I don't know anything about the sales of vehicles by similar manufacturers, so that's difficult for me to judge beyond my personal opinion.

From various comments passed in various threads here previously, the general comments from manufacturers tend to imply 28mm modern vehicles don't tend to sell in numbers sufficient to support their production.

You might argue that sometimes the problem is with the choice of vehicles they tend to make though, but either way making a 28mm vehicle available can be a gamble all the same.

Yeah I rarely see Modern Vehicles sell well...because they're always either MBTs because the sculptor feels like making a tank no one will ever use in a game, or they're extremely expensive (see the technical unfortunately).  Some good die-casts can be found, and I have a small stash of the old Corgis (not cheap either!).  Shame really but you see the same with most resin WW2 vehicles, just too darn pricey for what they bring to the table.

I've been following this for a while but have now just backed at intelligence level, absolutely love the sculpts and been impressed with your campaign. I think i'll struggle to narrow it down to 12 sets!

Bit of a random request but I would really like to do some anti-poaching operations (ala Skirmish Sangin's 'Rhino Wars' scenario). I would love to see some models in that vein. Although I imagine that lots of the existing sculpts could be used for rangers/poachers.

Seems like the Nigerian's have been unlocked this morning as well.

Best of luck guys.

Great idea. When I was in high school I thought I'd like to go into anti-poaching.
I'd have sucked at it ;)

Thank you very much everyone! We are very pleased that the technical has been unlocked as we really wanted to test the market with this one.

To receive the technical you must add on an additional £25 to your pledge, this can be done at any level!

Now everyone pledging at intelligence level or above will get 7 free figures and the weapons cache - that's over £20 of freebies!

With 24 hours left, if you are on the fence now is the time to become a backer!

We are aiming for a 3 month turn around from the end of the KS to the miniatures being dispatched. All the sculpting is done, so the only wait time is the moulding and casting - which may take a little while as there are about 22 moulds to be made!
