Several months ago, I started searching for a way to improve the quality, lower the price and bump the production level to meet my customers’ expectations. I am happy to say that I have met and exceeded these goals. The Leviathan Crusader has made it to the pre-production phase (mold draft and parting line establishment for metal tooling) and is ready to become a plastic injected model kit. Not Resin, not Restic, not some soft plastic hybrid, but injected high impact styrene. The same kind of model kit you will find in any hobby store.

One of our largest stumbling blocks has been keeping up with customer demand for our resin kits. We have found it increasingly difficult to produce our large kits in a quality, quantity and price point to meet my high standards. The constant search for a suitable service provider and manufacturing method for our resin kits has stifled design and production, taking me away from the important work of product design and game development.

On August 16th; the first day of Gencon, we will open up our Kickstarter campaign to help fund this switch from resin and metal miniatures and models to an all plastic line.

You can read more and possibly win a Leviathan Crusader kit by liking our Facebook page and leaving a comment so we can find you again later.

Very nifty, I may pledge for one myself. If I may make a suggestion, create a smaller pledge (1-5 dollars) for people who want to support what you are doing but for whatever reason aren't willing to pledge 89 to get a model.

Stormtrooper Accessory Pack.

This pack will allow you to customize your troopers in ways unimaginable with most miniature lines. Let your imagination run wild, build vignettes, dioramas; tell a story with your imagination as the only limit!

If you're like me, you love the ability to customize your minis so that no two look alike. The combinations you can achieve are staggering. This pack includes multiple arm and hands, heads, weapons, pouches and other accessories of war.

We would also like to introduce you to the Cargo Mule, a semi-autonomous mechanical beast of burden. No longer do you need to tie up valuable fighting forces, hauling supplies, ammunition and light support weapons from one end of a battlefield to the other. The (HHM) Hammer Head Mule is capable of following simple commands such as, follow, return to depot and move to that objective. The other option is to utilize the (CCM) Central Command Mule, controlled by your command detachment via a coms link routed back to the Communications Officer. This allows your command squad to control the Mule's mission, freeing your troopers for the fight.

I like, but I have to admit I'd be much more inclined to peldge for some infantry and a big stompy robot if there were options to make the soldiers female. This isn't a suggestion, just stating my own position. I don't need more male soldiers, but female soldiers are rare.

"The Leviathan Crusader and Stormtroopers will be produced in plastic!
THANK YOU!"

Nice one, contratulations Dreamforge. This stuff aint my cup of tea really, but I think it's a good thing for wargaming in general to have more high detailed plastic kits come out. These ones look to be of a high standard as well, and that's always a good thing to have in the miniatures world IMO.

EDIT : hell, may pledge to this anyway. $25 (inc shipping) is a pretty good deal for ten plastic troops like that.

I would love to make a set of female soldiers, the fluff supports this with "Independent Households"

I will need to complete out an opposing force but that would be a fun project to come back to!

If you do, I hope we can blow you away with the end product....

I look forward to seeing that if you get the opportunity to do it.:) Of course now I'll have to pledge for something.:p

There I pledged $25. I would pledge more but I am not that well off finacially, sadly.

I hope this evolves into it's own game. Theres more than enough ideas for it to be able to stand on it's own two feet. It would be nice to have another science fantasy game with hard plastic kits too - the more variety the better, and people that don't like 40k can go with something like this instead.

Personally I much prefer the look of both the human soldiers and more heavily armoured ones to 40k's equivilents - it looks more like it is closer to Dune's version of science fantasy to me. The renders of the heavy armoured ones also remind me heavily of the Sardaukar! :) Hopefully you'll introduce some non-giger/ST-bugs looking non-humanoid aliens into it at some point too ;)
