Is this just on Facebook? I get asked to log in to view it but I don't have an account. It looks interesting. Will there also be miniatures for it?
-
There is a group on Facebook (hence me including it, but I'll be using this thread as well initially) - it's designed to use existing ranges, BUT if there is enough interest we do have plans . . . .

Best of luck with this. I'll be keeping an eye on this. Just a random though but I'm surprised no one has made an mdf version of Lovecraft's Providence house. The 'sharp distinction' bit reminded me of the quote which in turn reminded me of my drive by of the house which got me thinking about a 28mm version!

The name is taken from that quote LoL -
"Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal"
I'm trying to talk the "Artmaster General" Carl (BooBoo on LA) into doing some specific terrain :D

I recognised it, very cool! I'm sure you will have already read it but Lovecraft's essay on horror is well worth reading.

One of the idea being discussed are "Encounter Packs".
Each "Encounter Pack" contains not only the start of a faction, but also special edition Mythos Creatures that compliment the contents of the set.
As usual all miniatures will be made available separately, but at least initially the special edition miniatures will only be available in their encounter packs.
In this example we see the "Return to Minnow Island" Encounter Pack, which contains 7 Shipwrecked Investigators and 2 Native Islander Deep Ones.

There's some extremely useful figures there. The human figures have a look about them that reminds of of Poirot episodes. I like it!

IT'S ALIVE!
The Advance-Order Retro-Booster is live for our BRAND NEW Horror Range "Sharp Distinction" - which will include all sorts of Lovecraft, TV and Movie, Monsters and Characters.
We've decided to make the Sharp Distinction Retro-Booster much more simple, with a set range of Miniatures to pre-order over a slightly longer period of time - with no Unlocks to stretch for.
All the items here are up for Pre-Order as part of the latest "Retro-Booster" Promotion, estimated Shipping is the first quarter 2017 (so again much faster than a Kickstarter).
This Particular Retro-Booster will run until early in the New Year, and is more limited in scope than the last one - making it much more customer friendly.
https://www.ecwid.com/store/nexus-miniatures/#!/Sharp-Distinction-Pre-Order-Page/c/21451007 (https://www.ecwid.com/store/nexus-miniatures/#!/Sharp-Distinction-Pre-Order-Page/c/21451007)
OK, heres a few Questions I have been asked.
Why Not Kickstarter - Crowd Funding platforms take a large chunk of cash off the top, and you can wait up to eight weeks for funds. By operating a rolling pre-order system we at Nexus can get to work faster, and use more of the money for product and running the website.
Why So Close to the Last Retro-Booster - There are a few reasons actually. First, we want this to be a rolling thing, allowing us to release the products our customers want on a more regular basis. Second, Sharp Distinction was actually supposed to be before the Red Sector/S.D.Z.A. Booster - but things weren't quite ready to press forward. Lastly, the Retro-Boosters are VERY customer friendly - allowing purchases and add-ons to be done at leisure over a period of time (and yes, there will be a "no additional postage" code for folks how want to add things gradually to spread the cost). Lastly, we expect to get folks ordering Sharp Distinction that didn't order anything from the last Retro Booster too.
When will my Sharp Distinction Miniatures ship to me - as this is a rolling thing, the minute the last Retro-Booster Miniatures are cast and ready to ship these will be a go - I'm expecting to ship first quarter 2017.

Lets touch on the Cultsts Starter Set first shall we.
There are actually many more of these planned (assuming we get enough of these ordered to warrent them LoL) - including praying Cultists.
The hooded heads are separate, and if enough sets are ordered we will be in a position to include head variants - such as the "squiddy-mask" Cultist Head you see in the second and third pictures.
A big shout out to James Berhalter who placed the very first Sharp Distinction order, congratulations your order will arrive with something "extra" included as a Prize!
(and yes, there will be more surprises for lucky Boosters as the Sharp Distinction journey continues).

This needs to be investigated further, methinks...

I want to post a bit about another Sharp Distinction Release today, the Writer and the Traveller.
(https://scontent.fman1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/14947579_1429430673757560_6456460267064559517_n.jpg?oh=4a10d5e55eade9532053d130751bdb99&oe=58D0D9B3)
No one (to my mind) has ever released these two characters so well conceived - the Inspiration for both is obvious I suppose, but only Lovecraftian Movie Fans will recognise part of that inspirations origins.
Carl (BooBoo in this Forum)has done an astonishing job on both, travelling far-west with the Writer and hitting the Silver Key with the Traveller too.
Both are available for Advance Order in the Sharp Distinction section of the Webstore.

Now the Red Sector Models are well on the way to being completely re-printed (anyone who's spoken to me knows the full story - promises broken by the printing service and TERRIBLE quality) it's time to focus a little more attention on the new Sharp Distinction range, that will be off to printing as soon as I am happy with the Red Sector re-prints.
Excellent sculpts by our own Art Master General Carl Stoelzel, the interest has been brisk - and I'm hoping it generates enough interest to warrant expanding the range (hopefully straight away with the Star Spawn).
The Sharp Distinction Pre-Order Page will remain live until the 3D Printing is complete and I'm happy with it - then the pre-orders will end, and the prices will increase to full retail.

Any news? The website still says the minis should be out by "first quarter 2017".
That should have been amended - we're in a bit of a struggle with the new releases atm.
The Red Sector stuff got screwed with, which has thrown everything back.
Updates on these coming very soon though!

So, still no news?
Edit:
Turns out I've just have a very detailed email from the shop's owner, and to make it short, many things got in the way, but everything should be fixed soon.
