New Kick Starter coming from Lead Adventures in Germany.

Not many details yet, it launches Sept 20 but the figures so far look really funky. I've had my eye on their Post-Apoc line for a while and a Rogue Trader-like funky science fiction line might temp me.

After all I don't quite have my body weight in unpainted metal yet...

**Agamemnon2**

Very nice designs there, would be right at home on an old pulp sci fi book cover. I wonder if the sculptor and caster are the same as on a small-run miniature I got via the Lead Adventure Forums (the "Grinner"). If so, i'd expect these to turn out very well indeed.

**insaniak**

All sorts of lovely stuff in there...

**Kid_Kyoto**

I believe cyber pig will be the sensational new character find of 2016.

**BrookM**

Here's hoping no unforeseen things pop up for me this time around and that we'll be able to pick our own minis for the pledge.

85% funded as of right now, yay!

**Kid_Kyoto**

And the prettiness! 19 funky sci fi figures made of God's own casting medium

METAL!

Various sets that come out to 4-5 Euro a figure.

**Jehan-reznor**

Make me think of the french film City of the lost children

Update #2:

We hit 100 backers today and we're still within first 48 hours of this KS. This is so exciting, thank you guys!

And we also have some good news for you all. As the KS is running very well, we decided to give one or another stretch goal to you, just to thank you for your outstanding support! We still are working on the details but I think you will hear from us again very soon, perhaps even later today

Stay tuned!

Also, please put a link to the KS in the OP already.

**Kid_Kyoto**

More than double funded already.

And good news on adding stretch goals.

I mgiht just jump in.

**BrookM**

Many thanks for adding the link, every little bit helps.

While I am glad that they're looking at stretchgoals, I do hope these don't push back the delivery date of December this year.

**BrookM**

And the first stretchgoal has been unveiled, bit of a steep one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1688462

Spacefarers!

What would be a ship without a ship’s boy? That’s what we were thinking creating our first stretch goal. So now we could get one as soon as we hit €12.000 or 200 backers. The ship’s boy will be available for all backers who pledge over €40.

You know we originally planned no stretch goals but in the face of the amazing start of this KS campaign we reconsidered that and decided to add a few stretch goals. You definetely don’t need to be worried about release date, it wouldn’t be affected by our additons as we only would use some finished reserved stuff, that the moulding company would cast along with the rest of the campaign.

And now let’s unlock the ship’s boy!

Update #4: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1689316

Spacefarers!

After several requests we decided to give you the opportunity to buy some stuff from our other ranges (Post-Apocalyptic, Bruegelburg (Medieval Fantasy), Steam-Punk, Dwarves). Two of the ranges (Post-Apoc and Bruegelburg) are already to find under Add-On-Store on our KS project site. Others will follow shortly.

So in order to buy the stuff, just go there, pick up whatever you like and add the total to your pledge. After the end of KS we will send a survey to you and you will be able to tell us which additional sets you paid for.

Thanks!

The add-on store:

**Kid_Kyoto**

Great news everyone!

Lead Adventures also added their existing ranges as add-ons.

They do loads of post-apoc, steam punk and fantasy that has a a cool early-GW vibe.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Triple funded with 20 days to go.

That stretch goal might not be too much after all.

**BrookM**

Not so sure about that, it has more or less stalled now, though in a good way at the very least.

**RiTides**

Just backed for one of those lovely... engineers? Very admech vibe, love it

**Polonius**

I'm probably going to back for a nice smattering of the mechs and engineers, and use them with my IG praetorians.

**BrookM**

I was in for a captain but ended up getting an early bird and well.. not sure what I'm going to do with all those minis, but some of them will wind up in my Solar Auxilia force for sure!

**BrookM**

Update #6: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1701337

Spacefarers!

we have some good news today, the metal master casts are arrived and they look amazing! And of course we want to share the first photo of them with you:

Everything from this Kickstarter is here, even the locked stretch goal cabin boy That means the master moulds went well, we have no miscasts and we're keeping the delivery date.

More photos of them in the next days. Hopefully we'll manage to paint one or two from the bunch before the end of KS. Stay tuned!

The campaign isn't even over yet, everything is in order and it will still be on schedule?

OH MY DAYS!

**Polonius**

Wow, looking good. I pledged for the Technical Support Crew, I plan on snapping up all the gribbly technician models to use with my Praetorians.

**Kid_Kyoto**

4 days left.

I'm afraid to pledge, between the new models and the back list stuff this could get very, very costly.

And Colony 87 is still sitting in my closet...

**BrookM**

Even if you just back for a single pack, it would help edge us ever closer towards the 200 stretch goal, we're 21 backers short at the moment!

**RiTides**

Oh man, metal masters already! That just got me to up my pledge to the 3-pack...

Planning to get Sets 02, 05 and 06 (Space Merchants, Spaceship Engineers and Cyborg Heavy Support)

Maybe just the engineers, and the Captain, and the merchants of course, and speaking of merchants there's the post-apoc Chinese food guy, and the other vendors and I bet they could use some bodyguards and...

**BrookM**

Thou shalt pledge..

I mean.. you're the one who got this on my radar to begin with!

I guess I do have to take responsibility for my actions.

Backer #179

**RiTides**

Nicely done

**Kid_Kyoto**

Well they got the stretch goal!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/description

Plus some painted examples.

About 30 hours left.

**GreenOak**

Would so love to get some of these when I have some cash

**BrookM**

Well.. gak.

Update #9: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1713198

congratulations! we managed to unlock the Cabin boy stretch goal and now it's time for the next one at € 13.500. The miniature of the first officer will be free to all backers who pledge over € 40. And we have only 24 hours left so the end is near

Chances of this guy unlocking, at the rate this KS has been going.. impossible!
