Subject: Shieldwolf Miniatures - Official News & Rumors thread (KS-3 video teaser Sisters armies page #73)
You've caught my interest with that melding of two armies although I'm a bit worried given the sudden retraction of backed weapon options the last time around. Also, for the melta armed wolf sister, whare are the elbow joints simple cubes? Could you make them more faceted and angular like in the art instead?

@Warboss
We will be adding more weapons in all these new sprues, exactly because we'd like to avoid past issues of miscommunication. As for the elbow joints, we are open to feedback just like on the previous campaign :-)

@Kid Kyoto
Yes.
Yes.
Wood. Well, why not, that would have been the cheapest :-p
(they are all resin cast by us, but should the project go ballistic we have done all the legwork and have calculated pricing for HIPS; in which case we will be giving the option for every resin vehicle to get 3 in plastic instead. We would be ecstatic should we do this well, but we prefer aiming first at our main target, i.e. funding at least the first 2 kits)
@Mr. Morden @schoon
Thank you :-)
@Sining
Very reasonably priced, you'll see for yourselves :-)

The side doors and front panel are removable pieces so to allow adding side or front weaponry.
Hmmmm love the religious tanks. I could definitely get behind owning a few.
What are your plans for casting them in resin? One solid brick, multiple pieces to heat form back into shape before building, or a hollow shell with just a bottom piece and some fiddly bits to add?
@Wehrkind
A solid brick would make not only the casting process more complex (the slightest mishap would cause it to flank QC and get the entire thing tossed away) but also double (or even triple? I don't know) the amount of resin required. We've been there with the Mammoth and designed these differently, also because this allows for various parts to be concealed once assembled (unlike our big fury beast).
The tanks are going to be hollow and the resin parts are all going to be thick/solid enough to withstand abuse (accidents do happen). Same part design will be followed should we manage to hit the plastic tooling funding target, with the difference that it's going to be in many more parts (since HIPS doesn't allow as much flexibility as our silicone moulds).
There was also mention made already as to the fact that the scifi girls only are 10 to a box, as opposed to the 20 you get with the fantasy girls, and stretch goals should help double that up.
If that's the case the 100 dollar army is a pretty good deal if that comes to fruition.
Curious what these further future armies we can unlock will be like they talk about in the video.
