Thank you for your support!

I like the Scorpion.

Good luck with this!

Signed up.

Backed at the Platoon Commander level. The Scorpion looks great :)

I love the Scorpion really nice!

Thank you sirs! Really appreciate it!

Those look great! I will definitely jump on!

very cool!

Those look awesome, best of luck!

Ya know, it was rather strange in a nice way to see a number of my kitbashes showing up as 3/4 view silhouette graphics with the possibility of becoming full blown production models in 15mm, officially cheek to jowl with some of the nicer 15mm sci fi models available these days…

So c'mon you apes! Ya wanna live forever?!

Oooooooh! I rather like those!!!

John looks like the Salute money might be spent here instead
so might not see you Saturday. Lol(hysterically).

Can vouch for the quality of the resin casting, top notch(have a couple of Sor'han on the painting table).
The big question is how the ventauran infantry match up against the Eureka ones ?
Oh decisions decisions

The Scorpion looks like the perfect platoon HQ vehicle to use for a trio of Talins.

Thanks all!
Von T, about the infantry: These Venturians will have different helmets, as though these were designed and sculpted by Leon Locke of Adler (and he did the original 6mm figs) he felt they needed a refresh.

Get those S'orhans painted! Would love to see them.

Interesting: didn't spot the Ventauran/Venturian infantry thing (I didn't look at the Kickstarter stuff hard enough!).

Still, all good, by my book. I like both of the vehicles very much indeed.

15mm SF is just monsterous at the moment!

I keep staring at these two models contemplating how I would paint them to best effect… and keep concluding that I'll need a dozen of each for at least four different paint schemes apiece just to do them justice…

A picture speaks a thousand words:

I'm thinking a multi tone green digital camo spec is in order…

That tank is definitely getting grav plates once I get a hold of it.

That'll be really cool, I'd like to see that!

Yummy, these would be a nice addition to what I have from gzg, cmg, khurasan, rebel minis, old crow…

I just received my first Darkest Star Games models, three S'orhans, two Pumas, five Talins, and four of the new "Jackdaw" "ride armor not-tachikomas. These castings are superbly clean. There is virtually no flash whatsoever on any of 'em, and the detailing is crisp and well defined. Cleanup will consist of removing a casting bur here or there, but that is about it!

The massive "Winnebago of Doom" is simply, well, MASSIVE, and the Puma and S'orhan are HUGE, but things of beauty, all sleek aerodynamic Death from Above!

Now I can't wait for the Scorpion and Kh'erian MBT, as I already have a pretty good idea as to how I am going to paint them all up, and I have five different human infantry factions to finish painting up, and they all need their respective rides…

I have seen the Scorpion in person and it is sweet.

Ditto on the grav plates on the tank. Upgrade?

Doing it from scratch is fun for me but an upgrade kit for that tank would just be awesome. Not everyone is an avid modeler and they may not be compelled to scratch build the plates.

Grav plates are something I can definitely look at doing at some point.

All we now need is some Ultra Modern African forces.

GZG has some Sci Fi African troops.

I backed at the Tank Driver level for now to have access to backer only updates and keep it in my radar scope; I'm hoping to be able to pledge more but I'll have to check those finances first! I do have some of the Dark Star 6mm minis from the Adler days and I was very happy with them, 15mm scaled versions can only look even better!

Thank you Bob, much appreciated!

Say, did y'all know we just got on facebook. I know, a bit late….

congrats on the funding -- any sneak peeks for the infantry now that we have seen the APC variant?

Thanks Jason! Yes indeed, we are now funded! Woop woop!
There will be teases of the new figures every so often, so keep your eyes peeled on the the Kickstarter page!

Thanks Jason! Yes indeed, we are now funded! Woop woop!

Not at 15mm, as i'm aware. Know about the 25mm PAU troops.

gzg (been out for a while) Pan-African Union (PAU)

ALL-NEW-SCULPT PAU (Pan-African Union) troops – these are new to 15mm, having only been made previously in our old 25mm range; the PAU ground forces are equipped at low to mid-tech light infantry, generally without body armour and wearing either combat helmets or traditional soft jungle caps. In addition to being used as PAU forces, these figures also provide an excellent generic range of light infantry for your own backgrounds and settings.

Cheers for the heads up.

These look really great and I'm in for 100(at least, depends when the tax refund arrives!)

7 more days…

Now that the MechaFront KS is done : everyone who still has money left please look at this one:-)
