Woop.

Not entirely convinced the difference between 6mm and 8mm warrants a new line but hey good luck!

Well, for those who don't want any new figs, we also have limited edition City sized terrain packs with a discounted price...

...mmm...chicken dinner...

Cusses! I just ordered some! Well maybe I need more, MOAR!

Well fw felt despite invalidating for example new styled rhinos and land raiders gw already had if they ever redo epic which will then require redoing those.

@Evil: The RH building looks like it would match the IC stuff very well. Could you just confirm its nominal scale? I know it's Troublemaker, but on the VG site, there's no mention of scale. However, the site states that it's 50mm per square, which I "believe" the IC stuff is also? So it "should" be perfect, right?

Honestly, I want to support this, but I just spent like $400AUD on the Adeptus Titanicus box and that's driven my hobby budget out into the desert, made it dig its own grave then put a couple of rounds through the back of its head. I doubt I'm going to be buying anything hobby related for a couple of months.

I usually avoid IndieGoGo, but I can't resist this one.

Hopefully I'll be getting a nice head start for the Glorious Return of EPIC - but even if that takes longer than it should, I'll have some stuff to get a game of Classic Epic in, as well as some nice 'terrain' and objective markers for Adeptus Titanicus!

Hi!

I'm of the opinion that it'll be perfect for AT.

Each tile is indeed 5cm x 5cm.

Went to check on this today and got the following:

"8mm Scifi Funder" is currently being updated.
Please check back later and show your support.

Any idea on what's going on here?

No idea. Maybe it was opened initially as a mistake. Maybe no one backed it. I don't see any announcement for either the launch of the campaign or its closure in the Vanguard Miniatures thread, so I'm leaning towards mistake.

This campaign is fully run by Troublemaker Games, no official announcements from Vanguard Miniatures (yet).

Or something like that?

I wish, but sadly enough I don't have more info. :(

Any updates on this?
