Project Update and More!
almost 5 years ago – Sat, May 29, 2021 at 11:35:41 PM

Hello Everyone,

It's been some time since we last updated you on the project. With June coming up quickly we wanted to get everyone up to speed on the project and where we're at.

Bases

A less exciting, but still important piece to the puzzle is the miniature bases. You'd be surprised, but it actually took us much longer than you'd think to find bases that met our standards. Some of our models come with resin bases already included, but for those that don't, we've added in 25mm, 50mm, and 80mm bases depending on the model.

Production

After months of learning and trial and error, we're finally wrapping up production. Due to some resizes of models like the Breaker of men and the Fortuneteller, production was pushed back just a little. Thankfully it hasn't changed our timeline much at all, and things are coming to a close now.

Our first of two waves of models are set to be sent the first week of June and once they arrive we'll be able to start fulfillment right away. This whole process has been a lot of fun, and we're incredibly excited for everyone to get their hands on these minis!

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos sent between us and Zealot Miniatures as we worked through the production of the models.

Delivery 

Like we said above we're expecting the first wave of models to arrive in our warehouses around mid-June, which will allow the ladder half of the month to be spent shipping the models out to backers.

Like all Kickstarters, we expect some amount of shipping difficulties, but our team will be ready to handle them as they come.

As we start the fulfillment process we'll share more details and specifics.

Monster Stats

Right now all of the text and stats are finished and the last thing to do is complete the PDFs assembly. We have an outstanding graphic artist who's working on that now and we expect to have it complete by Mid June. 

More on this to come!

Model Photos

Here are a handful of Models that have been Assembled and primed.

Everyone can expect several more updates in the month of June as we start fulfillment, hit shipping landmarks, share more photos, and update you on other Counterspell News!

As always if you have any questions feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we hope you all have an amazing weekend- 1985 Games Crew

Candle Priest Renders and More!
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Apr 10, 2021 at 03:30:33 PM

Hey Everyone!

It's been a while since we've last updated you on our progress, so let's just jump right into it.

The Candle Priest

The final sculpt for the Candle priest was just finished and we're so excited to see it cast in resin. Once again Leavon from Spareoomstudio just knocked it out of the park.

First Casts

We're also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Bone Behemoth, Spirit Guide, Werewolf Variant, Curious, and Mistress of Brutality's first casts. They're on their way from Zealot Miniatures in the UK and should be arriving quickly. Once they touch down you can expect another update showing them off.

Production

At the moment we're in full production for the Vampire Lord, Werewolf, and Gargoyle. Then with the approval of the soon to arrive first casts, we should be able to start production of over half of the models.

All and all things are moving along as expect and we'll show off everything we can to keep you all updated along the way.

Thank you all once again and we'll talk to you all soon- 1985 Games Team

Hey Everyone!

Just another quick update to show off the second Werewolf we unlocked after the Kickstarter ended.

This was sculpted by the talented Daniel Fernandez, who also sculpted our original werewolf design.

Cheers- 1985 Games Team

New Kickstarter!

Hey Everyone,

We are so thankful for your support of Counterspell and our other projects. With this campaign coming to a close soon we’re proud to announce our newest Kickstarter, Dungeon Notes!

 Dungeon Notes

Dungeon Notes is a brand new system for DMs and Players alike to keep track of their characters and the world around them. Both our journals and sticky notes are designed to enhance your game by making an easy-to-understand system for note-taking, world-building and so much more.

Dungeon Notes were created for D&D fifth edition and have been tested in our home games for months. We wanted to ensure that they fit all the needs of a 5E player, and we’re very happy with the results.

If you’re a fan of D&D and you want to take your game to the next level. Think about backing the Kickstarter.
