Mr Saturday:
The golem is certainly the best attempt I’ve seen at a destroyer yet. It’s immense, even a 100x150 is going to struggle with that monster. I’m hoping the ‘chosen’ (fireborn) will be as impressive, as that’s what I’m really looking forward to seeing, along with the war machines.

Mr Saturday:
Nice. He painted them and everything. They do look rather tasty.
TheFNG:
So based on those who’ve support Titan Forge in the past, what’s the turnaround timeline? If i invest will I be getting my models this summer, fall, winter? I just don’t feel like waiting a year+ for these models, as cool as they may be. 6 months on the other hand seems reasonable.
NemesisCH:
As far i know, they are at the planned timeframe.
GDD:
The golem is more than I dreamed for…
cornixt:
At 55 ukp, the golem isn’t cheap (although for only a 6ukp more you can get it and a unit of infantry or a war machine). Can’t wait to see the final model.

Update #28: Eviscrators and Eliminators! And a list of add - ons!
Hi folks!
We're working very hard now, and we will be able to show you a new concept art or 3D render every day, so be sure to check with us daily! The Infernal Golem collected a lot of love from you guys & gals, and remember - it is your idea made present. Pretty cool.
Today however, there is even more Kashan Vra goodness. Dread Eviscerators followed closely by Dread Eliminators. Check them out!
As you can see, the Dread Eviscerators are geared with rather big and cumbersome blunderbussess, which gives them their unique look. All the Kashan Vra goodness still remains, so chain beards are also present. They look pretty mean and they mean business!
And the Dread Eliminators. Their weapons look really great with the double bayonet blades mounted on front, and additional blade on the blunt of the rifle. It's really cool how their weapons separate those two choices from each other, with Eviscerators looking more "in your face", and Eliminators being the fire support.
We also prepared a list of add - ons that will be available for you. You can find most of the stuff you wished for added, with weapon upgrades sets and heroes bundle! Check them out, those add - ons should really help you with completing your force.
We also added a new stretch goal for 25k, it's pretty nice! Now you have something to look for!
Pretty nifty eh?
We'll also add a skirmish bundle, more detailed info will be available tommorow!
As always, leave a comment below, and be sure to check with us tommorow. I think I saw something like Ancestral Guardians taking shape today...
Update #29: Cloud Smashers and Ancestral Guardians... population of Metal Beards fans increases!
Hi folks!
Time for some dwarven love! And we have some fine stuff to show you today!
First of all are Cloud Smashers. We decided to add them to the infrantry choices for Metal Beards after some cool discussions on our facebook page. The jet pack infrantry is in great esteem in gaming comunity, and is somewhat iconic. We took our chance to play a little with this concept, as we've done in the past (undead orcs and zomblins for example), and we re - shaped it in our way. Therefore, we created robotic steampunk dwarves hopping around on jet packs, and while doing it, smashing some skulls!
And a little bonus...

Pretty cool stuff - dwarves on jump packs AND wielding two runic hammers - just mean!
But there's more. Ancestral Guardians, the myth, the legend, the awesomeness. When you need to show your opponent who has got a bigger beard, they are the only choice. Mounted on 40 mm square bases, having a possibility to assembly your model with masked or unmasked head, with additional weapon options (you can swap the drill for shield or second hand weapon) - they are the foebreakers.
The similar options will be available to Sons of Kashan Vra also, so don't be too jealous!
STEAM GATLING GUN vote has ended. Most of you vote option number 2 (twice the guns, twice the awesome!), but a lot of folks also liked option number 3. We want to satisfy either side, so we went for option 2 BUT you will be able to assembly the gun with gunner either in front of the guns, like presented on picture, or in the back of the guns, like on option 3. How's that?
Also we received another review from our friends back in Germany. They also did excellent work, and painted the miniatures very fast - but with great effect! Be sure to check it out!

Sticklander:
I’m liking the look of those Eviscerators, and the rocket propelled chaps!
Though, by the looks of those blog reviews, the models are quite small…
cornixt:
Enough options for a Steampunk Squat army!

Update #30: Heavy ordnance and vile corruption
Hi folks!
It's time to show some heavy firepower! First of all, we want to show all the warmachines till the weekend so you can check them out and get some idea what they will look like. So they're pretty raw, missing a lot of details that will appear later - crystals, skulls, horns. Right now they are still deepin WIP stage, but you can see the overall idea. However, we will add a lot of bits and pieces to those warmachine sets, like chains, crystal caskets, so you could personalize each warmachine as you like, making them more possessed or keeping the "evil" theme toned a bit. This will also help Metal Beards fans if they would like to get their hands on one of those warmachines, or the other way - you could add a Sons of Kashan Vra flavour to a Dread Cannon for example.
Today we have a World Trembler WIP's, straight from the Sons of Kashan Vra forges (also known as computers...)
Yesterday we shown a concept arts of Ancestral Guardians, today it's time for their dreadful counterparts - the Chosen of Kashan Vra! Similar to Ancestral Guardians they'll come with some different options, so you could customize them a bit, swaping head pieces and weapons. I must say the're pretty badass, especially the one without "helmet".
This flaming skull is just sick. That's if you ask me.
As always, be sure to leave a comment below and in comment section!
Yodrin:
Its a lot of cool stuff here, but the troopers are to much bolt and machine look for me, the cannons though have potesial!!
Mr Saturday:
I really like the chosen. Some head variants would be great, if anyone has ideas and is on the KS please mention them, Titan Forge do really seem to listen. I’ve certainly found my fireborn, I can tell you that.
Skamandude:
As I already have enough rank & file troops im kinda waiting for a decent render of the Golem. Anyone else in this situation. I currently havent backed the campaign - but as soon as they reveal more of that Golem they’ll be getting a wedge of my cash.
Any of you backers got any inside info on if they plan on doing so before the campaign ends?
NemesisCH:
A friend and me are in the KS with “some” money. To hell with the " no more exp. KSs in the new year!". :cheers
:o I will build up a entire CD army out of this range. :hat off
:hashut The infernal golem and the smaller ones will be used in both CD armies.

Update #31: Fire in the hole! Incinerator arrives!
Hi folks!
Like promised, today we present an Incinerator, a perfect tool to bring infernal ain to your opponents, covering them with corrupted flame! As World Trembler, it’s still in it’s WIP stage. But you can see some detailes added to the template for warmachines, like skulls and spikes. This will be also used with the other warmachines, it will make other warmachines that bit faster.
We will spice it up a bit, that’s for sure, but even in it’s WIP stage it looks realy cool!
This leaves us with only Life Shreader left from the unlocked warmachines park. We will try to show it tommorow.
Some of you also asked for a Skirmish Set for collectors and RPG fans.
We designed something like that:
Dwarf Lord Gemalin
Ancestral Guardian (1 model)
2 x Anvilborn with crossbow/rifles
2 x Sentinels Ironshields (hand weapon & shield)
2 x Mountain Crushers Ironfists (two - handed weapons)
2 x Anvilborn Berserkers (two hand weapons)
2 x Cloud Smashers
2 x Steel Miners
2 x Rampagers
And the point cost for whole set equals 850 points. Hope you like it! We will also post it on front page!
64 hours to go guys & gals! Let us see some Metal Beards and Sons of Kashan Vra love! Time is running away…
As always, please leave a comment and any feedback is welcome!

Update #33: Only 20 hours more!
Hi folks!
Last day of the campaign - only 20 hours left. The temperature is rising and Metal Beards are counting on YOU!
We also unlocked the 25 000 pounds stretch goal, which means that all non - hero units receive 10% discount! You can find the unlocked stretch goal on the homepage! This means - more beards and more fun. Can you resist it?
Today we wanted to show you the 3D render of the last of warmachines that were unlocked - the dreaded Life Shreader! Remember, that as previous 3D renders of warmachines, this is still in WIP stage, so some details might be still missing. But overall it looks really cool.
Hope you like this little piece of machinery!
Campaign is slowly coming to an end. And it was a very interesting campaign, definitely crowdfunding one. Although we had some stuff already in mind when we launched this campaign, a lot of things was suggested by community either here, on kickstarter, or on facebook page. We wanted to thank you for that, and take a small pause to browse through all the miniatures that were unlocked and most of them presented in some way. This is also your work. A lot of backers supported us on forums, blogs, thier LGS, etc. This is also your success.
BUT IT IS NOT OVER YET!
We still have 20 hours to make this campaign go this one step further! On 30 000 pounds the legendary Ancient Zeppelins will be unlocked. And we're counting on you here!
After the campaign ends, we will have a big meeting in Titan Forge regarding the Metal Beards and Sons of Kashan Vra. We will discuss if we wish to add anything to the already unlocked ranges, or if anybody has some cool ideas what to change/add/modify to make those miniatures look even better. So, if you have any idea, how we could improve the Metal Beards and Sons of Kashan Vra - let us know! We will definitely talk about this on our after - kickstarter meeting and maybe it will happen?
As always, let us know what you think and leave a comment!
Firehammer:
Half an hour to go … and zeppelins unlocked!
Edit:
Aaaand funded at £30,841. Congratulations!
Firehammer:
Update #35: A heartly THANK YOU!
Hi folks!
And it's over! That was fast. It feels like we just launched the project, and right now it's successfully funded. Feels like we just started gathering and discussing all those great ideas we had, and those that our supporters and backers gave us - and now some of them are already done, and even more is just waiting for fulfilling!
But, first things first! THANK YOU! We couldn't have done it without you. Without your support, without your feedback, without your activities on different forums, blogs, vlogs. Without your "spreading the word" in different LGS, hobbystores, gaming clubs, hobby centers. It's our success the same way it's yours. So, again THANK YOU!
That being said, some could ask: what now?
Now it is time for very hard work from our side, and some patience from your side. We still have some miniatures we have to show you, and some of them are only in concept phase, so still some more time is required. During the campaign we tried to keep you informed without delay what is happening here, and we intend to do the same now, after the official campaign ended. However, now we focus on creating all those miniatures, so we wont post the updates as frequently as it was now. We will focus all our resources on creating the awesome products you unlocked as fast as possible. This will mean we will work very hard on single task. Although, while this will influence a bit our presence in comments and updates section - be assured, that when we will have something worthwhile for you - we will show it! Your questions will still be answered on daily basis, so no worries here - we're still here to answer and provide info for any inquires you may have.
We wanted this project to be a crowdfunding, and crowddesigning. And we think we got this right! Infernal Golem, Ancestral Guardians, Chosen of Kashan Vra, Cloud Smashers, Rampagers, Steel Miners and many more were either ideas of our backers and fans, or at least have some part of them designed by them. Chain beards of the Sons of Kashan Vra are the best example - we didn't even think about them when we talked how to design Sons, and look how great they add uniqe "feel" to those models. That is your success, and our awesome ideas made present.
After a short party we will go back to work to make sure, that all of our backers will get the best customer service available. So stay tuned, as always leave your comment, and see you tommorow!
Great shout out to all of our backers from TITAN FORGE!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!
Bloodbeard:
The last 120 minutes was pretty tough, really wanted to back this project. But since I have 80 dwarfs, 6 bc, 5 fireborn, 2 magmas, 1 deathshrieker, 1 iron daemon and a destroyer lying in bits and pieces - I didn’t.
But who did? Looking forward to seeing the Kashan Vra painted and posted among other Dawi Zharr here on CDO.
