The Tékumel Club

Hi Guys,

An Update:

1) I have confirmed the costs with Old Glory and it seems my initial estimates allowed enough of a fudge factor to accommodate the recent metal price increases, though if they continue to rise who can say how long that will last;

2) The prices will be as follows:

Hlutrgu foot figures:
Nakome (non-member) = Single $4.00, Warband $40.00 (10 troopers + 4 command), Horde $30.00 (10 troopers);
Tirikamu ($20 = 10% off) = Single $3.60, Warband $36.00, Horde $27.00;
Hereksa ($30 = 20% off) = Single $3.20, Warband $32.00, Horde $24.00;
Kasi ($40 = 30%) = Single $2.80, Warband $28.00, Horde $21.00;
Molkar ($50 = 40%) = Single $2.40, Warband $24.00, Horde $18.00;
Kerdu (++ = 50%) = Single $2.00, Warband $20.00, Horde $15.00;

Hlutrgu boat figures:
Nakome (non-member) = Single $4.00, Flotilla $30.00 (2 boats + all crew);
Tirikamu ($20 = 10% off) = Single $3.60, Flotilla $27.00;
Hereksa ($30 = 20% off) = Single $3.20,Flotilla $24.00;
Kasi ($40 = 30%) = Single $2.80, Flotilla $21.00;
Molkar ($50 = 40%) = Single $2.40, Flotilla $18.00;
Kerdu (++ = 50%) = Single $2.00, Flotilla $15.00;

Qol rank-and-file figures:
Nakome (non-member) = Single $4.00, Horde $30.00 (10 rank-and-file);
Tirikamu ($20 = 10% off) = Single $3.60, Horde $27.00;
Hereksa ($30 = 20% off) = Single $3.20, Horde $24.00;
Kasi ($40 = 30%) = Single $2.80, Horde $21.00;
Molkar ($50 = 40%) = Single $2.40, Horde $18.00;
Kerdu (++ = 50%) = Single $2.00, Horde $15.00;

3) I have placed an initial order with Old Glory for:
40 Hlutrgu Warbands and 60 Hordes;
50 Flotillas;
50 Qol Hordes.

4) Payments can be by PayPal in the same manner that the Tekumel Club membership was purchased (to green27@sympatico.ca) or by Money Order (or, cheque, if you prefer) made out to "The Tekumel Project". If you are paying via PayPal please mention that it is for an order in the comments and please send a separate email detailing your order.

5) Postage will be at Cost and will be charged when I have the product and am ready to ship. If you wish, you can place your order and then wait for me to confirm that I have the figures and determine postage before making payment.

6) We are intending to pick up the figures at Fall In. We will not be selling the figures there, but if you want to pick up figures that are already paid for you can do that. We will need to establish some form of recognition system or meeting place prior to the Wednesday of that week as after that I will be away from email until the Sunday when I return.

Hope that all makes sense to you. If you have any comments or suggestions - or questions just let me know.

Best Regards,

Howard

The Tekumel Club - Memberships

Hi All,

In response to enquiries: Yes - one can send in a membership now.
I should probably have added a bit on how to apply. (My Bad.)

I think an email to us (at the green27 address) stating one's particulars - name, address and the desired membership rank - followed by the PayPal payment - in US Dollars. Unless I am mistaken, PayPal sends both parties email receipts.

Regarding the Hlutrgu, I would hold off on orders until I can confirm more about the coracles. This shouldn't take too long, and once I have news of their size and have determined how they are to be molded, I will post the final pricing. The intent is to take pre-orders for a limited time - with pre-orders (paid in full) getting an additional 10% off.

Postage will be extra - at cost.

Canadian residents are subject to taxes as required by Law.

The Tekumel Club - Details

I believe that we have ironed out all the details regarding the Tekumel Club. The way it will work is as follows:

Intent:

The Tekumel Club is intended to offer members discounts on a range of figures to be offered direct from the Tekumel Project. The membership fees will be used to help pay sculptors to make additional Tekumel figures, and artists to prepare art for Tekumel publications. The range of figures will be called "The World of Tekumel" and will offer a variety of figures covering a wide spectrum of subjects, from creatures of the Underworld, to civilians, to the priesthoods of the Temples. The purely military range: "The Armies and Enemies of the Petal Throne" - manufactured and sold by Eureka Miniatures of Australia, will continue to expand. That range is not, however, covered by the Tekumel Club in any way.

Membership:

Membership will last for 1 year from the date of purchase.

Membership will be on a graduated scale, with each level given a descriptive name and a specific discount percentage to be applied to the regular figures for sale.

In addition to the regular range, we will from time-to-time offer "Reward" figures. These figures will be available to all, but priced at a premium rate. Members will receive substantial discounts on this rate in accordance with their membership level.

Memberships are purchased by making a PayPal donation in US Dollars - for "Services" - to the Tekumel Project. The email address to be used is:
green27@sympatico.ca

This is also the address to direct any questions that you might have.

The graduated membership scale will be as follows:

Nakome = non-member = 0% discount;
Tirikamu = $20 member = 10% discount;
Hereksa = $30 member = 20% discount;
Kasi = $40 member = 30% discount;
Molkar = $50 member = 40% discount;
Kerdu = +? member = 50% discount + negotiated;

Note: All amounts are US Dollars

The names are all ranks in the Tsolyani military, except Nakome which means "clanless". Kasi = captain, Molkar = Major and Kerdu translates as General.

Note that to qualify for Kerdu the donation must be significant. We already have an individual who wants to sponsor a legion! Our first Kerdudalikoi (Kerdudali = "Great General", "-koi" = a noble suffix) has offered to sponsor the Aridani Legion of Lady Mrissa and we have offered a suitable compensation in return.

The World of Tekumel - First Release

Our first release will be the Hlutrgu mentioned in my previous post. As stated, I have requested that the greens be ready by Cold Wars, with molding and casting to follow afterwards, hopefully in short order. I cannot, however, give a firm release date at this time. We are still working out the pricing on the coracles (as it really depends upon whether they will both fit on a mold), but I can give you our proposed pricing for the foot figures:

Note: All amounts are US Dollars

Nakome -
Individual Figure Price = $4.00;
Warband Price = $40.00;
Horde Builder Price = $30.00

Tirikamu -

Warband Price = $36.00;
Horde Builder Price = $27.00

Hereksa -

Horde Builder Price = $24.00

Kasi -

Horde Builder Price = $21.00

Molkar -
Individual Figure Price = $2.40;
Warband Price = $24.00;
Horde Builder Price = $18.00

Kerdu* -
Individual Figure Price = $2.00;
Warband Price = $20.00;
Horde Builder Price = $15.00

* Plus negotiated bonus based upon amount donated on a case-by-case basis.
