New pledge option for Freebooter's Fate Indiegogo campaign

    
     
Do not trust these men... they're after all of your money!!!

For those of you of a weak disposition, and an inability to resist buying toy soldiers you should look away now...

Yep, Freebooter Miniatures have gone and added a starter faction bundle thingy option to their Indiegogo campaign.You all asked me to ask them for it, so I did, and they've only gone and bloody done it!!! The cads the bounders, they're like real life pirates wanting to fleece you of all your cash. All joking aside the new Codex level perk actually represents really good value for money, it involves a starter set a, the rulebook, a deck of Freebooter's Fate cards and you'll also get a selection of one the Legendary pirates from the deckhand level. It is probably also worth pointing out that you can now pledge at Captain level and at the new Codex level and not receive any figure twice, because the Goblin captain and the mercenary are not part of the Captain pledge... as I said, they're after all of your money!!!

Jennifer Haley's stunningly well painted Raven... I'm not jealous... much!

I think it's a wise move for them, because otherwise the Indiegogo campaign is just for some spiffing looking miniatures. Now it's for some spiffing looking miniatures and a pretty decent entry point into the game, with all those sweet looking miniatures. Win!!! So at least now if you haven't gotten into Freebooter's Fate yet you now have a way in and it's part of a crowd-funding campaign that should nab you extra bits for those Legendary Characters. However, if you are pledging for the Goblin Pirate faction you'll have to add an extra $10's because that starter set actually has six miniatures in it as opposed to the usual four, so obviously it costs a little bit more than the others. If you've already made a pledge that overlaps somewhat with the Codex pledge or whatever you can contact the chaps at Freebooter Miniatures at the email address below:

Crowdfunding@freebooterminiatures.de

Or you can simply pledge the difference without claiming a perk and let them know in the comments field what you would like to upgrade to. Did I also mention that this is one crowd funding campaign that has FREE shipping worldwide? Well it does. That my fellow hobbyists completes what shall forever be known as update Wednesday. I'm off to bed to get some beauty sleep. Peace out!

  1. I say again: You evil evil man!!

    This kickstarter poses a problem for me. When it first started, it was all right. I'd just get the captain perk and be done with it. But then came the extra head options, long range options and, unless disaster strikes, extra close combat option. That commodore perk is starting to look mighty friendly..

    Same thing with the codex perk. I already own one starter, but still need both rulebooks and both card decks. So much gaming goodness!!

    Must.. Resist.. Temptation..

    1. Yes OK I'm evil. But at the end of he day aren't we all?

      Hang on somebody is handing me a memo... hmmm... Ok!!!

      Turns out we're not all foul evil temptresses and it's only me. Well I never.

    2. That's why I had ordered a Commodore Perk additional to my Captain and two Deckhands (Goblin Captain, Mercenario-Captain).

      But if you need both books: The Codex Perk will only give one of the books to you!

    3. You're absolutely right Martin, but it's still better than nothing surely? I hope you can actually buy them as individual mini's I really do, you know as part of your pledge, otherwise it's a missed chance for an add-on sale.

  2. Limited cash and all that... I'm torn between this and the Shadow Sea Kickstarter... The GF is partial to Endless Fantasy so I have no voice on that matter and if I get a single starter she will look me with her big eyes and ask me: where is mine?

    1. You see!!! Now I have that problem too. They look at you with their big doe eyes and make you feel like you've just cheated on them, or told them that yes indeed their bum does look big in that. I know your pain buddy.

      I'm not going to be backing the Shadow Sea Kickstarter, but boy oh boy is this one and Endless Fantasy Tactics tugging on the old heart strings. I know I'll pledge for this one, and if I can Endless. But I feel like I'm constantly pledging for stuff that's months and months away!!!

  3. I am so (un?)lucky this is at the wrong time for me...I wish I could though great company and loving all the imagery and finally read the quick start rules!

    Another day...

    2. Yeah the voodoo stylings of Calamitè Balfour are very cool indeed. Makes me wander what the rest of the faction will look like... no... stop it!!! I do not need another crew, repeat after me. I do not need another crew, I do not need another crew, I do not need another crew, I don't need another crew, I do need another crew, I do nee... wait... what now? How the hell did that happen?
