Shaun paints up a stunning Leviathan Crusader

Shaun over at Tanks and trolls posted up a wonderfully painted Crusader on our forum.

Please feel free to drop by and see the other great work can conversions.

Shaun has far more painting skill than myself and does one hell of a job turning a Crusader into a GK titan. 

Here is what he had to say:

“Made a little time between commission work to knock out this Crusader, another ticked off the list!

Went together like a dream and fun to paint, will be putting some pennies by to bag Dreamforge’s Mortis model in the future. 

Decided to go with a GK theme to compliment my ever growing forces but tried to keep it pretty generic so as to be able to use it in pretty much any gaming system that requires a giant death dealing war machine!

Or even a replacement Dreadknight for those people that thought the standard GW ones were a little anorexic and required a month at the gym (well this is the result)

Besides...I like shiny”

All I have to say is, WOW! Hats off to you, thats one hell of a paint job!

I encourage you to go check out Shaun’s site. Lots more pics and not just DreamForge stuff. Awsome collection and some amazing painting chops!

When overkill just wont due....Double gunnin gets it done

Someone say overkill? guess I spoke too soon...

Eisenkern Heavy Trooper (Preview) 28-32mm miniatures

I am pleased to introduce the Eisenkern Heavy Trooper. Shown here are the three variants.

On the left, an anti-personnel or AA mount, nothing says suppressive fire like a quad S.A.W.  

Center, is an assault specialist armed with a power sword and wearing the fluted commander’s helm and chest armor.
To the right, a belt fed auto-cannon to deal with that armor problem.

Here is the optional helm for those that prefer a more unified WWII/Weird war feel.

Here is an exploded view. Note the separate arms, head and shoulders… this will allow the modeler to use components from other miniatures to keep a cohesive look to their weapons, no matter what game they choose.

Here is a scale comparison with a Sturmtruppen.

Here is a scale comparison with another manufacturer’s sci-fi mini.

Note: These will be very slightly taller than most 28mm scale at 33.5mm from the bottom of the foot to the top of the head, about 2mm taller than most minis. Not so large as to look out of place on the table but if your eying them form ground level you may see a differance.

When will these be available? I don’t have a date yet but I hope to start the print and mold process ASAP. I will be posting the Eisenkern Sturmtruppen and Kriegsmarine on my web site next month.

Sneak peek of an Eisenkern Heavy Trooper

Still a W.I.P.

Here is one of three troopers for the "heavy" trooper class. The soldier is clad in full power armor and wielding a quad mount machine gun. On his back is an auto-loader system to reload his main weapon as well as a massive power supply for his armor.

There will be three heavy troopers…. More to follow….

Only five days left on the Kickstarter project!

A huge THANK YOU! to all the project supporters.

You can see the project HERE

I sent the files off to have the masters made last week, so we could try to get a head start.

We only have five days left on the project, if you would like to participate, your support is greatly appreciated. Although the project is funded, roughly $2000.00 will still be coming from my personal funds. I would need to reach roughly $7700 in total project pledges to be completely in the black.

Thank you for looking and for your support!

Some changes to the production miniatures.

Looking around the web, the most common suggestions, complaints, what have you, is that the figure appears top heavy. Rightfully so, this is caused by the legs not being true to scale and the shoulders being too wide.

The arms and shoulders need to clear the chest projections so that you can pose the figure, I can however make some changes to the arms and changes to the legs so that the figure has a much more “correct” form.

After polling my project supporters, there was a strong consensus that we use the more “correctly” scaled miniature for the final production models.

I would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to all the supporters that have graciously given to make this project a reality.

Although we have met and exceeded to project goal, I would like to encourage you to take part in the project. The cost to manufacture the prototypes and make the molds has still not been fully paid for. The project will need to reach roughly $7300.00 to be in the black and completely self-supporting.

If you have been on the fence, I hope you view the new more correctly scaled miniatures with favor and help fully fund the project.

 
Thank you for looking and for your support!

I hope you enjoy the changes.
All the best!

New plastic minis!

Eisenkern Trooper Kickstarter Project and actual prototypes!

Well folks, I need your help. If you enjoy my models and would like to see this product line launch, please head on over to Kickstarter and add your support to the project.

If you're not familiar with the Kickstarter model, the way it works is you receive a reward for an accompanying pledge in support of my project. The more you pledge the better the rewards and the greater contribution you will make to this and future projects. Your positive participation will help a small independent company to grow and thrive and you gain the satisfaction of knowing you made this happen.

And what you have been waiting for....Here are a few shots of the actual prototypes for the Kriegsmarine and Sturmtruppen soldiers.

NEW PLASTIC STORMTROOPERS

New plastic figures proportion change and scale change (above) nothing went untouched for the new plastic line, the size scale and proportions were refined on every component!

These will be produced as lead free pewter miniatures.

Project rewards you say? You betcha!

A closer look at some of the rewards.

Although they did not make it into the Kickstater project... here is a tease of the accessory packs that will be available separately.

I hope to see you there and thank you for your support!
