I thought exactly the same thing when I looked at them except they need black helmets, guess what I am going to do with mine now

"Mind the uniform Cleric" " I plan on wearing it for along time "

Yeah.. I'm a huge Equilibrium fan, some of the aesthetic from that film (and lots more) were bound to find their way into AFTERLIFE.

@Dwartist - They look simply stunning! I will always want to design miniatures as long as you keep painting them!

Thanks for posting the photos up!

@Unclebadtouch - Yep, Pan Continental Republic, Radoni Corporation Commando with Rail Rifle.

@ Anvil's Hammer...I'll keep painting them as long as you're designing them!

...couple of Pulse Mechs on the table.

And I will keep drooling over the combination of both

Well, you know, a few Gun Clerics would make an excellent addition to the range.

Rebel Minis does them in 15mm, so I should see no problem doing them in a 28mm.

Ooh, nice spot, and even cooler that it actually is a design influence in Afterlife! Loved that movie, especially his partner... and the first scene with the puppy

Thanks guys!

@RJVF - Some trench coated figures might appear at some point, but they are rather boring.. both sculpt and paint, so far from a priority.

@RiTides - "They were protected by women and children, we put them down easily" has got to be one of the most horrifying deadpan lines in the move. They use shotguns based on the WA2000 sniper rifle in that scene, which I real like.

Your pose B pack of Drones are high on the priority list after Salute.


All.. Here is a render of something I've been meaning to do for a while, and found the time for last night, a character bust of a Pulse Mech, about 50mm tall, so a whole lot more detailed than the regular miniatures.

We are hoping to have a very small number of them available for sale at SALUTE at the weekend.

Damn that does look nice indeed alas I am no at Salute so miss out again, would make an awesome terrain piece maybe an objective marker even

Trenchcoats are never boring

Agreed Although I do collect Steel Legion...

That bust is pretty cool looking! Will it be a permanent item or is it just for events?

It wont be a limited edition item, but we will only be able to make them one at a time and get perhaps 30-40 perfect copies from each mould, so after the first batch sells out it will likely not be available again until after the KS is totally fulfilled, and KS backers will have first dibs on the first batch if they want one.

lovely bust!!!
i would definitely paint that...

you are going from strength to strength with this setting, mate...
it has been awesome to watch it come to life...

keep up the good work...

cheers
jah

Unfortunately not a KS backer, but hell, I wants it!

Thanks guys!

We printed the bust successfully yesterday, and today we are moulding it, so hopefully by SALUTE we should have a limited number for sale.

Here is our SALUTE assault plan, showing our shop (weapons cache) and display game (Objective)

Hope to see plenty of you at the show!

We have a few more days of hectic preparation to go!

Where is the plan?
Is there a link I'm missing?

ahem, I just forgot to attach it.

I forget attachments all the time on emails...

Hey all,

Final preparations are well under way for SALUTE on Saturday!

I just finished painting this up for our display - our first ever vehicle, the Unity Council APC.

This is a prototype, but I am hoping to start full scale production next month and it will be available at retail once all Cataclysm Kickstarter backers have got theirs.

Now that's a nice chunk of an APC! Everything the Taurox should have been!

Is there any estimated retail release date for his KS stuff yet?

with twin link autocannon turret. this vehicle will become Taurox

I like it but the blinged out wheels would be replaced with that Zinge, Blood and Skull, or Victoria kit. It needs running boards and tactical rails too but thick soldering wire or plastic tube and some styrene sheet are easy enough to add. Past that..are the people inside piloting by monitor or is there a way to build the vision slits open? There's literally no way to see out right now without external sensors.

Not so much bling, but rather a reinforced framework from the look of things.

There's cameras mounted on the windshield armor and on either side of the windshield.

I'd like to know a)are the wheels separate? and b)retail cost?

Thanks guys!

Cameras are located as Barzam spotted. Its a one peice hollow body.

Wheels are separate bits, not bling at all, they are based on these real world hummer tyres.-



No idea about release date or price at the moment.

Its most likely a bit smaller than a taurox, about 10cm long, 5cm wide. So Im not sure its suitable as a direct stand in, but we will release larger vehicles in future.

Cheers

Joel

Judging from those measurements alongside one of my Taurox vehicles, yours will be a wee bit smaller.

Wow, I've never seen HUMVEE tires like that. I see the similarities but it still just reads like custom rims to me.
I see the cameras now that I know to look for them. It's a cool concept but I think the vehicle looks a bit too modern and blocky for such a futuristic concept... I feel the same way about the one Antenociti's Workshop has or had. I think it might end up being a pass for me but I'm excited to see what your other vehicles are going to be like. You're chasing the hard sci-fi look at I'm all over that.

I think its that I painted them with a grey/white drybrush, rather than a brown or green. It hadnt occured to me at all that they look like fancy chrome spoked wheels until you mentioned it, but now you have I do see it. Ill paint future vehicles with neutral toned wheels, should help.

The Background of the game is that its set somewhere in the 2400's, but when the war breaks out, there has been a ban on the development of new military equipment, in place for a long time. So most factions are still fighting with weapon systems originally developed in the late 21st and early 22nd centuries.

I also just have a personal preference for realistic "near future" sci fi concepts, which are mostly still grounded in existing technology.

I appreciate all feedback on the range, and I hope you will like some of the future vehicles we have planned.

That's not a Humvee but if you google Humvee Airless Tires you'll find a bunch of pictures of similar designs. I was unfamiliar with the concept prior to this posting.



@Anvil - I understand where you're coming from on grounding the designs for the reasons you mentioned.. As long as it doesn't end up WWII in the 41st millenium I think we're ok.

IIRC the airless tire basiclly can take a hella beating before needing to be replaced.
cant be shot out, punctured, all terrain and stuff like that.

also has some shock resistance i think.

I remember seeing it on TV a looooong time ago.
