I have some of the first round of models - they're really nice. Might have to take advantage of the sale.

I printed some of the miniatures with my FDM printer so I could do a size comparison picture. I thought it would be better than using just renders. Obviously the 3D prints are not quality as an FDM can't pick up most of the detail on these. However, it should give some idea of the scale for folks. I wanted to do this since '28mm scale' has a lot of leeway between vendors. I think mine are closer to 'true scale' being 28mm to the eyes of a standard human being. GECS being 7-8 feet tall are naturally slightly bigger miniatures. I put in an Eisenkern trooper from the Dream Forge line since they are the same scale and would be similar in size to my infantry and also a SM from GW as that is most familiar to folks.



And the other benefit to have some 3D prints is that it will make the game play testing a little more true to life HADES squad vs Deep Ones and Dagon



I'm going to needed a bigger game board!

Did Dagon get released?

He's one I wanted from the first campaign.

No, he's not been released yet. Just my prototype copy. He was going to show up in this KS but at this rate I'm not sure that's going to happen. But if not this one, then definitely the next.

I just adjusted the campaign a bit and threw in the Lillaen as a freebie to backers at the $49 level or higher.

She's a bad, bad girl

I made some updates and added some additional pictures to the front page. There are about 5 days left in the Kickstarter and we're around 40% funded.

For those interested in the rules behind the game, I posted a demo video on my YT channel where I go through a turn and explain some of the rules. It is by no means a complete play through but will give a good idea of how a game round goes. Note: These are the pre-beta rules and we are still ironing a few things out before considering them complete. I'll be posting more videos over time as the rules get completed. However, I thought it would be good to at least post something so folks are aware there are near complete rules and a real game as well and this just isn't KS vaporware The miniatures are not just meant to be proxies. (that of course is a completely cool reason to back as well lol)
