I know all the cool kids play 15mm, but I'm too heavily invested in 28mm to switch, esp for a skirmish game. What are the chances of seeing more 28mm greens?  It's the figs that are going to sell me. Or not.

+1

I don't really need another set of rules either. But I wouldn't mind some more near future street scum and/or civilian types, in 28mm.

Most of the figures look like they would fit into just about any Post-Apoco scene.

+2 :)
And also, will it be possible to buy single miniatures in the future?  or they will only be sold as gang sets?

Yep, there's that too. I might be inclined to get all of the hackers from the various gangs but am not very interested in all of the other gang members necessarily. I'm thinking I might get the Russians and the Chinese from the KS.

Yes, I'm very keen on those hackers. The rest? I don't know yet.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments. We do plan on selling individual figures as well as gang sets. The gang sets will be a better value, but our philosophy for this drive has been to offer as much choice as possible, hence our decision to go with both scales.

I would love to provide more sculpts to show, but unfortunately, two of each scale is all we have room for in our pre-kickstarter budget. We're using Kickstarter to actually fund the sculpting and casting of our figure range. If we had the money to produce the range, we would have already done it.

We've funded the sculpts that we have through sales of our previous game out of our own pockets. We've gone to Kickstarter because the range cannot be produced without it.

I know its not the answer you want but that's the reality of the project.

You can see the sculpt we have so far and the the concept art below. I think the sculpts are pretty faithful to the artwork.

Thanks guys,
-Joe

Not sure if it's possible to get a bit more polished concept art bitz done before the KS closes? If it is, it wouldn't hurt 'cuz the current sketches unfortunately aren't all that appetizing. Personally tho I made my pledge based solely on the hacker figs shown (even after seeing they are from the last sets to get funded). They look very nice and more importantly ubiquitous.

Now that is something I can get working on. I'll give the concept art a bit more polish this week. Hopefully I can get the Yakuza done this evening.

Interested. Are you going to be at Salute again? Wouldn;t mind getting a hardcopy of the department rules.

Blimey!

Will all these planned Salute purchases require a trip to the nearest supermarket first to 'borrow' a shopping trolley?

Planned and actually purchased aren't always the same thing  ;)

I have had my eye on the department for a while though, mainly because of this thread:

I actually just logged in to see if this kickstarter had been posted.

I hope that more people pledge to it, it looks like a great game, and the buy in can't be beat... $30 for a fully playable game?

It reminds me a bit of the old computer game Syndicate, and I really hope this one makes it.

This is the kind of kickstarter that deserves the support... the ones with great vision, without the funds to complete. That's what kickstarter is supposed to be for in the first place.
