Love the concept scetches, and I WANT to love the sculpts, but they don't quite live up to them, imho... especially the 'tentacle-fatso' dude.

I am not saying they're bad scupts, far from it. And I realise it's very difficult to get all the details from the drawings just right into a sculpt. But this range seems very promising, if you're looking for alien menace that isn't your standard xenomorph with bad teeth.

Only 7 days to go before this kickstarter ends, they have some intresting designs and some of their concepts look good but I dont know if they will get the funding for some of the last goals like the intresting stealth swarm warrior sneak soldier, I put a pludge in for some Alien hunters, who could be used in any futurestic setting form soilders, mercenaries to terrorists, Alien Hunters and bounty hunters.

The Dreadnought has been unlocked. It looks very cool. So even if you're not into wormies there are some cool futuristic alien hunter types. I
ll be getting some of these too.
Great deal for lots of minis from a small company. Great communication throughout the kickstarter too. I wake up each morning and find 2 emails ready for me.

I'm a backer of this, looking forward to getting the finished models!

Outstanding designs, really hope he does well with this.  Looks like he'll easily get to the Fiend at $24K so that gives the xenos three different big nasties.  $30K isn't unlikely at all, especially since it unlocks the alien hunter heavy weapon (giving them seven infantry poses plus the dreadnought's variant arm options) and the Stealth xeno.  That gives the folks who are mostly (or just) buying alien hunters a lot more to look forward to.

So, what to use them for?  I'm thinking maybe statting them out for use in Sedition Wars when it comes out and have a different kind of infestation on Alabaster would be a plan.  Maybe Blasters & Bulkheads too - put a little horror in my space opera.  Some of them will be making an appearance in the local RPG campaigns too - as dungeoncrawl nasties and as an invasion force for the supers game, most likely.

I suppose 40K players might find a use for them as well, eh?

I may use them to bulk out my tyranid force with some different looking beasties. The hunters, if I get some, will be good to go into my Tau mercenary force. The worms will also look good in the dungeon I'm creating.

I'am really looking forward to them, the thing that always put me of doing 28mm sci fi was the lack of a good Alien range/race. You had to turn to GW etc to find that sort of thing and I have always wanted to avoid that.

I will defo be getting some of these, and have already started getting 28mm sci fi stuff as a result in prep!

Last three days now, and he's got the concept artwork for the big Drone assault transport critter up.  Still needs about $9.5K to reach that stretch goal, but that would also unlock the not-Predators, the human heavy weapon trooper, grub swram bases, alien eggs, the Swarm Master, and the not-Cthulhu Overlord, so there's quite  abit of impetus to get there.  The $50, $100, and $200 pledge levels have all grown from good to great value through stretch goals, and he's even got a human-stuff-only level for those who don't want the xenos.

And the concept art for the Overlord is up:

Another $8 in the next two days to get him made, but boy, what a model that's going to be.  Supposed to be between 6-8" tall and mounted on a 120mm base.

about 2 hours left and less than $1000 to the $50K stretch goal!
