After countless hours of hard work and even managing to hospitalise myself during their production the Space Knights Kickstarter has now been launched.
If you’d like to take a look (and why wouldn’t you?) just click the link.

I hope to see you amongst the pledgers!
Kind regards

Just backed! Also realise I owe you an email from a while ago about sculpts, sorry - manic at the mo. I'll try and come back to you soon.
-
I am very happy with the GDF and civilians I got from the last Kickstarter. Beaky Knights aren't my typical miniatures fare though. I would go for the £4 pledge if I could get the close combat knights as a package. This is only for feedback, as I know you must do what works best for you. In any event, best wishes with this Kickstarter.
-
These look like they will do very nicely, 40k15mm has been gaining popularity for a while now for one thing. I'm kind of surprised you don't have jet packs for the assault troops. Should be a pretty easy CAD and print job though if anybody is interested in them. ::)
In any case good luck with them!

Thanks. And don't worry about the sculpting.

I'm glad someone is! Had a fair few people not overly happy with the size of the GDF. As for the Space Knights I may open up the close combat knights, specialists etc as a package later on. But would limit them to say 10 sets. We'll see.

Ah, Rocket propelled space knight? Truth be told I was running out of mould space. May well make some in the near future however I thought people might enjoy making their own as you point out.

Great concept
Something I have started doing in 28 mm ,kit bashing not had time to get past a handful of miniatures so far.
-
Backed! There were just the Space Knights I was looking for!

They are a bit small to use with my other human figures, but so full of character, so I will be happy just to mix with Aliens for some games. I would have gone for a sniper set from the specialists if that tad been on offer. I may have to pick up a full set anyway in the autumn. Really hope this works out. The figures with swords would make nice essence wield ears for "Blasters & Bulkheads" or "Five Parsecs.."
I would happily pay £5 plus p&p for those five, (similarly for the aforementioned GDF snipers) although I would prefer heads to helmets. Peter Pig do some Tureg heads I have always fancied though if I needed to convert them... I Understand you have moulding issues though.
-
Hmmm, interesting.
Oh who am I kidding, these look great fun.
Backed.
-
Replying to remember, but I'm definitely in on this game. It's genuinely like you read my mind. lol

I think you might have shown me them before.

That's what we like to hear!

Sweet, thank you.

Take the next step. Get a one pound pledge and towards the end of the kickstarter increase it if you want to. What have you got to lose?
-
Ah yes so I did lol
-
I tried posting this to Frothers, but it hasn't come up yet, soooo:
Have you considered adding an option to get all helmets of one type? For me the ones with snouts and visors (middle of the second row) are the only ones I'd want.
-
Actually taking a good look, these are also quite affordable, which is nice.

No... I'm afraid not. Well, not yet anyway. It's not that I think it's a bad idea but with only 24 people so far wanting modular figures and after receiving feedback I'm putting together several stretch goals for single piece and other types of space knights.
That's not to say down the line I won't put together a mould of differing helmet options in 15mm.

One tries. :)

Lots of options with these guys, they might make cool robots if you give them spherical heads with a big single eye for instance!

Sorry for any confusion, had to use my dad's account for the original post. Just to clarify, I meant full sets with all of one type of helmet, not separate helmet sets.
Anyway, interested in seeing how you change it. Maybe single piece bodies with separate heads?
-
I am going to pass on these - backed the previous one - because I have less interest in Space Knights. They are nice but not really what I gave on my 2016-2020 buying list. That said, I am sure they will sell nicely.
-
Sizewise, how much taller/bulkier are the knights than the global defence dudes*?
* I like 'em as well so no dramas on that count from me.

Now that you mention it they just might.

Well the initial set shown on the Kickstarter will stay as it is. I won't be changing that (beyond updating the paladin armour)
The single piece space knights will be just that, single piece. But regarding helmets yes I could do say sprues of ten helmets that are all the same but Not right now. I don't know that I could justify the cost. That's all.

You'll change your mind! ;)

They're much taller and bulkier than the GDF dudes;

Whilst I haven't taken a photo with him next to GDF dudes they are generally around the 15mm mark. I hope that helps!

What a cool project. There have been alot of "almosts" out there, but it's about time someone did a proper space marine in 15mm, and the price seems to be rather a bargain for multipart minis.
I don't do 15mm minis, but good luck to you and your kickstarter!
I have to admit though that when I saw the title I thought Ral Partha was doing a KS re-release of these old oddities...

I found those oddities whilst googling for any other space knights that might exist to see who's toes I could be stepping on... Shame you don't do 15mm though.
Anyway;
Just over half way of the course of the Space Knights Kickstarter and after being successfully funded we’ve added a lot of exciting, new Space Knights as stretch goals to the project. We just need YOU to make it happen!

Quick question. I am not sure what happens with the stretch goals at various levels of backing?

I've posted updates onto the Kickstarter which explains what you do should you wish to include any of the stretch goals as a reward.
Simply put though when you come to reply to the backer report that is sent out at the end of the Kickstarter you merely answer the questions I pose to you, one of which will be "Did you want any of the stretch goal Space Knights? If so please list them"
You then tell me there which one's you'd be after. It helps if you send me a message when making a pledge listing out what you want. As when looking I'm looking at the backers your message is saved and sitting there waiting for me to read at any time.
Let's say you wanted the multipart Space Knights delivered in October and any stretch goals you wanted delivered in January I'd appreciate an extra £3 for postage.
That's about it! if that isn't clear or you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

You're welcome :)
Also just to let everyone know the Kickstarter is in its last few hours. Time to pledge if you haven't!
