We have been mulling that over and we will probably go that route because we are very small and it would take forever if we don't :( we want to have sum WIPs pics first and we haven't decided if we are gonna use kick starter or indiegogo. Both have positives kick starter is well respected but Indiegogo allows PayPal which Kick doesn't do yet. We hope decide soon

Hi guys, just wanted to give you a look at some early artwork for the Renault Battle suits we have planned. This artwork is still early and will be full color when completed but i just wanted to give you guys an idea of the direction where going with this unit ( may even end up on a t-shirt as part of a perk). This is one of the units we would like to do along with the first light infantry sets for the Consulate and Iron Will. We still have not decided if we want them to be Obliterator sized or Dreadnought sized, if anyone has any thoughts we would be glad to hear them. This is also why we are probably going to do some sort of kickstarter later this month becuase of the cost to sculpt and produce these guys as well as the other heavy infantry, so we will see. Anyway enough babbling, give me your thoughts ( by the way the little squares on his front will be reactive armor plates once the art is fininshed) Thanks for looking guys.

Like it a lot, and nice how the head is "true" to the Renault tanks. My one hangup about it is that it's a bit 50's B-Movie robot in it's shape. This is not necessarily a negative, as a retro feel is what you are after (I think).

Be very careful about this. Cheap is good but not pricing to bring in some money for the future is really bad.

Yeah one of our artists has a thing for old school comics designs so I'm not to surprised by the look. Retro is especially good for these but will see when it's finished how much else he may add.

Well my goal is too make enough to ensure that all the factions get put on a table, your right it can be a very tough balancing act on profit or failure but like all entrepreneur it's trail and error.

By the way we have added the early fluff and version 1.0 forcelists for the Free States Alliance as a free PDF on our website. There very different from the first two factions, we wanted to give you a little taste of something different to check out. Here is a look .

Well we decided to put the game up for possible funding on Indiegogo. We just couldnt wait any longer with the sculpts we have in the sculpting pipeline and wanting to get the rest going as soon as possible. If anyone is interested in helping out we have some very good perks that can carry over into the next few factions as well, especially if we can go beyond our modest goals by enough.

We also threw in the opportunity to help us decide which factions should get miniatures next if we are successfull enough with the campaign. The Free States Alliance is already set as the third faction but we need a fourth to pair it with so we gave people the option to pick between The Conglomorate (Russia),The Royal Kingdom (UK), Scavengers (militia,rebels ect.) and Sosei Tech (Japan). We currently have the Consulate light infantry and Iron Will heavy infantry in the sculpting phase but to complete their whole units and sculpt the Iron Will lights and Consulate heavies we will need support, hense the campaign. With enough extra funding we will quickly move on to sculpting the second two factions.

If your interested in helping you can go to Indiegogo and look us up in the gaming section or the link below. Thanks for looking guys.

Best of luck guys! I sadly don't have much cash to spare at the moment, but the moment i do I'll try and send a little your way. Here's hoping you make your goal!

No worries, thank you for the kind words. It is greatly appreciated!

Hi guys just wanted to give anyone interested a look at the finish artwork for the Renault battle suits. We also have WIP pic of the first Panzer Trooper sculpt up as well. We are having artwork done write now on the Royal Kingdom and the Scavengers. The Royal Kingdom (UK) much like the Consulate will have there own even more massive battlesuits, since the Consulate has Renaults its only right that the RK have a Mark 1 version battlesuit! Just imagine a walking Mark tank with multiple guns in its shoulders ( just like the original Mark had as sponson weapons). Any way we hope to have pics and more before the end of this new month. Again thanks for looking guys!

Well at the very least it should make the Mk I (male) and Mk I (female) a bit interesting

Yeah I'm hoping they look suitably Mark'sh especially in the frontal design and sponsons. The Brits themselves mightbe a bit modern in headgear, we may just go with the beret they often wear now over the pots cuz that starts to fall into the warzone problemwe had with the Iron Will troopers :(

Hey guys just wanted to give anybody interested a glimpse of the 15mm versions of the Iron Will heavy infantry. I think for 15mm they came out pretty detailed, they are almost finished ( have to do a couple more poses) and then we can start having them produced. We are still working on the ideas for many of the extra factions at the 15mm level and would love input, many of the possibilities can be found on the Trench page on our site. Thanks again for looking guys!

John D Law wrote:Thanks. Yeah we are fortunate to have access to a wonderful artist. We will be very happy if our sculptors can get close to the original artwork. We should have color artwork up next week of the Consulate great war looking battle suits. Hence the name Renault HA-1's . Thanks .

Keep me up to date, I would LOVE to be one of your first consumers.

Will do! Thanks for the kind words

John D Law, those miniatures are incredible. Do we have a ETA for the first wave of them? or even for pre-orders

Yeah, i just put up on the website an email address people can contact about unofficial preorders for the 15mm Panzers. They could be ready by this time next month, the same may go for the 28mm versions. The first versions of light infantry for both 28 and 15mm are about two months away but maybe sooner We are in the process of doing more artwork for other units and may even have the Renault battlesuits available around the same time as the light infantry.

oh wow! will 28mm and 15mm be out at the same time, (That way I can use the miniatures in both your game, and in a warhammer 40k army)

Thats the hope For sure the 15mm should be ready, we have one pose of the 28mm versions done and another underway. So that ones a coin flip.

ooh could we see pics of the 28mm?

There is a very rough pic of the WIP from a little while ago a little farther up the page below the Battle suit color artwork. The sculptor who is doing the 15mm Panzer troops is doing the 28mm versions as well and will send everything to us at once when their completed so i am still limited on pics for the bigger guys until then :(

This is an amazing idea and the sculpturing for the miniatures and the artistic designs are awsome! IF you get the chance though, I think an Australian based (WWI of course) design with the tin hats would look awsome

Hi and thanks! We are still discussing the role of Australia, we have thought of them being a part of the Royal Kingdom faction or allies maybe. Either way they will get at least a unit for sure!

I Agree with baxter123
