Now we are waiting for the rest of the prototypes (we will have it all together at the end of february) and we are designing new rules and missions for the Karnak campaign. In a few days we will post an update with more info

"A few days" meaning "more than a week" in this case

Hi,

We haven´t recieved yet, but we will have in a few days the prototypes of all the vehicles and the first production runs. Also we are working in the Spetsnaz and the Genociders to be launch ASAP

Nothing new after that...

I was wondering hos this was going. (couldn't remember the name) Guess no news at all then.

New update 

Hi!

These last weeks have been very stressful for us: after doubting a lot, we decided to change the company that was going to make the minis for TE. As there arose some problems with this company, we were obliged to make this decision. Fortunately, we have found a new company and the production process has already started at a good speed.
We already have the first models of the Glorlon Soldiers and Colonial Troopers! In this video you can see the level of the details of the minis and the general quality.

 In a few days we expect to show you more images of the minis finished.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed until further updates but I'm having some doubts about all this...

This does sound somewhart like some other companies that have run into unexpected problems with delivery...

My main problem is the money the've spent on the initial company. Will they have the money to really produce the miniatures for the KS? 

[tnjrp]

It's a wee bit difficult to say how much money they spend already, not being privy to SG inside intel. Probably more than nothing of course.

On the plus side, the miniature bitz look clean and nice enough on the video.

Some painted figures, from their FB page 















Looking good!

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

nice,indeed  would be nice to see them compared to the Afterlife Minis which are similiar in Style imo

[tnjrp]

Does the one without a (proper) helmet have a swan neck or what

Some more news about the figures (from FB replies):

Sentinel Games These are production models, the same you will receive

Sentinel Games The tanks are now in production, hope we can post some pics in few weeks

And when asked about the delivery times:

Sentinel Games the miniatures will be finished in a few weeks. I´m only afraid about the bases, hope it will be on time

[Commander Vyper]

Look a bit like the nice paint job is masking some detail issues unfortunately.  :/

New update:

...The miniatures (except for the Raider as we had to make the prototypes once again to correct some flaws) will be ready in 10 days. Also, we have carried out some playtestings that made us change some statistics of the units (mainly for the Glorlon) and some rules, but the "skeleton" of these will be the same as we published in the Beta rules during the KS campaign.

...Unfortunately, we have to announce that it is possible that we won´t be able to deliver the rewards in June. We have miscalculated the production time of one of the main elements: the bases. After having redesigned them for several times so that they fit perfectly we understood that we delayed the delivery several weeks. For the moment we can´t give you any exact date but we believe that the delay won´t be very long. We are very sorry for this and hope that when you have your rewards you´ll be able to forgive us.

And some images:
