Glad to have you back.
Any news on the Operation Red Veil that you had pre-ordered for me in July, to settle what you owe me?
-
PM'd
-
Now that's interesting. I still have a ton of old RIFTS stuff, but that Glitter Boy alone would be worth it - I just hope they fix those awful striations on the production models.
-
Oh yes speaking to sculptor these are all going to be removed these are the first prints.
Only being done for demo games, so not close ups.
-
Neat models and ones I'd even want to pick up (just for some of the generic sci-fi stuff) but I think this project is absolutely doomed. Shame too.
-
PM'd
Replied to your email.
-
I am certainly keen for the Glitter boy mini will watch this for sure.
LGW
-
Wow, that glitter boy looks neat. Will you have a Juicer miniature as well?
-
I am painting a Juicer Sniper at the moment.
-
Is there actual hope that KS is going to really happen? And if it does will be fulfilled w/o major roadblocks?
I am hoping so as that GB is left. SAMAS and Dog Packs to boot please.
I myself am very skeptical.

My honest money right now is on "no". That being said, there are probably enough Rifts fans out there who haven't followed the debacles regarding this project who might fund it. Whether anything comes of it once funded or not, is...unknown. Between the relationship to a Palladium IP (i.e. Kevin Siembeda) and the mayhem regarding one of this project's key guys...I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.
Selfishly, I will admit I hope it happens and somehow gets produced - I'd love to get some of the Rifts minis (SAMAS please! oh...and some TGR while we're at it) but risk-wise I wouldn't go near this thing. (insert Sad Panda) :-I
-
after reading through some of the past regarding the Palladium i am now uncertain as to whether I'd back a project like this now.
shame really as the Glitter boy, Juicers and dog boys are what I really want...

Elysium,
Thanks for posting the pictures. The pieces look great. Unlike the others I am hopeful for this project.

I third the *demands* for SAMAS suits.
I totally thought they were the coolest thing in the world in my youth.

Oh I am hopeful. I am also a realists, especially with whom who has to be dealt with and the track record that goes with him.

I have seen SAMAS in smaller scale. Can't recall if it was GZG but not sure.

Think it was the Scene, they did the attack bike as well.
-
I'm a big RIFTS fan and would love to see the KS come out. The images and printing are amazing.
-
While not one of there, here is a kitbash I am working on.

It was weak in the game, but for me the heat was the X-10 Predator. I loved the SAMAS but really preferred Triax stuff.

Love this thing.

I have finished off the first batch of figures sent to me, and they are now back with Rogue Heroes for them to film their demo videos ready for their Kickstarter which is starting this Monday (3pm Canadian time)

I will be getting some more figures to paint in the next couple of weeks.
If you want more info please see links in first post as I am only the painter and unable to awnser any questions.
-
Lovely work. Btw, I'm still waiting on your latest promise...
-
Awesome images from Chitown.

Rifts Mini Kickstarter eh?
Anyone considering this should google the Palladium Books Robotech Tactics fiasco before committing their money.
I'm not going argue or reply to any comments - I'm just suggesting people inform themselves.
-
It's already on Kickstarter, with a delivery date of...2019 lol
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rogueheroes/rifts-board-game/description

Great painting!
Ah Rifts... That brings back many a happy memory.
We played the crap out of that back int eh early 90's. :D
-
We should probably start a separate thread to warn people off of this project - but the mayhem has already begun in the Kickstarter. Peoples accounts being deleted, some shouting (from the creators) and the guy who had issues previously even is using a new name, etc. lol
-
Not going near this one. Then again, I've never forgiven Palladium for wrecking Primal Order with pseudo-legal bullying way back when so that wasn't happening regardless of Robotech shenanigans. It is kind of interesting to speculate about what the gaming world would be like today if his threatened lawsuit had actually killed Wizards of the Coast before they released Magic the Gathering, though.
-
I was a Rifts fan along time ago, but decided to get out. I hope this really makes it?????
-
I try to remain very positive, as it's about gaming and gaming aught to be fun. With that in mind, i was actually pleased by the kickstarter update this morning suggesting that core set could be a pretty attractive set .
$130,000 - full color rule book.
$140,000 - Unlock a CS Skelebot Squad -- five Skelebots added to the box game (all the same pose). Skelebots are the Coalition's hunter-killer robots programmed to seek out and destroy D-Bees, mages and other enemies of the Coalition States.
$160,000 - 2 additional double-sided set-on tiles added to the Boxed Game.
$180,000 - 2 additional heroes added to the Boxed Game; Body Fixer and the City Rat. The Body Fixer is an underground doctor who treats heroes and enemies of the Coalition States. The City Rat, a tough street punk armed with cybernetics and street smarts.
$200,000 - Additional Coalition Dog Pack added to the Boxed Game, for a total of 8 Dog Boys and 2 Psi-Stalkers in the box. Dog Boys are genetically engineered bloodhounds and trackers who can sniff out and psionically sense magic users and psychics. Psi-Stalkers are human mutants, psychics themselves, who command Dog Packs to hunt down mages, psychics, and other enemies of the Coalition.
-
I third the *demands* for SAMAS suits.
I think I may actually have one of these, as well as the skycycle. If anyone is in the SF Bay Area and wants it, drop me a line.
I think it looks like this: https://palladium-store.com/1001/product/MI8009-Coalition-SAMAS-1-Miniature-Pack.html and this: https://palladium-store.com/1001/product/MI8010-Coalition-Sky-Cycle-Miniature-Pack.html
Anyway. Carmen intends for the game to hit retail, so the safest bet is to wait for retail or for it to be sold from the Palladium webstore.

Hello Simon I am still waiting for the Skitari Miniatures , I bought from you last August. Are you going to send them to me or at least answer on any of the many PMs that I have send you ? Lovely painting by the way !

Sad to see that I'm not the only one that was scammed by Simon. I'm wanting on him since 2015...
He usually promises to sort everything out when someone does a topic like this but then disappears again (although he keeps coming to the forum - we can see it on the "Last Activity" tab on the member page).

You don't need to worry it was cancelled 2 days after the start. It seems everyone assumed it was just another palladium front for getting more money.
