I am so in, but that kickstarter link doesnt go anywhere

You're right! Many thanks for letting me know. It should work now. There was a stray space character in there.

Any still photographs?

I'll be watching. Sucker for Dinosaurs/Lizardfolk. DInosaurs with lazer guns?

I'm going to spam my printer friends.

Interesting...

I appreciate we get armored as well as unarmored.

First thing my paleontology obsessed child did was complain about the lack of feathers and no leg armor on the heavies.

Tell me there'll be a stretch goal for some feathered versions at the very least!

Also get those more armored versions some footwear!

If only there were a term to describe those of us who grew up with portrayals of scaly, tail-dragging reptiles, those of us whose time has passed, who are practically extinct.

Thanks for the feedback. One of the stretch goals is a "Stormtrooper" variant, with extra armour, including legs.

As for feathers, I would have liked a feathered variant indeed. Problem is that feathers, being pointy small details, don't print very nicely on FDM printers and I wanted the minis to be FDM friendly. So right now they're more the Jurassic Park type raptors. Maybe not scientifically accurate, but then neither are the laser guns ;-) But if there's enough demand for feathered variants then I'll make that a stretch goal for sure.

I've just posted some photos of my prints in the Dakka Gallery: https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-122320-63392_Raygun%20Raptors.html. These were printed on an FDM printer.

Cheers!

Holy damn, I'm in

Also I finally ordered my Mars a few hours ago

I'm going to keep an eye on this, I think my little son would get a real kick out of what he'd call "dinosaurs with shooting guns."

Hehe, yeah, should be fun for all ages. My 5yo has fun playing with the prints he painted himself.

I’ll have to see what the prices are like. I have a PLA printer, so finely detailed 28mm minis are a nonstarter. But at 300%, those space raptors should pass as some other technologically-adept theropods.
