Thanks! Didn't notice that.

The three hand held special weapons look really, really big. Though I guess with the rifles and hands being cast separately, it'll be no problem converting regular Brothers with other weapon bits that fit better as far as size goes.

How will the Wheeled vs Tracked options work in the KS? Same deal with the bullbar vs plough? I know you stated that there will be several turret options supplied (any idea how many?), so I assume the hatch will be one of those.

I might have to pick these guys up as alternate IG. Did Ramshackle ever comment if they were doing the gas tank for the back of the APC? I could use some Hellhounds.

Wow, The Rhebok looks equally cool as a tracked or wheeled vehicle!!

If you want apcs there will be options.

Wheeled or Tracked
Turret or Hatch
Plough or Bull Bars
Transport or Chem Tank

The hatch is pretty chunnky and will have an integral gun.
The Plough is pretty large!
The chem tank back is 2 tanks on a rear end section.

I will have them finished over the next few days, so before the project ends. I will obviously post pictures for pledgers to decide what they want.When I send out the survey at the end of the project you will be able to state your preference for parts.

So we would need to state the exact loadout? Will there be any multi-options provided in the kit?

I understand that Tracks or Wheels is pretty fundamental, but options for other pieces (partricularly turrets and weapons) is something many of us use with magnets and our existing plastic kits...

So if I wanted two APCs I would pledge 19 pounds and then add on 19 pounds after the initial donation or would I do a lump of 38 pounds?

Also, good to hear that I will be able to make some not-hellhounds out of these kits. I love the look of them!

Looking forward to seeing some of those APCs out in the wild... I'm not in on this as I pledged for the transports from Dreamforge, so I've got to get those first! But out of everything here I like the transport the best

I need to do some weighing, as cost is related to shipping weight, but I think I will add a reward level for 3 APCs that include free extras.

That would be very, very tempting!

You rogue! Taking more of my money!

Please do! I would be all over this.

I'm excited to see the options you have lined up.

Even with the glut of independent manufacturers nowadays, good transports/vehicles are still a rarity.

So what would you expect to see in a 3 vehicle deal?
I was thinking of both the turret and the hatch included, and both of the front options included. Obviously 3 of each, one for each vehicle.

I also have an alternate, slightly longer back as well. I made it but the cast pushed the weight up too much to do it for the £16. However, sending 3 of them gives more leeway with weight restrictions and I could include the long section over the short.

I nearly finished the plough and hatch option today, I should have them finished by sataurday. I will post up pictures of those bits, plus the longer back part by then.

I like this option!

As much as it might be a logistical nightmare, working out a ' pick your parts' deal might encourage buyers. Something for instance that would allow you to swap parts you don't want for parts you do. Swap out the brushguards for extra turrets or hatches, for example.

Too complicated, imo :-/. Better to include all the right parts in the kit, and charge the right price, than to have to add and delete some from various kit orders.

Paid add-ons are another matter... but the base set needs to be standard for simplicity.

I have added some shots of the alternate parts for the Rhebok. I also created a new pledge reward for 3 of the vehicle. You get the plough and the cuppola plus the turret and the bull bars with all three.

Cuppola and Plough


Chem-Tank back part


Longer Back. This part is only available with the new pledge level. Its to do with weight and shipping prices.

That's a nice variety of parts... well done!

I'm in!

Updated to the new version. I hope they are great because I'll probably get more.

Sounds good! I noticed with the three pledge you can get wheeled or tracked. Would we be able to mix between wheeled and tracked for the three?

As in, 2 tracked and 1 wheeled (or visa versa)? Of course. Same goes with the back parts. I will supply 3 transport options and 3 backs, you choose which.

How much more expensive will they be post-kickstarter? I'm probably going to want a lot, but kinda want to look at them first.

Cool, thanks!

I have not worked out the pricing. I will have about 250 to cast for the kickstarter, so thats going to take a while to process. I will get the kickstarter order out before putting them in the shop, so it will be a couple of months.

Alright I'm in. Sad I waited this long since I probably will be waiting an extra month on my tanks now lol.

How long are they with the extended backs? From the picture I like the look of the extended version better, but the measurements for the smaller one already match up pretty well with a Rhino. I like that the Rheboks will stand out from my Rhinos, but I don't want them to look totally out of place.

£8,026

Well done. Hopefully the casting doesn't completely take over Curtis' life

Wow. Just got the survey.

edit: Submitted for 3 Standard Tracked Rheboks. Yay!
