The assault gun/tank hunter versions look superb. Not something I need or will buy into, but excellent design/look.

Any other backers here got their tanks?

Not the best photo of drying parts. Casting is OK though some parts did suffer from shipping.

Oooooh, this is gonna be cool!

Why does gak like this always appear when I am lacking in funds? I'm serious, it's like there's a cosmic force that knows I'll be sitting here whining about not being about to buy this stuff for the next month.

Still, very cool design - looks like a Baneblade standin?

That thing (luckily) does nothing for me.

The four tanks I received so swiftly after the kickstarter however!

Ooooo, nice.

Any idea when the KS will start on this new "spider tank"?

MERCY!

My wallet!

My free time!

Anyone tried to contact him for missing parts? One of my tanks was missing all main gun parts, and I get no reply on the email he has provided.

Yeah. Missing a left track. sent an email no reply either.

If anyone got an extra one of these that they don't need...shoot me a PM. I completely missed this but would've jumped on it!

Sent him another mail, still no reply. I see on the kickstarter page that many have still not received their tanks at all, and several mention missing parts. I guess he is swamped / getting stressed out.

His communication has not been great in general, but he has delivered to many people way before the deadline, so I am not very worried that he will not provide missing parts yet.

Strange. My emails to him have generally received attention in good time. Then again, I think I might be communicating with a different mailbox of his to most people these days (as opposed to the heavy support one I gave on the previous page).

Got my parts today, took about three weeks. No communication from him at any point. He makes up for the terrible communication with delivering at least

Still waiting on my order of ten, I'll be happy when they finally show up *sigh*

Just got my second order. Casting could be better, but I've had worse. Nothing a little greenstuff and plasticard won't fix.

2nd order? Do you mean a 2nd delivery, aka the tank hunters, or were you able to actually make a 2nd purchase? I know he said it was possible, but it's been so hard to get a hold of Marcus to actually work out ordering more.

If I remember correctly, the tankhunters and larger orders where scheduled to be filled towards the end of the year. Part of the reason why I only chose two tanks and skipped the hunter.

I got both normal tanks and the tank hunters, and got all 4 at the same time about two months ago.

Yeah, I did the same, because he had said that the TH's were due out in November, and later purchases would be allowed. Then they came out in April instead, and by then he had stopped talking to people.

Second order as in second transaction. I get the impression that most if not all of the original orders are supposed to have shipped by now. He does deliver, even if his communication isn't the best, and the casting occasionally sub-par on odd components here and there. But then again, that's likely why he didn't want to set up a formal business page for all this stuff; it's just a little project he does on the side in his spare time (much like the old Phoenix Wargames Club projects).

Ok. Like I've said, I've tried to contact him about more, but never heard back.

I only ordered 1 tank, but it arrived alright. I wasn't aware delivery was such a problem for other people though, that sucks.

It seems like some of the small time creators/casters have great ideas but just for one reason or another can't follow through to make it big.

Well at least he is delivering. In some cases ahead of the original schedule. Would be very cool if he handed off the design to someone else for production. Vic minis or wargames exclusive could make the kit shine.

Hey sooooo sorry to revive a dead thread here, but does anyone know if there are any plans for a second run of these? It seems like there's a ton of interest; I know I'd like to get my hands on one!

This was the second run I believe.

I’ve not heard of another run. But someone may have.

He did say that this was a limited run, and that it maybe never comes back. Since he probably has delivered 99% of the kickstarter ones now, I would try to shoot him a PM / email and ask if you can buy some.

Mine are almost finished painted, and they look amazing, so buy some if you can
