[KICKSTARTER] DLD Productions - This is War!

[Predatorpt]

I've been reviewing some of the models and they would be great to use with "Tomorrow's War" or any other near-future ruleset. There's models for the Neo-Soviets and for their NATO/whatever opponents 

I'll keep checking the original thread on TMP to see if there are any news.

   <irony alarm is sounding!>  Great!   

I don't need a temptation to complicate my retirement down sizing plans with a scale I never used!  This might force me to seriously consider dropping something else to fit 15 mm Science Fiction into my retirement plans!!   

On a cautionary note, as stated on the TMP postings (which I actually broke down and read,) there has been talk of this before - when it is really happening then - and only then - will I seriously consider what I would need to give up to get into 15 mm SF.        

His stuff looked great back in the day.   

Gracias,

Glenn

There are some nice vehicles there but there is definitely a need for a few tweaks... the wheels are too close together on some for a start.

That said, the designs would be fairly easy to translate in to a 3d modelling program so the tweaks would be easy to sort out. I'd be interested to see just how much money DLD will be going for with the Kick Starter though... plastic production isn't cheap and if they are after making a selection of vehicles, it will be in the hundreds of thousands of pounds to do it.

I guess we'll just have to see how much of the DLD nostalgia stands up to be counted once the Kick Starter begins...

Their dropship is just pure awesomeness by the time I saw it they were long out of production

If they were to produce them in plastic... Oh my days... :drool:

Ok, here's their official FB page:

And some news:

"Ok...folks....so here's the "official" scuttlebutt.....yes...we are working on bringing DLD Productions back into the miniature gaming world. A couple of things to go over....the plan is this, to have all of the 15mm resin kits that we had/have in production, and convert them over to plastic injection kits.....several reasons for that move....the other is that we will be introducing our own game system for use with our vehicles.......PLUS our own line of troops based on our universe! So, the photos you see here are just the concept vehicles until we get them into plastic......yes....we are going to be doing a Kickstarter to get the ball rolling....please stay tuned......as things progress, we will update this page and the official website when it is up and running again.

For now, however, we are concentrating on the 15mm line.....at this time.....we would love nothing more that to make the 25mm kits in plastic injection! But, one iron at a time folks....so hang out.....take a look at some of the pics.....and start figuring out your army lists!

Thanks!"

So....just so everyone knows and understands......the owner of DLD Productions, will be at Brookhurst Hobbies, ( 12188 Brookhurst St Garden Grove, CA 92840, phone: (714) 636-3580), every Sunday to play the new game system, "This is WAR!" by DLD Productions. A 15mm scifi/futuristic ground based game system. It's fast, it's brutal, and it's WAR! Come out and play a game or two with the owner....kool vehicles,...easy rules.....fun times will be had by all!

Their site is now up:

Or at least the start of it...

I think I'd buy a few just to see if it'd get David to dabble in resin again, and MAYBE bring back the FRD. 

Breath-holding commencing...

Last update from the FB page:

The gentleman that was doing our concept art for the troops, has taken ill, and cannot maintain the project. So....we ask that his health be swift, and that he will return to us fully restored. In the mean time, we are looking for someone to step in and do some concept drawings......2-3 troop figures for the 4 Factions we have. If someone would be as so kind as to step up and give us a hand, it would be greatly appreciated. Contact us through email, please. Thanks!

Shame it's only 15mm

Shame it's only 15mm

 

But if it succeeds, I'm sure we'll get 25mm vehicles
