I noticed that the Afterlife Kickstarter by Anvil Industry hasn't really picked up a head of steam, so I thought I'd post a link here in case people haven't come across it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637892615/afterlife-the-shards-of-liberty?ref=nav_search

In the interest of full disclosure, I did some work on the background material for the setting, but I'm not an employee or profiting from the Kickstarter in any way :-)

Looks pretty cool, but I think they might have been a little to ambitious.  Best of luck.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

One discussion thread per kickstarter only, please (excluding actual product in people's hands).

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=58811.0

EDIT: I was informed that this is a different Kickstarter, so I re-opened the topic. Please use it for discussion of this current project. For future reference, please phrase topic titles referring to Kickstarters as unambiguously as possible.

Happy I backed the first KS and I do want a couple of those characters, but it's a shade pricey for me.

Yup, at £6+ for characters they are pricing themselves higher than the likes of Hasslefree and for me, the figures are not as good.

However, I do like some of the miniatures. The wardrones are very nice looking and I like Ellenor Renard. The support weapons are good as well.

One last signal boost, as Anvil are painfully close to their target, and LAFer Dwartist is running a contest to win a fig painted by his :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637892615/afterlife-the-shards-of-liberty/posts/1027043

Price wise - if you go for the £100 pledge (admittedly a large commitment) then you are getting 40 minis.  £2.50 a mini, include a number of larger battlesuits and robots ain't bad for high-quality sci-fi.

I get to paint the minis anyway (unpaid!) - but I've still pledged! They really are fabulous minis to paint - excellent, sharp detail, quality castings and they have a hard sci-fi feel which i love.

Magnificent!  :-*
I'm always baffled by your colour palette.

Yep, at least the first KS batch casting quality was excellent so I have no doubts about that and aesthetics as far as uniforms and equipment goes is also pretty good (with some exceptions). Sadly, I can't bring myself to like the heroic (AKA "pandering to the GW public" -- the attitude also responsible I wager for the "ebil torturer doktors with bag pack cranes" in the current KS) scaling of the minis.
