Teaser Number one covers the Das Reinste. Stay tuned for more Teaser's of this up comming table top game.
If you show them nice minis all will be forgiven
Took some work but okayed to show base Stumpolizist
On issue of scale everything is made in a 1/36 scale.
Here are a few excerpts from the rule book giving a bit of back story to our miniatures.
The dimensional collision had left the world in ruin. The once rich cities of the world now destroyed. The streets scattered with debris from the statuesque skylines of the past, now nothing more than mountains of twisted metal and concrete rubble. The sounds of prosperous civilizations replaced with silence. All of this a Harsh reminder of the serene life that once was.
What is left of the human race has broken off into many small groups of survivors. Some were captured and enslaved by the new dimensional forces. Others have gone into hiding slowly banding together intent on rebuilding.
As word spread of an underground civilization whose main intent is to preserve the human race, known only as Das Reinste and Rumored to be located somewhere on the European continent. Small groups of stragglers began to make the journey. Upon their arrival they brought news of the wars being waged and the technologies used by the armies of the alternate dimensions.
The stragglers told stories of a seemingly mindless robotic army intent on destruction of all forms of life unlike their own. They also spoke of an almost indescribable army. Some suggested that with humanistic features perhaps they are genetically engineered or alien.
With the threat of attack growing ever closer the leaders of Das Reinste had no choice but to begin construction of war machines and assemble armies to defend their way of life.
Utilizing the information gathered by the arriving stragglers, the leaders decided that simple mechanical weaponry that could not be potentially manipulated by outside sources would be the safest.

This is exactly how the Battlefoam Western Kickstarter started. Inexplicable video showing nothing aside from a date, someone commenting on getting lessons from GW's marketing department, and a plethora of editing mistakes.
Romeo, is that you again?
EDIT: ...and the video was made private.
EDIT 2: And all the errors were corrected quickly and promptly with no melodramatic raging. Sorry for thinking you were the Battlefoams
EDIT 3:On a more jovial note, it seems you have concept art or renders of some of your upcoming models, but they're occluded by everything else.
Perhaps that could draw up more excitement. It worked for Thon. Perhaps if you had a designer explaining what their vision is (scale, skirmish/war, etc). Even if English isn't your first language (no offense, you have a lot of German words in there), subtitles would be great.

Us here at the art department apologize. We have fixed the spelling mistakes. Rerendered the video, after today we will have someone from the writing team do proofreading before future post. I am sorry to say day one you are stuck with art department.

Not to mention that's just plan tacky and words barely express it. I was actually interested up until that part which utterly killed it for me.
Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

If you're going to do sci-fi Germans you have some hefty competition. Always open to good new minis though, so looking forward to seeing what you have.

Tis true, can think of at least half a dozen other space german lines. Time will tell if they look good

The texture on the vambraces is misaligned. Everywhere else the straight up-and-down follows the direction of the body, but the arms are at a 45 degree angle while the texture is not.

It looks like there is a professional team behind this, but the field is very crowded right now, both in terms of the fact that there is an excellent line of German-style 28mm miniatures that has just launched (sitting at the top of a field that is by no means wide open), and in terms of competition for kickstarter dollars. Raging Heroes is... soon(?), THON just started, Zombiecide ditto, Mantic somewhere around the corner.
Finally took the time to listen/watch trailer. Not bad, but also seems they took out hitler speech, probably a really good idea.

I don't want to seem overly critical but the model looks like like the Michellin Man's weight-lifting son.
Best of luck.
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do

Must have edited it out because I see no Hitler. If it's meant to be a cheesy Robo-Hitler like Wolfenstein's final boss by all means bring it on, if it's realistic Nazis and hatemongering, err... not so much.
I find it kind of dififcult to figure out what I'm looking at with all the broken glass things rotating in the foreground and blocking the actual images. I would like to see more to get a proper view of the game and minis. (which I imagine the KS trailers will offer)

No offense (what Im about to say is pretty offensive) but this all looks very amateur, designed to nab up some lucrative kickstarter dollars with a half baked idea. The zbrush render says it all, youre going to have a lot of problems translating those details into an actual miniature.
Also 1/36 scale??
