Crowdfunding 6mm: c’est parti

Do the £3 for international shipping counts in the £45 and £90 ?

Est ce que les £3 pour frais de port international comptent dans les £45 et £90 ?

Rationally it probably shouldn't. But I'm going to say yes because I love France.

Do we have to add manually in paypal the 3 £ for shipping cost ? (it s for an alien biker gang so 22£) 
Doit on ajouter manuellement les frais de port dans paypal ?

Oui.

It's good to know  that, I paid the additionnal shipping cost 3 or 4 times...

I will put in free stuff for big customers most likely. ;-)

Dernière mise à jour en date, le lance-missile humain et la nouvelle pose des troupes de bases.

Autant j'aime bien la nouvelle pose du trouffion, autant le lance missile j'aime pas. Pour moi s'il avait un genou à terre ça irait mieux.

Ben, I do like the new "aggressive" pose of the basic trooper, but the missile trooper looks very static. a would have prefered a kneeled down position.

Hey, the problem is if we go off the flat mould-line, such as by putting one foot in front of the other, it will cost us hundreds of pounds to make the mould-line "flow" like that.

I'd love to have the missile trooper in a less "flat" pose, but it'd take ~£300 (~£600 in pre-orders) to having him take half a step forwards!

Hope that makes sense. If we have to choose between the missile trooper take a knee, or getting half way towards putting a whole extra sculpt on the sprue, I think the extra sculpt gets priority?

oh, that makes sense. Plastic molding are a hell of constraints...

 And of course go for extra sculp rather than kneeled down trooper.

Ah, cela va de soi. les contraintes d'injection plastique sont d'un compliqué...

Et bien sûr mieux vaut une pose en plus qu'un genou à terre.

Juste un truc que je n'ai pas compris : les nouvelles poses et figurines seront disponibles sur les grappes en plastique si un certain palier est atteint ou c'est déjà possible?

We're waiting to hear back from the factory how many sculpts we can afford to have on the plastic sprue. I think we've already got enough for several sculpts. Maybe if we hit £8k we will have enough for all the sculpts. But we do not yet know so I can't confirm or deny where we are, other than to say that *probably* we have a better sprue than the original concept on its way.

Rah! C'est cool!

C'est impressionnant de voir ce qu'est devenu le projet en six semaines, je faisais partie des sceptiques du début, je dois bien admettre que je me suis trompé, félicitation pour le résultat et le travail fourni, bonne chance pour la suite de l'aventure.

Je n'ai pas encore contribué, mais ça ne saurait tarder.
La question que je me pose, c'est à propos de la partie "agressive aliens". Contiendra-t-elle des alien slaves ?

Il y a eu un projet de grappe avec alien slaves, alien boss et shooty grunts. Donc si la grappe ne contient pas de slaves, je vais en prendre en métal, tandis que si elle en contient, je vais pouvoir prendre plus de grappes.

So ... slaves or not slaves ?

Youhou, les £8000 ont été atteintes, 500£ récoltés en à peine quelques heures, c'est pas mal.

Et Ben a annoncé sur le tactical command forum qu'il double la récompense des £8K (donc 2 grappes gratos pour £45 et 4 pour £90 investis) s'il collecte £9K!

Keep going Ben!

Il y a déjà mes £50 à rajouter dans quelques heures 

d'accord avec rahan, le lance missile fait rigide un peu baclé avec son chargeur? viseur ? ... on dirait une pièce de légo

Le porteur de lance-missile est un poil statique mais bon rien de trop grave non plus.

En tout cas je suis enchanté de voir le projet se porter aussi bien! Cela veut dire que l'on verra débarquer la troisième faction un peu plus tard!

Plus que deux jours!

Yes, I can see us doing another crowdfunder for the third faction (Tech-loving robed troops & cyborgs) in ~2 months.

Oh, and plastic scenery.

We hope to be able to put Alien Slaves ("Gobblers") on the sprue. It depends on if we get enough support.

I think 2 month is not far enough. People will need to stash some money away. You should just release some additional cheaper to produce models in the meantime (ie:metal) to show that you are actually releasing a range (that's what people buy), and get a proper home for DiD (painted miniatures, gallery, Wip shots, frequent updates not on a Forum, online shop...).

And next time, have actual quotes for everything, painted prototypes, work out the quirks before, have a clear plan... I'm glad this campaign is successfull, but it really is a mess.

The entire of the 3rd faction was intended to be metal (so, cheaper). We'll definitely have the models (with painted examples) up on the Troublemaker Games website and deliveries well under way before we release the Cybershadows faction.

The plastic scenery is intended to have cross-over appeal with 10mm scifi gamers, so we wouldn't be relying only on the 6mm community to dig deep there.

Nor would we be looking for a £10k campaign again. We reckon we can do some great plastic scenery for more like £4k.

I agree. I can only say that we've been caught off-guard by how incredibly popular we've been. We expected to have a struggle to get to £2250. Now it looks like we might do 4x that. It's been an amazing response.

I agree.

Me too...

It's a bit difficult to sum up mentally all that was added, modified... during the growth of the project. Surely because it's full of great things!

Les £9K ont été franchies cette nuit!

Nouveau stretch goal a £10K : commandeur suprème alien et humain pour toute contribution de £50 (donc avec 2 grappes gratuites également).



Ben a dû pondre les figouzes dans la soirée d'hier, bravo à lui pour le rendu. Le SC alien mériterais encore quelque ajustement mais il est très bien en l'état.

Good job Ben, you were fast for those guys! the alien SC as a good look but it looks like that he still needs some work to be fully operational.

Keep going!

Ben, do you have a new idea for each new range of 1000£ until the very end ?

Next step : 1000£ in ten minutes !

Ben, a reward for those who pledged more than £90 would be nice, as in my case I've pledged more than that and I still don't know if I will pledge more today.

Ben, un reward pour ceux qui comme moi ont déjà mis plus de £90 serait le bienvenue, histoire de donner une motivation supplémentaire pour investir des brouzoufs en plus aujourd'hui.
