Kick starter page says my £90 pledge is still pending. Hoping that goes away soon! Really excited to get this.

Thanks again!

Yes it was a super exciting finish! reaching 12K with literally seconds left on the clock!!

Thanks so much to all our project supporters!

The hard work begins on Monday and I'm super excited to get this product out there!


PAYPAL OPTION - I know for one reason or anther not everyone is able to pledge on Kickstarter, and as we don't want anyone to miss out we will be creating a special section of our website in a few days time which will allow you to "buy in" to the various pledge levels directly though our webstore. This paypal option will be available for a limited time only while we are sorting out the backer survey, I will make a full announcement in a few days time when we have sorted out the details.

@Khorneball - Don't worry, your bank has a while to sort it out as we don't get the money for 14 days!

Joel - if you double post, Dakka nukes one of them automatically.. so now you have to re-post!

It now says collected, all good!

Sorry to make you do extra work typing Joel.

Cannot wait til January!

Yes.. I realised that a few seconds later than would have been ideal.. :p

Looks like my payment went through alright. Glad to see this got the boost it did. We even got all of the free figures aside from the tractors. Not bad. I eagerly await my opportunity to build/paint these.

And the tractors were purchasable so I'm getting some as an add-on . Will be interested to see how they compare to my tracked weapons from PDC's campaign (I think these are smaller, but more detailed).

Yet another project I couldn't back. I'll wait eagerly for the exo-mechs to go retail though, I love them, although that amy be because they remind me of BL2's engineers...

Hopefully I can get in on the PayPal level. Money is just too tight right now...

Gratz on the mega funding Joel.

The background excerpts were interesting. One question about the artbook. Will it be concept sketches and the like or will it be like painted examples of the models? Or both? Both is good!

What I really appreciate about this kick starter is the lack of aliens. I'm xenos'd out to be honest. This game looks to be a nice shift away from galactic wars of space elves and angry locusts.

Got caught up doing stuff and missed the end of this. Pity as I like the look of a lot of the stuff. Congrats Joel!

Hulksmash, don't forget Joel has said that he will be putting up a paypal thing on his website to allow those of us who missed out to get in on the action a little. I don't have much available money right now, but would like to get something at least to wshow my support.

Hi Everyone!

@Barzam - The hard work starts today!

@RiTides - Ive got a PDC tractor, ours are a lot smaller - sitting neatly on a 25/30mm base, and yes more detailed - the benefit of resin!

@B0B - Hopefully retail in December if we stay on schedule, otherwise mid January.

@Snrub - its more of a background book, there are some full page artwork pieces and some graphic elements detailing weapons/mechs. There will not be any painted models as they will not be ready in time, But we will of course post up online gallerys.

@Khornball - Yeah I'm the same, I just don't find Aliens appeal to me.. Its hard to empathise with your army when its just a hive mind or other strange alien race.
There will be some pretty horrifying.. lets say "entities" in AFTERLIFE, but nothing extra terrestrial.

@Hulksmash and Conrad - Yep there will be a paypal option next week.

I just need a few days to try and get my head around all the work that needs doing, and prioritise things right.

Cheers,

Joel

Oh yeah man, that's cool. Look forward to seeing the models, and the book, in the flesh.

Awesome! I'd missed that note somehow. Looking forward to throw a little more support to Joel.

Just got the pledge manager. Nice and easy.


Since you guys over at Anvil Industries already know what you're doing in regards to manufacturing and shipping, etc. Do you for see any problems in the coming month or two?

Hey,

Apologies for a lack of updates - we are working hard to complete the models and booklet and will have some new previews of completed models available as soon as I complete them.

the PAYPAL OPTION for backing our Kickstarter is now live on our website - CLICK HERE
Please read the product page and the KS page carefully before pledging in this way.

The Paypal option will remain there until we have previewed examples of all the final models, I estimate about 7-10 days. After that we will take it down, and then the final products will all be available at retail as soon as we have shipped out all pledge rewards (including paypal pledge rewards).

Please note the "Add-On" products are only offered for sale to people who are also purchasing the Assault Team and/or Vanguard Pledge level.


@Snrub - I hope there will not be any issues. Barring "acts of god", the booklet is 95% completed, and I have almost all the master components for building and finishing the final miniatures, so I am hoping to start shipping before Christmas, and we have allowed plenty of extra time for unexpected delays between now and the end of January.

Cheers,

Joel

Hey Joel, just making sure but the Republic are the ones that come with the Medic right? The kickstarter says so but the paypal option doesn't

Also double checking that we can go in for doubles of one faction with the assault pledge.

Thanks Joel

Hey,

The Kickstarter page is the most accurate info source.

The Unity Council Marines get a Medic (they all have personal comms).

The Republic Grenadiers will get a communications dude - as they don't have squad level medics, nor do they have decent comms gear for each individual soldier.

And yes if you want, you can leave a comment in your order letting us know to swap out squads for other equivalent squads, so you can double up one faction if you want to.

Cheers,

Joel

Just a heads up. The Kickstarter page says the Republic gets the medic and the Unity Council gets the comms. Something to maybe send out blast to make sure people know since it's the opposite.

Glad to hear about the rest. I'll be putting in for the kickstarted and a decent sized bitz order for stuff I'm thinking of building soon

Thanks for the update, Anvil!

Ah... in that case I might have to do it that way round! Oops... I must have reversed them in my head..

You know I might actually end up doing both for both squads! Sticking a slightly larger pack/extra equipment on the back of one of the 6 riflemen is unlikely to offend anyone.

We will ship out you bits with your 1st wave Kickstarter stuff, trying to ship at least some reward packages before Christmas but it all depends how long it takes to make moulds and get production up and running! Yours will unfortunately have to ship out after the KS backers - trying to do it roughly in order we receive pledges as it will take a few weeks to get it all made - over 4500 figures!

Cheers,

Joel

That would be excellent Personally I really like the look of the Grenadiers so I'm doubling down on those. Plus the suits and tractors are pretty cool.

As for the bitz no worries. It's generic bitz and I've got commissions to do before I dive back into my stuff

I just got my pledge manager. Looking forward to when this one arrives.

Joel,

Hot dog! What a great email to come home to from work!

I wish I could have added more but I have to control overspending. My two month old son will need lots of playthings for his first Christmas. I will definitely be buying more in the coming year once it goes fully public and kickstarter has been fulfilled to enlarge my collection and really hoping the game does well!

Might get some Exo lords to proxy in some models for game purposes.

Hoping that there is a campaign of a sort to drive this narrative background as well, nothing like having a reason to play for hours on the weekends,

'Grats again!

Hey Everyone,


Kickstarter progress report -

Booklet - 95% completed and ready to send to print this week.

Mechs - Component parts printed and cleaned up, part way through posing and assembly of masters.
Infantry - Some parts need to be reprinted again to get the scale correct, updated previews coming soon.
Gun Tractors - almost ready for manufacture - photos of final kit in a couple of days.

More updates toward the end of this week I hope.

While we are working hard on the Kickstarter we have not forgotten about the rest of our product range. We are holding a limited sale on our BLACK OPS miniatures kits.

You can get 20% off all BLACK OPS kits until the 26th December. We have also put up Royal Mails advisory last shipping dates on the front page of the website, and will work hard to get all orders shipped as fast as possible in the run up to Christmas.

Check Out the Sale Items HERE!

Cheers,

Joel

When is the next time double shoties come back into stock? I was thinking of ordering some, but they are out of stock.

Hi Lockark,

Thanks for pointing that out!

They are currently available, but we had forgotten to reactivate the product after we made a new mould a week ago, all sorted now.

Cheers,

Joel

Oooh, just saw your sale on a facebook ad and treated myself to a black ops fireteam
