipping. It wont be long now!
A reminder that survey's lock at 10 PM CST on March 10th! Once that is done no additional changes will be possible for submitted surveys. The Combined Shipping coupon for bogwyrm.com will also expire at that time.
Note that this does NOT apply to backers who elected to pay over time. Pay Over Time backers will have their survey sent after the final payment is made, at which point they will have 3 weeks to fill it out as well.
If you fail to submit your survey before that time your rewards will be delayed until Pay Over Time orders begin to ship.
Surveys went out last week (as you probably noticed)! Those will be locked on March 10th so make sure to get those in. Pay Over Time backers will receive these surveys after the final payments are processed and have 3 weeks to complete them at that time as well.
We've also just sent out a coupon code for our web store, bogwyrm.com, which can be used to combine shipping there with your pledge from here! That is also good until March 10th so place any orders with that to keep from paying shipping twice! That was supposed to be distributed as part of the survey itself but I screwed it up - launch and learn!
And finally, because we just can't get enough of this project, we've added a 6th axe warrior sculpt as well! Just like the additional blunderbuss and fireblade sculpts this wont increase the number included in a regiment but will increase sculpt variety within each regiment.
We'll be starting master molds soon so stay tuned!
This campaign has blown us away. We didn't plan any additional stretch goals this time but we're not going to let the these final hours go by without a celebration - so we're adding two more sculpts to our gun lines!
That means there will now be 6 unique, hatless sculpts for both the blunderbusses and and fireblades! This wont increase the number included in a regiment but they already come in sets of 10 so you can collect them all without any extra cost to you. Both new sculpts will be in the "aimed" style so you'll be able to assemble an even more intimidating gun line!
And if you just can't get enough bogwyrm, we'll also be providing all backers with a coupon to use on our web store (https://bogwyrm.com) to combine your shipping with your campaign items! Be sure to check out our existing hand-sculpted miniature lines, as well as limited imports and dungeon synth.
Additionally, updates have been made to the shipping section providing guidance around large orders overseas and taxes. Transparency is our goal, and some of you crazies have placed much larger orders than I ever anticipated!
When is the next campaign you ask? Please, a moment of patience! Backerkit has it's pace and we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. We want to be sure everyone has their orders in hand before asking for any more commitments. But keep your eyes peeled for a backer-exclusive poll to tell us what you want to see next!
And speaking of timelines, backerkit requires we provide 14 days after the campaign closes before sending out surveys in order for people to get their payments in order. You can be sure I'll be sending them out just as soon as possible though, so watch your inbox for those emails. Once out you'll have 3 weeks to make your selections or add to you purchase via the pledge manager. If you elected to Pay Over Time then Backerkit doesn't send you that survey until you've made your final payment.
