While I agree that "single-species" has less of an aftertaste to it and is more neutral, I'd advise everybody to calm down a bit, and consider that all involved aren't native speakers so thoughts might not translate as well as intended.

Hopefully the Indiegogo campaign will fund, but there seem to be plenty of small companies out there who manage without it. Effigy Miniatures springs to mind - one guy, small range of figures (granted, he's closed, but that was only because he found full time work as a sculptor with another company :D).
AFAIR, Effigy used a kickstarter both times he produced new figs.

@PF

I sincerely hope that the IndieGoGo succeeds, but sholud it not, pls consider putting the figs up for pre order and see if you can get the moulds made that way.

I don't really know how much it costs to get a mould made, but there's a lot of interest, especially in the Loor.

If all else fails, then I hope you'll consider selling the line to another manufacturer, for the purely selfish reason that I want to get my sticky fingers on your figs.

I really want this project to go through, and it has very little to do with me getting cool new toy soldiers. I mainly contributed to this because I want PF to have enough starting funds to get his business going. Don't get me wrong, I still want my goodies. I'm just more interested in seeing a talented sculptor kick start his business. (I supposed I could have said 'Indiegogo' his business, but that doesn't make any sense.)

Yes Please

there are by far not enough good aliens available, and a multi-species corps is simply great.
I must say I found the idea with the Lantern Corps not bad either.
Could this be solved with a set of arms? To broaden the target group?

Hello,
I backed this yesterday at Section leader level.

I think the "alien legion" theme is great but I fear that a lot of potential backers just don´t know about the campaign.

Perhaps someone could make a post/thread about it on on forums like dakkadakka. Some Tau players might be interested in an alien multi-species squad.

I really hope that the campaign succeeds.

This in spades.

That's sort of what I was getting at, as in don't lose heart if it doesn't. PF is a fantastic sculptor - hell get success sooner rather than later and hopefully with this crowd-funding project.

Hello,

I posted an update for my Indiegogo project with a few combinations for new aliens:

And two pictures of my first loor with colors:

Thanks for watching (and double thanks for reading considering my english :D )!

You sculpt and paint stuff of this quality and then thank me for watching?!



The pleasure is all mine (and your English is very clear).

Thank you for the kind words bu well:

..."so you can see some modifications to the squad is feasible" ...  lol

And there are others.;) Not to mention the syntax, the lenght, etc.

Let's say english isn't my native language and isn't taught that much in my galaxy so I suppose I have an excuse.  o_o

I've just pm'd PF, but wanted to add a public thanks for the Shocktrooper and Loor figures that he sent to me, completely unsolicited, at the weekend. The figures, although test casts, are very crisp and should paint up a treat.

A very kind gesture and much appreciated

Thanks again PF :D

Cheers, I personally think it's a  no brainer for lanterns or even non combatant aliens.

@PF I've just posted about this on WAMP as I hadn't seen it there.

I didn't have any pictures to post, but have pointed them to your blog

Here's one of them painted: the "death bot" version (body 3 +head 1 +arms 10).
