Thanks Steve, it means a lot. I'm trying to keep busy until we know more etc..
In the mean time.. I have managed to whip some figures into shape.
Cadian legs (like I'd really sculpt over some MR legs??) , dreamforge gun, everything else is MR I think.
Yes, sorry to hear that MLaw, they have made great breakthroughs with cancer these days so stay positive mate and I wish your mother a full healthy recovery.
Nice work on the conversions looking very Helghast you're tempting me to give it a go now

Steve, have you ever thought of making the danamians having scars and scruffy faces and full on beards as well? sort of like vets just think of platoon and full metal jacket and let the characters set in those are some hard core jungle fighters man although FMJ was a anti war movie but it still portrays some reality to it just thought about this and was curious as to what your thoughts were on this or if youve already thought about it or made some up, I seen youve made a mock up m16 any jungleak 47 type weapons and m60s too?or must we be tortured til march 1st still ?

Background
The planet of DaNam, and it's system of the same name, was colonized over 7 millenia ago by the Federation of Humanity. Over 70% of it's landmass is covered by a dense, unforgiving jungle environment, it's polar caps are barren, lifeless wastelands of ash. DaNam was the first of many planets to be given the unofficial classification of a "Hell World", a testament to the life it offers to all who are brave(or foolish) enough to live there. While it was originally garrisoned by Colonial Defense Forces, the world has since built up and trained its own troops. A product of their environment, DaNamians garnered a reputation throughout all of the Federation as some of the toughest, most tenacious fighters ever seen.
A big thank you to Jason Kebic (a.k.a. Lt. Walke) for the concept and wonderful inspiration

I didn't get to do the first Roll Call, but I know you added stuff as you went. If I place the preorder at the beginning, am I able to modify it later to add the unlocked stuff? I'd like to have the M-60 looking gun with my guys, but it isn't available yet.

Yep, I can pretty much accommodate anything you want to do. Yu can purchase extras and I'll combine shipping or just email me and I can send you a PayPal invoice.

Alright, I got my order in. I threw in an order for some CDF torsos and heads, too. Depending on what gets unlocked for this rollcall later, I may have to modify my order.
To clarify: Backpacks are included as a bonus for the preorders only. The regular release will not include them, but they will be available on their own. That way no one gets left out
I'm kind of surprised that the boonie hat heads weren't made as a head option. I think once these go retail, I'll have to get some and make myself a LRRP team.
The rifles will be up for preorder by themselves next week.
I wanted to keep the Roll Call focused on funding new items. Once the parts release they will all become options in our Custom Squad Builder, where you'll be able to mix and match them with existing parts.

Awesome for my future projects , unfortunate for my wallet
The jungle fighters aren't really my cup of tea, I'm not in for this roll call but I look forward to seeing what other goodies get unlocked.

Sorry to hear this. Last year both my parents were diagnosed with cancer within a week of each other. Both have done so well with treatment and operations that they spent 2 weeks overseas doing charity work. Attitude is one of the number 1 ways to fight cancer, so keep your mom's spirits up.
Best wishes to you and yours.
