I see what you mean those (Orc26 and others) pointing out the numbers dropping slightly. It stands at $3,704,999 now (edit: 3,704,699 as of 7:52pm Central). They've got more than enough to complete the project though, barring a major economic Depression in the funding countries (and I'm no Wizard), that fact won't change.


Surely that can't be to scale. Those cards would be tiny!

The below image might be a little closer to reality... note the "red" figure I placed next to a card example in the digital "actual product may vary" pic. Using the 1x1 inch square gridlines as a guide, it looks like they may be the same size as the originals! Of course could be off by a mm or so since there's some guesswork there eyeballing it. For reference, US Game card size is just 1 mm shorter than the NA cards. Official confirmation would be nice!

On the image they're looking like 4 squares by 3 squares. That's quite big!

i thought they mentioned in the q&a that they were standard sized and "sleevable". to me that suggests standard 63x88mm card sleeves. Americans are weird tho when it comes to games.

63x88 mm agrees with what I see in the representative photo. By the way, the image appears as if it was assembled in a Photoshop program. The scale may be off a bit from the upcoming product.

It's all a "digital concept", I'm sure there wasn't much effort put in making it exactly to scale. It's close enough to give a representation of what the product "may" look like.

If the pulse page is correct, then they just started production today. I would expect to see something closer to a finished product once they have some samples made.

Was just now realizing that the 4 body points Treasure depicted there is the EU wording... the NA type is the roll 1 red die for healing (1-6). Interesting. And the Monster card is missing the scroll label, for now.

Was there ever any Fimir minis aside from the heroquest and forgeworld ones? I don't remember ever seeing any other official ones

Kurgan, I used that Chaos warrior head when creating my Dark Company warriors. They turned out pretty decent!
