Hi everyone,
We've just launched a short Kickstarter project to fund production moulding of some robot minis... if that interests you at all, have a look here:

Pledged! I do like a nice small scale project like this and the robots will make a great addition to my collection. Good luck with the kickstarter!

They look good from some angles, and then from others, not so much.

Thanks! I'm a fan of small scale projects myself... it makes early fulfillment much easier!

To be fair, you could say that about me... apart from the 'look good from some angles' bit, obviously.


Oh, and while we're on, I want to apologise to OrlandoTheTechnicoloured, for beating him to the post by 11 seconds... sorry! I especially want to thank him for this bit, which I'm shamelessly copying from his thread:

Thanks!

Looking good, I have to repeat the above that these smaller kickstarters are a nice change of pace. I love the dwarfs I got from the last two.

I hope we see that dwarf clansmen ks soon so I can start building units my dwarf army

Thanks Ed!

I'm still a bit unsure of the dwarf clansmen idea... figures for mass fantasy battle gaming just don't seem to be selling these days; fantasy seems to be heading down the 'skirmish / RPG' route right now.
I really fancy doing enough figures for a full dwarf army, but I reckon there's only you and me who want them, and I don't think that'll work commercially!

In other news, the robots are funded, so thanks everyone!

Backed.
Need dem drones!

I will probably buy a few when they go retail, any plans for alternative weapons or a missile rack?

I'm in for three, but I'm actually more excited about the drones.

Thank you! We've got past the altered limb poses level, so drones will be next... (and to be honest, they'll be in there one way or another - I've already sculpted them, so it would be a waste not to do them!)

Not yet... there will either be alternative weapons at a later date though; it all depends on when I can next book time with the mouldmaker really!

More Oathsworn goodies! These look great, especially like the drones. I shouldn't pledge but these will be useful for something, even if it is only robotic paperweights!!!!

Being more serious, I must say, Oathsworn's casts are top notch and the minis are great to paint.

Thanks Robert!

I've posted an update on the Kickstarter showing the sculpting process for the warbots, if anyone fancies a look:

Makes sculpting look easy

In case anyones interested heres one of Micheal other project's wip blog Ravensrodd

http://ravensrodd.com/#home

Looks pretty promising.

Cheers Ed!

Anyway, we've unlocked a load of stuff, and basically pledges now get more bits. So every Warbot comes with a free Tactical drone, and a free Assault drone. The higher pledge levels get free Wrecked robots too. And there's a new pledge level, to let people just pledge for the smaller models if they want them... lots of changes, basically.

Those wrecks look great. Poor little cute support drone!

Annnnd backed.

The last one wasn't really interesting for me, but this one is definitely something I can put myself behind.

On an unrelated note, how's Freyja doing? Odin was really cool, but Freyja is my goddess to go by, so give her to me pleasssse.

New optional add on, movember facial protection.


vote now in the comments for your favorite optional facial attachments

Thanks guys!

Ed, I'm thinking it should be a full beard myself... but that's just the dwarf fan in me.

Freyja's moulded, but we are having problems getting good casts - the arm with the staff, especially, hardly ever fills. So we are in the process of tweaking the mould, and once it's sorted, we'll let you know!

One of our project's Stretch goals was for wrecked robot models, and we've been making some simple moulds to cast them in resin - there's a step by step break down at the link above, if you're interested...

These look cool. They have a vaguely Rogue Trader-ish vibe to 'em.

(Also love your "making of" posts. Please keep those coming.)
