Oh man, das sieht ja auch schonmal ziemlich geil aus!! :O
Auch der Internetauftritt und die Idee hinter dem System sind mal cool.
Schade, dass die Läufer nur so wahnsinnig teuer sind, ein System mit großen Kampfmaschinen hätte mich echt mal gereizt. 🙁

1) Schaff die Frau ab
2) bzw. mach, dass sie Dir die Kohle besorgt, bzw. sie zu Dir kommt.
3) 1) ist sehr günstig und lässt Dir Zeit, Deine Projekte fertigzustellen.

BTW: Dreamforge-Games:
Oberst Steiner hatte da mal vor Jahren bestellt und Expressporto aus USA bezahlt (richtig teuer ~800 $), dummerweise kam die alte Version davon nie an. Vermutlich existierte es nur als 3D-Modell am Computer...

[nemesis]

Die neuen Mechs sind ja richtig genial, werde da sicher mal ein Auge darauf haben.

 

[ChrisM]

Geniale Modelle, wenn da der Preis nicht wäre. Die würden für 40k doch sicher als Knights-Titanen durchgehen.

Making a good miniature even better

Making a good miniature even better

Mark over at Dropship Horizon once said, “To hell with your fluff, tell me a story with your miniature” That stuck with me. Having built my fair share of 1:35 scale dioramas, I completely agree with the statement.

Here we have a Strumtrupper but how can I tell a story with a miniature?

Options!, lots of poses and accessories to make each miniature unique. Let’s start with how the miniature breaks down. Having separate heads arms and chest will allow you a great deal of freedom when posing each model.

Here are six leg poses, I can mirror many of these and easily come up with ten different leg poses.

Here are some weapon options, some hip fired some shoulder fired and some are both.

Here is an accessory pack, LOADS of options to customize your unit. Arm raised in halt, throwing a grenade, pointing, double gunning with pistols or SMG’s. Hand replacement options for knife fights, carrying rifles, ammo boxes, etc. Items such as pistol holsters, combat knifes, ammo pouches and med-packs.

All of this will cost a fair amount of cash….I will be going to print with a few samples and starting a Kickstarter project to help funding
Kickstarter is a tool for creative types to get start-up funding; almost like a crowd sourced venture capital system,a great way to get a little cash infusion for a starting venture. You, as a participant will receive a discount on the miniatures, but more importantly, you will be supporting a small indie company to succeed.

When I have a master in hand I will announce the project and provide a link. I hope to see you there and I look forward to your support. When will all this happen? ASAP! I will be sending out to have a single Strumtruppen and Kriegsmarine printed, so that I have something to show you the quality of the actual miniature. Unlike the Leviathan, these will be white metal and should be very quick to turn around from a master model to production metal minis.
All the best!
Mark-.

Sehn mMn aber auch aus wie die ProElite-Soldaten (name entfallen desswegen so) von Fallout3.

 

[Omega - Leviathan]

Da kann man ja gespannt sein ob die nicht so schrottig werden wie das Zeug von Wargames Factory. Ansonsten könnten das die ersten guten Kerberos Minis werden. 😀

 

[tankfather]

Ob Kerberos oder Helghast, Geil sind sie auf jeden Fall!:geil:
Und wenn ich den ganzen GW Schrott wegschmeißen muß die Infanterie kaufe ich mir auf jeden Fall!!!

Geiler geht es ja wohl gar-nicht.

Wer sich im Forum anmeldet, kann auch schonmal einen Blick auf die Gußform des Kopfes eines Protectorate (russisch angehauchten) Soldaten werfen.
Dort werden wohl auch noch weitere foruminterne Previews veröffentlicht.

· Riflemen (done)
· Support weapons (SAW) (done)
· Grenadier (done)
· Weapons specialist (Sniper) (done)
· Medic
· Communications

Here we have a heavy support AT weapon (PAC38 Short) with a coaxial MG53

Here you can see the mods for Support (SAW) and Grenadier.

A question of scale “True-32”

Haben will? Weiß nur noch nicht wofür. ^^

Das hat alles sehr viel Potenzial, wie ich finde. 🙂

A question of scale “True-32”

Indulge me in a slight rant.

The subject of scale is one that many sculptors wrestle with, I am no acceptation. The use of digital technology to sculpt a miniature provides a certain amount of freedom, the miniature looks the same to me at 15mm or 50mm scale, I can make last minute adjustments on the fly and scale the miniature to my heart’s content.
Ultimately, gamers want miniatures that look right with their other minis from manufacturer A, B or C. This is not as easy as it sounds. Place a true scale 28mm mini next to many manufacturers product and it will look small and emaciated by comparison. The whole 28mm scale convention is garbage if you ask me. Scale creep has made it useless and “heroic” scale doubly so.
I like my miniatures to be fairly well proportioned, at least looking like they could actually be humans in armor. With this in mind, I settled on 32mm scale (A man standing upright is 32mm to the eyes). I jokingly called my miniature 3B scale, “3 Bears Scale”, not too large, not too small… just right 🙂 A nod to Goldilockss and the three bears

I call them True-32. This may be a slight misnomer, as some proportions such as shoulder width have been slightly bumped but the vast majority of the figure is a reasonable approximation of true human proportions.
“WHAT? 32mm scale? But that’s too large to work with my other minis!”

Yes and no… They are very slightly taller but the proportions work well with most miniature lines and when they are in a pose that is not completely erect; they scale very well by comparison.
Here is one example of a 32mm Strumtruppen next to a “heroic” scale. You can see the arm and leg length look comparable and the body mass works well. Will this be true when compared to true 28mm scale figs? Sadly no… they will be too tall and slightly too thick by comparison. If I was making miniatures for the historic gamer, I would take a VERY different approach. As many of the Sci-fi games have opted for 32mm true scale or “28 heroic scale, I.e. 32mm with 34mm heads, hands and feet” I needed to make my decision based on what the customers overwhelmingly demand. I choose 32mm true scale. It satisfies my need for some sense of proportion while allowing the miniature to be used alongside the vast majority of Sci-fi and Weird Wars games.
