We've started a new Crowdfunding campaign over on Indiegogo.
Campaign link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/6mm-scale-armies-wave-3
It's 6mm scale scifi, so probably mostly not of interest to 30mm gamers, but maybe our 10cm tall giant battle robot might be of use to those looking for a medium sized war robot...
Cheers!

Hm, looks like an updated version of an Adepticus Titanicus Warlord Titan.

Well, considering the last two were for IG and Orks I shouldn't be surprised. I was hoping for something more original however.

Maybe I just missed it in the description, but what material will you be casting these in? Metal? Resin?

Metal; I'll be sure to make that clear!

Our plastic sprues are currently on a ship somewhere in the south china sea; we expect them in the UK in ~3 weeks, at which point we'll get the pre-orders dispatched & make them available on our website too.

What sort of thing do you mean? When it comes to 6mm people will always want to play Epic; so it makes sense to make some stuff that suits, especially now that GW have washed their hands of it.

Something that isn't IG vs Orks, now with titans and Marines? I don't know. It's great people want to keep epic alive and there's obviously a market for it. When it comes to 6mm the big name is... A dead game. I can't be the only one thinking something new and fresh could do well.

Weapon Upgrade Stretch Goals now unlocked for our Leviathan Stalkers - again, since most here prefer 28mm, this might might make for good 28mm scale robots?
Otherwise, you can probably ignore us. :-)

Got some of your War Stalkers. Love the design and build of these... even if it took me a few minutes to realise where the head was!
Here's my feeble attempt at painting them up...

The War Stalkers come with 40mm bases (they're a bit bigger than the old Epic Knights, I'm going to use mine as Warhounds).
Edit: I took this pic when mine turned up, the plstic knight on the left is about the size of a 28mm figure.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

With a bit of conversion, those would actually make pretty nice Thallixi counts-as for 28mm...

But why? They're the same price 35 vs 36 gbp.. harder to convert metal vs resin and don't really look like thallax..

Ah, didn't see the price, I assumed they'd be cheaper than the FW ones by quite a bit. But if it is that close, then I agree it's not really worth the effort.

They're also almost twice as tall as the thallax.. 9.5 cm is like 3.75 inchs and the biggest thallax I think is around 2" tall

Are you talking about the one in the OP? I was talking about the middle one in Riquende's post, which seems to be around that sort of height.

The War Stalkers are £22 for 5, which includes a small 'stormbolter' looking weapon and a CC hand for all 5 (actually one has a sword arm as well), and you get a pack of 3 'special weapons' to spread around the squad.
http://www.troublemakergames.co.uk/webstore_DiD_CSWS.htm
I've been trying to get E&C to make the special weapons available separately (or make a new pack to widen the variety) but no luck so far...

I'd like variant War Stalkers to happen as stretch goals for our current crowdfunding campaign, but we need to build up some steam first. :-) Automatically Appended Next Post: Paradigm wrote:Are you talking about the one in the OP?

As Riquende has pointed out, our War Stalkers are already released, and are £22 for a squad of 5, that includes a selection of weapons.
They come on 40mm bases, which gives you an idea of their height.
The Leviathan Stalker is a new model in our current crowdfunding campaign that is much larger than a War Stalker, more like the height of a Contemptor Dreadnought I think, if you want a Forgeworld comparison.

With another stretch goal reached, we've got a few new items available, including these guys, Cybershadows Warcrabs...
At 4.5cm wide, they're perhaps useful for 28mm gamers as combat robots?
