Did anyone receive a confirmation after e-mailing about the 3 extra miniatures?



Yes, I did in fact receive an e-mail confirmation today that I 'qualify' for the 3 extra miniatures, provided I back for the core box using the same e-mail address as the one used to get the 3 extras.

Of course, this is looking less likely now, given what we think the cost for the core box will end up being, but....I suppose we'l find out soon enough!

well it's now live

299 Euros for the early bird (2000 of them)
320 Euros normally

not to bad if you want all the minis (and they turn out ok), but it's too expensive for me as I don't

They still haven't shown a single prototype of their models.

They plan to start their next Kickstarter before they even start production on this one.

They do not respond publicly to questions asked on social media.

For someone in the US this costs roughly $430.

What other KS are they planning?

They have planned to launch Confrontation Resurrection in 2019, which will be a new game with new minis. They don't have a ton of information right now, but I could swear I read they would be starting it around April 2019.

Well, it is almost funded already, so...

Not sure if I'll *stay* in, but I'm in for now.

But they really do need to offer a little more clarity on the miniatures, materials and castings before the end, of I think a lot of people will drop out.

I currently estimate the probability of delivery no more than 1 year late and miniature quality equal to or exceeding the old pre painted plastics to be about 20%.

You are correct!

I'm assuming they'll push back the date if the current KS gets delayed.

Interesting - I'll wait and see if models I still want come onto ebay or indivdual sales.

Wow, I expected at least renders of the scanned miniatures and a quick summary of how they were/are going to optimise them for PVC.
The Kickstarter page literally has no info at all about the product they are selling.

I'm really liking the idea of the main pledge being models from each of the factions. There's plenty in there that I've always wanted.

I'd been collecting the models on and off for years, so I have plenty of them banging around.

It's already been said, but the fact that there are no "final product" sneak peeks, or even any info about the type of plastic makes it a pretty easy no for me.

At this price point, I can't imagine how they'd be able to make decent quality plastics... seems to me that this would be more akin to board game plastics, or something like Reaper Bone?

I'll be following to see if there are any updates on this, but I'm very skeptical.

This is an unhelpful and possible unhealthy attitude to have.

Couldn't you instead offer the community something more positive?

I mean sure, there are lots of...warning signs here, but actively wishing for a 'train wreck' seems unnecessarily spiteful.

You could at the very least offer us an alternative game to support instead, right?

He seems to have an unhealthily appetite for negativity, at least with regards to this project. I can only assume Confrontation stole his girlfriend.

I find that it is often the people who were initially the most excited that become the most resentful as the realities of the project are revealed.

"This is the rerelease my beloved XYZ is going to get????"

And to be fair, the only thing positive that this project has going for it is the name.

Just by the odds alone a first time KS creator from a small studio taking on a massive brand/project using new technology they haven't apparently even done a trial run with in order to produce a massive pile of miniatures in China in a notoriously difficult material doesn't exactly have a good chance of success.

I've been a long time fan of Confrontation, and I have a lot of their metal miniatures, but I am very trepidacious about this KS. I think I will likely have to skip it based on the cost of it, and how little I know about the KS materials being used to make these miniatures. If it were hard sprue plastic, I would be in. Not having any clear indication means I'll likely have to skip.

Meh, KS page has too much warning signs. Literally 0 pictures or renders of what we actually might get...milking old Conf glory to the fullest. If this was any other game I wouldn't even bother with it, after looking at page. No videos, no reviews, no rules...nothing except for the old pictures, because why bother with showing any actually product you are selling, right?

And we are not getting uraken clan...

Yea, best of luck to them. I will pick some metal models later on for cheap if I want, on top of several armies I have.

Studio Giraldez have announced they're working on Confrontation Resurrection on their FB page, along with resin models.

I actually worked for Rackham as a Freelancer back then.

What really made me scratch my head with SD was when the licenzed the game from another company (Stellar) that also belongs to their boss and the xact same company started to sell the masters of the first 100 minis Rackham produced. That´s a very strange thing to do.

I guess these guys are not very conscious of what they doing...

They want to produce "plastic" version of the already sculpted confrontation miniatures, well is near impossible: the old confrontation miniatures were designed for spicast metal mould, no way they can do with it pressure injection moulds, need a lot of engineering and is very hard task for a not digital sculpted model, I guess is a more cheap option if they will resculpt for plastic. The only option they have is produced in PVC, but well, again the model was not designed for PVC, so the result will be a very poor made miniature, not near the quality they had cast in metal or resin.

Yeah, like it was mentioned before, at this pricepoint it has to be PVC.
For good results, they would need to scan the masters and rework them for the different casting method/material.

They offer no insight of what exactly they have done, though.
You should assume the worst.

They told us the miniatures would be scanned and cleaned up on the computer. But I can´t see how they are going to finance this.

Still just images of existing metal models ( the original ones painted by Rackham studio team no less), and no mention that the minis on show are not the minis being offered.

That alone is a huge red flag.

If I could pick one faction, I may have risked €50 on it. But not €300.
