Finally made my preorder for the DaNamians. Wish I could order more now :( when I get a job and have more cash....

( local gamestores should job hunt for me...they would end up benefitting the most)

Awesome, thank you!

A new head set has been unlocked, I hope to have a preview up tomorrow, just as soon as I get them finished.

-Steve

Yeah I've got a small preorder in too. Now I'm just waiting to see what else unlocks so I can figure out what I would want to add to it.

If we hit 30 pre-orders, I'll do a straight M-60 version...fair enough?

Are we there yet?
Really excited that we've gotten this far. I'm looking at adding a little bit to mine but I'd love to see what we've unlocked for heads and what's coming before I do

Sorry for the silence, I've been hard at work on something very fun! We have now got 15 preorders into wave 2 of this Roll Call! All I can say is thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

As a reward for the new people jumping on board, a new set of heads has been made available for preorder:



They can be preordered HERE

Sick......
You are awesome my friend.

Yes!
Originally I was just going to run 1 veteran squad themed off of the Expendables.. but now.. yeah.. looks like I'll be adding a rescue team to the roster too

Dangit! Now I have to order more stuff!

Mmmm. Dat Arnie head.

Will you be making a helicopter down the line?

For those "Get to da choppa" moments.

I'd like to, have a concept but vehicles can be difficult to pull off. Time will tell.

If you really need a choppa (and why wouldn't you) you can pick up a 1/48 model kit. Most of them are a pain because of the rotor assemblies and they're the right size but they're not heroically scaled.. so you may or may not like it.
I would personally prefer a well made easy to assemble resin kit.. but there's just not a great deal of those available for 28mm gaming.

The army I'll be using my Danamians in will have Expendables as well and a bunch of other conversions.. I've already got my Apache and a pair of Land Rover Defenders.. Steve's stuff is just such a good modern military transition to pass up the opportunities for this sort of thing.

If you're out of the loop.. the new IG is coming up really really soon.. and it looks like there will be a bunch of new stuff.. so outside of infantry, you might want to hold off on vehicles and things...

It was actually half a (Predator) joke, and half wondering what a MRM chopper might look like. But yes, 1/48 model kits are likely the way to go for the time being.

Probably be easier to produce vehicle add on kits, or couple up with a laser cutting service like http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/index.php?route=common/home

Big smiles Steve! :-) ..... BIG smiles! :-)

Holy crap! I was planning on ordering another pair of squads once these go retail anyway. Now I know how I'll be doing that second squad.

Words fail me, but epic comes to mind.

I'd love to increase my order, but i'll get hit with flat rate of 25€ on imports over 50€ + 21 % tax on total invoice

PM sent.

I'm guessing things have been super busy..
I received yet another awesome package.. This time for my Expendables.. I'll try and get some of that built over the weekend and show off a group shot here if you like. Either way, top notch as always

Things have been very busy. A huge thank you to all who continue to support Mad Robot.

I need to report that there will be no more official unlockables for the DaNamian Roll Call. We will continue to take preorders until March 31st, but work has already begun on new things, namely some CDF upgrades. No specifics to report yet but I've already begun work on the heavy gunner.


-Steve

Dang. Oh well, I can't wait to get what I ordered. I look forward to painting a squad up, and depending on how well they fit with my other guys, I may build up a whole platoon.

Will that platoon be anything like Platoon?

Will we still be getting a slot to order the promised m-60? I appreciate the more heavy bolter one but really would like one a bit closer to the genuine article..

Sorry Mike, doubtful

No M60? The iconic 'Nam weapon? That's mightily disappointing...

I see.. well it's what I was waiting for before placing a second order.. Thanks for the heads up.. I guess now it's just a waiting game

We have filled wave 2 of preorders on the DaNamian Jungle Fighters and have started WAVE 3. Thanks to all who have participated! This wave will be the last preorders we will take and there only 10 of them. They should ship on or around May 1st.



You can preorder yours HERE


-Steve

I'm surprised these guys didn't take off like the Soviet themed guys did. I think these guys actually look better and have better detail.

I know I can't wait for mine to show up! If I had more cash I would be buying a second squad to make a "rescue team" with

They've done a bit better than the Kurgans actually. I purposefully reduced the amount of unlockables on this one to make things easier to get completed and shipped. That may make it seem less successful, but the bottom line is the figures got funded and that was what were hoping for

Thanks for your support
