I'm supporting this at Squad Leader level. Having seen some of the miniatures firsthand, I can vouch for their quality:

Not keen on the mix-and-match approach tho, so I would pledge more if it was possible to pick and choose which xenos you want. I suppose it's just not feasible for whatever reason.

Those are neat for sure

I'm also getting into this, these are really great minis.

Kind of surprised at two things, though:

1) why hasn't PF posted his indiegogo campaign on the crowdfunding board here on TMP?

Thank god for Tango bringing it to attention – this should be cross-posted to the Crowdfunding board.

2) why aren't the awesome Loor auxillary scouts part of this launch? They could be part of a higher-level pledge, or a stretch-goal. Come on, PF, you know it makes sense…

Despite these minor quibbles, I'm still totally into this – like tnjrp, I can vouch for PF's great sculpting and casting skills – I have quite a few of his beautiful minis from zombiesmith and cp models.

Let's get these dudes cast up!

Hello,

To answer your questions:

1) I didn't post in the crodwfunding board because I thought it would be against the advertizing rules here. I believed I had to upgrade my account on TMP in order to have my news on the front page.
While I'm at it, I would like to thank Tango too.

2) I thought it would be more simple to have the project split in two for pledge levels and the amount of writing which I already cut so it isn't too painful to read considering my limited english.
Also, I wanted to have squads of five for each type of troops. I already have the two additional loors ready but still need to finish the two other "stealth".

For the casting, CP Models and Zombiesmith cast their stuff themselves and I think they're really good at it. I am not involved in this part of the process except for trying to make sculpts that can be cast.
I use an independent caster for my stuff (test casts, fimo sculpts, templates for squad making, etc).

I decided to help Armand out a bit since that really should be there:

If that turns out to be against the rules then I'm sure it'll be promptly removed.

Hi PF,
thanks for answering all my questions!

Great news that you're getting the loor and stealth squads ready, too. I will definitely support those too if you launch another indiegogo campaign for them.

And your english is fine, by the way!

I like them, gotta check with SWMBO to see if I can participate!
I'm always on the lookout for anything that can proxy for Alien Legion!
Just need a serpentine not Singar and a not- Jugger Grimrod! ;)

By the way,
PF, I sent you an email with a few questions regarding the indiegogo campaign – hope that's ok and you can help me out!

Un plaisir pour moi mon ami! (Smile).

Agreed – the variations and possible combinations look excellent.
I would advise all fellow space cadets to get themselves a squad – you can never have too many cool aliens in your collection!

Sorry this didn't happen.

Has it been picked up and done somewhere else?
