I don't think a lot of folk realise it's PVC yet... I've seen folk who know it's plastic still talking about it like it's gonna be GW style hard plastics...
http://www.sans-detour.com/public/Aarklash%20Post/Aarklash%20Post%20%239%20EN.pdfMiniature's bodies will be PVS, and the weapons will be in ABS. This is the approach that CMON is taking with their GoT tabletop game figures... which look decent in pictures, but I won't have those in hand until August at the earliest...There is a mention in the letter of setting a funding goal to try and make it all HIPS (GW style hard plastic) but IMO that is a bit of a pipe dream, Would love to see it happen though!
that seems like a promise made by an earnest but naive creator. It's one thing to say "well we can just scan them and make them in plastic" It's quite another to actually adjust those scans in such a way as to lay them out for casting in a steel mould without MAJOR reworking. The labour involved in just getting the existing miniatures ready for tooling would be insane. Every single figure would need scanning, breaking up, reworking, slicing up again...it makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Not saying it couldn't be done, But not on the budget and time scale they seem to be promising.
Glad to see someone noticed! I'm not seeing evidence that the creators have experience in miniatures production. They've run several KS for RPGs, but not miniatures. The owner of SD also has another OLGS company, which is having financial troubles. Take a look at the Dakka thread for more info. SD also plans to release a Confrontation Boardgame in 2019, so this isn't the only opportunity for you to get some Confrontation miniatures.
