[KICKSTARTER] US-IMF sci-fi combat vehicles (15mm & 28mm)

[Antenociti]

Hi everybody,

Apologies for being a little slow off the mark here, but better late than never!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2097161002/us-imf-28mm-and-15mm-sci-fi-armour

We've got a 15mm & 28mm Kickstarter rolling for the entire faction from our Governance of Technology range of combat vehicles.
We're doing this in conjunction with Stephane Chasseloup who has a successful range of low-poly models for computer gaming - we're taking those and adding all the detail from the textures into physical detail on the 3d models (and thus into resin).



We've already unlocked some rather great stretch goals, but here's where we are up to today:



Prices vary a lot due to scale differences and so we've done the pledges to allow you to pick whatever you want within a certain money band - and then given each band (we've called them Ranks) a free promotion that gives you additional spending power. e.g. if you pledge £300.00 you get to spend £390.00 at survey time.

There is quite a long lead time as there is going to be a  lot of models and it's better to deliver on time, than promise too early and be late.


With the Kestrel having just been unlocked:



The next couple of stretch goals are to expand the Eagle Assault Craft and Kestrel Attack Craft so that they both have interior cockpit detailing and clear resin canopies.

Neat kit.

Very tempted, although the year lead time is slightly off-puting, even if I do understand the reasons.

Aye, it's a bit of a catch 22... the lead time will put some people off, but it's realistic.

Could promise it all in 6 months.. (but we wouldn't be able to  do it)

Extremely cool designs. I'm trying to justify vehicles of that size/firepower in the small skirmish games we play. Usually, they end up as terrain or objectives.

And while I appreciate the honesty in the delivery time, a year is quite a wait. In fact, lead times like that have tipped me to backing off KS altogether. Better, IMO, to wait for the figs to be available at regular retail.

looking forward for the mechs ni 15mm size...when they will be available on the shop...not now

[Antenociti]

Stretch GOals now fully released

(Slight aside, but to quell anything before it starts)

********
We've been informed that "a certain other company* has an identical model to the Ogre.
Having checked with the owner of the IP - Stephane Chasseloup, - that *other company* do NOT have permission to use his model, nor have they ever.
We do.

I guess it still beats the Brexit. Even tho it'll end a few months late...

Will probably have to pitch in for something there, once I find a time for a closer look.

The problem is that the Kickstarter is to fund the production, if it does not make the targets it might not get made.

Saying that, I am a fine one to talk, I tend to only buy stuff at shows (and shops) - lift capacity limiting expenditure ^__^.

My wallet lives in fear of the Salute freebie bag being an IKEA style shopping bag.
