And this is apropos of nothing.

Nice! Men seem a bit under equipped for grim dark standards. Infantry vehicle looks good too. A bit crude here and there, e.g. the driver viewport lacks a slit and the aft gun ports look a bit strange. No rivets? Is simplicity like this maybe a requirement of plastics?

Yes. You can't get as much detail into plastics as you can into metal.
On the other hand, considerably cheaper.

The aft port looks a little like a lego brick.

god - you're not doing lego type snap on weapons are you ?

If you slope the driver area back half a mm, you could have a slightly steeper patch for a 'slit'. all you need is one hard edge at the top to catch the paint.

Hangon, where's the mold line? are we talking separate tracks units to vehicle body? Becuase then you could have the body mold line diagonal from top back to bottom front and have a regular slit. (and more rear detail too)

It's where the angle of the tracks change. Multi-part vehicles would mean greater expense for mastering and less on the eventual sprue, seems not great.

hmm, so you could have a slit, as long as tooling resolution supports it.

Like the style, love the price....already shaping up to be better IG than GW ever made, both price-wise and qoulity-wise and since the evil empire is basically dropping specialist games, not outsourcing the creation of IG style armies to someone like you is no longer an option short of Ebay. if you kickstart this, I predict pretty good outcomes....especially if you do it with the Mech Men, allowing join creation of an IG force and a supporting Mechanicus contingent.

My Robe Troopers have been self-funded. If I do a plastics kickstarter, it'll be for more expensive stuff.

I need some of these. They could be stand ins for my canadians. The canadians and the ANZACs work well in space together.

Ranshackle for sure. Id buy... Lots.

I have a significant inherent interest in ramshacklery, especially if multiple weapon options were included to allow for further modifications and the ramshacklification of other vehicles. Assuming I like the designs, i would back the hell out of that

As to the tank-sprue from earlier, my immediate thought is that the tracks on the MBTs extend much too far back beyond the body of the tank and look stupid. if the overhand was halved, and maybe the sponsons be pushed a bit back towards the centre, that'd be nice, but as it stands i would not buy them.

I also think that mixing three such distinct types of vehicles into the one sprue is not a great option, because one of the biggest stumbling blocks in my past considerations of purchases, has been this need to bundle in stuff i dont want (or dont want as many of) along with the things i do want. this would be less of an issue if the vehicles were of the ramshackle post-apocalyptic looted raiders type, as the actual battlefield role could easily be merged.

Don't worry about that old mbt design. T'is an old concept.

That truck strikes as more of a half-track kind of vehicle?

Agreed, although I am amused by the squatting positions of the Boarks.
