Check out this great little miniatures company, Troublemaker Games as they are doing a crowdfunded plastic 6mm infantry/vehicle sprue as we speak that may be very useful to certain collectors.

Funding is going well and they have several ideas to improve on the finished sprue content if stretch goals are reached.

Full coverage of this project can be found at the Tactical Command forum in the casting/sculpting section.

Hey toxicpixie thanks for adding the link, how do you do that by the way.

Anyway the steampunk Timeline 300 10mm range was not what i was refering to in my post sorry, i should have been clearer.

TG are crowdfunding a 6mm plastic human/green skin sprue to help fill the void by the demise of a certain well known range of figures.

The campaign is on the indiegogo.com site, there is a direct link to this campaign on the Tabletop Gaming News site attached to the Troublemaker Games ad.

I think this sprue will be a useful source for those wanting to get into a certain grimdark universe cheaply and make a good starter set for new players. They also plan an accompanying metal range to go with it.Smile

You just type the URL in and the forum will pick it up Smile

That indiegogo looks quite nice, but shame about the same pose. Still, it's not a bad price for some very decent looking not-Orks & not-Guard.

Plans for further poses, heavy weapon guys, officers etc.

These will be added with the stretch goals, the more support the greater the variety.Smile

Worth keeping an eye on then! I could use some not-Ork field guns. Have half a mind to kit bash some 25pdrs & Bofors guns but never actually gotten round to it Smile

They have plans for a range of metal releases to go with the plastics, some items already designed i believe field guns amongst them. Also tanks, walkers and additional metal infantry types.

Round bases may be seperated from the sprue to allow for more figures.

Nice looking not-Gretchin there! If I wasn't hard up and hadn't vowed to stop buying not-Orks I'd give them a punt Smile

Less than £400 to go to unlock the advanced sprue with extra models and seperate bases. Smile They are doing well.

For those who are interested.

The project is going well. First stretch goal achieved and the seconds almost there.

So we now have more models on the sprue, seperate bases sprue and four metal additions to the range. Love those grimdark tanks. Smile

Next up will probably be additional infantry poses to add more variety to the basic sprue.

Just one week left on this project. They have tripled the original funding goal and have some great new models to be released.

All orders over the £6000 level are contributing towards additional poses on the sprue, and you can now get the aliens or humans half of the sprue seperately if you just want one army.

This initial wave of releases is just the beginning of the planned range with metal mechanicum style forces due soon.

No problem Pete, i've had a personal interest in this project so keeping this thread updated is easy.

By the way there is a possibility of a special offer running on the last week so check in before the 27th if you are interested.

Just a reminder for those who are interested theres 36 hours remaining on this campaign it's now or never if you wish to support them. Smile

Several new sculpts are on the cards so the pictured sprue is not the final product by any means.
