Hello DAKKA DAKKA,

I open this thread to speak to you about my game KOLAPs: Ground Zero.

What is it ?

K:GZ is a skirmish game with a bit of roleplaying. The format allows to micro-manage all aspect of the characters (miniatures) with customizable talents, side effects of wounds and loosing morale. The large pannel of actions available for characterspermit a immersive expérience of game... really.

What's the rules.. where to find them ?

I actually done a first version of rules available for free download on my website: www.blockhaus82.com. I made demonstrations over France and Belgium with them the last 7 months and start to gather a communauty around.

I notice a lot of little things to increase gameplay during this period .. and summer is a great period to adjust rules and launch the project "in English" rules.
So right now I'm rewriting my laws and I approched a professional to give me a perfect translation.

Miniatures ?

Of course I love minis since 25 years ago and K: GZ is a miniature game and I allready realease 10 models:












Well .... not so bad ?

I design all my characters by myself on Zbrush. I let a specialist print them, and a specialist cast them. They are in scale 1/43 ( 40mm) giving a great plesure to paint, collect and play with them while not making obsolete all of the crafted game materials.
They are casted in resin and except for the texturized base and pint work , they are what I sell..... they are not painted prototype or stuff of this kind on my pictures.

this is the last big one on is regular base and without painting work

What's the Fluff, pitch, background ?

The action take place in an alternate version of our world, where mankind has been toys for divinities.
In a near future (2052), the life has something false, Humans are consumers, modern slaves working in vast Factory-City or forgotten outside walled megalopole.
On November 1st, a massive explosion strike the heart of the European Capital Strasburg, making almost one billion deads. Following this spooky creatures will appears, something old and powerfull has awakened. The time for human life running short.

This is where start the story and the game. And where my novel start, 'cause I'm writing ( not fast enough ^^ ) the evolution of my fictionnal world into a long story introducing characters and intrigues. ( in french for now sorry , but I planned a translation )


Well well ^^ Why I talk to you today ?

First I hesitate because it's internationnal, and very 40k oriented here but ..... You are all players and mini lovers, and without guys like you, my porjects won't exist and developpe.

All I made is for players and I need you to continue my works and providing you all you need to play KOLAPS ( translations of rules and background).

How to give support to KOLAPS?

First of all feel free to ask all questions about it following this thread.

Speaking of KOLAPS around you , and on social networks ( some have allready did it, and I thanks them ) and follow me on FB : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blockhaus82/442132109188578

You can also acquiered m mini using my website : http://www.blockhaus82.com

And you can also support my running Indiegogo campaign lasting around the august 16th.

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kolaps-ground-zero

It propose to help me producing 5 new models, their WIP are :







I send them all around the world free postal charge, and even If I didn't reach my goals, they will be produced ( I need help, but I have also some ressource )

BUT if we rise more found I'll add some additional minis, and It's surely help me to provide faster all the english content.


Thank you so much to read me ( sorry for my not really fluent english spoken )

Some very nice imaginative models there. The ones with their brains removed are downright creepy!

It might be a good idea to contact a mod and ask them to move this thread to the News and rumors forum, as the Misc. section tends to get very little traffic by comparison.

Its a shame that the range is 40mm, i absolutely love the ghoul cultists models but at 40mm they're just to big to mix in with my existing Post-Apoc miniatures.

many thanks guys.

I try to contact Modo.

Concerning the scale, the 40 mm is good compromise for fine fine detiails with castability ( don't know if this word exist ).

cast in 25 or 28 mm will certainly some oversizing items ( claws, blades gun ). That is High quality resin, not injected plastic.

But by the way , it's not impossible ti see them one day in a more conventionnal scale.

Mr Gutsy has a good point - from a business point of view you're much more likely to have better sales in 28-32mm which would make them somewhat compatible with other model lines,

Here is an old and bad resolution pictures of 2 of my mini standing close to two SM.

Moving to the News & Rumors forum...

Thanks alot Yakface

This actually looks nice. I wish you all the luck in the overcrowded skirmish market.

Very nice, but please put NSFW in title. I opened and was scrolling thru the pics as my daughter walked up to hug me good morning from behind. Nice discussion ensued.

Ouch sorry !

For a 7 months work, it's a great job

Thank you Choucky.

Up !

4 Days Left to support my project.

PS: ( I know this is summer time, and there is better way to spend time and money )

Another UP !

70 hours left.

Thanks alot Orks !

You should have gone for the fixed funding, and not the flexible one. I think it will hurt the campaign a bit. Some lovely figures, though. I hope you'll be able to get all the funding needed to continue with this project.

Thanks Grefven , That's my opinion too ... but I realize it too late. I should down my goals with a fixed funding.

This project will continue by the way And i 'll be back :p

Hello,

20 hours left to give support to my 3rd vague of minis ( they'll be produced and sended for November even if I don't reach my goal )

Thanks again to have read, support me and message me.
