Hobgoblins and evil dwarf miniatures in 10mm and 28mm scales.
About
Dancing Yak Miniatures is proud to be bringing you a full Infernal Chaos Dwarf and Hobgoblin army in both 10mm and 28mm.
If funded, it will offer a huge variety of units to fill all the needs one may have from tabletop RPGs to the myriad of wargames that have some form of evil dwarfs. Models have been tailored to fit the 9th Age rule system for which we are a supporting company.
Everything is sculpted digitally with some minor adjustments by hand and all prototypes will be 3D printed with a high resolution resin printer. Production is then made by our own hands, spin casting in high quality metal, so we can ensure the highest level of detail.
We are making the models in 28mm heroic scale and 10mm. From the bottom of feet in 28mm hobgoblins are around 28-35 mm tall and dwarfs 25-35 (some of the hats are big). For 10mm, models are scaled to the standard so they work with other 10mm fantasy makers out. Hobgoblins are 12-15mm and dwarfs are all around 15mm, plus or minus. Hobgoblins are much taller than dwarfs. Dwarfs are fatter and have much larger hats.
We bought 2 soon to be 3 printers, resin, a spin caster. We need to buy mold making materials and equipment, metal, and living expenses. We have also dedicated 4 months to this project full time already and several part time.
We seek your help to fund the masters for the models, the production molds, and the materials required for the casting as well as the production expenses. What you will get are the models you have been wanting at a discounted price from future retail. You will get the models before they go for retail sale. You will also get exclusive Kickstarter models and bonus goodies, have access to making stretch goals available, exclusive army deals, and shipping subsidies.We plan on having models shipping out to buyers August-September.
We hope you will join us on this adventure.

Risks and challenges
As with all kickstarters there are risks . We have one foreseeable risk . And that's something we haven't planned on goes wrong. we have allocated already extra time for this but there are issues during the production process which can lengthen it . These range from the spincaster braking, to getting a huge amount of orders to one of us getting very sick. These types of issues can add to the production time . We plan on having people start getting models in late august but may go into september . it may be a couple more if there are big issues . we do not for see any big issues and prototype prints have been made. Now on to masters.
