This post is just to explain what the House Bharteth Patreon/Tribes project is about!
Hello everyone and thank you for taking an interest in the House Bharteth Patreon.
House Bharteth is a combined project between Frankie and Andrew and is the model production component of the House of Strife, a fan supplement for Necromunda. A lot of additional work goes on outside of the Patreon/Tribe creating lore, background, stories and suchlike which are all being compiled into a free PDF. The characters, or Dramatis Personae, which feature in the book are then the inspiration for the models that we produce and give to you through here.
At the moment, each month we release a number of different release:
The first is what we call a Feature Character. This is one of the primary characters from the book and is the main model, normally comprising of a dozen or so arm/weapon/head options. These models are based on the concept art by Charles Lin and feature in the House of Strife book as a member of the primary gang in the lore, the Ghalin's Guns. Alongside the model release, we also produce (free for everyone) some character cards, lore and rules for the Dramatis Personae.
The second monthly release is called the Scenario NPC. These models are a little bonus release which are linked to one of three overarching story lines. Each story line is split into four or five parts with a model linked to each. The backers vote each month as to which story gets expanded upon and once all parts of a story arc have been unlocked we will then release the compiled story in the form of a custom scenario. The models are normally monopose figures from the AUS30K range, previously unavailable as digital, only resin.
The last monthly release which we are currently doing is a monthly collaboration with other projects in which we will exchange promotional models for each others Patrons and give them exposure to other projects.
Recently we have added to the above range of rewards and implemented two new inclusions. A series of Loyalty reward models which are released to backers who support the projects for consecutive months, there are rewards for 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of support. In addition we also added a Welcome Pack of three mono-pose models from our first three character, Larry, Terry and Moon-face.
Last but not least the next goal which we hope to unlock soon is the increase in monthly models released. This goal is based on attaining 200 backers, and that goal is drawn from both Tribes and Patreon. Once we get to that level we will add an additional character model and an exotic beast to the release schedule.
Because the project is running across multiple platforms, we are finding that Discord is currently the best forum to interact with backers and discuss future models, characters, rules and other WIP's.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to flick us a message and we will be happy to have a chat!
Cheers
Frankie and Andrew
