They look good but without seeing any of the add ons right now I have to pass. To get 3 guns for 35 pounds then have to pay 25 pounds to ship to the USA just is not worth it financially for me. The shipping is killing me this go around.
The black rage is within us all. Lies offer no shield against the inevitable. You speak of donning the black of duty for the red of brotherhood; but it is the black of rage you shall wear when the darkness comes for you.

Jehan-reznor, due to the demand for them, yes, plans are being made to do some crew.
Orlando, no worries! We'll hopefully have these available in time for the end of the year!
Generalstoner, yes it is £15 postage Internationally as Smuttbudgie says rather then £25. I suspect that might be a typo on your part though. At first glance it probably does sound a tad on the high side for the smaller pledges, its worth highlighting this cost includes Tracking & Insurance though - unfortunately thats what Royal Mail charges these days and it very difficult for us to absorb that sort of cost. We'll keep reviewing it though, if we can bring it down we absolutely will do.
As too the preview of the rest of the core weapon options you can pick from, these should all go up today!
For anyone not following the campaign, we've reached over £4000 in funding, twice the initial goal, unlocking the first three Stretch Goals, a Barrage Balloon Anchor, Flak Cannon, and Multi-Mortar! The Multiple Missile Launcher and a Freebie of Ammo the next two stretches.
No problem and I shall pass that on OnemanNoodles, Kit is from Zinge Industries a fantastic team who I'm partnering with on this Kickstarter! Thank you for your support!
Just for anyone who has'nt seen them, we've also previewed concepts of the Barrage Balloon Anchor & Flac Cannon stretch goals which have been unlocked, with more coming today - expect to the see the Multi-Mortar shortly!
Here we have the Barrage Balloon Anchor concept!
And an early concept of the Flac Cannon!
Don't forget that Early Bird Pledges will close today, with more Concept previewing to come a little later on!

I think why they dont offer paypal is that most of the time the money is usually payed out from paypal straight away which mean KS would have to hold the funds until the project ends, the other problem with that is most campaigns run for around a month and that is usually over the time for you to dispute or recall the money. I think thats some of it but the payapal terms are weird.

^
1. Is it pneumatic artillery piece just like Ork Lobber? cannon ball is shown but where's propelling agent?
it's nice that this weapon serves the function of wyvern stormshard cannon. but will the gun itself compatible with GW Hydra/Wyvern SPA?
2. And will the 'browning single barrel MG' versions that serves similar functions as your heavy Gatling / HB for generic HW teams become available too?
So its been a few days since our last update, but theyve continued thick and fast on the Kickstarter!
First up we have the Multiple Missile Launcher which has so far proven very popular!
Next, the first Freebie of the campaign, an Ammunition sprue featuring a selection of ammo types for the weapons so far unlocked, and a couple of those from the 2013 Kickstarter.
We've also unveiled the bizarre Homing Pigeon guidance system(!).
And most recently the Doomsday Missile.
We're still looking at the Flac Cannon at the moment, with further revisions planned, and have just announced the next few Stretch Goals, we're a scant distance away from the Searchlight, with the Flame Cannon, and three further Platform types next on the agenda - Wheeled, Tracked...and Legged!
Come and check out the campaign page if this latest batch gets your interest!
^ And it is V-1 ! the pigeon guided missiles were tested (by the U.S. Navy I think) in the WW2. (possibly after they captured several pieces of V1 wreckages.
After some reworking following feedback from backers we have progress on the Flac Cannon which has gone beyond the concept stage now. It's still work in progress, but we are getting there!
Still work in progress Lone Cat The main reworking was relating to the barrels which have changed massively from the Culverin inspired weapons of the initial concept following feedback.
And it looks like the Flame Cannon is now unlocked as well.
Can we reach the alternate self-propelled gun platforms?
1. Will turret piece compatible with standard GW Hydra/Wyvern SPA? meow~
2. Yes but which class of SP gun plaform will it be?
2.1 Rapier/Thunderfire?
2.2 Wyvern/Hydra?
We've had a couple more unlocks since my last proper update, with the Searchlight and Flame Cannon both becomming unlocked!
The Searchlight is also a multi-option kit, which allows you to build it in a couple of different ways.
With just over 24 hours to go we're closing in on unlocking the first of the Self-Propelled Platforms, the wheeled variant, beyond that are the Tracked and Walker versions.
Its not too late to get on board in the final 30 hours of the campaign, but dont leave it too long!
The tracked platform appears to looks like Leman Russ runs in reverse meow~
And will the wheeled SP gun carrier features coupling rods connecting to reciprocating piston?? meow~
. Looks like the multiple missile launcher is unlocked now too, congratulations !
