Hello everyone. I am pleased to announce the launch of Stars Reach spaceship miniatures on Kickstarter. Stars Reach spaceship miniatures are designed by Twilight Game Designs TJ. I am managing the Kickstarter for them (including promotion and pledge management). Twilight Game Designs is offering three new fleets that can be used in games such as 5150 Star Navy by Two Hour Wargames, Squadron Strike by Ad Astra Games, Starmada by Majestic Twelve Games, and more. The three fleets are: the Koreth Imperium, the Trazari Colonies, and the Human Commonwealth. Stars Reach spaceship miniatures will be cast in pewter in the USA. Production and fulfillment will be provided by Acheson Creations. This Kickstarter is live now and will end at 10:00pm EST on Sunday, April 30, 2017. Follow the link and pledge today! The universe is counting on you! link Please spread the word and feel free to ask me questions here or on the Kickstarter project page. – Bryan (aka Stratos) |

Only slightly disappointed Full Thrust wasn't mentioned. ;->= Still, I shall be on board shortly. Pleased they are finally offered; as I commented before on the designs, some will see 'space', some will see battles in the VSF skies crowded with Aeronefs and Ether Flyers… Doug |

Designed by the talented Charles Oines! |

I'm all in on this one. Been waiting for these minis ever since I saw them mentioned on the Two Hour Wargames forums. Regards, Scott Chisholm |

Glad you guys like what you see, I actually designed the ships the old fashion way with pencil and grid paper and then Charles worked his magic to give them that extra polish! Sorry I didn't mention Full Thrust, as all of you know there are almost to many rule sets out there to keep up with, so I only mentioned the ones I have worked with directly to make an expansion for providing ship stats, some background info, etc. But the idea from the start was if you like the figs, use them with what ever rule set you already know and enjoy!
I am humbled and thank you for your interest in this labor of love that has taken some time to come about. I love the hobby and wanted to try and give something back that others as well as myself would enjoy. I have many more factions and ship designs for the existing factions as well, but, one thing at a time:) Happy gaming all and may the dice Gods give you favor:) |

Alright, I'm in for a couple of those Koreth packs, they look the business, and I really like that Commonwealth carrier, so one of those. |

Sorry I didn't mention Full Thrust, And the smiley indicated I wasn't TOO miffed… Yes, on board. As for dice gods, I'm usually happy when they fail to notice me. Doug |

You guys need to put the photos of the painted miniatures up on KS. The tiny thumbnails and the yellow-shifted videos don't do them justice. People will give you money if they see that you have physical miniatures that paint up well, not just renderings. |
| Stratos | 20 Apr 2017 1:02 p.m. PST |
@emckinney. I will repost the photos as static images on the main KS page. Keep in mind, these are not renders. These are actual painted minis. Cast by Acheson Creations and painted by Evil Bob Miniature Painting. - Bryan, Stars Reach Kickstarter Manager |

More photos added to the main page of the project… link |
| emckinney | 20 Apr 2017 5:58 p.m. PST |
Excellent! The big graphic showing the single miniatures has some bad typos. "Mardrid," "Againcourt." Haven't proofed the whole thing. |
| Stratos | 21 Apr 2017 10:09 a.m. PST |
@emckinney – Thanks for pointing those out. That graphic is out of my hands as it was in place before I took over management. That said, a closer look at Stretch Goal #1 was just posted with some new images – link |

Stars Reach spaceship minis Kickstarter ends in less than 1 week now and out first Stretch Goal… an extra CA per fleet box… has been unlocked! - Bryan |
| TheBeast | 24 Apr 2017 7:22 a.m. PST |
Kewl! I tend to like my fleets, as I am myself, a bit thicker in the middle. ;->= The thing I'm REALLY excited about his getting my hands on the results. I'm thinking some of these will play very nice with some recent Studio Bergstrom purchases. I know it's not nice to mention competitors, but it's good for me! Doug |
| Stratos | 28 Apr 2017 3:28 a.m. PST |
We're approaching the final 48 hours! Two Hour Wargames is now tossing in a free PDF copy of 5150 Navy Stars rules for use with the Stars Reach minis. With any luck at least another stretch goal or two will unlock before the project closes on Sunday at 10pm Eastern. - Bryan |

Happy Saturday! I'm pleased to announce that Stretch Goal #2 is now unlocked and everyone pledging at least $55 USD (Commodore level) will receive their choice of either one Battle Cruiser (BC) or one Carrier (CV) per fleet box for free! This additional reward option is of course paired with the free Heavy Cruiser (CA) from Stretch Goal #1 and complimentary 5150 Star Navy PDF. link
We've got about 32 hours remaining in this campaign so tell your friends and let's get that last Stretch Goal unlocked!! - Bryan |
| TheBeast | 29 Apr 2017 12:55 p.m. PST |
Caught you between the total topping $3,500 USD, and your changing the graphic on the site. ;->= For once, I got in early enough to thank OTHERS for increasing MY booty! Thanks, all! Doug |
