The axe being on as different angle along with the base having gaps between it and the second larger base (ass that a glue stain in the very front join between them?) makes me think it could be a physical version.

I think there's no doubt, really. People sometimes need more context - Titan Forge makes incredible minis that are totally faithful to their renders. It's just that their communication / follow through is lacking (a lot), but the product quality should not be in question - they make the best resin casts of any company I've ever dealt with.

I'm very interested on this kickstarter for potential Alpha Legion/Ultramarine Heresy era conversion purposes but as so many have pointed out I'm wary of Titan Forge due to past behaviour.

Today Titan Forge posted up some pictures of the scale of the Dropship. Remember that's still very much WiP.

Aren't these 1/32 scale models? Would they actually blend in with a 40k army?

I wouldn't be blending them in, more using a couple just as a quick modelling or painting project. I don't play 40k so at best if becomes a large display. Just been inspired slightly by the Mk IX rumour thread.

if you on on the kickstarter page (on P1 of thread) near the bottom is a size comparrison picture with a GW cultist.

i like the deamon as a demon prince/bloodthirster conversion!!

I really, really love the models. And I do like the models I finally got from them. But do I need another "Daemon Army"? I have a nid counts-as to work with my nids and a dark mechanicus counts-as to work with my Iron Warriors. Do I need a pure daemon army?

And do I want to chase them if my stuff doesn't come through again.

The discount on the actual bundles makes it very tempting. A similar GW army in comparison to 4 daemon bundles (1 of each and a second "Tzeentch" one) is almost twice as much.....

Dude, you've posted in this thread I don't know how many times to say the exact same thing.. we get it..

Pretty sure I've never:

Stated my previous Daemon armies and if I need another one.
The difference in cost for a daemon army through this kickstarter vs. a gw one of the same models

I might have mentioned my issues getting my items. Because they are legitimate issues. I might have mentioned the bundles are pretty much their only good discounted item (they are).

But that doesn't mean I didn't add something else or can't add to the conversation. But good looking out on jumping on someone for being tempted to jump back in. You're a credit to the Titan Forge fan group

Hulksmash - sorry man.. there's no way to tell tone via text :/
It read to me like you were just saying that you didn't really need another demon army and just complaining about TF. My bad, I really did mis-read your tone.


I know people have had problems with these guys but they are taking a pretty big beating and it gets a little old. I mean.. look at the title to the thread even.. it's got a hint of a dig to it.
I hope you do jump on board but if you're worried just jump in small. I definitely have reservations, but I'm in it for that airship.. so I kinda have to go all in or it won't happen :/

Yeah, I actually read it as Hulk being tempted to get in . I've certainly been lurking the campaign page and considering it... I really like those marines a lot. Just wish it wasn't ending right now...

I hate the timing on this too but I know I've got a tax return on the way to help offset this.. The guys with the exo frames and the dropship are just hitting the exact notes of things I need for what I'm trying to do with my miniatures. Near future sci-fi with a hard sci-fi theme and video game aesthetics.. yup..

If I can get the Striders from Deadzone cleaned up and assembled it'll be a total picture

My taxes are going to be amazing this year because of the astronomical amount I have paid in. So this is still really tempting for me.

I am glad Ritides put his two teef in. How does a pledge manager work after the campaign?

Not sure about their PM.. someone mentioned being able to add after but you might want to ask in chat.. or hopefully someone will chime in here with more specifics..

They're running a Facebook contest right now. If you are in at least at their lowest actual pledge level ($32) and you share their post you could be one of 3 to win an additional $160 worth of stuff... that's a whole bundle's worth.

And I'm back out....because this happened:

It would be unfair to forbid that as people with more than one KS accounts could buy multiple pledges. We decided that you can buy multiple pledges but either:

1)You will be charged shipping for every pledge and receive all freebies that comes with them

OR

2)You will be charged only for shipping of your highest pledge and you receive freebies only from the highest pledge.

This is aimed pretty much exclusively at people who were considering multiple bundles and flies in the face of what was communicated to me via messenger. At least they saved me around $600

You're upset that they are blocking people from cheating the freebie system? With $64 that would be 2 free squads... they would literally lose their asses..

If you pledge $500 you get free shipping with level 4 plus 2 freebies (and another from the stretch goal), and you can select bundles with the value of your pledge, right? The bundle pledge levels have no freebies so this is the best way to go afaik, and has free shipping included.

RiTides - I think they said the shipping is the only one you can't double up.. half off shipping is the best they can do.. From that interview they did on BoW they got screwed pretty hard by the shipping company from metal beards so I kinda understand where they're coming from.. I did bitch and moan about the shipping costs though..

I'm upset that they changed what they communicated to me. It's that simple.

Especially since they already over charge on their website on the euro to dollar conversion by a significant degree. Which means their's MSRP isn't accurate on their kickstarter as you can order under Euro and basically be paying the same amount for the existing items right now as the kickstarter is offering them for. And shipping on their website is far cheaper or free when you get up into the amounts of the large orders (which I was considering).

The models are pretty but I did the math and honestly something like this isn't worth going in for less than 25% off. And that's what you're really at when all is said and done.

I wouldn't get too upset Hulk, Mlaw is their white knight (which is fine, everyone has the right to support their company of choice, I would defend this more/back it if I could trust TFG,) who is very quick to defend against online forums. I mean that with the least amount of salt possible BTW. Regardless, before I found this thread I had googled "Dakka Titanforge kickstarter," and saw the two prior campaigns along with their failures. I digress however, and to avoid sounding like a broken record...

I ask if anyone else noticed that they keep changing their stories and the BoW article came across as an apology instead of "we should fix our mistakes?" I am still on the fence as the casts are good, plus they have lowered the part count and they (sometimes,) eventually deliver. I don't want to wait forever to get a small pledge, nor be stressed over chasing TFG via email. I have also noticed a lot of backers have dropped their pledges (including myself,) to a dollar which does not fill me with hope either.

Oh and people are saying some of the KS stuff is already retail. It would be nice if their website would load so I could see for myself. I keep getting "server failed to send data," from their website. :/

OMG.. the same two people over and over..

Just to put the nail in the coffin on that rumor about the other pictures just being rumors.. here are the untouched photos.

Yes, a few of the kits are available in the store. Everyone from Reaper to Mantic and a whole bunch in between have included pre-existing product in their kickstarters.. you guys are looking for ridiculous things to blame on these guys. Let's stop kidding ourselves.. you're not on the fence about this. You're finding reasons to troll this thread and have no intention of buying. I fell for that shtick once but it's too obvious.

No more jabs at other posters here, please - either discuss the campaign specifics or do not post. Both sides have made valid points, but it's time to bury the hatchet (at least publicly, feel free to continue via PM) and allow people to discuss Titanforge and their campaign here. Any questions, please PM me.

I have a question, that I must be missing - level 4 pledges have free shipping for all their contents, including bundles if you select them, right? Or is that not the case? I thought that was pretty clear but maybe I missed something.

Do you mean if you get this and tack on other stuff you get free shipping on the other stuff?
I would think so but that's just a guess on my part. I just asked in the comments section.

If the Dropship gets unlocked, I don't think I'll be able to resist!

Yes, but I meant even without adding on - can't you use those 10,700 points to buy bundles - for instance, the Marines, Moto, and Terra Bundles total together to 11,220 points. So I thought you could basically use the $500 pledge level to get 3 bundles (covering the difference since that was slightly over the points allotted) and get free shipping, plus the freebies that come with the $500 pledge level (3 freebies plus free shipping).

Oh yeah. the army listed there is just points.. you're right.. I'll change the wording on the question..

I think doing that under their new rules puts you 1.5 freebie ahead of just ordering 3 bundles. Assuming non-early bird on all 3 bundles.

Here's TF's answer
"If you buy a lv4 pledge you have free shipping for everything you order. You cannot buy a bundle for 150/160$ using funds from your lv4 reward but you can sum up all of models cost and "assemble" a bundle for yourself (every bundle is summed up in the left bottom corner) it will be a bit more expensive than buying a bundle reward but in return you will have free shipping and 2 freebies more."


EDIT: Remember that the freebies can get squads.. not just the jetpacks and heads and stuff..

So, they really, really don't want to provide any real discounts on this.
