Greetings Icarus fans, we’re 10 days into the Icarus Project Kickstarter and it’s time for some freebies!

To kick things off; we hit 200 backers today which means that everyone who pledged £50 or more is getting a PDF copy of the Icarus Project: Artbook One for FREE!

Artbook One will be filled with all the art that has been completed for the project so far, including the art for the starter boxes. It will include never before seen looks at the work in progress pieces, design sketches, as well as thoughts from some of the artists.

Layout work has already begun on the Artbook, as you can see above. All the text on those pages is placeholder at the moment, but it gives you an idea of how the book will look. Each concept will have a full page dedicated to the final piece to give you the full effect of our amazing artwork.

We’ve also lowered the goal for the other social stretch goals so that we can get even more free stuff to you sooner!

Even more Free stuff!

But that’s not all. One of the things people love most about what they’ve seen so far is the artwork.

So everyone who pledges £50 or more and includes a starter set will get an one A4 print of the box art of their starter included for free. So if your pledge includes the Alliance and Nexus starter sets, you’ll get an A4 print of both pieces of artwork.

The artwork for the box sets hasn’t been commissioned yet, but to give you an idea of the sort of thing you’ll be getting. . .

 EVERYONE who pledges more than £75 will get a signed A3 print of the Rulebook artwork! 

We all know that to properly represent your favorite gaming system, you need desktop wallpapers for your computer. So we’re going to be giving away a series of wallpapers free to every single backer!

The backgrounds will include the rulebook art and both starter set art pieces, as well as a variety of pieces incorporating some of the character art you’ve already seen.

We want you to immerse yourself into our universe, and artwork and fiction is one of the best ways to do that, so hopefully you’ll all enjoy these freebies!

But that’s not all!

We know that backing a new kickstarter can be a risk, especially when you don’t know what the quality of the miniatures is going to be.

So, to help you, we’re offering a 15% discount on Gabriel Cross, our first miniature, until September 21st to give you the chance to get your hands on the Bounty Hunter at a reduced price, and confirm the amazing quality of the miniature at the same time!

Simply enter the code “kickstarter15” at the checkout (without quote marks) to get money off. This offer is valid until September 21st.

I know that this makes Gabriel cheaper than he’s available on the kickstarter, so if people want to lower their pledge and get their copy now instead of waiting, that’s fine. We want you to see the quality of the miniatures as soon as possible!

We’re sure that once you’ve seen the quality, you’ll want to get your hands on as many Icarus Miniatures models as possible!
