Hello everyone. I came across this kickstarter the other day and didn’t see it on the KS section of the website. I just got my Stargrave rulebook, and I thought these would be some great models to use with that system. Here’s the link if anyone is interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/star-schlock-astros/star-schlock-astroguards-miniatures/description
May 10, 2021 at 6:20 am #1644312Nice sculpts and the “Pre-painted Figures in Collectible Packaging” option is a really nice twist.
May 10, 2021 at 7:26 am #1644313I feel I must report this to Friend Computer https://849310.smushcdn.com/1803394/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/paranoia-review-header.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1
May 10, 2021 at 7:32 am #1644314Thanks for finding this – added to my list! Great mix of Buck Rogers, Paranoia as tankkommander spots and other pulp sci-fi. The bots are especially cute
May 10, 2021 at 7:35 am #1644315@tankkommander they do look very similar 😉
May 10, 2021 at 9:18 am #1644339This appears to be their first KS project. Offering pre-paints makes me nervous, as this is a very easy way for a project to go bust.
May 10, 2021 at 9:28 am #1644342True but it’s only the display pieces… maybe they already did a bunch of those 😉
May 10, 2021 at 3:37 pm #1644469Dayum. I’ve got a Nickstarter’s worth of “official” Stargrave minis but the Paranoia look’s got me tempted.
May 10, 2021 at 4:01 pm #1644474I’m fact yes I’m in. Now is a very good time to wave non-gothic sci-fi minis at me ?
May 14, 2021 at 5:51 am #1645468To be honest I am tempted (those conscripts look awesome) and that video reminds me of the old 90’s toy ads, but as I already have a unpainted mountain of stuff (a great deal of which can be used for stargrave), a tight budget now that I am out of college, not to mention 2 KS backed this year already I am going to skip this, hope it does well though maybe I will pick some of these guys up in the future.
May 16, 2021 at 10:11 pm #1646266The style really is ‘Star Schlock’ 😀
Should fit nicely with the official stargrave stuff too.
This beats the ‘just add more skulls and crap’ style that GW has been going for since the 90’s.Prepaint options are a nice idea, but for a 1st ever project ? *eep*
I think those should have been limited to x amount of backers or something.
I’m afraid they’re letting stretchgoals get the better of them … I do hope they’re budgetting for failures and run-a-way succesThe Necronaut remind me of the Doctor Who episode “Silence in the Library”
Hey .. who turned out the lights ?
