The Nemishere kickstarter is now live. Please see the following for more info:

Title should say Nemishere – editor can the title be corrected?

I think you mean "Nemisphere" there. "Nemi" is an extremely odd prefix in terms of what it brings to mind:

The art style on the sculpts is also weirdly familiar. Did you have another range you were trying to launch a year or two back, with more of a 40K/Grimdark look to the minis?

Yup the Corpsehammer line. Kickstarter was not funded for that one. I tried to correct the title but it won't let me update the title.

Spin-cast plastic – is that the material commonly known as 'Restic'?

Not to be negative (here comes the negativity anyway) but the poses are quite dull. You may want to consider that the human spine is very flexible and that the shoulder plane isn't always flatly aligned to the pelvic plane.

As I said earlier, I sorta like the Decrypte android types, even if they are going to be "restic" -- as I'm pretty sure "spin-cast plastic" is not going to mean polystyrene. Not too keen on anything else however and in any case it's too expensive to get into from here in the Old World.

Best of luck with this effort, at least the goal for this one is more realistic (in terms of actually getting funded) than it was Corpse Hammer.

Why didn't you produce the Corpse Hammer minis you had already printed up? Might have gotten some of your money back…

Pricing vs. design isn't honestly 'competitive' compared to what's out there. Looking at the Mantic spincast plastics, I'm getting 31 Enforcers or 46 Corporation for less then half the price your asking (shipped). Even 40k is offering more for less (IG Battleforce)… If the sculpts were unique & exciting, it might have been a different story.

You might want to start with a few sculpts (your already printed Corpse Hammer) and produce a small batch, sell those, new batch + additional sculpts, rinse & repeat. Until you have a small following, then you can KS something bigger. Kicktraq isn't showing results anywhere you'll need…

Cergorach – While the Corpse Hammer minis were 3_D printed they had not been cast. And since the kickstarter did not fund there was no money to cast them. Yes we could do a new kickstarter for less money to get them cast. But again it would need to be funded.

As for the cost for Nemisphere I cannot compare to Mantic. Maybe they have there own casting equipment. I know what my costs are and am trying to to this based on those costs plus shipping costs.
