Quick update, the final set of prints have arrived been cleaned up and will ship to the casters this week, that took longer than expected but that is the nature of the beast I suppose. Casting has begun with the first print batch moulds, and batch two mould making is in progress, the images below show the batch three prints shipping this week.
As can be seen we now have two variant Hierarch's in the tainted command set and I decided that the Skinnerz tractor needed an engine boost plug in in order to tow those heavy arty carriages and we have a portable generator option too all added to pledges for free.
Regards John

Just a few pictures
Thought you all may enjoy the odd picture as I build some of the campaign pieces, these are the first of these models ever built outside of a computer.
So we have the Tainted wheels of death set consisting of the Decimator super heavy tank escorted by four Rampager light tanks, oh look at the baby ones so cute, also had time to clean up a couple of redeemers as well.
It may help to know that he Redeemers and Rampagers are on 25mm round bases and the Decimator is on a 40mm square base for gauging relative size. Not the best pictures but light has been poor today.
More images as an when I have time to build stuff.
Cheers John

I have had several requests to release this model despite the minor wing fit problem previously noted so here it is the Novan fast cruiser is released today. Please read the stores model info before deciding on purchase cheers.
Novan Fast Cruiser - £8.00
Citation :
A multi part full resin cast model of the Novan Fast Cruiser.
Please note that this model has minor fit issues with the wings which is why i’m selling them cheaper than would normally be the case. Customers have requested release of this model regardless of this problem so I have done so. If you look at the gallery images of the ship you can see what the problem is and make up your own mind if you want to purchase or not, really you just need to trim/file the wings to sit better in the recesses and tidy up with green stuff if you wish.

The Novan Elites Guardian tank now comes with a new turret. In case you prefer the previous version, it's still available.
Novan Elites Guardian Tank Auto-cannon Turret - £10.00
Citation :
The Elites Guardian tank is yet another product of Tusculum Nova’s most advanced research and development program to equip it’s Elite forces with the most powerful weapons and equipment that can be provided. Guardian’s are intended to act as front line main battle tanks a roll originally filled by the older Scorpion designs which have now been relegated to a supporting roll for the mechanised squadrons. The hull bears a similar appearance to the Mauler assault transport and was developed alongside that vehicle. Although smaller than the mauler it is none the less a very potent design heavily armed and armoured with an impressive turn of speed .
This particular variant of the Guardian utilises the latest turret design commonly found on many new production run Trojan IFV’s with in this case a twin 30mm auto-cannon mounted to either side of the commanders hatch with both anti-personnel and anti-armour capability, cheaper and easier to produce and maintain than the Guardians railgun system this configuration has found favour with many Elite forces and has even been retrofitted to damaged vehicles in the field.
Two sponson mounting points are also available these can be fitted with several weapon options with either the standard laser cannon or heavy machinegun being the most common choices and there is also a permanant forward hull MG fitted as standard.
In the guardian elite forces have a highly versatile and potent battle tank able to survive in the deadliest of warzones.
This pack contains 3 x guardian main battle tanks.
Model dimensions are: 30mm long, 22mm wide not including sponsons, 15mm high to top of turret.
New releases from Troublemaker Games this time modular plastic terrain kits from their recent successful crowd funding campaign now in store, these are the start of a whole series of terrain sets planned for the future.

Update from the crowdfunder:
Citation :
State of play for the campaign pledges.
Hello again Backer's,
A little update to keep you all informed on just what's happening.
Good news, I have received this week another batch of campaign casts with more to follow by the end of next week. I will be checking over all this mountain of casts and separating them into individual pledges ASAP.
Bad news, there have been some issues with a lot of the infantry casts so in order to get the best casts possible to you all I have been working on correcting the problems this week and have just shipped the figures back to the casters for moulding. This obviously means that these figure sets will be further delayed with late May sometime as the best estimate for delivery to me I can give at present.
The following sets will be delayed, Tainted command, Tainted heavy armour, both Urban regulars sets, Skinnerz artillery crews, Eloi Phase walkers and female commissars.
So what I intend to do as far as practicable is ship out all pledges with what models I have available and send the delayed infantry sets in a second shipping wave once they are in. Obviously this is not ideal but at least you guys will be getting the majority of your orders and I clear a load of castings I have lying around here. Costly for me to do it this way but I hate to keep people waiting.
Hope you guys find this an acceptable solution.
King regards John

More terrain!
Citation :
Another plastic set from Troublemaker Games released tonight this time with the addition of resin cast domes. The Basilica Minoris, I only have a few sets at present but more will follow as soon as possible.
Domed Gothic Basilica Minoris Set - £14.00
Citation :
A plastic tiles and resin domed roof set consisting of the following:
2 x resin domes
4 x gothic buildings sprues (16 x panels, 8 x buttresses)
Thought i'd post up some pictures of the latest castings that have come in I will be sorting over these and bagging up as normal over the coming week, hope to see the last of the outstanding castings arriving within the next two weeks fingers crossed.
Currently have 25 more pledges ready to ship by weeks end with more to follow the week after with luck. The desire is to be able to complete all orders by the end of May.
So pictures here we have the Urban regulars sets which we have converted to single sided sprues which has resulted in excellent casts, it's the way forward for sure. Also the female political officers, Eloi Phase Walkers and Tainted aircraft for your viewing pleasure.
Thanks for your continued patience.
Kind regards John

Aerial for your 3mm Novan Elites forces:
3mm Novan Elite Air Attack Wing (S6) - £5.00
Citation :
This set contain 9 x Novan Elites Javelin Fighters.
Each Novan Elites Mk2 Gladiators set contains 6 x Mk 2 Gladiators with three leg poses, 2 x of each weapon arm (16 x weapons, total), and 4 x Dorsal Missile Pods.
3mm Cybershadow Jaeger War Stalker Interaction (W4) - £14.00
Citation :
Cybershadow forces use War Stalkers as a core part of their combat forces.
The Jaeger medium class war stalkers operate in hunting teams of two or more machines their primary function the destruction of enemy war engines. Jaegers sport heavy armour and shields to their front and are much faster and more manoeuvrable than the more common Dreadnought design but have sacrificed rear protection and firepower to achieve this agility.
Cybershadows War Stalkers are 30mm tall to the cockpit window (they’d be a little taller if they stood up straight).
Skinnerz armies often make use of horde style attacks, favouring massed waves of light infantry and vehicles over fewer, higher quality units.
Skinnerz light tanks are superb when employed in this role, each being lightly armed and armoured, but cheap to construct and quick to repair.
Skinnerz Tanks are metal models approximately 1.5cm long depending on the sculpt, and come in 4 hull and 4 turret sculpts, which can be combined in 16 different combinations.
