Well what do you know – that’s the Corporation and the Plague Strider locked in!



Up next:
$1,065,000 – Eddak P'mera

The twin moons were both full, casting stark shadows across the quiet remains of what had once been a busy loading bay at the Nexus Psi spaceport. A year ago this would have been bustling all 26 hours a local day. Now all was quiet. A lone sentry shifted his weight from foot to foot, scanning his assigned sector and trying to stay awake while his comrades snatched some well-earned rest.

Silently, unnoticed, one of the shadows slowly changed shape and merged into its neighbour. A gust of wind blew some loose papers across the open space in front of the sentry and for a moment he was awake, but only for a moment. It was rubbish in the wind. Nothing to worry about.

The sentry relaxed again and once more the shadow moved, always slightly outside his field of vision. It was as if the darkness itself was stalking its prey.

This darkness was the Rebel scout, Eddak P’mera. The sentry hadn’t spotted him yet. Probably never would. Humans were so inattentive. Without turning, P’mera signalled to the rest of his squad who slid silently out of the shadows and began to make their final approach. He would use his crossbow to take care of the sentry…



We will sculpt and tool Eddak P'mera, the Rebs Named Character, and make him available to add-on to your pledge!
$1,080,000 – Bjarg Starnafall

From the press release:

“Designed specifically as the premier equipment for the discerning modern scout, Hammerfist orbital drop armour is a fully enclosed, self-powered, autonomous survival suit. Its main use is to protect the wearer from serious environmental dangers including (but not limited to) exposure to hard vacuum, micrometeorite strikes and solar radiation – all common workplace hazards for the lead scout/prospector in today’s competitive resource-farming industry.

A secondary function of the Hammerfist design is to protect the wearer from indigenous life forms whilst performing his prospecting duties in the field. The inbuilt mining laser doubles as both a robust core-sampling tool and accurate ranged weapon with both burst and duration selectors as standard. Easily controlled manoeuvring engines allow the wearer to navigate in zero gravity or planetside with equal ease, with a duration in standard use of up to 4 days (depending on onboard supplies).

The Hammerfist has been tested under the most rigorous of conditions and the widest of environments without any reported structural or mechanical failures. Reliability is 100% and every suit comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Bjarg Starnafall says ‘I’m never without my trusty Hammerfist’.”



If we hit this goal, we will sculpt and tool Bjarg Starnafall – a Forge Father in Orbital Drop Armour.

Add him onto your pledge!

Dwarf in orbital drop armour? I would have added $8 for that without having seen the concept art, just on the basis of the description

Also, only around $11k until today beats the first day total!

$1,100,000 - Marauder Stuntbot

An older generation Strider combat suit, the Stuntbot is piloted by a single dextrous Goblin who, with a fully enclosed set of armour and a big gun, suddenly isn’t that frightened of getting into a scrap.



If we hit this goal, we will sculpt and tool the Marauder Stuntbot in resin and make it available for you to add on to your pledge.
There's still more to come - let's keep this baby rolling!

I'd love to get a stuntbot (or three) but I'm afraid we might not reach 1.1 mil.

Too much? Drop the things on the right maybe. Or one of the things on the bottom. I like the rails, supports, ladders, and barresl/crates.
