Sentinel Games: Total Extinction

[tnjrp]

There's a handy counter on their site as well:
http://total-extinction.com/

The counter says "the battle for Karnak begins" so I guess we now have the name of their starter set. We'll see if that translates into a big box format launch -- hopefully it won't be of the miniatures board game variety

From what I've read in their FB, it will be a starter box a bit like the Operation Damocles one from AT43.

Very nice stuff. Like the Elohim.

Looks like Battle for Karnak is now fully confirmed as a starter set:

Lots of Halo based inspiration here. Not sure re renders tbh.

Update 

Due to bureaucracy we are obliged to postpone the campaign launch of Total Extinction till the 22nd of October. Finally we´ll run the campaign on Indiegogo.

[tnjrp]

Let's hope their dodging the bureaucracy won't mean they are going for a flexible funding campaign. I don't predict a huge success if they do

ETA: I got this by prodding them on the F-book:

We are a Spanish company and Kickstarter only allows the USA, the UK and Canada based projects. Our first idea was to launch the campaign with the help of a British representative, but we couldn´t do it. [...] The campaign will be fixed funding."

So it's still all good as far as I'm concerned. Not in too much of a hurry to stress my credit card currently either so even the slight postponement involved is actually a bonus.

Lots of Halo based inspiration here. Not sure re renders tbh. 

I'd say the theme is more generic... Personally I don't see the Halo equivilents, and although the vehicles and combat armour are quite cool, there is just something about the whole scene that makes me feel 'meh' about it.

Of course if it was in 15mm I would probably show a little more interest, but thats just me.

And it's back to Kickstarter!

From their FB page

After a few days of stress we can confirm the launch of Total Extinction on Kickstarter on the 22nd October

But of course they still have several days to switch things around

More seriously, even tho it doesn't matter to me which one it is, I do think they'll have a much better chance to succeed at KS than at IGG.

Yes, KS is much more "visible" than IGG. But I'm still wondering why they didn't bother to post on TMP - can't beat that kind of publicity

The only thread I can find there is one by the "famous" Tango01...with 1 reply....

As for news for today, there's a little video with a painted miniature:

I really like those Glorlon, specially painted with those colours.

I haven't seen anything official from them on any forum. But then again, I don't "go out" much. There's been snippets on TTGN and BOW about TE as I recall but can't say if the project start date or changes thereof have been mentioned even on those. I suppose they'll send something over once the project starts tho and lo and behold! there's a small news item on the former about the new KS start date already (you just had to scroll down a little bit further than I bothered to do at first):

Just found this while searching on Google:



It seems to be a Army Box for the Union of Colonies faction. I know it's just another rendering, but the vehicles look really good (specially the new missile carrier).

@Predatorpt
Nice Find, I hope the finished Tank models turn out as well in the final product, well have to watch this kickstarter very closely.
