Hello everybody!

We have finally put our Dwarf Halls up for sale. There is the basic hall here and the Grand Entrance is here.















We have a few other Fantasy kits and some Science Fiction kits, too. They are all laser-etched MDF. Check out our website here and please tell us what you think or want to see on our blog.






Our previous Dakka thread is here.

The Dropship is up for preorder here.


The Hellbadger dropship is now available for pre-order
Posted on June 21, 2013

024

The AB-9000 Hellbadger is the premier armoured dropship for today’s budget-conscious military or corporation. Rated 10 out of 10 by BS Power and Sycophants in the fields of survivability, firepower and affordability, the Hellbadger is the ideal combat dropship for any class-M warzone. Perfect for rapid insertion and deployment of specialized strike teams, the Hellbadger sees use with more elite forces than any other vehicle in its price class. There is no finer dropship for heavy close support, clearing a deadzone of hostiles or hot extraction of valuable corporate assets. Five out of five surviving mercenaries agree: the Hellbadger is in a class of its own.

And the Hellbadger can be configured into the sexy civilian model, the AB 9000 ELX Overbadger Deluxe. Fully loaded with rich Corinthian amnioleather trimmed in supple hawk down for the discriminating royal sharehoilder or celebrity, the Overbadger Deluxe is the only sensible, stylish way to travel. Handcrafted carboglass and Demascus-Statham armor provide a quiet, soothing ride, discouraging assassination attempts while Armenigildo Guillame inertial customizers cushion the occupants from any unpleasant socio-corporate dissent. No member of any gender can resist the charms of the Overbadger Deluxe. The Overbadger Deluxe is the superlative dropship of first-class excellence.

Customer testimonials:

“The Hellbadger’s saved my grizzled, old perineum more times ‘n I can right recall. The three most important phrases in the space infantry are ‘yes sir,’ ‘no, sir’ and ‘get to the dropper!’” –Sergeant Whitman Price Haddad, retired

“What is best in life? To crush my enemies; to see them routed beneath me; and to hear the amazing soundsystem fidelity in my Overbadger Deluxe.” –Arnold Braunschweiger, famous comedian

“It may not look like much but it’s got a cloacaload of blastcannons where it counts, kid.” –Caesar Sooze, rogue mercenary bounty hunter

I like the warp portal, but I guess it's not intended for actual sale?
I just might have to get some of those nano or circuit wall sheets to make my own Necron Monolith (I use the original 2nd Edition Necron models, so the current monolith doesn't quite fit the aesthetic).

Man, I really want those Dwarven Halls! I need to move house pronto so I have room to store scenery!

Definitely the best take on that sort of thing for the price I have ever seen.

40 euro (ish) plus postage for a square foot's worth of halls is pretty good! I could get a 4 by 4 board for 160... O_O

Oh whao. I love thows Dwarf hulls.

Since they are on 6"x6" squares it means with a few sets you could make a nifty little modular table. And you only need two sets to make a 12x12 board, for 4 to make a 24x24 modular board.

I love it. Like it alot more then the sci-fi coradors for the reason in all honesty.

The Warp Portal was designed as a promotional model to give people an idea of what we could do. We are planning to make a less legally risky version soon that we can actually sell.

We would love to accomodate anyone who wants a boardgame-ready version. None of us own a copy of Dwarf King's Hold, so we don't know what the tiles need to be like. What would make our halls compatible with that game?

Or do you mean trying to become an official tie-in product? I think Mantic already has an MDF terrain company they used for Dreadball.

You know what you shoudl do? I see most of the dwarven themed pieces are actually separate, you should try to come up with just a second set of decoration and market those as a steampunk, dare I say Malifaux, table scenery.

Please tell me more. What style of terrain works with Malifaux? Or Dwarf King's Hold for that matter?

We are planning to add some new "skins" to the tower and the Dwarf Hall parts. Just not happening as quickly as we would like.


EDIT:
Someone mentioned paint trays in the other thread. Does he mean army-themed trays? What are you guys looking for in a paint tray?

Your stuff is seriously impressive. I'll probably wait until you have a few more things available then do a bulk order, since postage from the USA is a bit nasty nowadays.

On an unrelated note, it might be worth you guys picking up a copy of each of the three DKH games as well as Project Pandora (and Space Hulk) as they are all excellent miniatures-themed boardgames I am sure you and the team would enjoy. You might even find them inspirational.

At some point later on, you could release some "Dwarven Lord's Crypt themed dungeon tiles" and "generic space ship/station corridor/room tiles".

Malifaux is basically anything from mid-nineteenth to first decade of the 20th century, with either a european or american feel.

I've been scoring a bunch of mdf sheets to act as basic flagstones for a steampunkish city.

I got my order in, by the way, it's waiting for me at home. I damn love my postman who leaves my stuff up two flights of stairs in front of my door, safe from my neighbours' prying hands! I'll take pics and review soonish.

Too excited to post pics. And it's late, I work early tomorrow. But the bag of stuff from the corridor kit is big. I wasn't expecting as many gubbins and stuff. This is going to pimp-out my space-corridor table admirably well.

I REALLY like those dwarf halls. Though I have to spend quite alot to build a properly sized hold, or even cover half of a board with it if I wanted a significant amount of the terrain to take place inside the hold. Any plans for large combo packs? Enough to cover a 2'x2' square or so?

Just a quick trio of pictures to show the veritable pile o'stuff you get with the space corridors kit.

The details are plentiful, crisp and everything goes together admirably well. If it seems askew, it's because I haven't glued anything, it's just leaning against each other. Rather than just use them as corridors in and of themselves, I will be using those to spruce up an existing board, so I have more than enough to make that work.

If future stuff matches this quality, they'll make a repeat customer of me.

We will be putting up big bundle deals and combos soon. We are just trying to figure out a way to make it fair for people who have already spent a lot of money on multiples of, say, the Dwarf Hall or the Barricade. We don't want anyone to feel angry that they missed out but we can't really afford to ship out more free stuff too much. Maybe there will be some sort of angry points system...

One of our team has Space Hulk, Dreadball and Sedition Wars, as well as a few Fantasy Flight Games bix boxes. I'm not sure DKH or Pandora are in our budgets at the moment. Does anyone have any sample pictures? We are looking into KOW, too, and the possibility of doing movement trays or wound counters. That would probably be a bit farther off, though.

We are working on an abandoned dungeon version of the Dwarf Halls, as well as some fortifications for evil elves. Time is our biggest constraint right now so it might take a while. Even the laser cutter has a day job.

We do have a few stony textures that might work. It's taking longer than we thought to bring out most of our new products so it might take a while to get to anything steampunkish. Also, there are many companies making historical, Western terrain right now and we are trying to stick to markets that are more open. So it might be a while on anything too Western.

I'm glad you got your order. Thank you for taking so many nice pictures!

@Azazel: We will have to look into it and see if we can make them sturdy enough with MDF. Shipping might be a bit much on such large kits. If we were to make paint trays we would probably give them army-specific shapes and textures. Not sure what else would make them stand out.

I think getting the Pandora rulebook for $4,99 ish on WGV would do; that has pictures of the room tiles in it. I could take a few pictures from my rulebook for you, or a bunch of shots of all the separate tiles laid out? Don't have DKH myself though; just Pandora.

Great to see you're listening to our feedback.

When I mentionned American, though, I meant urban, and not western. You're right that that part of the market has good competitors at the moment. But generic, turn of the century brick and dressed stone buildings.

But your halls could easily be de-dwarfified into more generic tunnels and sewers. You could even make... furniture. I'm thinking bookcases, bars, tables and chairs, mantlepieces,

No worries. I was just using those pics to answer your question. I'm probably not after paint racks from you guys due to shipping and the fact that I can source them locally (and I want the acrylic ones). Scenery is a different matter.

Here's a non-detailed pic of DKH. The games are about $50 each, so not expansive and are actually quite fun to play as well. Descent would possibly be another one to look into, but the DKH/Pandora series have card tiles that are closer to cheap & nasty, so good for replacing with MDF. Descent's ones are much nicer.

I like Mathieu's ideas as well. Stuff like that can be used in modern urban games, pulp games anywhere from the late 1900's through to now, 28mm WW2,(Bolt Action!) even steampunk and 40k - as I don't think buildings need sprockets&cogs or skulls&eagles on them to fit those genres...

No, a distinct lack of those would be a definite plus, in my book. And they don't need to be made of plastic, at all.

And from the pieces I have, I know your level of details is more than enough to make each building interesting.

Just as a point of inquiry, how long does it take to, say, burn one of those dwarf hold tiles? I confess not to know how long doing these kits takes.

We do have plans to create some buildings to fit this time period, roughly. However, we are pretty far from making them. It took us nearly a month longer to get our Dwarf halls up and for sale than we expected so I'm hesitant to give out any expected release dates.

We are planning to turn the Dwarf Halls into dungeons. We also have furniture and some small accessories planned. Just can't say when they'll be ready. There is a lot of stuff we have at varying levels of completeness right now but don't have the time to finish properly at the moment. Usually when we design something we create some sketches, prepare a CAD mockup, print some prototypes, figure out why the prototypes aren't fitting right, tweak the designs, try to figure out why the next prototypes aren't working, swear a lot, and so on. We do have day jobs that keep trying to get in the way too. Don't get me started on our families.

Sometimes there is also the need to switch around our scheduled releases a bit in order to strike while the iron is hot. For example our next release, evil elf fortifications, might be 95% done. However, we might decide that we have a pressing need to revisit our designs that complement giant robots or Space Germans, which are only 50% done, so that we can release them while a lot of people still want them...

I guess if I have a point it's that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives.

In the fullness of time, we want to have all of these things covered. Right now, we are prioritizing which sets we work on and release based on what we perceive the demand to be and how untapped we think the particular market is. For example we might make a Chinese fortress/monastary/generic building to test the market since no one else it doing it, but we might wait until after we make stuff for evil elves, giant robots, dropships, and the like because we have a better idea what people are looking for in those areas. Or we hope we do.

Speaking of modern urban games, is it weird that we wanted to make some terrain based on the mall we used to work at? We were thinking "Zombie games or paintball", but now it seems a little weird.

Thank you. I have to give credit to Terry. He's the member of the team who really adds the details and makes everything look great. Also, he owns the means of production.


It takes about an hour and a half to burn a Dwarf Hall kit. Kits with more texture take longer. It's faster for the laser to cut out a hole than to burn out an indented section, so it's always tempting to reduce texture and just creatw everything out of layers only, but then it really tends to look like a balsa wood model.

The top parts of early 20th century buildings would lend themselves really well to layering, rather than just indenting, just saying...

Yes, Space Germans and Big Robots could be a big hit to work around. Have you seen their concept art for the next box? Buildings like those would be great!

Honestly, I don't think there is much economic potential in doing wooden late 19th century houses or paint racks (unless the latter are really fancy).
Keep on going with SciFi and Fantasy stuff. Waiting eagerly for your take on Dark Elf terrain.

Our new Warp Portal is up! Please let me know what you think.







We chose a design that can be scaled up or down fairly easily for anyonw ho needs a warp portal for their 15mm games or for some kind of giant robot. Depending on feedback, we may try to make other portal variations.


Also, we will probably have to raise the minimum order for free shipping up to $200 and over. (Luckily, this is like 20 pounds...or maybe more like 130.) We realized this after paying 60 bucks (5 shillings) to ship a package overseas, which ate away our profits, our hourly wages, and our floor.

Hopefully we'll finally get the prices and shipping worked out soon. Thanks for your patience.

For those of you asking for generic dungeons, what exactly do you have in mind? Do you want the walls to look like bricks and the floors to have a stone texture? This is what we are working on, but if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

Do I see it right that all details on the warp gate are just painted on, so the original is just an almost unstructured flat ring?
Don't think this will work then.

Post by: BobtheInquisitor


I'm pretty sure the detail is burned in. The teardrops are cut out and the symbols look etched. I have one of the prototype Stargates, and sometimes the etching is very fine, which makes it look painted on.

It could probably use some more details or contours, though.

Post by: Mathieu Raymond


I was going to reply, from the corridor set, this definitely is the level of detail that angry badger can churn out. Imagine having to paint it that regularly, for the whole wheel. I'd want to hire that painter.

It looks good. We know the influence, you're safe from IP infringement.

As for the generic dungeon, flagstone floors and brick walls would be amazing. Ideal. Dreamy. If I may offer one more item to the wishlist. Some of us might want to have the option of using that kit for sewers. Instead of having you design a "watery" (I'm being polite here) texture, maybe you could make a set of extra strips of flagstones, 30mm in width, so that we can raise the sides a little bit. They would be the walkways on each side of the miasma.

Of if it doesn't look high enough, two small sticks of extra mdf to act as supports to raise it a little further. It would mean minimal work for you, wouldn't add a pound to the order and you can charge 8$ or something for them.

Double duty dungeon. Am I making any sense?

They are being reworked and redesigned. Previously, the nano-wall corridors were an upgrade to the current corridors but that was not working out. We will make a new nano-corridor kit that will be available as an independent kit but it might be a bit pricier than the corridor kit. The nanowall takes twice as much material and four times as much burn time to make, so we need to find a pattern and price structure that makes the kit more economically feasible.

It looks good. We know the influence, you're safe from IP infringement.

As for the generic dungeon, flagstone floors and brick walls would be amazing. Ideal. Dreamy. If I may offer one more item to the wishlist. Some of us might want to have the option of using that kit for sewers. Instead of having you design a "watery" (I'm being polite here) texture, maybe you could make a set of extra strips of flagstones, 30mm in width, so that we can raise the sides a little bit. They would be the walkways on each side of the miasma.

Of if it doesn't look high enough, two small sticks of extra mdf to act as supports to raise it a little further. It would mean minimal work for you, wouldn't add a pound to the order and you can charge 8$ or something for them.

Double duty dungeon. Am I making any sense?


I just talked to Terry about how soon we can release our generic dungeon. We are striving for one release every week and next week's is going to be Fortress Walls (sort of Evil Elfish, but we haven't finished the big gate we had planned for the evil elves). So, the week after should be the generic dungeon, hopefully. We are working on a sewer upgrade kit, too.

And, of course, the drop ship. It's going to take time to get that kit right, though.

We've mentioned it before. We have been working on a dropship since December. (Please don't tell out competition!)

We had some sketches up on the blog but decided to take them down for various reasons, like they didn't look good, or we might get legal trouble.

I had a design that looked a bit like some kind of large, stormy bird. Terry's design resembled a tranquil glowworm type of ship. We have since been refining the design and discussing how to pull it off without it looking too blocky. Terry is thinking about casting some resin parts for it so it won't look like balsa wood, but I would prefer to have a basic kit for simplicity with maybe an optional upgrade set of resin parts, to keep the dropship affordable and to keep the engines from clashing in style with the fuselage. The process is long and involved. Progress is slow. People are dying.


Well, maybe not that last part.

Looks nice, and also looks like you could easily do a 'good' version with just a slight rounding/squaring of the spikey bits.

How wide is the walkway?

That does look like a pretty simple design for mdf. It looks kind of like our drop-shuttle design that may or may not ever get made. You might say legal concerns are of Paramount importance to the decision. Maybe we'll go a bit more generic and incorporate some cues from the Leopard-class.

We definitely want to do some nice good elf terrain, too. We are just trying to decide whether sequins or doll's eyes make better jewels, or if we should leave them out altogether. Also, we have to get other things finished first.

I will try to get some scale shots up this weekend.

Well, I think we are releasing the fortress walls first and then worrying about finishing the Dark Elf Gate. It turns out our fortress walls were too close together to allow a Hordes figure to stand watch on top, so we need to adjust the size and the fit, which will eat into the time we would have spent. Basically, we wanted to make the gate look like the enormous screaming mouth of a tortured face. We were also planning to add spikes and some symbols that look like cuneiform or bloody eyes. Of course, actually drawing faces that look scary as opposed to goofy is more art than science...

Any suggestions for what would make a Dark Elf texture? Mostly smooth surfaces with blasphemous symbols? Are the fortification walls accurate for evil elves?

Dwarf fortifications are in development. The archways are the same size and should be swappable. We are working on walls that would work, although Ihave no idea when they might come out.

Terry is leaving town for a month for business, so things are going to slow down for a while...

We are working on a generic dungeon now and an upgrade kit to make it a sewer. Due to the way some items are selling, we will probably get this kit out shortly after the fortification walls. Since it is mostly just copying textures we already have, it will probably be done before the Dark Elf gates.

Clever idea using the floor patterns as ready-made bases. Kudos.

Any chances of getting Dungeon tiles designed to fit the Super Dungeon Explore tiles? I'm much too lazy to make my own, but most pre-mades are very elaborate/pricey. I'm betting they would make a mint.

Some nice pirate-y terrain would be fantastic too - there are 2-3 pirate miniature games, at least one of which is terrain-centric, but nobody really caters to the niche. I'm betting they would be ... modestly successful.

Hello all,

I just wanted to update you on what we have been working on for the last month or so.

First of all, we have made some progress on the Dark Elf walls. It was a tough decision but we decided to scrap my idea of making the gate look like a screaming high elf face. There was just no way we could pull it off without making it look goofy. In fact, Terry won't let us post pictures online. I believe the consensus was a muttered "More like Santa's elves..."

So we went with skulls instead!









Please let us know what you think. We are thinking of keeping the outer wall smooth with runes or evil symbols on the inner wall or under the points. But if you think the stone texture works for elfy buildings, please let us know. We will also try to develop a "good" elf version and maybe even some more options for the gate than just "skull face" if there is demand. What do you think?


We also are about to release our goblin siege tower. (I am painting one up for Goblin Aid to auction off. I'm taking my time to hide my lack of skill.)












Oh and one last thing: There has been an unusual sighting in the lab. The video is blurry. What do you think it could be?






Angry Badger Terrain ($15 Flat Rate Shipping, Dark Fortress, page 7) @ 2013/05/22 16:31:53


Post by: TheAngriestBadger


I just want to point out that the skull design in the gate is etched in at various depths to make it a relief.

Yes, this technique can be used to make eldritch murals of long-forgotten elder things best left buried.

I love the drop ship. The rear stabilizer looks teeny tho.

Mayhaps instead of one vertical, two at an angle? Many of the next gen space plane concept have them. Despite being flat panels it manages to not be overly boxey, I think the straight upright just doesn't fully mesh.

 Ouze wrote:

The dropship itself is laser cut MDF. It's durable and sturdy, but also heavier than resin. Some of the detailed pieces will be resin, like the canopy and the exhaust nozzles and parts of the guns. The gun barrels themselves will be either aluminum or styrene rod to prevent warping or snapping. The weapons screw on to be interchangeable, but you can glue them too. This is still a prototype, so there might be some tweaks based on feedback or any issues that come up.

Also, we are working on a technique that allows customers to personalize their dropships by having us engrave their armies' symbosl onto the ships. (See the Angry Badger logo? That could be your logo.) This would probably be a slight additional charge over a the cost of a "vanilla" dropship, to cover burn time for the logo.

We are really trying to find a decent price for this model, but unfortunately shipping will be quite a bear because it is heavy and long. We will probably just include most of the shipping in the list price to prevent nasty surprises during checkout.



@HisDivineShadow Thank you for the suggestions. We really appreciate your feedback, and not just because I was advocating two tails myself. (I was going for more of a B25 or Seaduck tail.) At this stage, the details might be too fixed to split the tail altogether, but we might be able to change it somewhat to make it more interesting. We keep going over the design and improving it, but soon we'll have to walk away and call it finished. However, if we make any fighters or gunships, twin tails would be ace...

Probably.

That's why we want to "hide" the shipping cost in the price of the dropship. We want to have the shipping charge be about the same as it would be for the barricade kits, which is around $25 or 16-18 pounds(?) to the UK. How is that?


@HisDivineShadow, after discussing it, we will try a two-tailed version similar to your suggestion. If we can make it work, we'll put up pics (might be a week or two) and maybe even have two versions of the dropship for sale depending on feedback.

We are still working out the costs of all the casting and burning, as well as the development time. Right now, we are aiming at $130 -$150 including shipping to anywhere.

I can't commit to those numbers right now, though, because we still need to work out a less labor-intensive method for creating the turrets and sockets, as well as the big space gun. We also need to finish the landing gear. We are looking into making a flying base out of plexiglass, but that might have to be an (inexpensive, I hope) add-on for those who are interested.

I am liking the look of the wings swept forward. It makes the bulk of the wings look farther forward and more towards the apparent center of gravity.

As far as "dealies" on the tips of the verts, those are USUALLY (in my experience, at least), some sort of antenna. On the F-15, for example, the left vert's "bullet" houses an antenna at the aft end, and the right (which is much slimmer) "bullet" is simply a solid weight to balance out the left one.

I like the double tail and forward swept wings, definitely. Honestly, the closer it looks to a Thunderhawk the more likely I'd be to buy it, and happily pay $130-150. Not that I'm expecting a Thunderhawk replica, but I really do like the boxy shape of the thing.

We have tried acrylic and sheet styrene/plasticard and some other materials, too. Mostly, they melt. I think some of the acrylic we used had trouble with superglue, too. We haven't tried ABS yet, though. Thanks for the link!

I think our MDF is 1/8th inch or 3mm. We just made a huge order with a great supplier so that we could keep everything consistent for a big run, but Terry is the one who knows all the details, and he's in his cave now.

We hope to have pictures of the dorsal turret up by next week. Then we'll tweak things based on feedback and we'll be ready. We are also finalizing the guidelines and pricing we need to have in place for the logo burning option. So, hopefully we can start selling the dropship in two or three weeks.

Please give us some feedback on the Dark Elf walls. No one has said anything about them and it's a bit troubling.

They look great... I'll probably drop $100 on your site in the next month for 40k terrain... I'm torn between the 2 Dwarven Halls and 1 Grand Entrance, 2 corridor kits and a barricade kit, and a Dark Tower with some Dark Elf walls.... I will say, when it comes to covering a board with diverse terrain, the SciFi kits seem like the better deal.

I think they look great. They're what first made me start paying attention, since I was looking for some DE type scenery. About the only request for a change I could see is asking if it's possible to get an alternate front gate piece, as I like the skull, but I'm not sure that every castle/fortification needs to have the same gate ornament. Maybe an add on line of just that part, in various alternative decorations? As much tentacled Kraken themed imagery as you find in GW's Dark Elves these days, that might look pretty cool as the first alternate gate decoration. It'd appeal to the Cthulhuesque aesthetic, too.

Again, I'm not saying I don't like the skull, but I think giving the customer the choice to buy some alternate looks would do well.

Dropship is 100% into shut-up-and-take-my-money realm. Easy call.
The Dark Elf Walls look fine, but don't really "pop" for me. They're good walls, but they don't seem strongly DE. The skull seems, if anything, more chaos marauder than DE.

That noted, I'm also in the camp of some other commenters here, just waiting for the dropship before I get an order going.

Been kickstarter-ing so much lately it feels weird not just to pay for it now and wait

Pre-orders should go up in a week. Ideally, shipping starts on the 24th. There are just a few tweaks left.


We will make a Cthulhu-faced gate soon, but first we have to finish the dropship and put up the siege tower. We may bump around some other releases, too, if we have trouble getting the Cthulhu face to look good. If the first draft or two look as bad as my screaming elf face, it might be a while.

The turret itself should be removable. The barrels of the cannon fit over little nubs on a cylinder of resin that fits in the turret housing, so you can make any barrels you want out of styrene tubing, so long as it fits over the nubs. You wouldn't even need to magnetize it.

Most of the top, the thrusters and all of the wings and tails fit in pretty well using tabs, so you wouldn't need to glue them on if you want to have access to the inside.

Yes, but it's not directly under the nose, but farther back under the chainguns. It is smaller than the back ramp, but probably fine for any 28mm figures.

The dropship should drop in a couple weeks, and after that we will start seriously working on the Cthulhu gate. When that is finished, we can release it all...unless there is a delay on the Cthulhu gate. Then we might just release the walls just to get them out there. The gate has just been a tremendous hold up and a real party pooper.

The price will be about $140, which includes the shipping. The model is pretty much finished. We are just trouble-shooting the flight stand and putting together an actual production version of the kit to make sure it all works, then we will put it up for preorder by the end of the week.

The kit is mostly MDF with some styrene and resin detail pieces. Most of the top and all of the wings are designed to stay in place without glue and to slide out, giving you access to the interior and also to allow for future upgrades or options. There is no pilot model so that our customers can use a model in the scale and range they like best, although there will be some details inside the troop compartment and the cockpit. The dots are supposed to represent countersunk bolts, possibly the only aerodynamic feature of our dropship. There will be no rivet bumps.

The Hellbadger dropship is now available for pre-order
Posted on June 21, 2013



The AB-9000 Hellbadger is the premier armoured dropship for today’s budget-conscious military or corporation. Rated 10 out of 10 by BS Power and Sycophants in the fields of survivability, firepower and affordability, the Hellbadger is the ideal combat dropship for any class-M warzone. Perfect for rapid insertion and deployment of specialized strike teams, the Hellbadger sees use with more elite forces than any other vehicle in its price class. There is no finer dropship for heavy close support, clearing a deadzone of hostiles or hot extraction of valuable corporate assets. Five out of five surviving mercenaries agree: the Hellbadger is in a class of its own.

And the Hellbadger can be configured into the sexy civilian model, the AB 9000 ELX Overbadger Deluxe. Fully loaded with rich Corinthian amnioleather trimmed in supple hawk down for the discriminating royal sharehoilder or celebrity, the Overbadger Deluxe is the only sensible, stylish way to travel. Handcrafted carboglass and Demascus-Statham armor provide a quiet, soothing ride, discouraging assassination attempts while Armenigildo Guillame inertial customizers cushion the occupants from any unpleasant socio-corporate dissent. No member of any gender can resist the charms of the Overbadger Deluxe. The Overbadger Deluxe is the superlative dropship of first-class excellence.

Customer testimonials:

“The Hellbadger’s saved my grizzled, old perineum more times ‘n I can right recall. The three most important phrases in the space infantry are ‘yes sir,’ ‘no, sir’ and ‘get to the dropper!’” –Sergeant Whitman Price Haddad, retired

“What is best in life? To crush my enemies; to see them routed beneath me; and to hear the amazing soundsystem fidelity in my Overbadger Deluxe.” –Arnold Braunschweiger, famous comedian

“It may not look like much but it’s got a cloacaload of blastcannons where it counts, kid.” –Caesar Sooze, rogue mercenary bounty hunter

So head on over to and pre-order today for free shipping and a $25 merchandise voucher for other Angry Badger products!



Here is a blog entry with pictures of the completed outside (although the actual model will come with chainguns for both sides). Pictures of the interior to come as we find a suitable camera and photographer.

More photos are coming, including the interior. The cockpit has some (removable) details, but is meant to hold two 28mm figures on 25mm bases as the pilots.

I'm not home right now, but will try to answer questions and post pictures as I can.

We are working on the logo burning guidelines right now. We want to put up some examples, as well as have some legalese to cover ourselves. The plan is to burn the logos into the front plate, the wings, the back ramp (all removable and swappable parts for people who want options) and possibly some parts of the fuselage. There will be a $25 charge (and about 3 day addition to the preorder time) to adapt submitted artwork into a burnable file and alter the dropship design to include the logos, but the good news is that once we have your logo programmed in, we can burn it into bases for the standard cost of our bases, and for about $2 set up, into the landing pad and barricade kits as well.

Just send us a message if you want us to burn your logo.

Besides it looks like it flies on its engines like an f22 raptor, not prayer and trying to make physics laugh like GW's imperial flyers (the Valkyrie is a FW design and I consider FW a separate entity for designs).
It's a sci-fi cargo brute like the dropship from Aliens not a fighter, it can be a brick with wings and engines.

Here is our page for submitting your own custom design. Any design you submit, so long as it meets our stringent criteria of not overworking the laser programmer or getting us into legal trouble, can be burned into the dropship, the barricade, the bases, whatever. It is $25 to adapt your design, which means assigning depths and widths to the lines that are cut, as well as the pass order and well, a lot of other things that take time. Once we have your design, we can burn it into as many things as you want in an order for their usual cost, so 25mm bases with your logo would cost $10 for 30 and the barricade with your logo would still be $39.99 if included in the same order as the set-up fee. Once we have your design programmed, you can use it in any future order for a $10 prepared design fee, which covers burn time and some prep time.

We do have several prepared designs here, which are $10 to add to an order. For $10, we will etch the design you choose into every item in your order, such as the dropship, bases, barricades, etc.

Here are some of the ones we prepared:

Celtic Cross


Scarab


Fleur de Lis


Holy Roman Eagle


Maltese Cross


Omega (4 different styles, yet everyone wants them "in distress")


The Praetorian


Roman 14th Legion


There are more on the site and we are planning to add some more before the shipping date of July 8th.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that we are shipping orders out now and have been, but I didn't have a chance to come on here and thank you all for your enthusiastic responses because we had more orders than we expected and have been busier than expected! The Hellbadger Dropships are each being shipped in their own boxes, so if you ordered anything else in the same order it will come as a second package and may have even been shipped already before the 8th. If you ordered multiple dropships, they will each arrive in their own boxes.

We have hit a major snag with the flight stands. We found out that we could cut the plexiglass and give it a very nice finish on the edge, but when we tested out the flight stands we found out that plexiglass tears through mdf like...well, like it was made out of pulped wood. We have had some success making the base of the stand out of thicker, sturdier wood, but it is very expensive. The cost of making a flight stand that can safely carry a Hellbadger through tabletop combat conditions is high enough that it would probably put the product price into the neighborhood of $60 to $70. That seems unreasonably expensive to us, but what do you think? If you are interested anyway, please let me know.

Would two flight stands that hold up one Hellbadger be more cost effective? If you could make a pair (wood or plexiglass) of stands for around $20, I'd think those would sell well.

I'll probably take a dowel rod and a trophy base and drive a large screw through them... looks good, holds up, costs less than $10.

Needless to say, I'm pumped. Named this map "Blood Gulch"

We had a blast! Wave serpent jumped the walls and dropped off JZ with her banshees. Like a shotgun fight in a closet. It hurt but the Ultramarines prevailed. I made the wall impassable terrain, stairs real distance, ladders 2". Allowed leap downs on inside to still get saves, but outside at -1 no save. Doors were AV 13 HP 1 to breach, towers count as ruins. Worked really well.

Curious, do we know when dropships ship?

Hello everyone,

We just wanted to let you know what is going on with the Hellbadger orders. We have been shipping out orders in batches since the 8th. We should have all orders shipped by the middle of next week. There are a few reasons why shipping seems to be taking so long:

1) We did not have enough Hellbadgers ready to go by the 8th because we just didn't anticipate so many orders. We do appreciate the custom, though!

2) Hellbadgers take about 4 hours to burn, not including time for etching in army logos. So, it is taking a while to get all of the remaining pre orders burned. Orders containing multiple dropships eat up a lot of time.

3) The shipping method we are using might take 6-10 days for domestic orders and longer for international orders. Still, I'm a bit surprised no one has received a box yet.

4) We are using a third party shipping program. The program is supposed to email a tracking number (or customs number for international orders) to each customer, but we have reason to believe this hasn't happened. Please let us know if you have received a tracking or customs number.

Tomorrow, Terry will send out an email to each customer describing the condition of the customer's order and providing any tracking number or custom number, or the expected ship-out date if the order has not shipped yet.

Thank you for being patient.

Awesome, I can't wait until mine arrives so I can open the package, take a quick peek, and then put it away to sit unpainted for years.

You know, and this is the weird part - for the what bogs me down is painting the interiors. I don't have a rational explanation for this, but i always get mentally stuck on the idea of getting all the insides painted. If this doesn't have a lot of interior detail; and I suspect it probably won't, I might be able to get it done pretty fast. I don't plan to do any heavy converting on it, maybe add some minor lighting but that's it.

When I was painting Chimeras and Russ's for my nephew, I could literally bang one of those out from box to assembled, magnetized, painted, and dullcote'd in about a day and a half.

Got one built. Love it. Very clever construction. Gonna VDR a Shadowhawk from the IF Redemption novel. I think I'm gonna try and switch the front and back on the other, put a battlecannon on the turret, to make it more Thunderhawky. I'm traveling for awhile, so it might be a week or to, but I'll post pics.

Here is a work in progress picture of the Cthulhu Gate we are making for the Evil Elf Fortifications. It will be cast in resin as etched MDF just isn't imposing enough. Please let us know what you think. We will be adding more details and textures, as well as some spiny fin-things. We just want to find out now if we're going in the wrong direction before adding all the little details.

As a quick aside, the build quality on the Hellbadger is terrific. It's a joy to fit together. I haven't finished mine yet; but it's a very nice kit and not having to remove stuff from sprues is an unexpected perk.

The Siege Tower is now up for sale.



In the dawn of our world, before the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Beast came to our land with his siege towers and brought an end to the age of the great Walled City States. He slew king Jalad in open battle and claimed the City of Tanagra. He broke Temba wide open and put her citizens to the knife, and again at Shaka when the walls fell. He cleared the cedar forests from the mountains and filled the plain with siege towers to overwhelm Uzani, Zinda and Sokath. Devoid of worship, the old gods reposed in the Land of Dust. Although history has forgotten his name, the legacy of the Beast has forever reshaped our world.

“Siege towers work well for putting your troops inside the enemy’s walls. Much better than catapults.” –Trenor, orc overlord

“The army of Light thinks they can hide behind their ivory walls? Well, they’ve got another thing coming. They can hide but they can’t run!” –Gibzzit, goblin carpenter

“Siege towers are bloody awful. Death traps for the men inside them. Wellsprings of horror for the defenders. Their very existence makes a travesty of civilized conflict. They are, of course, an invaluable asset in our army.” –Gandric the Bold, Grand Knight of the Order of Mercy

This siege tower is designed for use with 28mm tabletop wargames and roleplaying games. It is not compatible with Monopoly.





In slightly related news, work on the Cthulhu Gate continues.

A couple of updates:

The Cthulhu Gate is getting a slight resculpt in order to avoid a technical issue known as "oops, let's try that again."

We will release the Evil Elf fortress walls soon, although the Cthulhu gate may end up as a separate item that just happens to complement the wall.

We are looking for a volunteer in Orange County, CA, who has some 10mm scale models and/or some 15mm mecha that we can borrow to measure, photograph and conduct cruel experiments. Please send me a PM if you would like to know more.

Some of our items have found their way to Brookhurst Hobbies.


And just for fun, here are some photos of the completed Hellbadger from the instruction video:

Angry Badger Terrain ($15 Flat Rate Shipping, Dark Fortress, page 7) @ 2013/08/16 07:18:57


Post by: TheAngriestBadger


The Hellbadger is about 19.75 inches long (or just over 20 depending on how you glue in the gun barrels in the nose), 14.5 inches wide in the wing span, and 5 inches tall from the bottom of the fuselage to the top of the turret (but not including the landing gear).

Good for you on getting some retail representation!!!

That pre-heresy KSons Hell Badger is really sweet.

I just finished converting some 10mm/15mm mecha, you can use a GW Sentinel as a stand-in, they are pretty acceptable. For a light mecha, anyway.

Unless you're looking for a leviathan crusader, then the upcoming release of the Dreamforge 15mm mini-levi might be right up your alley. Early September, rumour goes.

Hello everybody!

We are still making progress on the evil elf towers. However, we wanted some feedback on expanding into a new scale: 15mm.

15MM Barricade Set



Servograd, 2943. The flames of war burn all along the mecha front. The Axis of Space Teutons advance on the very heart of the Camradeship of Communist Cosmosoviet Planets. The Chairman of Steel, Brosef Jorelovich, commands General Turbolev to hold the city long enough to ship the last of the war factories to Cyberia. With only a hydraulic press and a cultural tradition of tile-compacting logic puzzles, GeneralTurbolev invents the Trubolev Tu-16 Barricade to stem the Deutschwelter tide. Quickly pressed from tank hulks, scrap iron, old tin cans, peasants, and unexploded munitions, Turbolev only manages to fabricate 22 thousand kilometers of Barricade. Later known as the "Stierlitz Wall", the barricade miraculously holds off the enemy for eight days and eight nights until the onset of Galactic Winter, winning the Great Jingoistic War for the Cosmosoviets and saving the Motherworld.

Now, thanks to the decline and fall of Stellar Communism, you can own a piece of history! Order your stretch of TU-16 Barricade today! Act now! Only 22 million segments left in stock!

"We have misunderestimated the Rustian Colossus. Whenever we destroy a dozen kilometers of Tu-16 Barricade, the Rustians replace them with another dozen." --Duhastmajor Rammstein, "The Desert Foxtrot"

"Jaegerstandartenführer Stierlitz, tear down this wall!" --Robo-ruppenführer Müller, preceding the Battle of the Punchline

"The enemy is at the Barricade! It is a question of life and post-human mind-upload." --Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Cocktail, Machinister of Violent Affairs





The 15mm barricade set comes with (20) 2 inch modular walls, 1 entrance wall, 20 straight walkways, 4 corner pieces, 4 guard towers, 2 staircases, and one tank gate.

Assembly and painting is required

I really like the 15mm Terrain TU-16 Barricade.

got quite a few games that could use them really well.

what would the pricing be for them?

I just realized that the link to the site didn't work. It should work now, hopefully.

The 15mm Barricade is $39,95 plus shipping for everything in the pictures and product description. Here is a link.


...So, we are thinking of trying to adjust our prices so that we can give free shipping on most of our products. This would help reduce the sticker shock on shipping and seemed popular with the Hellbadger. What do all of you think?

I had a look at your site and really love to get the Barricade kit 15mm but worried that postage to New Zealand will make it end up in the "to hard" basket.

Excellent. We would also like any feedback you might have on the 15mm aspect of the minis. Is there a specific type of terrain that is most useful in that scale?

If the 15mm Barricade does well, we would like to try expanding our 15mm line as well as trying other scales. How much interest is there in 6mm or 10mm terrain like the Barricade kit?

you might want to have a look at some of the Kickstarter projects that were 15mm and see what areas they will need.

for example All quiet on the Martian front is a Weird World War I style game where we see nations of the world battling Tripods from Mars.
or there is Battle group Kursk and Overlord that uses 15mm or 20mm scale set in WWII so if you did a concrete bunker style barricade or even tried some kind of trench system it would be great.

I am looking at using the 15mm Barricade for AQoTMF as they use alien tech to make new weapons and defences.

with regards to 6mm which would you cater to 1/285 or 1/300 scale as there is a difference it might not be much of a difference to some players but to others its quite a difference.
10mm is hard one to say as I have never gamed with that scale I played around with 1/285 scale and have upgraded to 15mm scale in the last year or so.

if you expand you range into WWII 15mm then you could cater to the All quiet on the Martian front, FoW , BGO, BGK and Battlegroup Fall of the Third Reich [when it hits in November]

be happy to test any of your products <wink> to see how it copes being sent to New Zealand <evil grin>

Cheers

Thank ou, Lord Greywolf. I'm looking into those a bit now. We are very interested in Weird War 2 and SF and such, but want to avoid going for purely historical kits.


On another note, we just added a prodect description text to our standard Barricade kit. Please let me know what you think.

The PF-388 Barricade is the latest, and final, word in perimeter security. Whether defending your manor, colony, island fastness or religious compound, no one protects better than the PF-388 Barricade. Twentyeight-fifteenths larger than the Cosmosoviet state-of-the-art in population suppression, the PF-388 is designed to withstand any onsaught imaginible, from rampaging zombies to ravenous robots, from implacable aliens to the destitute poor. No one walls you away from the unpleasantness of reality like the PF-388!

Customer testimonials:

"The PF-388 is amazing! It protected my island mansion from the Matrix Commandos. It eats Green Berets for breakfast! And now, it's very hungry." --Val Verde, President for Life

"The PF-388 is the culmination of six billion years of defense technology evolution. The PF-388 defended the Qing dynasty from the beast Humbaba, and again a thousand years later at the battle of Jericho. The PF-388 survived 15 consecutive Costmart Black Fridays. The PF-388 withstood Moon Nazis and Ancient Astronauts. Can't explain that!" --Professor Georgio A. Tsunkatse, Historical Station documentary expert

"The top secret [REDACTED] Foundation has found the PF-388 fairly successful at securing and containing [REDACTED], as well as protecting Safe and Euclid-desgnated facilities from [REDACTED]. Furthermore, the Barricades act as [REDACTED] in the case of [REDACTED] allowing for the successful reprocessing of class D personnel. Very handy." --Dr. Jack "B", [DATA EXPUNGED]



I plan on adding flavor text to every product over the next few weeks. Hope you enjoy reading it a bit.

PS: RITides, no badgers!

Hello everyone. We just wanted to update you with what is happening in the angry world of badgers. First, the big, bad news:

Our gmail account randomly deleted all but four (4!) emails! Having a long discussion about this (and freaking out a little), we've discovered that gmail has been deleting some of our emails randomly for months! If you have sent us an email that went unanswered, please PM us here on Dakka Dakka or on Facebook and let us know! We are very sorry for the inconvenience and looking into transferring everything over to a yahoo account.

(For example, someone contacted us about custom base bottoms, and the email went missing. I had assumed that Terry took care of the issue and simply followed an aggressive policy of email folder hygiene. He assumed that I had deleted everything for similar reasons. This would have been back in May or June.)

Naturally, this has pushed back some of our other work. We will spend some time next week figuring out how to reduce shipping or make it less of an unpleasant surprise upon checkout. Most of our customers are outside the US, so this is an important issue for us.

The Cthulhu gate is progressing slowly.

We are looking into the 15mm market and others as time permits.

Have you looked into simply shipping via First Class? It's been working really well for me for international shipping thus far (I switched over to it after USPS raised their international shipping rates exorbitantly this year).

Looking forward to the update

We have made some pretty big changes to our postage. The biggest change is the flat rate for shipping. This is how it will work:

Both domestic and international customers will see three options:

1. Standard (domestic) or First Class (international) - on some domestic orders this will be less than $15.
2. $15 flat rate
3. Priority (both domestic and international) - you pay the actual shipping cost and will receive your order sooner.

The most you will have to pay is $15, but it could cost less domestically, and you will have the choice to pay more for an expedited shipment.

We also have a couple of deals:

For the next two weeks, if you spend $200 you will get a $25 towards your next order.

We have a 4-for-the-price-of-three deal for the new 15mm Barricade.

The Dark Fortress is up for sale. I will post pictures later this weekend. (The Cthulhu Gate will be sold later, but will fit with the front gate on this model.)
