I just hope the casting quality will be a bit better this time around. I love the original SOTR models, but sometimes the casts were just godawful.

Really? I never had any problems... Not saying there weren't I must have just been lucky. Perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket this week after all......

Maybe that was just the resin stuff that was an issue.

The metals seem alright that I've seen.

Come to think of it, didn't I get you some metals Barzam?

You got me the jet mech... which I still need to finish. Some of the German infantry I've bought had great casts, others looked like man-shaped lumps of metal. It seemed very hit and miss with the casting quality.

Didn't you end up with some Incursion stuff as well? Isn't that part of the same game universe?

The metals I've seen at least for that have been nice.

Yes, Incursion is in the same setting.

Rules for the Incursion stuff is included in the doomsday expansion book

I bought some of the Incursion stuff a while back. I use the APE suits as relic Terminator armor in games of 40K (swapping arms and using marine helmets for heads).

Excellent quality castings and great, speedy customer service from the guys at Grindhouse Games.

Really looking forward to this! There's just something about that 'Wolfenstein'-style that makes it a great setting for a wargame.

Have West Wind run any KSs before, and if so how have they been?

Yes - they've done a couple & have been successful.

Had some msicasts amongst the Brits which are all metal, mainly with the gas masks.

Got the 'official' KS alert:

Do have a link to that link mentioned in the pic?

Oops - sorry:

No need to apologize and thanks for the link!

Not really liking the art. Hopefully the actual figures will look better.

Many thanks Bubber

Really looking forward to this one starting, have had a hankering after a force of occult nazi zombies and 50's experimental weapons for some time!

SoTR remains one of my favorite games and settings - ever.

I hope 2nd edition retains much of the charm and flexibility of the first edition while tightening up some loose areas...

I've been in on the previous 2 (Empire Of The Dead and War & Empire) and they've both been great. The usual KS overruns but good communication throughout and great mini's at the end.

How late were they on Empire of the Dead and War & Empire?

War & Empire started fulfilment about 8 months late (December rather than May), and took about 4 months to do. The range is huge and the quality amazing, so I think they just got overwhelmed with orders.

Empire Of The Dead was about 4 months late (September rather than June). Again I think they got swamped as they had to hire another unit to store the orders. I can't remember how long the fulfilment took though as I got my order pretty quickly.

In both cases well worth the wait and pretty prompt by kickstarter standards.

Agreed - that's not horrible at all!

Now I'm even more excited for this one - if that's even possible!

And thanks for the update!

As someone who is waiting for several KS that are now almost a year overdue, that sounds rather good to me!

Interesting...

There's a lot of really cool concepts in that series - wow!

REALLY looking forward to this one - any idea on when in May it will start?

Can anyone get some screen grabs & post them please? Can't do it on my chromebook :(

There are quite a few there, but here are a taste of them.

In the meantime I'm probably going to make a new terrain board for this. Can anyone recommend some good kits for WW2 (roughly) era ruins, I guess something appropriate for Stalingrad? Plastic ones would be ideal but I'm not too fussy if the price is reasonable.

Sarissa have some awesome warehouses and factories in their World War Europe range (http://www.sarissa-precision.com/World_War_Europe/cat1603369_2293856.aspx) that would be good for Stalingrad.

If you can find them, the DUST buildings are perfect too
