I've thrown a few dollars at Steve over the last few months. His Mohawk heads are perfect for building retro SM scouts!

I'm really keen for this. I've been looking to place an order for some weapons and heads to de-Germanise (that is so a word) some DFG Grenadiers.
Might have to hold off and wait for the roll call...

2 days...

damn.... i love that!!!

Sounds like a solid plan. I'm interested to see how these renders look.

Awwww djyeah.

FOR THE RODINA!

Very interested

“Fear of death? We are Kurgan; we are born into darkness; we live in burial mounds. The very blood that courses through our veins is as cold as the ice that covers our planet. Death? We are Kurgan...death is our way of life!” - General Ivan Druganov, prior to the Seven Hells Campaign

Kurgan is a snow-covered ice world, its inhabitants have adapted by tunneling under the surface to be closer to the warmth of the planet's core. The massive underground cities are referred to as Barrows, an unwitting yet morbid analogy that would seem to demonstrate the harsh environment the planet offers. The Barrow system has evolved much like the city-state of antiquity, with each city representing a force unto itself. The Kurgan society is ruled by an representative council and each Barrow has developed an aristocratic caste that strive to ensure their Barrow's way of life is given voice. The seat of the underground world lies in Barrow-Kurgan, also known as Kurgangrad, where the ruling council oversees the safety and well being of the planet.

Although the majority of it's surface is covered by snow and ice, it does have a temperate zone where some above-ground cities do exist. Situated amongst the vast stretches of tundra, these surface communities live a life that is somewhat removed from the political intrigue of the Barrows. These surface dwellers have a wild, almost nomadic nature about them but they nevertheless maintain a well organized system of society and planetary defense. They see themselves and the Barrow dwellers as complimentary sides of the same coin. Their cultural and political center lies in what many call the “Jewel of Kurgan”..the city of Syberia.

“Now men, from this death to the next, follow me and unleash the fury of the Kurgan host. Follow me over this wall and show the enemy what it is they have feared all their lives...FROM THIS DEATH TO THE NEXT!” - Captain Aleksandr, leading the final push to victory in the battle for Klyton-Banor

Can't wait any longer... My poor wallet... . Oh well, wallet going to on a diet, Kurgan diet that is.

Cannot... pre-order.... 'till... next paycheck.

I can't wait.

OK, here we go...ROLL CALL IS LIVE!

You can get all the details HERE

Let me say, ahead of time....

Very very nice models. Now that looooong time when waiting for them to arrive.

They look excellent, can't wait for Americans, I not need those space pinkos .(joking) I know these will be a hit, also waiting on more torso renders.

Backed order placed

Thanks for the support folks! If things keep going this well, we may see some add-ons get funded before the weekend is over.

Don't forget to specify which heads you want when ordering.

Spread the word!

-Steve

One question if this Roll Call is going to finish early will you inform us before it has ?

I only ask as I would like to up my original amount but not till the end of the month, due to funding and those dam bills

I was thinking this myself, especially with that big Ultramarines feature in the latest White Dwarf.

@LDD: I want to keep control of how many total pre-orders I take so I can get them out in a reasonable amount of time. This may result in the Roll Call being closed before the end of the month. Even though pre-orders may be shut off early, once you get on the list, I can take additional support from you right up until the figures ship.

Since I'm in charge of everything, I can be very flexible and I'll make sure you get taken care of

-Steve


UPDATE: Only 9 pre-orders to go! We may see some add-ons become available this weekend.

Cool news nine more to go come on guys we want some more add ons

A few of the poses possible with the Kurgan Winter Guard kit...




PRE-ORDER NOW

One concern, the rifles are pretty massively oversized. Makes them too comical in my eyes.
Anyone else feel the same?

So you've never seen a 40k model before, I take it?

This is often true of 3d renders, but will look more proportional when you actually see the models - not specific to this project.

Yeah, I hesitated putting these up but it's the only way to demonstrate the parts. Anyone who has bought from me can verify, they scale up nicely in real life.

-Steve

I can vouch for this somethings in renders can look miss proportioned, but once printed look more correct and to scale.

Maybe if you got a render of an existing model where you get the same 'oversize' look shown in comparison to a finished mini would help folk see

Shows relative size of parts in a render...



and in real life...

Good one,

Hopefully that will show folk they'll blend in perfectly

That gave me a good laugh, nice.

That makes me a lot less worried about the scale
