I wanted to show you what my team has been working on. We're not even half way through the whole KS list and the collection is already looking amazing.
Last Christmas we brought you 9 plastic mechs. Coming up next year we're going to increase that number to 38 (subject to change), and it'll only get crazier from there

You know, I would have expected all of them to have their SRMs too- then I thought about it. The idea of every member of the squad having a shot, and launching simultaneously is a bit absurd. If they're firing when they have the opportunity, someone's going to run out first, and once they've shot their SRMs they'd eject them- so I've come to love the logic behind it.
Plus, they are simply gorgeous.

Can't speak about infinity but in 40k they'd likely be 4 str, 4 t 1-2 wounds, 3+ armor, with a lascanon, stubber and missle rack. ohh and a jump pack.....

BIG UPDATE
The pledge manager is looking to have a soft-launch for the highest tier backers this Wednesday (US time). They'll be testing it out to make sure it works.
If it works, the pledge manger will be open to all across Thursday/Friday.

I know. What I meant was "these make me want 28mm versions of these designs". I thought it was clear enough from the context.

They come in handy when playing 'A Time of War' or the upcoming 'Destiny' RPGs.

Shipping is rather surprising - in a good way!
The only thing that's really messing me up is the way that it wants to lock you in to the selection. I was planning on selecting stuff and paying for it, then re-opening it a couple of times whilst the pledge manager was open. You know, the way that just about every other pledge manager does it.
This is either going to result in a more family-shocking single payment, or less stuff being ordered.
