Hello all, I have been busy this week with a family emergency, so I haven't been able to post updates or work much on the project. However, I managed to squeeze a little bit of work done in my hotel room, so I present the (very early stages) of the first few Chaos Tinmen Fearmongers.
There are 48 hours left to back the project! It's been a wild ride but we're almost there.
Next update will be the poll to decide the winner of the Port-O-Battle Paint Contest!
I'm happy to announce we've unlocked Port-O-Battle's 2nd achievement. And with that unlock, I have created a whole new pledge level for 24 teams.
Thanks to everyone who has backed the project! You can change your pledge if you want the 24 teams. Keep in mind that it will take quite a while to get there - It look 2.5 weeks to make the Harmonious Collective Trailblazers. But also keep in mind that as I make more and more teams and weapons, further teams will less and less time, just like Port-O-Bowl. I think I should finish the 24 teams and 2 combat zones by early next year.
At long last I finished the Harmonious Collective Trailblazers. This team was a doozy - it had to be completely scratch built as I hadn't made the species or the weapons from the ground up. I had some help making the weapons though from Cryptek No Name - please check out his cults here. The guy knows how to make space rifles!
Without further ado, here they are!
I also enclosed a poll attached to this post for the team after this one. This is the last poll I'll conduct before making the 5 teams as picked by the winner of the painting contest (check it out here!)
As I did an alien team this time, in the interest of balance, the poll will only be for chaos and imperial teams.
I would like to point out that we are $11 short of unlocking the 24 team commitment. I know we'll get there before the end, but if you were thinking of adding on Port-O-Bowl, this is the time to do it.
2) Download the sample files in the Sample Files channel.
3) Print and Paint ONE (1) mini from the sample files directory. There are 4 available.
4) Send a photo directly to me or post it in the paint contest pics channel.
5) Winner is determined by - what else? A poll!
The winner gets to choose 5 teams, and I will make those teams next after the upcoming poll. They will also get access to those 5 teams, no matter which pledge level they backed.
The deadline is FRIDAY, JULY 18th at 8PM PACIFIC TIME!
Thanks to backer D3North for the great idea for this contest!
I apologize for the late update, but as I stated in my FAQ, it can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to make each Strike Team, depending on whether I have have to make the species, the weapons, or how many options it has. The Harmonious Collective Trailblazers is a perfect trifecta: I've not yet made the species, I've not yet made the weapons, and it has an abundance of options. But I have something to show off, so without further ado, say hello to the first three members of the Harmonious Collective Trailblazers:
Not only did I not yet have the weapons made yet, but I still haven't made them. These weapons were graciously provided by Cryptek No Name. I have been impressed with the models he has been making on another discord, so I asked if he could help me out to help speed up the process during the campaign. Please check out his cults here:
Finally, I would like to announce a painting contest. While I finish up the Harmonious Collective, I think it would be fun to see how people will paint up Port-O-Battle. There have been some amazing paint jobs of Port-O-Bowl minis:
Painted by Tim Ballisto
Painted by Levinas
Painted by Sir Gibb
I will post a new story and post an update pointing to it later today. In the mean time, join the discord and head to the sample files channel to download the samples- you're going to need them! The contest will involve painting one of any of the 4 minis provided. The contest will end in 2 weeks.
