The format is for A4 printing. We have decided to make a US Letter size as well since we have a lot of US backers. We're also considering doing a much more toned down version of the posters, almost black/white. So these 2 additional sheets will become available later on, before pledges are shipped out :)
Survey Deadline
We're close to the survey deadline, and we're still missing a few survey completions. The deadline as mentioned in the last post is Sunday June 23 - Orders will be locked by then and if you haven't filled it out, your pledge will end up being shipped among the last pledges, regardless of your backer number. Remember that we will still need your address before we can ship anything at all though!
Resin Masters & Production
We have JUST received the resin masters we had talked about, but you'll have to wait for the next update to see them ;) - We'll also be doing another Resin Master lottery again so there's even more to look forward to!
Chris Nicholls from Macrocosm has started moulding the production moulds and next week the metal production will start. We'll show production pictures as we're getting them :)
Once the production gets into gear, we'll get a better idea on when shipping will be possible, we're still hoping that our estimate of shipping out orders late July is possible. But as we have mentioned before, the success of the Kickstarter exceeded our expectations, which may end up causing a slight delay.
We'll keep you updated every step of the way and hopefully if a delay occurs, it can be kept to a minimum! We really want all of you to get the miniatures in your hands as fast as possible (Because we think they're damn awesome, especially after seeing the latest resin masters earlier today!)
Remember, if you have any questions or need help with the survey, don't hesitate to write to us. You can contact us on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/DunkeldorfMiniatures ), message us here on Kickstarter or write an e-mail to [email protected]
Until next time! :D

Latest Dunkeldorf News
almost 5 years ago

Hi everybody! Time for a little update on the Dunkeldorf project.
Some Numbers
First of all, 90% of the surveys via Backerkit have been completed. So we're starting to have some "Near-final" numbers for production. And we thought we would share some of these numbers with you.
The top 5 Dunkeldorf Miniatures as chosen by Peasant & Villager backers + Extra Purchases.
We had 25 "Peasant Backers - 1 or more miniatures" and 66 "Villager Backers - 6 or more miniatures". The numbers below are based on what these backers have picked, along with extra purchases from Noble Pledge Backers. These 5 miniatures below are the most picked so far (But we do feel that all the miniatures are fairly spread out!)
45 Herman, Burgomeister
40 Bertha, Ratcatcher
38 Floria, Courtesan
37 Eva, Bailiff
37 Linus, Manservant
Obviously number one is no big surprise for Herman, but he would have preferred the list being a "Top 1" - He doesn't like sharing, after all.
The Prancing Peacock's notorious ogre bouncer Leopold has to receive a special mention. Well over 1/3 of all backers have ordered a copy of the big guy!
Total Numbers
With a total number of 461 backers, plus more through Pre-Orders our rough estimate number of Dunkeldorf Miniatures to be cast (Without Accessories) is over 8000 - EIGHT THOUSAND small miniatures to be cast up, packed and shipped all over the World!
Many of you have probably backed some large Kickstarters with much higher numbers, but for our little dream project, we think that it's quite a lot! And we're so humbled that all of you wanted to be a part of it.
With over 8000 miniatures and each of them being supplied with a 25mm round base, we recently had to go on a shopping spree for bases!
Survey Deadline
We have now set a date for the Survey Deadline Sunday June 23 - Make sure to have filled out the survey in Backerkit before then - And go ahead and write us a Message here on Kickstarter or send us an e-mail at [email protected] if you need any help with the Survey / Pledge Manager.
As we mentioned in the last update, orders will be locked and charged in 3 waves. The second wave to be locked and charged is on Monday June 3 with the final wave being Monday June 24.
Remember that you can continue to change your address in Backerkit even after this date. This will continue to be possible right up until we start shipping the pledges out - And as we are shipping everything ourselves and not through a fulfillment center, we can easily make any last minute changes too.
Eva Competition
A winner has been randomly chosen for the Eva competition and the winner is....drumroll... Backer 162! Paul Vlasta from Austria - Congratulations! And as you have already filled out your survey, we know where to ship this lovely lady off to, so expect her to arrive soon!
Ludmilla von Struttendorf
Nana recently finished painting Ludmilla von Struttendorf. With Ludmilla painted, the only character Nana currently has left on her painting table is Wilhelm von Struttendorf. After that we'll have to wait for the new masters to be cast up before more stuff can be painted.
Preparation & Production
As we mentioned in the last update, we ran into some issues with a package containing our precious "greens". But fortunately everything worked out and it has just arrived in England and is now safely in the hands of our casters!
With all the Miniatures & Accessories delivered, the production can now get into gear. Christopher Taylor from Shed Games will start making master copies of the miniatures and accessories along with casting all the resin Add-ons.
Once the master copies are ready, Chris Nicholls from Macrocosm will make the production moulds and get to casting the miniatures! We'll of course keep you posted on the production and shipping progress all the way to the very end. Currently it's a bit too early for us to say if we can keep our estimated delivery date, the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter did go well over our expectations and we have a lot of stuff that needs to be cast up - But rest assure that we'll keep you 100% informed all the way till the end and handle any questions, requests or concerns!
Unlike Herman, we're aware that some bags will need a few more bases than 17 - And we of course also have all the Villagers and Peasants covered!
That's it for this update. The posters were not included in this update as they're not completely ready yet. They'll become available as a PDF for everyone to download as soon as they're finalized.
Have a lovely week everybody
- Nana & Nicki
PS. We hope to have a few more resin masters to give out in the foreseeable future ;)
A bit of info and "Win a date with Eva Eilhart!"
almost 5 years ago
– Wed, May 15, 2019 at 12:15:58 PM
Hi folks! Time for another update with a bit of information on different subjects! (Scroll down to the bottom if you want the chance to win an exclusive resin copy of Eva Eilhart)
The Pledge Manager
Things are going swell with the Pledge Manager. Addresses are being given to us and add-ons are being purchased, it's awesome! So far 85% of the surveys have been answered. The Pledge Manager will be up until at least the 10th of June. Final date coming in the next update.
A few people have been asking questions about when their cards are charged. And the reason we haven't really talked about this before, is because we thought that Backerkit would automatically charge the cards straight away (Which is the case with Paypal).
We decided to charge the cards in waves, and did the first charge the other day. The next charge will be Monday the 3rd June and then a final charge the day after the Pledge Manager closes.
Once the Pledge Manager closes, you'll still be able to update your addresses for a while longer - We're keeping this open for as long as possible for any late changes for people who have moved and such. As we're doing the packaging ourselves, it's easy for us to update these things, so just keep us posted on any changes.
Scandinavian Oldhammer Day, Copenhagen
We had sponsored a few miniatures of Herman, Bertha & Günther, for the Oldhammer event that was recently held in Rogue Trader, Copenhagen. Sonny painted up Herman to be used as an objective in a Mordheim scenario being played on the day. And we thought we wanted to show him along with some of the stuff that was given away!
But we wouldn't want to tease you with all these give-aways, without giving our awesome backers a chance to win something as well! So further down in the update, you can read how you have a chance to win something too!
The Production
The production of the miniatures hasn't started yet - But Chris Nicholls from Macrocosm (Our Metal guy!) and Christopher Taylor from Shed Games (Our Resin guy!) are almost ready to give their full attention to producing your Dunkeldorf miniatures, accessories and terrain! Unfortunately we have run into an issue with one of the packages being shipped from Denmark to UK, and it's being returned to us - We've been on the phone with the postal service and other than a delay with the package being delivered, everything appears to be in order!
The Community Posters
Mustafa finished the designs for the Community Posters a while back. But we haven't made them into actual posters yet. We'll be focusing on getting all of the 24 posters ready soon and put them up for you to download! Even though they're not completely ready yet, we thought we would show the designs to you anyway :D
Eva Eilhart - Exclusive Resin Copy
We're having a little competition for the Nobility (Only Noble Pledge backers, no peasants or villagers allowed. Sorry, Herman's orders!) - Giving them a chance to win an Exclusive Resin Copy of Eva Eilhart as seen below - We'll ship it to the winner, right after the competition has ended.
In the next update we'll show a painted version of Ludmilla, the final posters, reveal the winner of the Eva competition, and update you on anything else happening with the project!
Late Pledges & The Pledge Manager
about 5 years ago
– Thu, May 02, 2019 at 12:38:40 PM
We're finally open for Late Pledges! And the Pledge Manager is up as well so surveys will start being sent out today! Find the Pre-Order Store here
In this update you can find some information about The Pre-Order Store (For Late Pledges) and the Pledge Manager (For Backer Surveys)
The Noble Pledge
The large Dunkeldorf Pledge called the Noble Pledge consists of the following
You save more than 50% on this bundle compared to the upcoming retail price!
The Miniatures included in the Noble Pledge
The Accessories included in the Noble Pledge (Weapons not shown)
The Dunkeldorf Pets included in the Noble Pledge
Pre-Order Store (Late Pledges)
If you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can still get on board the Dunkeldorf train via the Pre-Order store, which you can find right here: Dunkeldorf Pre-Order Store
We have added a few points that you should be aware of (Just ignore this if you're a backer and continue to "The Pledge Manager" further down)
The Villager Pledge is not available in the Pre-Order store, the only Pledge available is the Noble Pledge
You can purchase single miniatures or whatever you wish, even without choosing the Noble Pledge.
Everything not marked as "Add-on" is included in The Noble Pledge bundle - So you're getting all Stretch Goals from the Kickstarter campaign. If you're in doubt, just click on a miniature or accessory and you can see in the bottom of the description if it's included!
Late Pledges will be shipped after all the regular pledges from the Kickstarter have been shipped. If the production runs smoothly and we've not fallen behind, they'll be shipped together with the regular pledges!
Shipping
Shipping for the Late Pledges is set at a flat shipping rate at 75 DKK to Europe & Rest of the World and 50 DKK to Denmark. Shipping is the same no matter how much or little you purchase - So if you're only interested in a single miniature or two, we suggest that you wait until we sell them in our webshop later this year, where you can get cheaper shipping for few items. Remember that all the products will be priced higher at retail though!

The Pledge Manager
Surveys are being sent out today - The first batch of e-mails are a so-called "Smoke test", these will be sent out to 5% of the backers to see if everything works as intended. Once we know that these are fine, the remaining 95% will be sent out!
Upgrading Pledges
In the Pledge Manager, you can upgrade your pledge, this is done on the very first page. So if you want to upgrade from Peasant to Villager or from Villager to Noble, this can be done here.
Payment & Deadline
You can pay for Shipping and Add-ons with VISA or Paypal. You have at least 30 days to do so, we'll announce when we're getting closer to the deadline and make sure to let you know at least a week before closing.
Shipping & Address Changes
You'll put in your shipping address in the Pledge Manager, but should you need to have your pledge shipped to a different address, just let us know later on and we'll get it sorted out!
Add-ons
In the Pledge Manager you can purchase Add-ons, everything's that not included in the Noble Pledge is marked as (Add-on). But if you wish to buy additional miniatures or accessories, you can go ahead and add these to the basket as well!
A few of the mugs that we are shipping out to 22 lucky Noble Pledge backers later this year!
The Dunkeldorf Weapons
Here's a WIP picture of the Dunkeldorf weapons. As you can see on the picture, there's actually seven weapons. An alternate cleaver and Wurt's Axe. These MIGHT be a part of the final Weapons sprue if there's room on it. But unfortunately we can't promise that they're included. But, if there's room on the sprue, Villager & Noble backers will be getting 2 additional weapons for free!
Finally, if you have any questions regarding the Pledge Manager, Pre-Order Store or anything else. Let us know in the comments, Facebook or via e-mail: [email protected]
In the next update we'll be showing the community posters along with other things!
Pledge Manager Information & Pictures!
about 5 years ago
– Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 11:29:42 PM
Hi folks!
The Pledge Manager is basically ready and we're just putting the finishing touches on it today. So Late Pledges will be available very soon, and "Surveys" will be sent out. In this update we'll talk about the Pledge Manager details and show you some of the latest pictures!
As a backer of this campaign you will receive a "Survey e-mail" from Backerkit with a link to the Pledge Manager. There you will be able to fill out your shipping address, choose any Add-ons and finally pay for shipping + any add-ons you wish to purchase.
Dunkeldorf Accessories
Backerkit (The company that handles the Pledge Manager) has to review our setup before we can officially send out surveys and open for late pledges - This may take an additional couple of days.
We'll send it to review later today and as soon as we have gotten the okay, surveys will start being sent out and we'll open for late pledges as well. So it's just around the corner now!
Shipping & Payment
For most countries the shipping price for the Noble Pledge will be 75 DKK - Unfortunately we can't offer a lower price as the weight of all the stuff included in the Noble Pledge will be quite high. But all packages in the campaign will be sent with a simple form of tracking. Which means that we can track packages once they leave Denmark, arrive in the destination country and finally have been delivered.
Tracking information will not be sent out as the system does not support this, but we can easily check up on the location of the package and get any problems sorted out quicker than compared to no tracking!
Denmark & Shipping
Shipping to backers from Denmark is slightly cheaper than international shipping and is set to 50 DKK, this includes delivery to the front door, but we have a couple of other shipping options for our Danish backers. Unfortunately Backerkit doesn't support shipping options, so we'll have to do it manually after you have finished your pledge. You can see the options below
1. If you want to have it delivered to a Pick-up point (GLS or PostNord) just write us a message on Kickstarter, an e-mail ([email protected]) or write to us on Facebook and we'll sort it out. This shipping method is cheaper and is set to 35 DKK, we can refund the shipping fee difference.
2. If you wish to pick up your package in Rogue Trader, Copenhagen (Where Sonny sits and sculpts on a daily basis) we can arrange that as well! Just let us know and we can agree on a time and date for you to pick up the package. Your entire shipping fee will be refunded once you pick up your package this way. (Perhaps you might even be lucky and get a sneak peek at some of the future Dunkeldorf stuff Sonny will be working on!)
Payment
For Late Pledges & the Pledge Manager in general you'll be able to pay with either VISA or Paypal. Remember that you can pay at any time as long as the Pledge Manager is open, so you'll have at least one full month!
Deadline & Late Pledges
We currently haven't set an official deadline to when the Pledge Manager / Late Pledges closes. But it will definitely be up until June 10th.
Late Pledges will be shipped after all regular Kickstarter pledges have been shipped, because of this we have set our shipping estimate on the Late Pledges to August 2019.
Those who picked the Peasant or Villager pledges in the Kickstarter will be able to upgrade their pledges in the Pledge Manager if you wish. And you'll also get to choose which miniatures you specifically wish to receive.
Okay! I think that covers most of the Pledge Manager stuff - If you have any questions, please ask away and we'll answer them as well as we can! Now, onwards to the pictures!
Reiner's Pug
The finished version of Reiner's Pug "Brunnhilde" can be seen below. Reiner had originally wanted "One of them vicious small dogs that can bite really damn hard" unfortunately he got the breeds slightly mixed up, and now has an utterly lazy pug instead.
A Huge Hog
A completely new sculpt from Sonny! The hog was originally made for an entirely different purpose than Dunkeldorf - Sonny recently joined a WFRP group, and he sculpted this huge bugger for the GM "Morten" (If you've been keeping tabs on the comment section in the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter you might have noticed him refering to "Hogsqueal" a couple of times, which is the name of this lovely fellow in their campaign.)
We loved the sculpt so much that we decided to adopt him into the Dunkeldorf universe. For now he'll be known as "Gowak's Hog" and he'll be available as an Add-on in the Pledge Manager. Please note that he'll be cast in resin as the only miniature in the line so far.
The Dunkeldorf Road Signs
We can finally show you the Dunkeldorf Road Signs that was added as the final add-on of the campaign! These are available in the Pledge Manager :)
As you can see below, the signs/pointers are not attached to the poles and can be placed as you wish. A variant without the Dunkeldorf text is also included, if you wish to write a different town name instead!
That's it for this update. We'll keep you posted on the Pledge Manager as soon as it has been reviewed by Backerkit. Oh, one last thing, Mustafa has just finished the Community Posters, so you'll get to see them pretty soon!
