ClawLeader:
Now you got my interest…
RiTides:
Mine too!
I already pledged for the two possessed heroes, and apparently a unit unlocks at the same time as each!
The heroes work with my army because they’re less “metal”, I think. Hoping they make a BSB, too. If you pledge, mention that in the comments 
(there’s already a non-possessed BSB).
Bloodbeard:
So that kickstarter just got a lot more interesting - an will get a lot more backers from the CD community!
I think the kickstarted is a good deal - compared to the prices the generally have on their miniatures. But I do like them.
Skamandude:
Mine too!Im kinda confused by the pledge levels. How much did you pledge to get those two models RiTides?

Update #8: Possessed Metal Beards - the idea behind!
In the workshops of Mother of Mountains the work never ceases. Engineers are tightening the last Dread Cannon screws, and are polishing the armour plates of the Mountain Crushers. But, at the same time, deep in the bowels of the mountain, Possessed Metal Beards are designing their own vehicles of destruction, which will, very soon, stand against their brethren.
You�?Tve already seen Possessed Metal Beards heroes, but the main body of their army, as in their cousins force, is created by ranks upon ranks of mechanical Metal Beards units. S�,awek is working on their design very hard but we managed to get few good looks on his drawings, to give you a hint of what you could expect from evil beards!
Possessed Metal Beards are fueled not by coal, or steam, but by energy of the crystals, they mine deep in the Mother of Mountain. But the power comes with a price �?" the mysterious crystals are slowly corrupting the engineers, making them mad and evil. Thus, instead of furnace and steam boiler, you can find locks with some gems, emanating some strange light. The fume vents, shaped in hexagon, are also a distinctive feature, making the Possessed Metal Beards easy recognizable.
Possessed Metal Beards are more reckless and they don�?Tt know the meaning of patience �?" which reflects in their mechanisms. You�?Tll see that their constructions are less symmetric, the parts are screwed together more random, and instead of ornaments, and heraldry �?" spikes, horns and unholy runes.
Heroes of Possessed Metal Beards are also engineers, so you�?Tll find a wrench or hammers attached to their belts, or sticking out of their bags. But they are fascinated by blades, so each of them was converted to not only tighten a loosed bolt, but also to cleave some unfortunate dwarf in half! In the end, as some smart barbarian said: �?oYou can never have too many knives�?�.
If you like what you see, and would like to see more like, share and post!
Update #9: Mountain Crushers!
Time to get serious. Heavy armour? Checked. Cool, badass weapons, each almost as big as a grown man? Checked. Classy, and stylish design, with dynamic pose? Checked.
Yup, the Mountain Crushers have arrived!
To give you a bit more insight of how we create the Metal Beards, we wanted to show you a list of parts - be sure to check them out!
Whos next? Well, Dread Cannon shape is looming on the horizon...
Im kinda confused by the pledge levels. How much did you pledge to get those two models RiTides?Pledges are based on a point system, with characters costing more points than troops. Most point values are stated on the front page, but not yet of the possessed dwarfs.

RiTides:
I pledged for the 31 pound (500 points) level. That will likely leave me 100 points extra (other heroes have cost 200 points) but you can add points (50 points for 4 pounds).
Grimstonefire:
Hmmm. As they are all sculpted digitally I wonder if they could be convinced to up the size of the mountain crushers say 50%?
They would serve a purpose then imo in a variety of armies/ systems.
RiTides:
They just posted in the comments they’ll be making 3 possessed heroes:
Too much christmas songs made me thinking too slow! Not 3 units, but three heroes, HEROES!They take suggestions, as I asked for the standard bearer :). I think there will just be 2 possessed units (but also normal and possessed golems… If this keeps going up).
1. Mage
2. Standard Bearer
3. Lord
Pledge if you want them! I put in 44 pounds (31 pledge level + 5 shipping to US + 8 pounds to add 100 points). Gives me 600 points and the standard characters were all 200 each.

Update #10
Dec 23, 2013
Dread Cannon madness!
Alright guys & gals! Time for some Dread Cannon showdown! Now, it’s not a finished model yet. There are some parts that will be added, for example there will be a gunner seat placed next to the barrel itself. So the Dread Cannon will get some more attention, but it’s ready to be shown and feel free to comment and share your opinion with us!
But to give you some more info we decided to add a little movie, so you can check out the gun from every angle! But, as always, we got some pictures of the famous artillery of the Metal Beards!
How do you like it? Please, remember it’s not finished yet, but should be ready in no time!

Can you handle this level of badassory and emerge victorious?

AN IMPORTANT NEWS! NEW CONTEST ANOUNCED!Would be stupid to not throw some names at them. Thanks for the heads up - I'll be joining that competion. Just have to set my mind at "evil mode" in all this christmas glee.

And that dread cannon could make a great base for a dreadquake mortar.
RiTides:
Well, Kickstarter doesn’t allow contests so they had to amend that. Still cool, though.
RiTides:
Possessed standard bearer art is up! Still need another 800 pounds or so to unlock, so pledge if you’re interested!
Hi there! Time for some update!
Despite having soome time free from work we managed to do some concept art of the Standard Bearer hero for the evil Metal Beards:
The Possessed Standard Bearer will come with a few choices of equipment. The one you can see above comes with a hand weapon and a shield, but we also plan to give him a two - handed weapon. Also, you can see a gas mask on his face - we also think about making that an option, like for a Possessed Overlord.
S�,awek is currently working very hard on more concept arts - they should appear soon!
We also hope you have a great christmas, with lots of food and cool presents! We sure have lots of food…
thewizardofoz:
I ma really liking the look of these - possible ironsworn methinks.
Yodrin:
That cannon is kinda cool looking
thewizardofoz:
That cannon is kinda cool lookingI agree but when I really looked at it, I feel it is just a little plain.

ryanamandaanna:
I just backed it; the possessed models put me over the top.

Possessed BSB and Blunderbusses unlocked!

Update #13: New year aproaching!
Well, the christmas are behind us. Let us mourn all the food that was eaten during those days (as well as all those diets that failed uterly when faced with this delicious snacks!). But, we can now put it aside and focus on the job at hand - spawning more and more Metal Beards and their corrupted brethren. Few last updates were more Possessed focused, so now some glorious Metal Beards!
Steel Miners are a rare sight on the battlefield. Metal Beards, as all dwarves, are well known for their expertise in mining. Also, their society is divided in numerous clans: miners, jewelers, warmiths etc. Most of the clans, when the need occurs, are able to deploy a unit or two. Steel Miners are joining the force of Metal Beards only on most dire need - they are needed to ever expanding the dominion of Metal Beards. However, when they join the fight - it is like the Mother of Mountains express her rage and anger! Earth erupts in great explosions, the ground shakes and tears apart.
S�,awek took a little break from drawing Possessed Metal Beards and finished those heads of Steel Miners. Being clearly “in theme” with the rest of the models, are easy to distinguish, just by the look of their armoured heads!
GDD:
Hello! I’ve been lurking in the forums for quite some time now, so none of you know me.
But look at THIS!

Wouldn’t need anything but the awesome heads put them on my own steamguard.
