A civilian version is a cool idea. I think besides losing the weapons you could make the back seat wide enough to fit two people.

Yes, and useful for big game hunting on the wilder fringes. Though, given that the "English" often tended to prefer stalking their prey on foot with only a stupidly large bore double rifle for company, an extras pack might be worth consideration so people can customise their walker according to their national taste. Tea urns, picnic hampers and beer barrels spring to mind.

Think positive thoughts. The extra commission money would pay for the headache tablets  ;)

And... we're back to The Deadliest Game.

No fear, Tin Shed; if necessary, we can adapt it ourselves.  ;)

I must say, reminds me of dreams of possessing a certain build by a certain Midnight fella, back when I was just beginning my long and boring string of posts. To think the possibility of someone as multi-thumbed as myself owning such magic does give me chills.

Doug,

There's been nothing mentioned that can't made.As it would only take a little tweaking of the master to accommodate these ideas as options.It's never really a question of money ( As its increase is Always welcome )But that of time.There's a limit to the pace any project can move at.No matter what tricks of the trade you employ .If you cant move deadlines then the amount of changes you can make are limited by budget and time.

Sorry, I was intending to express my understanding of your headaches, not add to them by requireing an explanation.  ;)

It really is an exciting time. And not the curse of 'interesting times', as far as gaming goes.

Any idea when the mentioned Kickstarter might happen?  The miniatures look great by the way!

Joe mentioned it back on page 3. he has missed his initial date (15 dec) so I guess it could be anytime now, or Jan 1.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

2019 Painting Challenge :
figures bought: 500+
figures painted: 57
9 vehicles painted

Hi folks and thanks for your patience,

Oddly as I get more done the range gets pushed back a few weeks. I had a talk with the sculptor and feel in two weeks I will have the Command pack (Which is only Missing the Mounted Colonel  Lady Grey) and the Hales Organ and its crew which is a cross between a hales rocket and an Organ gun (its referred to as Hales Organ). I will also have the massive Prussian Walker in hand and an idea what to charge for it. In the next days I will have an image or two of a complete variant of the Calvary where they are firing pistols. I have a unit of six almost done and they look crazy..

Jan 15 seems like a solid no nonsense date and on the other end I will shorten the KS from two months to six weeks. The guys and gals from Pulp Ally also agreed to provide cards for the KS as well for notables, free of charge, which is pretty cool because it is an awesome game.

Thanks again..

Joe

So, infantry, command, two types of cavalry, rocket artillery and a walker or two....I can't wait!

The line looks fun, but be sure to spell cavalry correctly on the Kickstarter!
