History in the making!

Image
The world’s first 15mm - 1/100 scale, Injected plastic, science fiction model kit for tabletop gaming! 4.5" tall (114mm) This kit has all the features and details of its big brother, fully poseable, featuring quick swap weapon arms for future releases. This kit comes complete with advanced capacitor coolers and the Excalibur sword option!     This is not the same 15mm scale kit we made in resin, the resin kits were 5.5” tall and fixed pose. These will be 4.5” tall (a true conversion to 15mm scale) and fully poseable just like their big brother. If there is enough interest (backers) I can release all the weapon options you see for the 28mm kits in this scale and in this Kickstarter project! Iron-Core is being fast tracked so you will have a game to use both the 15 and 28mm figures in. I would love to see the 15mm scale take off! Iron-Core is a vehicle centric game and 15mm is a better scale for that kind of game, as well as being kinder to the pocket book ;) If you would like

Another heavy weapon opens up!

One more stretch goal down, and the Nova Cannon will now be a plastic kit!

Update 8/30: Transformation Overhaul

Yay, it's done. BIG NOTE: This update DOES use the new RAGS 2.4.0.0 update. You can download the suite for free from  here . Major Changes: - Catgirl, cowgirl, succubus, dragon and werewolf have all been completely overhauled to have additional traits and effects. The full list of effects would take far too long to update, so I'm gonna be lazy for now and not bother. - Wings now allow you to fly to specific  destinations once per day. Some destinations are not available (such as work locations) because it would screw up the time intervals and you wouldn't be able to work. So in the interests of not creating bugs, for now at least, you can't fly to those places. - Dragons and Succubi have specific wing iterations that DO NOT show morality the way feathered wings do (yet). Also, succubi cannot fly: their wings are too small. - Robots can now install upgrades by buying the toolkit (only after completing the robot TF). Note that I forgot to finish the descriptions for a lot

Early Time Stream

I have appointments this afternoon, and I'm awake now, so I might as well do some work. Really hoping to have the next update out today, but we'll see how that goes. Also, because I'll be working on High Succubus stuff at some point, and I don't want people to see that, you might be treated to some kind of distraction. We'll see what comes up.

Two stretch goals down!

Image
We are into some exciting stuff! The Beowulf/Grendel guns will now be plastic models and we have a large selection of goodies laid out in front of us ;)  

Did someone ask for more Leviathan weapons?

Image
Weapon Swaps for the Leviathan Crusader and Mortis These are Kickstarter exclusives and not likely to be released until the variant that uses these weapons are made into complete model kits! If you want them, now is the time to get them, or you may be waiting a very long time for these optional weapons.   Restrictions: In order to add these optional arms you must pledge for at least one Leviathan Crusader or Mortis (If the Mortis stretch goal is reached). These hot swap weapon arms will allow you to instantly customize your Crusader or Mortis, Twist and remove the current arm and slap on one of these beauties! The weapon arm kits will come complete with the armor plating you need for the Crusader (for both Left and right arms)   and you can simply leave the extra armor off for your Mortis kits. *Some arms are right or left specific, so you will need to specify which arm, left or right hand version you would like when we send out the survey. But why not pledge for a matching set!

Tuesday Stream?!?

Time for more coding. EDIT: And done. Robot upgrades are all done but for the writing, which shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes. So 99% done there. Thursday, I'll have to finish the werewolf upgrades, the high succubus stuff, and the wing changes. Hopefully I can get it all done then so that I can put out a release. If not, then I'll probably cut the wing changes and push them to the next update.

Monday Stream?!

I really want to have this update out by the end of the month, so I'll be doing some work tonight. I don't know for how long, maybe as little as an hour, but work is work is progress.

Eisenkern Support Weapons Set; now available in Plastic!

Image
And yet another goal is met! The Support Weapons Set will now be a plastic model!   Congrats to all and a big thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Two stretch goals down!

Image
Two down more to go..... Thank you!

Why do I bother....

Image
David over at DWARTIST is at it again. Makes me wonder why I ever bother to pick up a paintbrush :) He just started painting up one of the Eisenkern Kreigsmarine. He is forever painting up something new and interesting.... go give his blog a look and see what I am taking about.

Kickstarter Exclusive!

Image
Wai Kee Hui, the owner of WGF and manufacturer, is as excited about this project as I am. He has graciously offered to produce a Kickstarter special item as a way to say thank you to the supporters. All backers at the $20.00 level or above will receive an exclusive 28mm figure of a Feral Shadokesh and Handler.   The Shadokesh are the mortal enemies of the Eisenkern faction. The first human contact with the Shadokesh was made by a delegation from Eisenkern. The Shadokesh met with the human delegation, studied them and when they were satisfied they were of no use to the Shadokesh Empire they were violently dispatched. The Dhar-Hazier were given a similar reception over seven hundred years before. The outcome was quite different, the Shadokesh were forced to re-evaluate the danger this race may pose to the Shadokesh Empire. The Dhar-Hazier have now been at war with the Shadokesh for 753 years.

Stream Time

Note to self: do not decide to organize your music. It takes forever. Today, I want to finish the Robot Upgrades system, which, now that I know what I'm doing, shouldn't actually take that long. Today I did not finish the Robot Upgrades system, but I did get way more than halfway through it. So I should be able to finish it in the very near future, possibly this weekend if I find the time. I do have a bit of a quandary, though, in that there are two upgrade locations with only two special upgrades, the lower torso, and the head. The way the system works, you can have two special upgrades active at any time, so only having two upgrades for those locations makes things a bit...odd, since you don't have to make choices. So if anyone has an idea for upgrades that could go in those locations, let me know in the stream. And before anyone suggests it, no, no artificial wombs for robots. They cannot have children, period (PUN!). Got that all sorted out.

Something Wicked This Way Comes!

Thanks to all of you, this project is now funded! The  Leviathan Crusader and Stormtroopers will be produced in plastic! THANK YOU! What's next? Well, I have lots of stretch rewards and some you have not yet seen.....

RoboStream!

Time to add the robot upgrades. This'll be fun with a capital "F" & "U". EDIT: Robot Upgrades is easy! Or rather, kind of are. I should be able to finish them on Thursday, and then they'll be done and another 100% will be added to the list.

Stream Tonight

I'm still working until 7pm on Tuesdays for the foreseeable future, but I think I'm getting used to it. So there will be a stream tonight. At some point.

At about 5:40 but watch the whole thing ;) Another great bit of coverage fro Gencon!

Stormtrooper Accessory Pack

Image
Here we have the Stormtrooper Accessory Pack. This pack will allow you to customize your troopers in ways unimaginable with most miniature lines. Let your imagination run wild, build vignettes, dioramas; tell a story with your imagination as the only limit! If you’re like me, you love the ability to customize your minis so that no two look alike. The combinations you can achieve are staggering. This pack includes multiple arm and hands, heads, weapons, pouches and other accessories of war. We would also like to introduce you to the Cargo Mule, a semi-autonomous mechanical beast of burden. No longer do you need to tie up valuable fighting forces, hauling supplies, ammunition and light support weapons from one end of a battlefield to the other. The (HHM) Hammer Head Mule is capable of following simple commands such as, follow, return to depot and move to that objective.   The other option is to utilize the (CCM) Central Command Mule, controlled by your command detachment via a coms link

Woot, it made it without damage. Sorry about the pic quality, this was shot on a phone camera. Sure will be nice to have these in plastic... a lot less worries when transporting :) Off to a B-Day party. Will check in and chat/answer Kickstarter questions tomorrow. All the best! Mark-

Stormtroopers now available on Kickstarter!

Image
We are now offering the Eisenkern Stormtroopers on Kickstarter. These will be injected styrene plastic models. So, has anything changed with these figures when compared to the metal minis? Yes….I reworked the legs, adding a very slight amount of thickness, the helmet is also, just ever so slightly larger with more defined details in the face mask. The backpack is now a separate component and I did some major overhauls on the arm poses, adding the “at the ready” pose for all weapons and tucking the elbow under for the shoulder fired pose to better simulate the modern firing stance. I also added quite a few new leg poses. The old set had seven, including the kneeling. The new set will have twelve poses and an extra set of four kneeling legs that you can choose to use if you desire. There is also a much larger selection of weapon/arm poses to choose from, all in all, some great improvements. I hope you enjoy the new pledge options!

Sneak Peek

Image
Here we have something I have never posted; this is one of the groups that will be in the (Support Weapons Set) for the Eisenkern Stormtroopers. I will be sending out teasers like this one fairly frequently so you may want to watch this blog until they are official Kickstarter stretch goals.
