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.

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

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.
Here's Lena Petrova...

Magnificent! :-*
I'm always baffled by your colour palette.
nothing complex, but so effective. 8)

Going to see lots more of these wonderful miniatures here - funded!

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.

Glad it funded was looking close though..!!
