That looks like a very early WIP but I'm guessing modular robots at long last.

Or some mechs for Death Fields? Or both?

Yeah Conquistador cavalry!

Preorders are almost at half of the $6000 needed before productions takes place.

I ordered 2 boxes...

"This Quar's War" has a full page advert in the new issue of Wargames Illustrated.

I assume this means the preorder/ release period will be along soon for those interested.

I'm very happy to see my research work well received by the community.

Hopefully sales levels continue when these make it to retail stores like mine.

New sneak peek. Obviously sci-fi, seems to be attached to a 'long' body a la ED-209, Space Crusade Dread, or Deredeo. Could be a 'mech' but looks more 'infantry robot' scale to me.

I finally ordered a box. That puts us $30 closer to goal.

There was a poll today asking about must have big stompy robot weapons i'd agree that's a Dreadnaught equivalent (laser) arm

New parts list picture for the Conquistador cavalry. Looks like 2 doggos per sprue!

Hopefully there will be enough of the fully enclosed helms for everyone.

It looks like 7 torsos to a sprue... If all of those make it. They said the box will be able to make 12 cavalry guys... So I am not sure if these updated parts represent final stuff or not... only 3 armored horse heads... and it is looking like 2 of these sprues to a box? But 2 doggos is exciting... But only 1 fully enclosed head... and the comments had a ton of people commenting that pistols SHOULD NOT be on the sprue... :( So I guess they listened and decided against them.

Oh and update on pre-sale goal.

Looks like 23 Feb is the release date for the Quar game.

Hmm what could that be? Another shot of the modular robots?

@WGA - have you thought about doing some generic terrain for historicals/fantasy? Especially buildings and ruins?

Wow, pretty good jump since yesterday.

I am incredibly excited about the Quar and have ordered the starter set box. Hopefully the Quar do well and WGA make faction specific boxes in the future.

That's the order for 10 Death Fields Zulus gone into the Kirton Games 3d printing service.

Let's see what all things Asia brings up for the next Tribes releases.

That's perfect! I'm planning on building a proper Landsknecht army, and some guns will make for a great addition!

Buildings and terrain stuff, like vehicles, tend to be lower sellers but require more frames to build than a typical infantry set. Given it's $x to make a 151mm x 223mm frame no matter what is really in that space we try to be responsible and lean toward filling the space with stuff that will sell more. That said, as we ramp up and make more sets I'm sure we'll get to terrain stuff at some point!

Ok, thanks for the answer

Your honesty is genuinely refreshing. I mean, I had an idea that would be the case but it's nice to hear it out loud.
I really love your products and I'm glad you're growing.

Thanks we're trying! The goal here is to continue to increase the number of new plastic set releases each month. The sales team is doing a fantastic job getting us into more stores which in turn helps to pay for more plastic sets so as long as that all continues we'll keep making as many as we can and maybe someday we'll have the luxury of taking some risks on things like buildings and even more obscure plastic sets (yeah, I know we're already doing some pretty obscure stuff!)

Look how much it's jumped in such a short amount of time!



I think this kit is really gonna happen

It's actually at 97% now so yes it's good to go. Now we just have to finalize sculpts and inclusions and see what fits.

Yeah!

I am happy to see more cavalry.

DING, Fries are done!

Horses and shields
