[KICKSTARTER] 28mm Steampunk Infantry Support Weapons

[Col.Gravis]

Hiya Chaps,

Curious Constructs and our partners at Zinge Industries are very pleased to announce the start of our second Kickstarter campaign following last years successful outing!



This time, we are going to put into production a 28mm Weapons Platform and four brand new Steampunk inspired Heavy Weapons, a Heavy Caliber Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher, Mortar and Cannon. All of these have been designed by Kit Burrows of Zinge Industries, a highly regarded 3D designer with an extensive portfolio of work, pictures below!

Whichever of these options you prefer, this multi-part kit, which will be cast in high quality resin offers huge potential for customisation! In fact, all the new parts are fully compatible with the existing Field Artillery kits which were the result of last years Kickstarter campaign giving you yet more options.

We've already exceeded our funding target with the first three Stretches funded, a Barrage Balloon Anchor, Flak Cannon and Multi-Mortar, with a Multiple Missile Launcher and some freebie Ammunition up for the next two. We've got lots of ideas - and we do mean LOTS! Some are more esoteric then others - don't get Gareth from Zinge Industries started on the subjects of Pigeons and Squirrels.... However, we also want to know what you'd like to see! This Kickstarter is very much a living project and as much as possible we will be driven by what you would like us to produce!

I'm already in

[Vanvlak]

They....they used Malta as a shipping example!
Sniffle! 
Now I'm going to have to back this

Evil looking things - I'm in

[Conquistador]

Fine weapons but still working on "assembling to sell or trade" the earlier weapons.  They look funny next to 15/6/3 mm figures.   and Tarzan finds them difficult to move through the jungle...   

Gracias,

OMG, I signed up for still another Kickstarter? Aauugghh!   

Please, don't tell my wife.....

[Col.Gravis]

Thanks for your support chaps (and sorry!! )

And the concepts are flowing now!

Here we have the Barrage Balloon Anchor concept!



And an early concept of the Flac Cannon!



Don't forget that Early Bird Pledges will close today, with more Concept previewing to come a little later on!

[Col.Gravis]

So its been a few days since our last update, but theyve continued thick and fast on the Kickstarter!

First up we have the Multi-Mortar.



Secondly, Multiple Missile Launcher which has so far proven very popular!


Next, the first Freebie of the campaign, an Ammunition sprue featuring a selection of ammo types for the weapons so far unlocked, and a couple of those from the 2013 Kickstarter.



We've also unveiled the bizarre Homing Pigeon guidance system(!).



And most recently the Doomsday Missile.



We're still looking at the Flac Cannon at the moment, with further revisions planned, and have just announced the next few Stretch Goals, we're a scant distance away from the Searchlight, with the Flame Cannon, and three further Platform types next on the agenda - Wheeled, Tracked...and Legged!

Come and check out the campaign page if this latest batch gets your interest!

Don't like the MML (although 40k types probably do) but I do have a soft spot for that multi morter

[Col.Gravis]

Unashamedly some weapons fit in better with some systems better then others it has to be said! We're trying to cater to all tastes though.

Right, one further update, the Kickstarter Campaign ends on SUNDAY.

We've had a couple more unlocks since my last proper update, with the Searchlight and Flame Cannon both becoming unlocked!





The Searchlight is also a multi-option kit, which allows you to build it in a couple of different ways.



With just over 24 hours to go we're closing in on unlocking the first of the Self-Propelled Platforms, the wheeled variant, beyond that are the Tracked and Walker versions.



Finally the Flac Cannon has also been updated following from feedback from backers.

After some reworking following feedback from backers we have progress on the Flac Cannon which has gone beyond the concept stage now. It's still work in progress, but we are getting there!

Its not too late to get on board in the final 30 hours of the campaign, but dont leave it too long!

Rather belatedly, I'm onboard too

[Col.Gravis]

Welcome aboard Bullshott!

12 Hours left, we're just £100 short of the Wheel Self-Propelled Carriage now, £600 short of the Tracked Carriage, can it be done?

Initial Concept

[Conquistador]

Okay, I can use a searchlight.  In for 12 GBP, will transfer money to cover it. Edit: plus 5 GBP for shipping to USA.

Gracias,

Glenn

[Col.Gravis]

Thank you Conquistador!

The Wheeled Self-Propelled Platform is unlocked, can we make it to the Tracked Self-Propelled Platform as well?

As I posted on the update, that could well become my new Ork Wartrakk basis... for when I actually do something with the large box of Orks at the back of my games room.... Still, doesn't stop me buying things for them...
