Dream Pod 9's Jovian Wars Kickstarter to make a series of new, high quality resin spaceship miniatures for the Jovian and CEGA factions of the Jovian Wars – Tabletop Wargame, successfully reached its initial funding goal in its first 72 hours. This has made available to our Backers the Constantinople and Birmingham ships for the CEGA faction and the Alexander and Majestic ships for the Jovian faction. Plus we have unlocked four additional ships; the Narwal and Hammerhead for CEGA and Forge and Ypres for Jovian that are available as add-ons to the original Backer reward levels or via a new reward level that includes all eight ships. Check out the image below to see all the spaceships available via the Kickstarter, with them all shown to scale and a ruler along the top for size.
Easy assembly of the new ships is our goal, with Engines, Cargo, and Habitat sections that have a large peg in the front to match holes in the back of the Cargo, Habitat and Forward Hull sections. We have also added small, centered pilot holes on all the large pegs and in the holes for easy drilling and pinning of the parts if the players want. See the exploded parts view image below of the Birmingham and Majestic Fleet Carriers. Plus we have standard pegs on the sides of the forward hull sections to mount weapons, which all have matching holes in their underside. We even have these same standard pegs on the sides of the habitat ring or pod sections so players can customize their ships with small cargo containers and other parts, that are planned as stretch goals during the Kickstarter.
We made two proof of concept ships, the Remastered Valiant and Poseidon, to show our players what the final new resin ships and acrylic bases would look like. Below is a photo of the two resin ships along with our fleet scale Exo-Armor and Fighter Squad bases in front, all are available as add-ons in the Kickstarter.
