Awesome, eagerly awaiting more news.

Any chance your first product might look something like this?

It very well could do. It would be the last product as well, but still very nice.

Oh god. So awesome. Kickstarter is going to be death of me.

Actually, now this is in plastic, surely an upgrade pack would be possible.

Lol, my second product WAS that and GW did not like that much

Fantastic news, Mark.

You're so lazy Kyoto. Just make one yourself:

But I want it now!!
*hitting refresh on Kickstarter page for next 36 hours!!*

^ You no longer have to click refresh on Kickstarter, the website auto-loads the latest total for you!

I do have a couple questions regarding the new models themselves. I have a couple spare resin weapons from the resin Crusader. Would they be compatible with the new plastic model, or will the plastic one have completely new attachment points?

Whose is that?

The design and scale is the same, but the tolerances may be a bit tighter, so you may need to sand down the tab? but it should work fine

Looking forward to the kickstarter...Im going to pass on the 40k 6th ed starter in favor of this project.

Congratulations on making the switch to plastic. I won't be getting the Leviathan due to GW putting the kibosh on the army where it might fit, but the foundation units like infantry and APCs are definitely something I'll be looking at.

One thing I have been thinking about:

Games Workshop REALLY hates it when someone else excels in an area they themsleves are not willing to tread.

What if GW decides to quickly kick out a plastic Warhound to enter the market as well? Kind of the Big-Mac to the Wopper. This coule either be a new era for modelers, orflood the market with similar product.

...so that's in the $75-$95 range, tops? do you have a ballpark for intl. shipping yet?
also, kudos for those instructions with the current resin kit. extensive does not begin to describe what those are

edit: preview would be my friend.

The Warhound is actually a good bit bigger than the Crusader, and likely to be much more expensive...so Id say it wouldnt be a huge bit of competition. However, if they released a Knight, which is closer in size to the Crusader, that might a different issue. However, GW is big enough that its not likely to snap release a product, it would take many months of development, design, etc.

can't remember but was the plastic baneblade cheaper than the old FW version? I doubt GW would make a cheap plastic warhound. I'd expect like $150 minimum.

Plus the leviathans look better than the warhound anyways.

Cheaper? Yup, hella lot cheaper. Can't remember the price, but I could buy three plastics for one of those resin pieces of gak.

Nose Goblin, do you plan to do a Mortis soon? I'd much rather have the skull-head one than the knight-head one. I want in on this start-up, but definitely can't afford TWO titans (not in the same year, at any rate...)

QFT. Dreamforge puts GW to shame.

I'm very curious what the price will turn out to be (tomorrow!). I actually thought that the 15mm ones were already an insane deal... not that much more than a FW Contemptor, but SO MUCH BIGGER

The full size one, that I think this Kickstarter is for, definitely has room to come down in price due to it being even larger and thus pretty high in price (although still a great deal, I thought).

So... can't wait to see what it is tomorrow, I assume you'll be posting it up at 12:01AM, yes?

What did GW do to you exactly?

God, I can't wait to see what the Kickstarter holds. I can't afford one right now, but if they are priced around the $100 mark, I will definitely be getting one when they are in production in the future.

Inquisition maybe?

Imperial Guard?

Allied unit for any Imperial faction?

That really, really is a matter of taste. I like the dreamforge models, but if my budget allowed for it I'd get a warhound for sure.
Dreamforge's models are definately better in a technical sense - it's just a matter of taste.

And at the price point sugested here I'll certainly get one, if just for kicks

Already have a warhound... but that was the Chaos version as I just love the specific detail.

For my Grey knights I have the 15mm version of this already, I love it.

For well... everything else, I wouldn't mind the larger version (1 of each, more if there are options... being plastic this will be MUCH easier to use magnets)

I just want the big armoured troopers!

So what time does the kickstarter get going?
