Hi folks, I'm pretty much an observer on this board as I usually make super hero minis, but we've branched out and made a few scifi minis that might be pretty familiar to quite a few folks.  We've also spent some time working on creating some rules to go with them.

Have a gander around the KickStarter page to find out more!

Pretty nice but I didn't find a mention of shipping costs. Surely it can't be p&p included anywhere in the world?

Not a fan of the sculpts myself.
I do like that they are bringing out their take on XCOM

Cool! Pledged for two squads of humies. Will be excellent for my Cyberpunk games and they are really good value.

@tnjrp: for me (the Netherlands) it was $5...so peanuts!!

Hi guys, just work up and had a chance to check out this thread.

@tnjrp - if you pretend like you are going to pledge it will give you the exact S&H.  The amount charged is the actual amount to ship it.  That being said:
terror - $9
soldier, navigator - $13
engineer, commander - $19
Keep in mind that you are getting over a pound of lead at engineer and almost two pounds at commander level.  It was compounded by the fact that with the MDF ships at that level they don't fit in flat rate boxes.

@beefcake - Glad you like the vibe at least.   ;)

@malebolgia - Thanks mate!

Sorry, that may have been a bit harsh. I like the bodies of the greys and the very top miniatures. It was really just the grey heads that I felt lacked definition. In hindsight that may have been a gross overgeneralisation. Then I took a look at your kickstarter and saw the humans and they look great, especially the alt heads!

No worries Beef, if you're going to produce minis, you gotta have thick skin :)  This is an industry of highly personal preferences.

I'm on board at a low level, aiming for terrors.

I'm in too.  I really like the dropship.  I think it will be useful with your para-military minions too.

The terrors have landed. Very crisp and clean models, big enough to appear menacing and very characterful.
My only problem is that I have come up with 3 different colour schemes and can't decide which to use  :D 8)

Not painted yet, I'm afraid, they only landed today.
One painted one on the Kickstarter page:
