If anybody who has the origional 15mm has a link to some of their models all put together I think it would help to sell them here on dakkadakka. I think the videos have been great, but some more wip pics wouldn't hurt. Especially if they are next to models that are proxy for future dreamforge releases .

I haven't been able to find any pictures of the metal infantry dudes out in the wild, anyone know of a log that uses them?

Here you go - they're very nice casts:

Finally broke down and pledged a Leviathan and a unit of troopers. Probably raise it higher soon.

Those are truly fantastic...dynamic, realistic-looking, and suitable for so many other uses...

I have pics of four 15mm ones in a gallery, from WIP to finished

Here's a few for the thread




Keep in mind that these are 5.5" tall, though, and the ones from this campagin will be 4.5". Personally, I think that's a smart change, although I won't mind mine looking over the shoulders of anyone else's

I'm also going to swap mine out to have the capacitor coolers, as I was finally able to locate some. I don't think the new 4.5" bits are going to be compatiable with these resin ones.

So yeah, I absolutely love these kits! The only reason I'm not pledging for Leviathans is that I already have a lot (even more than pictured). Which is why I'm here for the infantry

Though i believe the plastic ones are going to be 1" shorter than the resin 15mm that RiTides displayed.


DAmnit RiTides! You edit ninjad me.

Hah, don't worry, it's worth saying that twice! 4.5" tall is going to be a perfect size, imo, for use as a Dreadknight... or in the case of the Mortis, some infernal chaos contraption. They'll also be more posable in plastic, which is the only drawback to the resin kit, imo. For the full-size ones, Mark keeps mentioning "working" hydraulics- I'm betting that the poses that will be able to be achieved with that will be insane!

And just so this doesn't get lost on the last page:

catharsix wrote:Good point about the Mortis - Chaos connection. That's why I want it too! Sounds like a way to sell this to many other curent and future Chaos players

If the Mortis is possible in the 4.5" size, it definitely has support, Mark!

*starts to chant*

Heavy troopers, heavy troopers, heavy troopers...

Haha, I think he's decided to focus on Leviathan weapons for this one though, Sikil. I love the heavy troopers, and think those and some of the Shadokesh (particularly a Shadokesh Leviathan) could make another great Kickstarter.

I do hold out hope for some Eisenkern command in this one, though

well I cracked and pledged 88 for lots of plastic dudes.

Because I don't have enough to paint already... I swear I am just addicted to spending money on kickstarter.

I fear I suffer from the same malady. I swear Kickstarter = Geek Crack.....

A look at the apc, and hopefully a purchasable apc, would be epic too.

He posted in the comments section on the KS page that he's having a conference call with the manufacturer today about the weapon arm options. Hope to see an update soon!

Also, this (in a separate comment):

Mark Mondragon wrote:I still have to put up the Command Squad and a VERY cool APC.... Will post some pics and drop them in the queue ASAP.

Seems like a command squad should be a very achievable thing... and that most people who bought infantry might want it (and even others who don't want all-new infantry, for a cool looking command). Hopefully that one makes it

So, there's something for both Leviathan and infantry lovers to look forward to!

I was more than willing to get in on this KS right when it started, I've been eying the resin leviathans for quite some time. The partnership with Wargames Factory is a pretty interesting development. Their kits have really increased in quality and I think they're in position to do this project right. Looking forward to seeing the results!

The Shadokesh is my favorite IronCore faction by far, and I do hope that there will be a kickstarter for them in the future. But for now I'd stay with Eisenkern in this (except for the promo Shadokesh, that I hope I can pledge to get additionals of!! )


Weapons are nice and all, but HEAVY TROOPERS ffs! More than 6 months I've drooled over the renders of them...

Agreed x100000. Im chomping at the bit to see some Dreamforge tanks, even just concepts.

I'm most eager for the command, as the troops need it. But APC is my #2!

Hopefully he'll update today about weapon stretches and also these

I agree about a lot of money coming in at the end. I am going to pledge for at LEAST a titan and a 20 box of troopers, I am just going to wait until a few days are left to see what goals are unlocked and if I want to pledge for anything else.

If you KNOWyou want some stuff, pledge for that now

It means stretch goals come faster, other folk are more likely to pledge and everybody can get more stuff....

You can easily increase or change you pledge if you decide you want somthing else.

by waiting to the last minute you also risk missing out if the servers crash (like for sedition wars and reaper bones), or you are unable to access the net for whatever reason

People tend to wait to pledge until the last minute, but there's really no reason to. You can always change your pledge later on at any time before the kickstarter ends. So there's absolutely no benefit to pledging later, if you already know you are going to.

I think it's usually because on-the-fence folks give in last second

...And I need to add some funds to my Pay-Pal

I don't think you can use Pay-Pal for Kickstarter can you? I'm pretty sure it uses Amazon payments which are only Credit/Debit Cards.

Plus, it only charges the card when the kickstarter ends and is funded to their min goal.


I'm going to be upping my contribution when we hit some higher goals and I make sure I can cover my part.

Yeah you have to go via amazon unfortunately.

I just upped my pledge for what i would expect to pay should the 15mm version becomes available.

The earlier we all pledge the money, even if its for later stretch goals that havent been unlocked, the better, as it generates momentum, and gets unlocks earlier for more people to become exposed to.

OK, I will do it today.

These are not the droids you're looking for.

But this IS the Kickstarter you're looking to pledge!

Been a bit of a slow day. Though it does tend to pick up in the evenings. We need 26k to get to my baby titans! Which honestly shouldn't be an issue but I want them now

If we knew what they were armed with, their options, and their prices people might start throwing in early to get us there. I know I would

I don't think putting the Mortis at 90k was smart (unless that's the absolute cheapest it could be) - there are a lot of people holding back on pledging until it becomes available, and at this rate I don't think that will happen.

on the plus side, if it does manage to hit 90K in the next couple of weeks, pledges are going to soar

Im pretty sure we'll make the Mortis, even if its only in the last few days.

On another note, there seems an annoying amount of people in the comments section trying to push back the 15mm, or at least phrasing their comments so as to suggest this.

Still, im pretty sure Mark knows how popular a plastic 15mm would be so we should be alright.

It's tracking to go well beyond 90k, and things usually pick up at the end, too.

I think it will bump when we hear his plan for alt weapon arms after talking to the manufacturer today
