The Kickstarter is live.

I'm not completely sold on the concept but the minis are lovely.

lovely minis, indeed...
the names are fun, too...

i'm not getting a strong WWII or Fantasy vibe from these guys...
aside from the Thompson on the Orc Sergeant, and the sub-machine gun on the Feldwebel, i'm getting more of a Weird War I vibe, which is new and fresh...

i hope these guys do well, because the sculpting quality is great!!!

cheers

These are very much WW2 uniforms and weapons. SMGs, LMGs, Piats and so on. French uniform looks very outdated because it was. But the theme is definitely correct.

They do look pretty cool though.

Dang you posted at the same time as me,

I actually really like the orks. They're more how I would've wanted the Mantic Marauders to look. I might have to back this. I'm really curious about what race will represent the Soviets.

Really nice models, as always!

i get what you are saying...
i'm just talking about the vibe i get from looking at the models, versus something like FoW or Bolt Action, where the WWII vibe is unquestionable...
it all says WWI trench warfare to me, which is not a bad thing...

I wonder which race the US will be made of? Gnolls would be cool.

The French Gnomes are really, really tempting especially the nurse and illusionists!

US are going to be Troglodytes.

Not sure if they're trying to say anything there...

I never knew how much I needed Gnomish French Infantry.

LOL damn. Hopefully they are the lizardmen version of troglodytes and not the ape-man versions.

I thought the early facebook concepts has the Poles as Troglodytes ? I guess it may have changed as development went on as the US is a big market and probably need some representation early in the game

The KS page itself says that Poles are going to be Troglodytes. Its in the FAQ.

Oh, my mistake. Haven't really paid much attention to it.

Carry on!

My suspicion is that if the British are orks, then the US will probably be goblins.

Love them but not going anywhere near a prodos kickstarter

Especially love the Orc with a cricket bat!

Darn, I was hoping to be American ogres...or trolls.

I was not part of the AVP kickstarter, but seeing how that has turned out has turned me off any KS where Prodos is involved. The fact that AVP, arguably their highest profile project to date, isn't even mentioned as part of their resume on the KS page speaks volumes to me.

Shame because the minis by Hystetical look well done and unique.

This isn't a Prodos kickstarter. Prodos are casting the miniatures, which is something that they appear to be able to do in a timely manner. There also aren't any licensing issues.

The BAR made me think of the US as well but the Poles used a licensed copy in the real world.


I'm not keen on their concept for tanks (big beasties with a turret strapped to it) but its quite possible that the minis will be nice.

So far their published stretch goals are getting beaten almost as soon as they are posted...



I love his 'club'

Still looks more streamlined than the M3...

Don't fool yourselves this is 100% prodos . Byer beware!

The owner of Hysterical is one of the people behind Prodos, not all of them so I guess we'll see whether it behaves differently or not

(also worth noting that they do say they've got a backup caster lined up if Prodos can't do it)

Backing this one for lulz. Prodos return to Kickstarter?
*opens popcorn*

I like those ork sculpts. They do a good job of being not human, but not stupid looking.

Given that I have 3 Warzone forces; buyer beware of what? The initial miniatures were very badly cast but that is long behind them now. There are no licensing issues and the Dwarves at least exist in physical form as there is a photo of a painted squad floating about, this project is hardly going to be vapourware.

More then licensing issues wrong with AvP....

Beware that Prodos has cash flow problem preventing them from delivering KS product to KS backers,and that they have a lack of integrity.

If that doesn't bother you, so be it.

By all means mate, go in big. Give them lots of money and convince your friends to do likewise. If they get enough they might actually post out all the AvP Kickstarter orders and I'll finally get mine. I might even be lucky enough to get the actual Kickstarter version.

To be honest it doesn't. This isn't for a boxed game and all that's inherent problems, I won't be pledging lots of money and its a product that interests me.

Its not as if AvP doesn't exist.
